chromatic: Amazing show! Reading those lines, I remember Rust in his twisted smart mind saying them.Marty had some great ones too.

"Twisted Smart mind" - Nailed it. Matthew McConaughey's Cohle's such an enigma. Woody Harrelson's Marty wasn't bad either. Both characters kept the show riveting and entertaining. Gotta say both of these guys are locked for the prestigious Emmy awards later this September. It's inevitable. Thank you HBO.

I won't comment until Boko haram comments

Stop promoting the terrorism sect. This was exactly what your government warned y'all about.

1stUnique: Hi Niaralanders, pls how do I download video from youtube that has more than one subtitled because when downloading, its d one with chinese it download and I will prefer d english to d chinese am seeing. Example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX806ovNj4g

If you're using android with an OS of 4.0 and above, than download Tubemate apk from Google search engine. It comes with an inbuilt subtitle creator, with an option of English, French and Chinese subtitles. Tick the English option box and after activating it, then proceed with your downloads. All your videos would be fully English subtitled from there henceforth.

You guys should read up on your histories and stop making unfounded claims. Thor is not even the supreme god of the Vikings, that accolade goes to Odin the Scandinavian God of thunder, a direct equivalent to the famed Greek's Zeus. Odin had two sons: Thor and Loki.
Thor without the iconic hammer is almost insignificant but very powerful whenever he wields the hammer of Thor (Mjolnir). Loki is the god of mischief and deception.

Marvel's screen and comic interpretation of Thor and Loki are inaccurate at best. The real mythologies of the Norse gods are more fantastic and complicated than what you see on TV or read in the comics.

Yoruba's sango mythology have been around for the whole of 800 years give or take, while the Viking's mythology have been around for more than 2000 years. Vikings are one of the earlier civilizations known to man and arguably the oldest in Europe.

Marvel doesn't need to steal any ideal from the Yoruba's concept cuz here is more than enough from the source - Norse Mythology - to give them going for many years to come.

And BTW, Odin is way stronger than Sango, while Thor and Sango might be equal in strength. Loki is smarter than both.

Anybody who actually believes that this life is nothing but a long never ending dream must be high on something. The mere ideal of it sounds like something out of Walt Disney channel.

It's funny how Islam and Christianity are constantly feuding on who's got the better imaginary friend. SMH
for religion.

Islam conception of making heaven is better, though. All one is required to do is pretty simple but require a lot of heart: strap some C4 on your stomach or back, hold the trigger or button in your pocket, then proceed into a large gathering of non-Muslims(infidels) preferably Christians and atheists (a few Jews would be an added bonus) then shout "Allah Akbar" and press the button... 72 virgins, ganja, Heineken and paradise here I come!

tuffgongjo: .I can still remember Rick Ross called Africa a country #ignorance

Waoh!! That's sad. Ordinary, I would call the above an exaggeration but I know better. The Yanks display that level of ignorance all the time.

GatJokez: This kind of survey doesn't tell us much. What background did these people have, what is their educational level, etc. This sounds like a very biased survey. I lived in Italy and saw that many Italians didn't know squat either. They only care about what happens within their borders.

The survey was random and unexpected. Basically they pick teenagers of differing nationalities off the street, put them together in a room but in different cubicles, give them a map and told them what to do. It was fun and the participants were more than willing to participate BTW. On each occasion, the Yanks fail every time.

kobonaire: number 9 in the world is still very respectable. Where is India, China or even 9ja on that list?

Did you missed the part where I indicated that the survey was for developed countries alone?

kobonaire: You can come up with a lot of valid arguments about how 'dumb' Americans are but at the end of the day they are the most sought after country for immigration and the seat of innovation and knowledge in engineering, information technology, science, medicine ... you name it.

^^^
Which only serves to further fuel their arrogance and disdain for the rest of the world. Only in America that a sporting event played between the 50 states of United States and Puerto Rico can be called a 'world series'. Only in America that a foreign multinational company doesn't 'own' her American subsidiary.

Americans have a habit of monopolizing everything and forcing their culture and influence on the rest of the world. You think America give a crap that you're defending it so actively and selflessly? Nope. I'm willing to stake my car that the average Yank doesn't even know that Nigeria is a name of a country in Africa.

Sometime ago, a Yank was invited by a South African Company to give a speech at a seminar in Durban. About to board a plane she tweeted in a typical american manner - "Travelling to Africa, so excited, hope I won't contact HIV... Lolz... kidding"

Such ignorance and sheer insensitivity can only be associated with Americans. They think the world resolves around them thus they can get away with anything. On seeing the foolish tweet, the company promptly rescinded the invitation and sent the ignorant Yank where she came from in disgrace.

Many stereotypes are false and some downright ridiculous, but the one about AMERICANS being bunch of fat ignorant twats couldn't be more accurate, IMHO.

kobonaire: so what you are saying is that based on this survey of just 4 people (and that too only 1 yank) you have drawn judgement on a country of 300 million people? That's a classic definition of àss-clown reasoning my friend. I'm sure you are capable of more logic than that?

In another survey conducted to see how the secondary education of developed countries ranked against each other, the results:

1. SWEDEN
2. NORWAY
3. DENMARK
4. SWITZERLAND
5. UNITED KINGDOM
6. FRANCE
7. CANADA
8. GERMANY
9. THE UNITED STATES
10. ITALY

You can look this up on Google if you want, there are differing results all over the place, but one thing is constant though: U.S.A is never among the top 8.

Americans hardly give a crap about anything that ain't american. Even in foreign countries, they'd rather enroll in American owned universities than the more equipped and renowned UN-American ones.

An average yank would tell you that 'Mexican' is a language and Portugal is in South America. Americans don't care for movies and TV series that ain't american and would rather copy the originals from other countries and modified them for the american audience than watch the reruns on cables like the rest of the world, etcetera.

I'm not here to sling mud on the Yanks, not at all, but sometimes truth needs to be said.

Chrisx1x: tanks for sparing some of ur time and energy to reply.it was really educative

No worries.

kobonaire: how does that information help them tell me? Do you read up the news about Chad or Niger republic?? No, and so the same way the average yanks don't give a two about the countries you mentioned.

A survey was conducted in Sweden where A Brit, a Yank, and a Swede were each given a map and told to pin-point the location of State of Philadelphia on the U.S map, the Brit was able to locate and mark the exact spot, the Swede did the same, but the yank had no clue and marked California Instead.

An average Yank has no clue, mate and what's more... they are proud of it.

Actually Psychokinesis depends on the chemical composition of the brain and the pituitary gland. Some people are born with the 'gift' of clairvoyance which is basically the brain fluids or elongated pituitary gland working over time, while some developed the gift as a result of a malignant tumour growing in their brains.

Telekinesis hasn't been proven or documented by science which invariably makes it a myth, but the possibilities associated with the phenomenon remains an exciting prospect.

xp17: sir, this is not quarter final .

He was saying that there's a strong probability that both Nigeria and Algeria might win their respective much favored opponents and square off against each other at the round of 8, capish?

Go Oranje, we South Africans are solidly behind you. Teach those taco munching boys how to play soccer.

Chrisx1x: Frm what i just read,it seems there is a difference btw football and soccer,pls sb help me out

Actually what the yanks called football is a much modified game of rugby that was imported to the american continent from England back in the day (19 century).

Soccer is a term the yanks 'borrowed' from the English FA's As'soc'iation to describe the sports you play only with your legs cuz the original term 'football' had already been taken by their own version of rugby.

Here in South Africa, we tend to call it soccer as well for the same reasons more or less. The Springboks (our national Rugby team) are very good and have made the game of Rugby so popular that citizens often refer to it as simply football.

milehigh06: and define a true American?

Simple. An Individual that is proudly ignorant. An average American wouldn't be able to locate South Africa or Nigeria on the world map even if their lives depend on it.

shymexx: Spot on Ann Coulter.

Yanks are mostly ignorant. What do you expect from people who play world series and world championships by themselves? - isn't that lunacy?

NBA champions = world champions to yanks.
NFL superbowl champions = world champions to yanks.
MLB champions = world champions to yanks. etc

^^^I still don't know how you can claim "world champions" when all the teams competing are within the same country...psychotic people. So I'm not surprised some of them are mad at football, to be honest.

She's a true American. Yanks are generally ignorant and proud of it.

dopeJemi: Brother's ke same way cooper looks entirely different in the pic I uploaded

Let's just agree to disagree

The strong resemblance between Forlan and Cooper is very distinct, while Wilson's crocked nose foiled any resemblance that might have been. Take a look at the pics again.

dopeJemi: That's a big fat lie, forlan and owen have similar nose structure, same blonde hair, same shape of head, what else

Hair color is overrated. Let the pics tell the story.

From the pics above, Forlan and Cooper could be brothers, while Wilson looked entirely different.

dopeJemi: Van persie and diego forlan

Nah!

This is who forlan looks like

Couldn't be more wrong. Cooper and Forlan possess the same kind of chin and cheek bones. The resemblance is spot on.

Van Persie and Affleck is also spot on. Affleck had always reminded me of Van Persie long before this article came into fruition.

The title “Christ,” or more accurately “Christos,” is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew word “Messiah.” And in Greek, the first letter in the word “Christos” is “X” (pronounced “chi” with a “k” sound). It was in Europe during the 1500s that Christians began to use “X” to refer to “Christ” in the word “Christmas.”

Nairalandisdead: Arsenal were the better team!

The game of Football is all about who out scores the other, rather than who out plays the other.

If there is god, then he must be the most racist and biased being ever in existence.

When you read the bible, you will get to understand why I said the above.
