And my "pal" as you put it has committed to donating plenty already, but that would not suite your narrative so no surprise that you did not come across that fact in your extensive internet research from sunny Australia.

If you had tried half as hard to understand the origins of the the movement as you clearly have to discredit and slander it, you would not be so quick to trivialize the suffering of millions.

I have listened to their radio programs for years, and any time I feel some bias, I would chalk it up to the reporter themselves, not necessarily the whole company. Anyway, I could be wrong but isn't it common knowledge that Alafouzo has a controlling share of the company?

An Open Letter of Support for Colin Kaepernick From American Military Veterans In 1947, former Army officer Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in Major League Baseball. Robinson experienced taunts, epithets, and threats of violence for simply standing up to the status quo of segregation in America. Since 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick engaged in a silent protest to bring attention to the state of emergency facing people of color in America, a chorus of detractors have lined up to denounce his stand, or more accurately his sit. Fans have burned his jersey. A presidential candidate suggested he leave the country. Many have claimed his protest disrespected American veterans. Jackie Robinson isn’t here today to tell us what he would think of Kaepernick’s protest. But he did convey the same sentiment about the national anthem as Kaepernick in his 1972 autobiography, writing, “I cannot stand and sing the anthem. I cannot salute the flag; I know that I am a black man in a white world.” As military veterans, we write to express our support for the tradition of advocacy by athletes that is embodied by Jackie Robinson and carried on by Colin Kaepernick. For generations, American athletes have used their public voice to force our collective attention towards the crises and issues that challenge our national conscience. Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, Tommie Smith, John Carlos, Ariyana Smith, the Minnesota Lynx, the Missouri Tigers football team, and stars across professional sports declaring that #BlackLivesMatter, are all part of a brave tradition of protest by athletes. Far from an anomaly, athletes leading on social change has been the norm in America. The right for those athletes, and all Americans, to protest is one we all pledged to defend with our lives if necessary. Far from disrespecting our troops, there is no finer form of appreciation for our sacrifice than for Americans to enthusiastically exercise their freedom of speech. While we would not all personally choose to protest in a manner identical to Kaepernick, we respect and honor his choice, and whole heartedly join him in stating unequivocally that BLACK LIVES MATTER. The current state of affairs for people of color in America is unsustainable and unacceptable. According to analysis by the Washington Post, black people in America are two and a half times more likely to be shot and killed by police than white Americans. Far too often, people of color are dying at the hands of law enforcement personnel in the streets, our jails, and their homes. Indictments are rare and convictions are essentially nonexistent. This status quo outrages us as men and women who raised our right hands and pledged to defend, with our lives if necessary, a Constitution that proclaims intent to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility,” and “secure the Blessings of Liberty.” Those ideals are simply not being upheld for all Americans. As veterans, we implore all Americans to find your own way to challenge this status quo and advocate for “a more perfect union.” Your method of protest may not be to refrain from the traditions surrounding our national symbols, and it doesn’t have to be. You have the same right as Colin Kaepernick to choose whether and how to advocate, a right we support and served for. However you choose to use your voice, please do so with an understanding that many veterans do not condemn the protest of activists like Jackie Robinson, Colin Kaepernick and everyday Americans seeking justice. Indeed, we see no higher form of patriotism. signed: Eric Baker, United States Army Veteran Bill Barton, United States Air Force Veteran Robert Bateman, United States Army Veteran: Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom Jason Bensley, United States Army Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom Stephen Benson, United States Navy Veteran: Vietnam War Keith Boyea, United States Air Force Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom Xavier Burgos, United States Army Veteran: Operation Enduring Freedom Tony Camerino, United States Air Force Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom Stephanie Driessel, United States Army Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom LeighAnn Dunn, United States Army Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom David Ramiro Duran, United States Army Veteran Robin Eckstein, United States Army Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom Rick Hegdahl, United States Navy Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom Chris Holman, United States Army Veteran Melanie Howie, United States Air Force Veteran Mitchell Howie, United States Air Force Veteran Keith Jeffreys, United States Army Veteran Tara Jones, United States Navy Veteran: Gulf War Era Jason Macon, United States Marine Corps Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom Lamar Mapp, United States Army Veteran: Operation Enduring Freedom Brian McGough, United States Army Veteran: Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom Neal McGough, United States Army Veteran: Operation Enduring Freedom Andrew Nixon, United States Army Veteran: Operation Enduring Freedom Parker Ormsby, United States Army Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom Matt Osborne, United States Army Veteran Jackie Rodgers, United States Army Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom Terron Sims II, United States Army Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom Richard Allen Smith, United States Army Veteran: Operation Enduring Freedom Shannon Smyth, United States Air Force Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom Ryan Sullivan, United States Army Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom Mike Stark, United States Marine Corps Veteran Armondo Telles, United States Marine Corps Veteran Catherine Trombley, United States Air Force Veteran Colm Walker, United Staes Army Veteran: Operation Enduring Freedom Bobby Wise, United States Army Veteran: Operation Iraqi Freedom

That goal Berg put past the Dutch was a real beauty! Top class, just like Gio used to do.

They must be working somewhere, drugs are not free! Especially if the going prices are anything like Australia's...

What is the relation of WW2 and space? Feel free to tell us more once you've seen it Pana.

The IMDB rating is 9.4/10! That's obscene The ending of the scene in that second video is one of my all time faves, "Makes me sick motherfu.cker how far we done fell." "The Wire is an American crime drama television series set and produced in and around Baltimore, Maryland. Created and primarily written by author and former police reporter David Simon, the series was broadcast by the cable network HBO in the United States. The Wire premiered on June 2, 2002, and ended on March 9, 2008, comprising 60 episodes over five seasons. Each season of The Wire introduces a different institution in the city of Baltimore and its relationship to law enforcement, while retaining characters and advancing story lines from previous seasons. In chronological order these institutions are: the illegal drug trade, the seaport system, the city government and bureaucracy, the school system, and the print news media. The large cast consists mainly of actors who are little known for their other roles, as well as numerous real-life Baltimore and Maryland figures in guest and recurring roles. Simon has said that despite its framing as a crime drama, the show is "really about the American city, and about how we live together. It's about how institutions have an effect on individuals. Whether one is a cop, a longshoreman, a drug dealer, a politician, a judge or a lawyer, all are ultimately compromised and must contend with whatever institution to which they are committed." The Wire is lauded for its literary themes, its uncommonly acute exploration of social and political themes, and its realistic portrayal of urban life. Although the show received average ratings throughout its run, and never won any major television awards, it has since come to be regarded by many critics as one of the greatest television dramas of all time." -wikipedia

This is an episode from a pretty interesting series that Vice just started called Black market, hosted by the actor who played Omar in the Wire (if any of you have not seen the Wire check it out! One of the best crime dramas ever, the writing was so real, law enforcement actually had the network change their scripts, must watch). Black Market Season 1, Episode 3 – “Iron Pipeline” Gunrunners move weapons from American states with loose laws to states with stricter ones, in a neverending flow that law enforcement can’t seem to stop.

Rumours that he is considering stepping down as Prez, has anyone read the whole of this prosecutors recommendation? Or have a link to the document? From what I understand the prosecutor's beef is that Marinaki did not honor the conditions that were imposed on him from the initial allegations. Also the charge on him for the Bakery fire was dropped.

I would voice my support for any persons that I feel is being denied a fair shake.

*LEA (Law enforcement agencies) is what I meant above not LAE.

Well, the issue is settled then! We should tell everyone protesting to go home, ThrylosG7 has spoken. Using the black on black violence as a justification for their treatment by LAE is one of the worst cop outs I can think of. I really fail to see why the former makes the latter a non issue for some. By that sort of "logic" terrorism should be a non issue as well for Americans. Terrorists are responsible for probably less than 3% of american homicides, but Islamophobia an hating Muslims is the new denim. About whites being shot more by police than visible minorities, I would love to see your source on that one TG7.

You're right about the spelling Akriti.

In all seriousness, this is another good one I have seen that you may or may not enjoy aek66 about the beginnings of the clan, did you know their name has a Greek origin?

Yup, photographer captured this moment quite nicely.

Good stuff Pana, would you go for graduate studies after your undergrad or are you thinking something different post college?

Cool, aviation is pretty awesome, a friend of mine has a pilot's license for small size aircraft, another who worked for a company that serviced inbound and outbound private jets at the airport, and I work personally with a few airlines from time to time it's a great field to be in. What are you pursuing in college?

@Pana97 are you an aviation enthusiast? Have done any flying or plan to take courses?

Silence or inaction implies or equates to approval. Bravo to the mayor. Do the right thing. Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson Launches #MakeItAwkward Campaign To Challenge Racism “I’ve heard casual racism throughout my life and it’s appalling,” Iveson told the Edmonton Journal. “We have to stop. We have to have an awkward conversation around the dinner table, in the locker room, wherever it’s happening.” The sentiment inspired Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson and sparked the #MakeItAwkward campaign which is meant to encourage bystanders to do something, rather than stay silent when they witness racism, sexism, homophobia or any kind of bigotry. "It's time to stand up and say something. And you don't have to get all up in someone's face, you just have to not be afraid," the mayor said in the video. "It's time to make it awkward. link

He is not exactly a DM mid, but Samari has improved quite a bit at Benfica, and will be very important to this NT squad. It's too bad Maniati as not found himself a team this summer, because I don't see at this point what good DM option we have to pair Samari. Kourbeli I have always heard great things about but have not seen him play at all. Even though towards the end of his career everyone (including myself) bashed the crap out of him, Katsourani has left a big hole in that midfield.

If Cardozo gets any kind of decent service he should be terrorising every keeper in the league.

Feel free to use this thread to post links to documentary films, discuss films or anything you think might be relevant or interesting. The first documentary that really left an impression on me was Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine. But my all time favourite and the best that I have seen so far in my opinion was the doc film The Corporation, really was eye opening to me at the time. If any fans of the genre have never seen it, I highly recommend you do so. Anyone have a film or two they would care to share? @1789 spoke about the film Clinton Cash, really was a stomach turner and quite macabre. THE CORPORATION is a Canadian documentary film written by Joel Bakan, and directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott. The documentary examines the modern-day corporation, considering its legal status as a class of person and evaluating its behavior towards society and the world at large as a psychiatrist might evaluate an ordinary person. This is explored through specific examples. Bakan wrote the book, The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power, during the filming of the documentary. imdb
