It's me cat lad!!

Ehh, that's happened to me a number of times when I was a wee lad and my eyesight is... oh wait, I have poor eyesight.

Wow *quality ... not at all intimidating [the lads seemed impressed]

Player in red goes down injured without a foul, ref stops the game to check on him. Game is resumed with a drop-ball for the opposing team (white), who are then expected to return the ball to red team. Forward in white didn't pay attention, grabs the ball and scores.

Regular goal, but incredibly cheap. Happens every once in a while and normal procedure is to concede a goal in return, to even out the score. That, too, was screwed up by the lads in white.

I don't get it, Someone want to explain this one a little further - Thanx.
First the red shirt, runs into the white shirt and plays fake injury - then the white shirt scores a goal and the red shirts get mad at him.

I agree with both of you guys on this.

While it might seem frivolous and somewhat patronizing to have him score from the 1 yard line, it did give the young lad a chance to dedicate his very first Touch Down to his father. In the end, whether or not it seems dumb to us looking in from the outside, this might have been very meaningful to the player involved.

it may be kind, but still, intentionally switching a quarterback out just so that he can get a touchdown because of a recent death in the family seems just a tad bit unnecessary and frivolous
your dad's dead..but hey, you got a touchdown...Life is even now right?

right?

right?

I think it was running back, and I know nothing about football but don't they swap them out for different plays?
regardless, giving the guy a moment to feel soomething other than his loss is pretty classy IMO.

Imma print your comment and hang it next to my desk for a few days. Well done lad! Very balanced view indeed!

yeah, where's the left wing fringe that wants to take away rights from people?
Left wing fringe = vegans, PETA fanatics who want to give equal rights to pets, and ultra hippies who really do want to live in a bona fide commune.
If I were to guess, The right wing thinks the left wing fringe are mustache twirling villians actively conspiring to bring down america from within. (you know, anyone who doesn't wear a US flag lapel pin) Which is fine, but you need to prove that shit instead of just put baseless accusations out.
calling someone a communist/socialist is a meaningless fear-mongering distraction. if you don't have proof, you've got nothing. And proof isn't "I heard it on fox news"
left wing fringe are stupid and fanatical, but they tend not to be violence-prone or take away rights.

I can't believe that the objective journalists over at MS-DNC would stump for Obama!

But then, I couldn't believe a lad raised by silver-spoon marxists in Indonesia during his formative years wouldn't share American values.

Also what gun is he carrying, that thing ain't to be fucked with, looks like a FAMAS.
It's an L85A2, standard issue in the British Armed Forces.
Regarding the video, I would have kept leaning on the fence just to see what that clockwork twat would have done next.


Dinnae forget the wee lad who points out "it's like a knife on the end"

Yeah.. those boobs are too sexualized... chicks should just relax and whip 'em out for the lads.. I mean, whip em out because it's empowering.. or something. Boobs.

Thanks for voicing my exact sentiments and sharing some of your experiences.

I know concerned parents such as ourselves are probably more likely to have well-adjusted kids, but I still wish there could be some way to really shield their brains from being deformed by all the poison that surrounds them.

I worry often and a lot about how I can possibly keep my sons from being perverted by this society.


Ditto. I think back to me growing up and the sort of soft introduction to adult material. First you'd see topless women in National Geographics, then maybe some 'lad's mags' in the store, nothing naked, just bikini stuff... then you might get hold of a Playboy and see naked women. And back then they were pretty much natural women too (sure, not 'average', but at least not silicon and botox plumped versions).

Then you might get to see some actual porn mags at your 'rough' friend's place...

These days: "Go on web, look up sex in google image search and get inundated with hard, filthy sex"

Yeah, quite concerned. Doing our best to shield our kids from it as much as possible. Plenty of talk about what sex is (we have 3 boys and a girl all under 9), and that side of things (my wife is a midwife, so it kind of comes up a lot), but shielding as much as possible from not just sex on the internet, but also what passes for mainstream music videos these days (I mean, fucking Katy Perry... FUCK).

I'm with you lucky. I have no problem with sex... no problem with masturbation, no problem with porn in and of itself (just what 90% of it has become)... but how engrained it's become and how central and how much it's pushing into the lives of younger and younger kids.

Yeah, it's not good :

Context matters.
Calling a grown woman "girl" at the workplace is probably out of line. Calling a few racist, drunk hipsters "girls" seems rather appropriate. If you are immature enough to shout racist remarks at strangers, you are immature enough to be justifiably called "girl". Is there such a thing as a mature hipster? I'm inclined to say no.
I voted for the video because I enjoyed it but your trolling makes me want to vote against. Worse still, you've made me agree with @Yogi.
As for knowing Sifters and their personalities, try this... As you read the responses attacking your statements, you're dismissing them as the opinions of sexist men (boys?), the products of a blatantly sexist world. You might also be thinking that if you've done or said anything wrong, it's because you're damaged from decades of sexism and thus your mistakes are our fault anyway.
How'd I do?


I'd upvote this twice if I could.

I'm guessing that 70 or 80% of my posts on the sift include the words "Context matters". For the record, my wife, who is an awesome, strong, independent woman who is one of the most senior people in her company, refers to herself and her friends as the "girls"*. @bareboards2, if you told her that she's "undercutting herself", she would laugh and tell you she does not need you to fight her battles for her. It's just a colloquialism.

In a totally different context, she will often refer to a young person who does something stupid as a "silly boy/girl". It's not sexist, it's meant as a remark on their maturity. The term perfectly describes these stupid women.

Even racism has context. Ask Reginald D Hunter. Calling someone a "drunk paddy bastard" is a racist slur against the Irish (not that anyone ever seems to care), but from the context here, it's clear it's meant affectionately.

Again, context.

* oh and me and my friends are "you and the boys/lads/muppets" depending on how much trouble I'm in.
