In all seriousness, privacy is being eroded from so many directions, if we (and by we I mean almost everyone) don't start fighting against it, we will discover that the War on Privacy is over
Privacy-shmivacy, people care more about the War on Christmas. I guarantee there will be more statements from the current crop of candidates at the debate tonight on the War on Christmas than about the War on Privacy.
I mean, what was Starbucks thinking when they brought out red cups? They're basically spitting in the face of All ChristiansTM.
since almost no-one outside of North America plays Ice-Hockey
Oh come on. Seven of the thirteen Chicago Blackhawks centermen are from Europe: Sweden, Austria, Latvia, Finland, Russia, Czech Republican and whatever the hell the "SVK" are all represented and that's just among the centers.
Do you know that there are professional hockey leagues in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Slovakia, Sweden, Russia, Switzerland, Ukraine and the UK. Ice hockey, for decades, was the #1 sport in Russia (and may still be).
Here is a list of the FIFTY-ONE countries that have national hockey teams
What the fuck, people? We're 27 comments in to a story about "conflict in the workplace" and nobody's mentioned "SJWs" yet. Don't you have any self-respect?
Here, I'll start:
q: How many SJWs does it take to screw in a light bulb? a: 14. One to screw it in and 13 more to tell the bulb to check its privilege.
Oh, field hockey. Why didn't you say so? Like lacrosse without the baskets on the stick,right?
If you walk up to anyone on any continent in the world and ask them what "hockey" is, you think more people would describe real hockey or "field hockey"?
There have always been real "Fight Clubs". They're called "martial arts schools". Precautions are taken so nobody dies, of course, and nobody's expected to fight way outside of their level, but the fighting is real. I've had ribs, nose, a finger and a collarbone broken in the past 30-plus years. The broken nose, by the way, was me trying to execute an elbow strike during my second year and punching myself in my own nose with my fist. The broken collarbone came from a waxwood staff (called a "gun" in Chinese).
Since then, I can probably count the number of hits to the head I've taken on one hand. You've got to protect the meat.
Things like boxing (and hockey) wind up being "prize fights"
Fighting in hockey is nowhere near the level it was at a few decades ago. You don't see the kind of bloodbaths there once were.
Except for a few thugs who often end up being more of a handicap to their team due to penalties, suspensions, etc, (Milan Lucic, I'm talking about you) there aren't nearly as many goons playing hockey any more.
Mississippi is a beautiful state! Mississippi has spacious country living as well as big urbanized cities, if that's what you like. Mississippi has warm kind people.
That all may be true, but it doesn't change that Mississippi is dead last of all states in education, child poverty and health care. And by "dead last", I mean 50th out of 50. The bottom. Of the barrel.
So if you don't mind stupid, poor and sick, Mississippi is for you.
As with all places, there are always pockets of first-rate people (though perhaps not Arizona) and some lovely geography to enjoy. But backwards is backwards.
You will have a hard time selling an environmentally friendly car when its objectively worse than the last ten models still available on the second hand market.
The US CO2 emissions standards haven't changed since 2010.
The problem with this is that there is a universal 'gentleman's agreement' among world and corporate leaders that they never say what is actually on their mind.
Maybe that's because if they said what was really on their minds, there would be rioting in the streets.

Say, anyone know why they call them, "Anonymous Cowards"? I've never understood the reference.

And anyway, Jesus built the pyramids as cooling centers for Middle-Eastern senior citizens.
Sure I have. I've biked across the state.
There's the problem, right there.

Yeah, he mad.
Then why would they live in Mississippi?
In 2004, I nominated my left testicle, which has caused a great deal of jealousy in my pants. A controversy that continues to this day.
Paul Krugman won a Nobel in Economics too.
