Agreed. I actually want to read that tutorial.

Wow, "he's just got that look about him", he must be a charlatan. How about Abraham Lincoln, he was pretty weird looking too, I bet he had a dodgy past. Also, why do you keep promoting the video "Fall of the Republic" as high quality? I watched it and thought the quality totally pisspoor.
Cpianism: I have a negative number in my Rep so please fix it. Chris Maunder: That isn't a bug.

I think it's awesome that football players can understand what a crook looks like, while the people that know everything on this site just rail on you about it. That's what media does. They trample on your instincts and brainwash you until the day you die. Good find, CSS.

And? or is it a case that you always use "football*" stars are you source of political comment? Just what is this footballer's (sorry had to stop for a laugh) qualification? did he study law? or maybe spent years researching the link between looks and crime? I do seem to remember that a major study by a Top US university in the 70s came to the conclusion that look have NO relationship to crime * but calling a game where the use of the foot v ball is an exception rather than a rule is a bit silly, especially when there is already a game of the same name that does use the foot! is this a example of the qualty of thinking of the US people?
Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.

I have a theory... I think it's called "football" because the thing they carry around looks more like a foot than a ball... It even has shoelaces! Honestly though, if "football" wants to become a REAL sport, they should invest a little money into buying a ball that's actually round.

LOL (My turn for a laugh) I hope you understand the power of common sense. After the many posts on here about the case against the Federal Reserve, I think you should know my position and my couple years of research. But your comment serves as conclusive evidence that you haven't seen my debates with Ian. You may want to go search for that. I'm not about to just answer this with one paragraph. (BTW... just because ONE university does a study doesn't make it conclusive that the Fed doesn't do shady deals. Not saying that it's crime per-se, but I'd say that any deals behind closed doors with "government entities" should be considered a problem.)

I have NO idea what you're getting at here. All I was saying is that anyone with half a mind to think for themselves can see that this Bernanke guy is a clown, at the very least. Yes, don't judge a book by its cover, true. So go ahead and do some research on your own. That's what I've done, and came to the same conclusion as those guys that play a game with their feet.

If your foot looks like that I would recommend a visit to the chiropodist either that or stop buying fashion shoes. the ball shape I have no problem with, its the idea thats it football. Also there is already a game with that shaped ball that does the same role as "US Football he he he" its called Rugby, only thing is that dont have all the amour plate and commity meetings (iam still waiting for the first match that has a powerpoint presentation - it cant be far off)

No I have seen the discussions, but I was refering to the fact that you seem to think a sportman and a contact sportsman at that is a valid contributor to said discussion. If you used a nobel prize winning ecomanist I would have said OK fine, but a sportsman? get real. you seem to want a life based on something 150 years ago that didnt work, a policy that allowed buiness to control money far more than it can today, a system that not only allowed abuse but actively incorages it. As this is your system and your oppinion then thats ok by me, but to use such a referece in its defence comes across as petty and tends to show a weakness of argument. as for bernanka being a clown, he seems to be a might more successful than you, this would imply that he has more intelligence - as what he has done is not ilegal as far as I know, and even if not he is not making two bit programms that sounds like rants of a disgruntaled ex employee

You know, I didn't think much of this until reading this. Looking at the criminal records of some of the players perhaps they would be good at picking out criminals. But odds are this just ties back to the all but instinctive distrust of bankers that has been part of many parts of America pretty much the entire time it has existed. Which is funny, because it doesn't stop them from using them, and certainly doesn't stop them from electing idiots who give the bankers more ability to screw people.

The actual reason they call it football is much simpler. Back in the olden days there were two kinds of sports. What the aristocracy did, usually on their horses because they liked looking down at the peasants, and what the peasants played. Aristocracy played polo and other such games. Peasants played games on foot. Any game where they used a ball while running around on foot was called football. American football, football(soccer) and rugby all have a ie to these peasant games and have the right to be called football. Now cricket, well, that has no bearing whatsoever to an insect.

Rugby and football(soccer to you) started in the playing fields of the Rugby school - not the place you would find an average peasent, in fact rugby is still known as a game for thugs played by gentlemen ps i will agree that horse racing was the preserve of the rich. polo on the otherhand was a variation of a game played by the common mongol (only swopping a ball for someones head)

sorry. I had a minor in history and focused on medieval and ancient warfare and culture. Interesting stuff. We went over kids games and he explain how football just means and game where the people ran around. They were all considered "uncouth" by the aristocracy and so the closest thing you see to a them playing like that is golf. And they used horses to get around sometimes. I can go on about the stuff for hours..

Not sure I can agree here either (suprise suprise :-O ) but wasnt golf invested by the lower class of Scot? wacking a ball along the beach with a stick? most upperclass of that era were pretty uncouth, most got there by killing and then nicking the dead guys stuff. ps who said this was the source of the games?
