Do…..do you think Shrek is Disney…..? He’s definitely not….

Shrek is the biggest icon of Dreamworks, their arch-rival in animation.

“SANDVICH!”

Care to actually provide examples of this claim?

…has a very good safety record, you’re right!

>the Marine Corps’ MV-22 Osprey has a lower mishap rate per 100,000 flight hours than the Harrier, Super Hornet, F-35B, or CH-53E Super Stallion.

Hurricanes and tornadoes are veeeeeeeery different.

That, and you can actually tell you’re suffocating. Since your body can’t detect lack of oxygen, only presence of CO2, most any other gas would be a painless drift to sleep.

I don’t think you’re seeing their perspective. Obviously I’m not condoning any of this, but let me show how the conflict you explain here didn’t really exist:

1940s racists (and some today, of course) saw these undesirables more or less like monkeys. Maybe advanced monkeys. But monkeys all the same. Animals, subhumans.

It’s easy to see how someone doesn’t want to kill all the monkeys in the world, while also not wanting to treat them like people.

Again, this logic is awful, but it’s more consistent than how you portray it.

I’ve seen this in person, I lived within a half mile of it at one point. NOBODY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ACTUAL DOG!!! I thought it was just a generic taxidermy stand-in!

That’s mighty progressive of them, although I feel like I remember the Quakers doing a good bit of progressive stuff. Could be thinking of a different group.

Honestly, of all the reasons to segregate by race, this is probably the least bad.

Yes I’m fucking aware. I was making a point. It’s the name of the team. Some mascots aren’t the same as the team name. Stanford’s team is the Cardinals, as in the color. Their mascot is this horrific looking tree abomination, which represents Palo Alto, the tree on the school logo, and the tree that the city of Palo Alto is named after.

These elements (while not always) can contain a great deal of local or historical symbolism.

First of all, what I’m saying is, do Arsenal players and fans run around pretending to be a building that stores weapons? No? Well Seattle Seahawks players and fans don’t run around pretending to be Seahawks, moron.

Second, it’s called “culture”. I’m not sure you’re familiar with it. It means, “people in different places do different things”, and contrary to your belief, it’s an ok thing! We do things differently. Chill about it. It doesn’t affect you.

You keep saying that and it’s hilariously untrue. Do all Brits wear a top hat and monocle at all times? Do Germans always wear lederhosen?

It’s hilarious how much of a straw man you’re constructing here. I’ve seen more rational interpretations of an opponent from Ben Shapiro.

Yeah, it is, killjoy.

How about we don’t make you name your teams things you don’t like, and we don’t import your boring naming conventions?

Yes I’m aware. Other teams say “soccer club”.

Be less boring

Petty hill to die on: stop giving American soccer teams boring ass European names. LA Football Club? At least call it soccer club, for one, and for two be more creative. What’s the mascot, a club sandwich? Lame. Any elementary schooler could come up with a name a billion times more fun than this creative equivalent of a ream of printer paper.
