Preview: Mexico vs. New Zealand World Cup Qualifying | Playoff Central
Can Mexico hold off New Zealand in the first leg of its two-game playoff to keep a bid to the 2014 World Cup alive? Can Uruguay get a result in Jordan to help ...
A lot of Americans and Central Americans do not like Mexico, because historically the Mexicans considered themselves the kings of CONCACAF, and were responsible in bullying the other teams out of previous qualifications. Perhaps they've learned their lesson last month...
@ Adrian Fag: don't come here with your political bullshit Adrian. We
watch the game for the love of the sport and to for get how crappy the
world can be .. You want to talk politics? find the right forum for you to
bitch and moan about you mediocre existence.
+IOmoon88 I think you don't understand what vilify means. Vilification is making vicious or defamatory statements about a person, or a group of people. Any objective reader would note that Adrian's comment is an argument against a system, not a group of people - which he is entitled to make. I also think you're very confused about freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. At no point have I told you to take your opinion elsewhere, yet you're asking me to do that very thing. As for peaceful assembly - you're still able to contribute your online presence, so that right has not been violated either.As for your comments about contributing to society - it's great that you do that. I donate to charity as often as I can, and before I was engaged in full-time work and full-time study, I always had time for charitable and community organisations. It's sad that you only do it for a letter of recommendation - I do it to benefit humanity. I can't make an ongoing, direct contribution to a country I don't reside in, but the way to exhibit true global citizenship, in the words of Rene Dubos, is to "think globally, act locally."I came here to watch football too, but to see Adrian getting attacked from all directions for a comment that did not vilify, nor deprive anyone of their individual rights, was enough for me to get involved - if you call that self-righteousness, so be it.
+thetillegrakid You are just another fake self righteous prick the likes of Adrian. You come here a vilify us just because we adhere to the topic at hand. You Grandiosely invoke education, social justice and rule of law (in this case moral law). We came here to talk about the sport, and you and Adrian came here to insight chaos; violating our freedom of expression, right to peaceful assembly. It seems to me that you lack the education to respect those individual rights. I call you fake because people like you claim much and do none. I contribute to society, I don't like it but I do it any way; one day a year a volunteer in a soup kitchen, and six months of the year I donate 2 hours every week to interpret for none English speaker in doctors office, the only reason I do it is because I get letter of recommendations which serve me well. I might not like it, but at least I pitch in. I respect my fellow men who disserve it and I have nothing but contempt for fake self righteous asses like you.
+thetillegrakid Greg Lalas invited us users to comment about the playoffs between Mexico and New Zealand. Adrian, however, changed the subject (appealing to worse problems) and thus committed the fallacy, and you defending his comment doesn't change that. I came here to comment and discuss soccer matches and players, not politics.
I'm missing the part where I committed the logical fallacy you mentioned. I stuck completely to the original point (that human rights issues are important), and didn't bring up worse problems to dismiss your argument that they're not.There is no complete agreement on what human rights are, but there is a general consensus. They're available here if you wish to see what this consensus is: https://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/There is no denial that the Mexican economy benefits, but I don't see it any way how that reduces socioeconomic inequality. The rich stand to benefit more from any economic boost, and the poor remain poor. As for rule of law, and an educated population - a change to the economy has no direct effect on these.
+thetillegrakid//fallacydb.com/view/44If you're this concerned about human rights (which people cannot seem to agree what they exactly are), then get out and do something. Besides, isn't the Mexican economy benefited when Mexico gets into the World Cup?
Yeah, Adrian! Human rights are something we shouldn't consider during every part of our day. Sport is far more important than rule of law, an educated population, and social justice. You deserve every homophobic slur that you get for even bringing up something so unimportant.
