My FIL has lived there since the 50s, vadtoy went to HS there and spent a huge part of her life in the city. It's an odd place, but I've grown to appreciate it and I'm absolutely gutted to see the news today. I will be flying there next week, but with a far heavier heart than normal.

I put a short version of this in the drug testing thread, but thought it's definitely worth having a real discussion about. The entire concept around safety nets, personal responsibility, social benefits, etc ... it has to be anchored in something: "What is the lowest point a fellow human in our...

India defeated Pakistan in the Cricket World Cup today ... estimates vary from 500,000 to 1,000,000,000 as to the size of the global audience. That's absolutely mind boggling. The incredible popularity of cricket (and only cricket) in the sub-continent is just insane.

Has anyone else read this yet, now that it's been out in English for a year or so? Haven't seen discussion of it, which I figured it probably deserved.

Russia's ethnically Rus majority is being whipped into a frenzy by far right nationalists the past few years - it exploded over the weekend much as it did in 2010 with a serious of race riots as Russians went and destroyed a bunch of markets where immigrants from the Caucasus / "Stans" work...

I'm sorry. Nobody deserves this. Wake is an excellent school with good, loyal fans and a proud history - it definitely deserves better. At first it might have been a bit funny in an "omg check out that car wreck" kind of way... but it's far past that. Our league is better when you are good...
