As a soccer player, I approve this message.
I once tried sprinting up the wing with the ball and when I went for a shot, The defender purposefully stepped on my planted foot mid kick. I fell down immediately and everyone was like "it isnt that serious get up" but after the game 3 of my toes were bleeding and my toe nail was mangled to all hell.

Alcohol is the devil itself.
Smoking is the worst and most stupid & useless vice in the world.
Today's NFL is quite boring... the same goes to today's association football... and F1...
No Cellphone is worth more than $10,000 pesos (around 500 American Dolars, here in Mexico) no matter how advanced it is... in fact, no Cellphone should be more expensive than really important goods like a washing machine, a refrigerator, a TV, a computer, a stove, etc.
Facebook should cease to exist.
Hashtags are stupid.
I'm a mexican and I don't like many of the traditions we are all known for around the globe. In fact, I hate many of our typical dishes and, above all, I hate tequila.

On the whole, dogs are better than people because they are sincere. If there's a friendly dog at a social event, I would rather interact with it than anyone there.
Social pretense and propriety is unsettling. Rigid religious rituals are creepy. I can't be friends with someone who isn't "real" with me.
Morning people and extroverts monopolize society, forcing night owls and introverts to defy their nature and harm their own well-being to get by.
In music, the human voice is a bit like an accordion; great with a talented artist, but it gets unbearable after a while. The endless barrage of vocals front-and-center in what's played on the radio is maddening.
Life is too short to work 40 hours a week, unless you love what you do.
Television and movies are too passive of an activity. I don't watch pretty much any of the things everyone talks about.
The slowest manual transmission car is ultimately more rewarding to drive than the sportiest automatic transmission car.
Sooner or later Nintendo will be vindicated as the warden of console gaming. The Wii U is a life raft from the ills of gaming today.

The car sounds in GT5 and 6 are not as bad as people make it out to be.
I know this is a pretty unpopular opinion. (Take note I said "opinion") I am not saying they are "great" and yes I do agree some don't sound so good. (my Veyron being one of them) However, I never thought the sounds in those games was all that bad like some seem to think and I don't think it is a "huge priority" to fix them either. I mean if they do fix them, that's fine with me, but it doesn't really matter to me if they do.

I always didn't like nuketown on cod black ops 1. Still to this day i don't like it when i sit down and play on that map.
What makes the death of a dog tragic in a case like you're talking about is how more often than not, humans are responsible for the circumstances that made it act violently, usually out of negligence.
I don't buy the obligation that humans deserve the greatest consideration of worth. You wouldn't want to be placed in a situation where I have to choose between your life or my dog's life.
Overall, humankind doesn't necessarily earn higher respect, and not just because of terrible things we do. We're also just animals, and we're all on this big rock together.Blah blah blame humans for every **** dog does. UGH UGH. I hate that argument! I never said that humans are worthier! But it's annoying when a dog does **** not because of human action but because of its own need. Also I see no reason why dogs bark at me all the time.What makes the death of a dog tragic in a case like you're talking about is how more often than not, humans are responsible for the circumstances that made it act violently, usually out of negligence.

Never I said I dislike them. Some dogs are just crazy while others are calm and bark when there is a reason.

How old are you?
I could think of several, probably. Though @Blood Eagle already covered it.
Eh, they're an organizational method, like tags, but with a clear signifier that means they can be placed near other text and the reader should know what their function is. I think the main problem are the people that say hashtag. It's like saying "LOL".
Outrageous! There's tons of good food here in Toronto, but Mexican is easily one of my favourites.
I've nothing to really add about the extrovert/introvert bit, but I'm pretty sure the "morning person" thing has to do with our basic physiology.
I just hate that every time I say "maybe dog is guilty" there is a horde of social justice fighters and crazy animalists protecting them and calling me stupid and evil. Many of them really never had problems with dogs. In imaginary but possible situations they would probably choose rageful dog that could easily kill them than let's say a 5 year old child that barely knows it's existance.
@Neddo -- I never said dogs couldn't be guilty, but in the western civilized world there are relatively few circumstances in which a human isn't ultimately responsible for the dog's actions. People breed them, abandon them, abuse them, neglect to socialize them properly, disrespect their personal space, don't understand their body language conveying their fear or discomfort, etc. Dogs are part of the fabric of society by our will, and formed by how we raise them. In some third world country with a feral dog problem, then yeah, those dogs act on their own.
Dogs aren't something to just feed and keep around the house like a goldfish. They are very socially intelligent and require boundaries. Wolves in the wild are reared by their elders and taught canine manners. If a dog owner doesn't fulfill the role of a guardian, a dog's unchecked behavior is arguably wilder than a wild animal. That includes barking at you for no apparent reason.
My bad for misinterpreting you on the worthiness bit. If humans and dogs are equal in worth, then why isn't killing a "rageful" dog wrong? And why couldn't the death of a dog in self-defense be tragic for the dog? To save a life is more understandable, but not every attack is kill-or-be-killed.

Some sources suggest otherwise, that there is more than one "chronotype".

If my server is bad they don't get a tip, I shouldn't be required to pay them anything additional if they aren't doing their job. And really, it's pretty easy to be a good server, make sure my drink is refilled, inform me if there are going to be any delays with my food, and bring me my bill in a timely manner. If you do those things I'll instantly give you 15%, if you're outstanding I'll give 20%.
The pizza guy though, he's the real hero and always gets tipped well.
Some racing is, but I don't think autocross is as demanding on the body as say football, hockey, etc. NASCAR, F1, WRC, etc I think are probably way more demanding then some people give it credit for.
Only if you misuse it, like anything.
Why? It's a great platform to stay in contact with lots of people and if you want to plan something with them Facebook makes it a breeze. It's also a great way to share pictures, I know my grandma wouldn't see most pictures of my wife and I if it wasn't for Facebook since I don't get to see her all that often.

I would have to partially agree. I know from experience that doing a day of autocross will drain you just about as much as a game of baseball. Baseball is a little more exhausting depending on the position played. Outfield will not tire you out as much as being a catcher which is the position I play.

I disagree if they are grandparents, parents or siblings.
But if they are cousins, it really doesn't have too much importance. I do despise some of my cousins.
It is kinda stupid to be expected to owe people something, when they have given nothing to you, and by that I mean non-immediate family you don't see much.
Completely disagree with you there. Oasis and Blur are definitely better than Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez. Red Hot Chili Peppers over the TwentyOneGoofs. The only current, American band I like is The Black Keys, but I like less than 10 of their songs. A few current British bands I like too.

The 90's had Limp Bizkit. Your argument is invalid.

The Last of Us is a boring, slow paced and overhyped 6/10 that gets plaudits for a story that would get routinely ignored if it appeared in a day time TV movie (which it basically is). Naughty Dog in general get a pass for a lot of the stuff they make, and even though I love the Uncharted series, people vastly over-rate the gameplay elements. The Order 1886 had much better interesting shooting mechanics than any ND game.
Similarly, Speed Racer in terms of movies is incredibly under-rated. It genuinely baffles me why the film is panned so much, I find it a fantastic, trippy story that tells a racing tale a lot better than anything else not based off a true story or true event. A bit childish at times but very fun none the less.
The Fast and Furious franchise was never great and the closest it got to that tag were Tokyo Drift and Fast 5. They've all aged like milk and when you remove the nostalgia goggles, the first 2 films are cringe worthy as hell.
