  1. More than a Yankee symbol, a baseball legend. RIP.
  2. I get what you're saying. My point is, if people aren't afraid of asking questions related to cracks and what not, why would they be afraid of asking for support for something that's completely legal? I'm not saying that isn't an issue for some users, but don't you find it kind of strange?
  3. This is not my fight, but if people were afraid to ask for asssistance, we woudln't see requests related to piracy every other day.
  4. On the matter of the female Major Leaguer, I'm totally against it. I make my living off of a sport in which this problem has been discussed a number of times, and every so often it comes up again. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is based on leverage, and learning the proper technique so that you'll be able to defeat much larger and stronger opponents. Women and girls often train with men, and as soon as they learn a certain amount of techniques and get used to the grind that BJJ is, it's not uncommon at all for them to tap out stronger and bigger men - sometimes driving some pussies with over-inflated egos to abandon BJJ right away. My wife, for example, trains with men every day, and so does one of her cousins. That being said, and despite the fact that my Mrs. is a complete badass who generally wtaps out men in training and has a lot of gold medals (both in weight and open-weight categories), it would make no sense at all to have her in a competitive environment facing men, for the following reasons: - Men and women's bodies are very different, and now matter how strong a woman is, it would be almost impossible for them to be as strong as a man of the same weight. - Biological differences in muscle fibers and testosterone production make for the fact that men are stronger and faster. That is science, not an opinion. - Injury risks would be mutiplied by 10 if women competed against men. Only men would benefit from competing against women, and that is simply unfair. I'm all for equality, but this is just plain wrong. In the same way you wouldn't expect to see girls doing construction work (which I have!). On another matter, I've been saying this for years, even here: Americans overreact a lot. You guys seem to have trouble in finding a halfway measure. It's all or nothing. Like everything it has its pros and cons.
  5. OK, these two got my attention. First, in 2000 I went through 3 continents without having my passport signed. I should remind you that at the time I was a minor. I thought that with 9/11 all this would change but no. I've got some friends who work for airlines and in airports, and they say these kinds of mistakes and errors still happen. So, bottled water on a plane, that's a major violation. Invalid passports and people flying to the wrong destination, no problem! On the second one, it just occurs to me: 'Women always find a way to complain...'
  6. Forever hilarious, hahahaha
  7. Congrats everyone!
  8. ​ Because...money! That's why.
  9. Whatever it is, it's A-Rod's fault.
