Hah, the answers have been translated back from Italian rather than recording what he actually said in English. I guess it turned out better than the famous News Radio scenario:

That could be true, but I wouldn't trust the New York Times on that. The truth is about the Riot Squad is they're an insane bunch of thugs. I don't like Beckhams shenanigans and I don't believe he wants to be with AC Milan during their pre-season where he probably wouldn't see much action anyway.

You could be right that he was mad and wanted to voice his opinion too, however going over there and getting ahold of himself and holding out his hand to shake one of theres is better than just flipping them off and threatening them.

People who act like idiots should be called out as idiots, the Riot Squad being the idiots. Beckham switching teams back and forth and not being as committed as he says should be called out for hypocrisy. I think Beckham is here to play soccer, and he is, setting up two goals for the Galaxy so far, and them generally playing better with him on the field. I don't care if he doesn't want to be here as long as he runs his hardest and makes plays, which is what he's been doing.

Perfect example. Go to an amusement park in Canada, then one in America. Yeesh, it's like leaving Milan for Jersey.

okay, I'm not being a smart-ass here, but I have no idea what that means... Which country are you saying has better amusement parks?


Hehe. Amusement parks just exemplify it perfectly. People in Canada dress stylishly even in amusement parks, or so I've observed. It's a "I'm going to be in public" attitude difference.

Lol yeah! He just said it like it was obvious or something and I just have no idea what the implication is... it's like he said, "we'll look at an American tree and then look at a Canadian tree and you'll see who's got the biggest supermarkets!"

Haha. I was curious about that, too, but somehow I was afraid if I said something people would think I was being a prick.

Cesar Milan is shaking his head in disbelief somewhere.

I dunno about you, but I have a good job that I'd like to keep. I could not afford to spend time in jail. California has an "At Will" policy and can legally terminate your employment due to incarceration. I know this from experience and it holds up in a court of law. Look up California employment laws. I'm not a lawyer, but one of my bosses used to be one and my mother works in a law office. Inefficacy might not be something that would stop determined minds who have dedicated their lives towards such pursuits, but when the majority of people are mostly spending their days being employed and enjoying (or just frantically keeping up) the fruits of their labor, despite their opinions (and especially if they have a family to support), are faced with moral dilemmas above the evil of government.

If you've ever read anything by Milan Kundera, you might be familiar with The Unbearable Lightness of Being in which the protagonist, a Czech surgeon named Tomas, is forced by the Soviets to either renounce a loosely anti-Communist article he wrote or step down as surgeon. He steps down and becomes a window washer. He is approached by his estranged son and a man who was impressed by the article, requesting his signature on a petition to free political prisoners. Tomas, remembering his wife's smiling face, declines to sign for fear of what the secret police might do.

As the days go by, he can't remember why he didn't sign, but when justifying to himself why he didn't, he recalls Czech history: 1618, in defiance of their emperor, the Czechs threw several high officials out the window of a castle in Prague, leading in part to the Thirty Years War. A war of which resulted in the death of 1/3 of the population of Czechoslovakia. More than 300 years later, at the 1938 Munich Conference, it was decided that Czechoslovakia would be given up to appease the Nazis. Here, the Czech leaders showed caution in not opposing, leading in part to World War II.

"Einmal ist Keinmal," says the author. Or, "What happens once might well have not happened at all." Meaning, we cannot ever know if caution or courage are the correct choices in situations. And, because I'd rather not spend time interpreting what I know of this philosophy into words, will quote Wikipedia: (Which is pretty accurate in this case.)

"By this logic life is ultimately insignificant; in an ultimate sense, no single decision matters. Since decisions do not matter, they are light — that is, they don't cause us suffering. Yet simultaneously, the insignificance of our decisions — our lives, our being — causes us great suffering. Hence the phenomenon Kundera terms the unbearable lightness of being: because life occurs only once and never returns, no one's actions have any universal significance. This idea is deemed unbearable because as humans we want our lives to mean something, for their importance to extend beyond just our immediate surroundings."

Some of us know this, or rather, believe this through experience, informing our actions or lack thereof. Yes, life can be unbearably light; and, through a combination of survival, providing for our families, understanding that courageous action can lead to catastrophe and that we have no way of knowing the whole truth in any given situation, do not go out disobeying the government to demonstrate.

Most of us wanna do the right thing, but sometimes the right thing isn't easily determined. I'll tell you what, though: if it came down to it, like Han Solo, I'd most assuredly fly back and shoot Darth Vader. (I'm going off on a tangent unrelated to my lack of conviction towards CD.) But in California, it is currently a time of peace and, despite having friends and relatives who are currently, faithfully blowing shit up (Semper fidelis), I am focused on being monetarily sound (and philosophically open) -- I really need more vespene gas.

start throwing rocks? Yell? Where's your gun if you live out near a farm??

wow just strange all around.. thats a shit load of dogs, and a lot of time to just be watching and not... do anything but comment under your breath. you can fake dogs out.. haven't you seen Cesar Milan i would have at least tried to hit the dogs with rocks, but yea i guess that's the extent of my plan... it's something!!!

it has a news story and its current. its not overly violent imagery (yes i have examples of what i would consider varying scales of violence)... the audio alone is as bad as anything, i think.

Upvote because of above reasons, and... the [chicks]'s name is llama and [she] posts llama videos... that's gotta be hard enough as it is... and this is quite relevant to the world of the llama; a world which we share!

...look how non-chalant the dog eating the llamas ass is... he barely makes an effort to move and chew. i wonder if that's a prime piece or if he's not popular with the pack.

Here Schmawy:

The title is the same from the YT submission, but I guess that the racoon name is willie and he is a "cat whisperer" like cesar milan is natgeo´s dog whisperer, a subduer of rebel pets and their owners.

Unless you have acreage, and the dog gets worked and played with EVERY day, if you own a border collie, you are abusing it. A border collie cannot be penned, tied up, or ignored any more than you can.

Not being funny but you ain't caesar milan, i really don't think you should be blanketly accusing non-farming collie owners of abuse.
Yeah, i'm a dog owner from a dog owning family (bismillah!), i/we have had many breeds, including collies. No farm, though.


I was more setting up the joke in the second part, but if you're not spending time in a park or somewhere it can run almost daily, it will suffer. This is from personal history and friends who breed Border Collies.

The Italian game clearly suits him and it helps when he has quality around him. Still in a more technical game I wonder if he can maintain this good start, assuming Milan sign him. At Real he was seen as an all-action player and not especially noted for his skills. Still his dead ball work is excellent. Knowing Milan if he signs he'll probably play with them for another five years

In terms of winning things I wonder if Milan might have second thoughts. Once he joined Real they promptly stopped winning (I know they won the league eventually) and one can hardly see the Galaxy move as a success.
