My pop culture theory of international relations is the Ric Flair Theory. "If you want to be the man, you got to beat the man!" If a nation wants to be a regional or global power, they must beat the current regional or global power.

I want to see some of your favourite final shots in film history.

My take. When all of our professional journals unpublished articles and book reviews instead of inviting thoughtful counterpoints, the incentive to publish or review for them dropped. The professional discourse tumbled. Thus, you get garbage articles like that.

Post your favourite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

I agree and go a little further on the writing. Writing forces you to make decisions in your thinking. Forces you to decide between competing ideas in your mind.

Age verification. I’ve sat in the smoking section of an airplane.

I’d like to see this on parents at youth sports events.

That’s gold Jerry. Gold.

I’m a huge fan of punts Loving this game

You non-sports fans have to understand that for people who are really into pro football, today is basically their Super Bowl

Junior Tennis Tournament First Match: 7:30 AM Second Match 6 PM

At some point other nations need to be competitive with USA n Canada. This hockey is, not at all good.

When “The Mall” opened on Ramstein circa 2010, there were 45-60 minute waits to be seated at the Macaroni Grill
