We can argue a lot of things in here, but to try and argue that soccer is a physical contact sport like football is insane.

It is a physical contact sport. Get over it.

Ofcourse it has the reputation of divers. I get that. But american footballers wear giant pads. Kinda evens itself out in my opinion. If you were to say Rugby is more macho than football, I'd agree with you.

In terms of physicality, rugby> football> hockey> basketball> soccer> baseball

Actually hockey and football might even need to be flip flopped.

Facepalm

I'm not even gonna argue with a guy who thinks a non-contact sport is more physical than a contact sport.

You're right. Maybe I should switch baseball and soccer too.

Riight.

Quit trolling Luckie.

Eh you know you like it Wink

Plus I'm not trolling! The title of this thread is misleading! (To Muricans)Dodgy
I got all excited about Football even in the middle of off season. Not cool.

In response to your post.. umm.. I'm pretty sure whomever put that music with videos of guys trippin/getting kicked in the head was doing it as a parody.

Here's a better one than yours. Didnt even turn my stomach.But mind you I found it WHILE LOOKING FOR REAL FOOTBALL. :angry: Can someone explain to me why they're named the same thing? Angry

Also: wtf is Rugby?!


You're all banned.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
