Thanks for being here minty, the place would definitely not be the same without you.

You know we should have like a yellow jersey icon, a la Tour De France (oohhh Lance...) that the top sifter gets to have.

Yossarian i couldn't agree more.

Very british ceremony, and probably very much FOR the british people. I don't doubt that many of the reasons i enjoyed it will not be relevant to others. To take the stadium from fields of green to industrial towers was great, especially showing all of the people who were there (willing or not) to help the transition - boats arriving from the west indies and such, the suffragettes. To see the growth of britain and eventually the forging of the rings. I think the ring forging was one of the coolest things i've seen.

It was different, and at times anti-political, anti british. Because being anti british is a british trait. Thank you boyle for showing what pride in our country looks like. The NHS and great ormond street, these are things to be proud of. Our humour, our invention, our quirkyness, our gifts to the arts. If only this would inspire more pride in our health sector. We used to lead the world with our NHS till the tories got their hands on it, maybe we can once again if we take PRIDE in its quality; show the world what a free health system can be. Come on, britain. Where's all the pride gone?

Even though i wasn't such a fan of the singing and dancing and texting, i understand why it was there (a tribute to what we've given the world in the technology and arts departments) and i think choosing Danny Boyle was a masterstroke. I haven't seen anything like it in my life before, and thank god it was finally something to come out of britain to be proud of. At least the british public knows how to represent britain on the world stage. If you want to know how great "great britain" really is, watch our HUMBLE ceremony.

We could lead the world again by showing them what humility, cooperation and pride can do; no more money in politics, no corrupt bankers. Civilised society and fair play were once our specialities.

Btw interrupting a tribute to one of the major bombings of the "anti terrism era" led by bush no less is if you ask me outright insulting to the memory of the dead. To cut to a worthless talking head like ryan seacrest as well? I'm sorry that britain couldn't hold people's attention for longer than 3 minutes whilst we mourn the loss of our loved ones. I hope the silence for the wars didn't bore anyone either. We all payed dearly to defend this island, this link to the theatre of war that eventually inspired the world to fight with us against wrongdoing and against the odds; the least we might expect from the rest of the world is their attention span for a bit.

It was deemed good enough that china commissioned a stage version to be shown in beijing. I bet seacrest won't be getting a call up. Anyone who didn't like it - switch over to Big Brother, Celebrity Love Island, X's Got Talent, Geordie/Jersey Shore or E! now. I'm sure you'll be mesmerised. You might even find ryan seacrest presenting one of them!!

I have and will again.>> ^Yogi:

Wow you're a genius, you should write and direct movies.

Why is self defense or MMA about being a badass? Football is far more violent for example. Are people trying to look like a badass if they wear football related clothing? I don't fight for fun, I calm people down so they don't fight. You are imagining a whole story out of very little information when it comes to me and when it comes to people's fashion choices. It pays to get to know people rather than just assuming shit based on nothing.

(edit) PS. oh, and threatening people is against the law. That is where breaking the law comes in...

"Why is self defense or MMA about being a badass?" LOL look at these role models! And no, wearing football clothing isn't the same thing, because just wearing your team's jersey isn't a statement to the world that you might tackle them at any minute.
FWIW, I've seen my share of guido douchebags adorned in TAPOUT gear posturing like schoolyard bullies.
Going out in your TAPOUT hoodie is telling the world "I fight, so watch out for me." In my book, it's basically equivalent to putting martial arts patches on your jeans jacket in 1988.
So what's up, are you training to be a cage figher?>> ^swedishfriend:

From Wikipedia:

In June 2012, Carr's involvement in an alleged K2 tax avoidance scheme came to light after an investigation by The Times newspaper. The scheme is understood to involve UK earners "quitting" their job and signing new employment contracts with offshore shell companies based in the tax haven of Jersey.

Earlier in 2012 Carr had lampooned people who avoid tax during the second series of Channel 4's satirical news programme 10 O'Clock Live. A sketch from the show, in which he poked fun at the 1 per cent tax rate of Barclays Bank has now "come back to haunt him".

Right... cause Jersey accents make me think wicked smaht. (There's a little of my Boston accent for you).

This story epitomizes my love/hate relationship with my homestate of NJ: She's a shapely blonde from Jersey working at a lingerie shop for orthodox Jewish owners and is being represented by Gloria Allred... What's not to love/hate about this story?

Cypher: You know, I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.
Agent Smith: Then we have a deal?
Cypher: I don't want to remember nothing. Nothing. You understand? And I want to be rich. You know, someone important, like an actor.
Agent Smith: Whatever you want, Mr. Reagan.
Cypher: Okay. I get my body back into a power plant, you insert me into the Matrix, I'll get you what you want.


Ahhhh the beauty of plugging back into the matrix!

Ya I knew you were going to get hung up on that part but I could honestly care less about what Cenk was saying in this(he's usually an idiot anyway). In fact watch it again and just mute it every time he opens his mouth.

It's what Ana says that's important here she states that the burns on the girl were so bad that even if they did occur outside it still qualifies as neglect on the mothers part and since it hasn't even been hot in New Jersey this time of year it's rather doubtful that burns of that degree occurred from the child being outside.

Like I said there is more to this story that meets the eye. I'm not basing any of my reasoning on how this lady looks it's how she acts and what she says that really disturbs me. And it should disturb you as well.

>> ^Stormsinger:

And Cenk says exactly what you've been implying, "Guilty. I mean look at her, she's a freak." Completely decided the case without a shred of evidence that there even -was- a crime. There was no discussion of whether or not a crime was committed, his judgement was based wholly on her looks.
I don't know how I can say it any clearer...her looks, no matter how awful, don't justify arresting her. And her looks are the only thing any article I've seen has talked about.
>> ^Auger8:
TYT says it better than I can maybe you'll listen to them as there is more to this story than meets the eye.
And btw in the U.S. a person is normally arrested and charged with a crime FIRST, then you are issued a trial to determine your supposed guilt or innocence this is normal not unusual and just because someone is arrested doesn't automatically mean they are guilty.

But let's say your right and she got sunburned while tanning with her Mother outside. Is it any better that she took a 5 yr old to tan outside than it is to tan a 5 yr old in a tanning bed?
Are you fucking serious? You don't see a problem with her being arrested for taking her daughter outside?
Get a grip man! You're descending into idiocy...stop the slide now, and start thinking about what you're saying. You're starting from the decision that she's in the wrong, and now you're flailing around to try and find what it was she did. Rationalizing a prejudgement is a common human behavior, but that doesn't make it a good thing.
I know she looks a mess, but that's hardly reason to presume she's guilty of a crime. And that's precisely what the vast majority of commenters (on other sites, not so much here) are doing. Here, most are just making nasty comments about her looks, and ignoring the fact that she's been arrested apparently without evidence.

lol Jersey.

"A founding member of Driving Force Club, an elite New York City group of luxury sports car enthusiasts, bragged on Facebook about a "very fun" run last month with NFL running back Brandon Jacobs, who is wearing a New Jersey State Police vest.

The photo was posted March 30, the same day two State Police troopers allegedly escorted a caravan of luxury sports cars at speeds in excess of 100 mph down the Garden State Parkway to Atlantic City. The occupants included former Giants running back and sports car enthusiast Jacobs, according to a source with knowledge of the trip.

In the complaints, obtained by The Star-Ledger, witnesses said that in the early afternoon, they saw two State Police patrol cars with their emergency lights flashing driving in front of and behind the southbound caravan, which included dozens of Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris and other vehicles, all with their license plates covered with tape."
