City of God is excellent.

The Lives of Others is even better (if we're talking foreign films)

If I had to choose just one film to be my favorite of all time, it would be The Darjeeling Limited.

This is a pretty good video essay about it.

i think you have to compare the most racist groups in a country to the most racist groups in the comapro country, and also compare the average racism levels and also the mean and median racism levels. like USA could be top-heavy with the KKK and just Mississippi in general, but your average American is pretty deathly afraid of being labeled a racist and most people bend over backwards to avoid even something that is not racist but could be construed racist by anyone. however i bet in italy your average giovanni has no problem spouting out some pretty racist things if he was so inclined because it is certainly less taboo over there

this just goes back to the public shaming that KK was talking about.  i bet there are more "racist" people on this blog than you think, but the public shaming bit holds them from sharing their view (the gE police are especially sensitive in this area).  the bending over backwards to not say something doesn't mean that they don't WANT to say it.  this skews the average pretty heavily.

yeah ok but doesn't this all factor into a country's racist rating? if there are "police" everywhere PI'ing people for anything >borderline racist comments, doesn't that help the country's racist rating? i say yes. public shaming is as legit as any other reason

CNS that is not entirely true. Actually it is absolutely not true.

I think a society should largely be judged upon how ostracized and marginalized racists are in their society.

well consider that the KKK lives in off-the-grid shacks in the woods, whereas italy racists have front row tix to see AC Milan

What row of section 12 do you sit in. For the TCU game I want to punch you in the face and then lecture you about the pussification of america.

I could point him out for you MIR, for $150.

How about you do it for free. You sit in 12 too?

I could go as low as $1500 now that I think about it. I don't sit in section 12 but SS is a good friend of mine.

and there it is

when people call pictures "pitchers" i want to physically wound them

Had a dumb (really nice, but I'm talking really dumb) roommate who pronounced it like that, and she also spelled it like that in a note once. You would have flipped your lid mocat!

it should be the first qualifier for natural selection. if you say "pitcher" you do not make the first cut.

Also, "game" is NOT a replacement for "leg." We're talking a two-leg context where there's an aggregate score. "Game" isn't specific enough.


how about "game one" and "game two."  it seems to work in every other american playoff without confusion.  NBA, MLB, NHL, etc. 

Like, for instance, tonight is "game five" of the World Series.  Or, in other words, the fifth of a potentially seven-game series involving the AL and NL champions in American Baseball.

nobody says that you dumbfuck. right now boston is in between their two 2-game home legs, playing the third game of the 2nd leg (1st and only away leg). its very simple!  :curse:

yes 6-6 is pretty much a slam dunk and 7-5 or even 8-4 is not unreasonable, imo
