  1. So what, we are talking about the soccer teams which are governed by the US Soccer Federation. Other national teams have nothing to do with them.
  2. This is about national teams, not pro leagues. Are you saying the men's pro leagues pay national team members for the internationals they play and the revenues from those games go back to the pro leagues?
  3. This is about national teams and how their players are paid. The women's team generates more revenue than the men's team. So the women have to share so the men can make more than them. That's fucked up logic for sure.
  4. More people watch the women's national team, that's why they bring in more revenue.
  5. The women are World and Olympic Champions.
  6. The big reason always given for paying women less is that men bring in more revenue. The US women's team generates more revenue for the USSF than the men and should be paid accordingly. Tennis is already doing this. Teams having to release players for National Team duties is a fact of life in soccer world wide.
  7. Not whiners US women's soccer team generates more revenue than men's team. Canadian women are consistently ranked in the top five, the men qualified for one world cup back in 86.
  8. Making friends in Afghanistan. US troops sneak out of Bagram in the middle of the night without notifying the locals.
  9. Interesting, as long as volume is not a factor it could be quite useful.
  10. Putin's old man might have said that at some time but he died a week before Putin was appointed PM.
  11. Couple of things about liquid hydrogen. !: Its boiling point is -252C. 2: While its energy density by weight is a bit higher than petroleum fuels, its density by volume is 1/4 that of petroleum fuels. So, while it wouldn't require any more weight of fuel to go the same distance, it would require tanks four times the size.
  12. It ain't nothing, it's less than 20% of BC forest and 18% of the harvestable land base. 85% is a meaningless number.
  13. 85% of what? 85% of nothing is still nothing.
  14. That's not the impression I got but whatever. I'm not one of your followers. If you quote me, I will probably respond.
  15. Oh, I didn't realize you quoted people and didn't expect them to reply.
  16. My first reply wasn't to you anyway so as you say, whoop dee doo.
  17. I was referring to things like slavery, colonialism, religious persecution, over a 1000 years of continuous European warfare, much of it rooted in religion, the two most destructive wars in human history, Nazism, Soviet Communism. There is a long list that is neither enlightened or tolerant.
  18. I don't know why so many Canadians think they can save the world by making themselves poorer and other countries richer. This problem has to be solved at the consumer end.
  19. There have been a lot of shitty examples of western culture identity that weren't enlightened at all.
  20. It’s true though whether you like it or not. Didn’t know you love coal like you love your dog. Interesting.
  21. You highlighted it yourself "subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law" the Charter says so itself. There was no Charter or Constitution at the time of the FLQ crisis.
  22. Yet they don't violate the Charter, that is why no challenges have stood up. What people think their rights are and what the Charter actually says they are can differ substantially.
  23. The problem is always the fuel, even with electric. The environmental impact of things like lithium mining on areas like the Atacama region of Chile are substantial.
