dr_con Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I like the rant beginning with 'who needs war.' Reminded of an insightful quipo from a few years ago on this forum where I believe Bren said: 'I honestly believe that part of the problem with the US is they never took soccer to heart!' Although it is 'amusing' I think there may be a bit of truth to that: Our tribal rituals are often too well staged, far fewer hooligans, but it keeps the politics out and keeps many a bit stupid;-) Juris Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
