Rants Part Four

rants.JPG Part 4 – Soccer is Real Football

 I love it… people write off the United States as football (soccer) no-ones and they go and stuff the Spanish 2-0 not so long back before they got beaten in a very close final of the Confederation Cup by one of the world’s best teams Brazil... Fantastic!
 
Goes to show you there is a good team here in the states after all and people need to get off their back and start to support them. It is not just a girl’s game, it is not boring, it is not just a kid’s game and it is not sad if you play it!
 
The fact is that true football (soccer) has been around a lot longer than most sports played out here in the United States. In fact you could say that some of these sports are not to dissimilar to soccer and those grass roots from these sports stemmed from soccer (football) somewhere along the line.
 
Guess what?
 
American football was developed from Rugby which in turn was developed from true football or soccer.
 
Even crazier are some of the known locations as to where soccer started… China being one of them many moons ago.
 
Next - Why do people say they are fine, when they obviously are not?
 
Also in reverse of that why do people pretend they are not upset when in fact actually they are?
 
Hey you are not attention seeking… just being honest. It may be more upsetting lying about your feelings. Especially for others!
 
Why do some landlords never do any work on their properties. I have never actually understood this one. If a property gets neglected for too long it gets pulled down because it is unfit for human inhabitation. Thus you lose an income.
 
I mean come on a lot of things are either insured or just an easy cheap fix option than you losing an income. ‘More money than sense’ is the probable the phrase!
 
Slumlords are one of the worlds vile creatures… do you like being categorized as one of these?
 
Look I know that people can often be to blame, but if you put nice people in a terrible dwelling their life perception changes. So a vicious circle starts.
 
In turn, why do people not look after their property? I just don’t get it at all!
 
Now then back to North Korea from an earlier rant… we not so long ago had that ship the Kong Nam sailing around the seas, when was it going to be stopped and searched?
 
For over a week we had been hearing about the ships possible cargo of potential nuclear proliferation materials. So why didn’t the powers that be just stop the bloody thing and stop banging on about it!
 
It could have disappeared, just like the Russian ship that was taken over by these so called Pirates… Pirates?
 
What is going on how come the world this day and age has pirates?
 
Anyhow - America and its allies have been accused of wanting to start a second Korean War… someone should remind North Korea that the first one was never truly finished and that the region has in effect been left in a state of war since 1953.
 
Also if it wasn’t for North Korea and its regime of Communists then there would be no problem right now!
 
By the way a little message to North Korea… Communism is just not fashionable anymore. Even the Chinese have moderated their Communist standards and at least can deal with the world on a more level headed basis. Why can’t your government be as nice and friendly as the Chinese?
 
Can NK not see the benefits of being a nice government?
 
You get all these nice political packages and help for your country when it is needed!
 
I see that the Iran situation is still going through the motions, yet the Authorities that be have taken a more hard line to the situation!
 
Just goes to show you the true nature of the government in Iran. No freedom of speech, no democracy and no real rights!
 
Still though the news seems to have hyped up the situation, and I can see why the finger is being pointed at the West for stoking up a fire, but that is because we are more or less right Iran… maybe not about the nukes, but your people deserve better!
 
Get off your high horse and give your people a bit of freedom, and stop threatening the Jewish people… don’t you see that ideology is always going to be a no-no! You can’t go round threatening to nuke other countries. You wouldn’t like it if Israel said: “Oh by the way Iran is not really Iran and is in effect Persia, so it should be nuked until it decides to change its name back!”
 
Ok maybe I said something a little controversial but what I am saying is, that really why the hell is it that governments can be so dim witted sometimes. Getting along with other nations has far more benefits than being a selfish and radical regime.
 
Look, Iran and North Korea your people have suffered far too long, while you guys in power have a nice home and food, your people get the flack… stop it!
 
I suppose when you look at Iraq and Afghanistan and see what has happened there when the West steps in, you could say that a few cock ups have been made. But when you look at the bigger picture things begin to make sense.
 
We can’t go too much off what the news is saying because the news loves violence and bloodshed. That is what gets ratings, but the people of these countries are getting a bit of a better life. This is not to say that it is without problems, but give it a few years and things hopefully will begin to change.
