Finster Baby

Good morning Gents: Do we want to revive this league?

Firefox is a notorious memory leaker. Based off what your Task Manager is telling me, your leak is in Firefox. I run it at work with no real crazy add-ons, and I occasionally have 700, 800, 900 mb minimum being used. Also set your page file to 12228 mb minimum and 16384 mb maximum. That'll help.

So sounds like the rest of Europe is saying accept by Sunday or get tossed from the Eurozone. What's the likelihood that'll actually happen?

Thank you! Much clearer now!

Can someone dumb this down for a clueless American please?

yes, crash course in general would be awesome.

I'm in, but I sure dont' know what I'm doing.

They probably should, tho what doing that will accomplish is beyond me.

I'll go out on a limb here and say Qatar won't happen. The fact that they're planning on holding it in December of 2022 has the European leagues in a tizzy. It's gonna get changed, or UEFA won't participate. That's my guess.

My guess is UEFA, the US, Canada, and perhaps Mexico actually told Blatter they were leaving FIFA unless he went. Tho the #2 getting busted didn't hurt either.

Well that didn't take very long.... http://www.espnfc.us/fifa-world-cup/story/2476623/fifa-president-sepp-blatter-resigns-amid-corruption-scandal

Well Sepp won. I hope UEFA splits off from FIFA and the US follows them, along with Mexico and Canada.

Seems rather confusing to me.

OMG the site is SLOW!!! And now I can't create a nation because of "maintenance" Boo!

I told myself I wasn't gonna get excited over this movie. Then I saw that trailer. OhBoyOhBoyOhBoy! As Shah said: Take my money.

I used to have a Cuban boss. Instead of beer or liquor, we'd get a box of 5 Cohibas from Havana. Which, being as I live in the US, you otherwise can't get. I miss those days.

So the finals are upon us. It's been loads of fun! Also, I have renewed the league for next season, so you can all fight me for 2nd place again!

As a retired MoD I approve Blade's flag.

You're just jealous. Just wait till us old councilors coup the current ones!

I *STILL* say March should be "The Ides of Finster"

They're so cute when they grow up!

Sure, just like Bush did in 2006, and like Newt did in 1994....but I digress. Good luck with that. Corporations all ready don't pay their fair share, making them pay less in taxes won't change anything. Ok, I could support this - a 18 or 20% VAT instead of income tax could work, plus I despise the IRS as well. However, I suspect people would balk, especially those who say that it would affect lower income more than upper income. I say no, it means everyone pays. Tax it like they do booze and cigarettes and you have a steady revenue stream. I like it. I've been saying this for years. Marriage is a church sacrament. Why the government is in the marriage business is beyond me. It'll never happen. If the SS Fund was properly funded instead of raided we wouldn't have this problem. Since it spawned Common Core I agree. However, there does need to be a national standard. That said, common core isn't it. Thank you for at least being honest and not spouting party lines. Unfortunately, none of that will happen with the current Congress. I saw a meme on facebook today - if Congress has 10% support, then why was 90% of it re-elected? Best one I've seen yet.

Ok Lys, I'm going to ask you the same question I've asked on Facebook and have yet to receive any kind of real answer: I want to know how the Republicans are going to be SO much better than what's in place now. Be specific. Campaign rhetoric isn't allowed.

Lys: You clearly don't remember 1994.

Exactly. US Politics are broken, and have been since long before 2000.
