I rest my case...Vladno1 the epitome of a non-football-playing, always-picked-last probable math genius.
Dude. It's ok. You didn't make the varsity team. How old are you? Once you're out of college, and probably for a very large damn majority of people, once you're in college, none of that stuff matters. Relax. You're a decent guy. A bit too ...[text shortened]... dges, fit more neatly into that hole. Be unique. Truly unique. Be an individual.

You don't have to be Mother Teresa to be charitable and you can live comfortably and with a little luxury and still do your bit for good causes.
Living in a little luxury and sincerely objecting to the money being spent on the World Cup aren't mutually exclusive. There is nothing hypocritical about it.

And to Vladimir No1: your comments are refreshing and your indignation justified.
Originally posted by VargIt's true it's subjective but you really can't compare a second hand car as you put to the world cup, c'mon!!!

Originally posted by VargIt's worse. Vlad considers those that appreciate football and go to stadiums to be mere barbarians rejoicing with the modern day gladiators. It's undignified for a person of Vlad's stature.

How much money does it cost to stage the world cup!!! Shouldn't that money be put to more humanitarian use, starvation in Africa for example or trying to address the mess we made in Iraq or any other humanitarian need you can think of, rather than spending the money on the world cup, its pathetic!!
EDIT: BS Vlad. You're using emotional blackmail just to justify your contempt of something. You could apply your argument to just about everything we do in western civilisation, and your attitude is full of hypocrisy and BS. You sit in front of a PC, burning electricity, using appliances that are full of lead, cynanides and plastics that aren't biodegradeable. You even admit to having a car, albeit a second hand one. And just because you have read a few books with idealistic topics, you think you can pour scorn on people, whom have done no worse than yourself. How much improvement in the third world could be made, if only you made a few small changes and cut backs yourself?
You are beyond belief. Your thread smacks of nothing other than self flagellation.
If you are so concerned about the effects of our selfish society on the deprived souls of the world, get out there, and I mean out there as in Africa, and go and do your bit, otherwise STFU.
