@darrengrimes Trump would stand a good chance of ending the human race, you fucking tool. After that, your 'balance of trade' and 'investment' arguments are kinda irrelevant.
@BladeoftheS 85% of the Sovereign Grant goes on upkeep of the historic buildings that would be spent anyway, even if we didn't have a Monarchy. 10% goes on payments for staff that would need to have a job even if we had an elected Head of State. The 'pay rise' is for of buildings and staff.
@RobTheVampire@Maquiavellum3@hengest0303@avrilduck@alexbland@BladeoftheS Scotland had a referendum and voted to stay in the union. Occasional newspaper polls don't mean anything because of the sample selection criteria. The Irish Republic have no say in whether Northern Ireland reunify or not - it's not their decision. Is that the best you got?
@ElijWarner824@MV1Ant@elfutboleroUSA @baygoalicardi @maraneIlo They have no such right. Shouting 'semantics' doesn't win you the argument. If they want to call themselves world champions then win a world championship and then do it. You don't become world champions by a series of presumptions and inferences.
@ElijWarner824@PhtevenTweets@MV1Ant@elfutboleroUSA @baygoalicardi @maraneIlo Yes semantics. Playing the 'semantics' card doesn't win you the argument, it reinforces mine. They haven't won a world championship so they don't get to call themselves world champions. Point blank period.
@elfutboleroUSA@_vonrichthofen@ElijWarner824@PhtevenTweets@MV1Ant @baygoalicardi @maraneIlo It doesn't matter. Organise a World Championship and win it and then come back and call yourself World Champions. It is not rocket science. Just don't call yourselves world champions after winning a fucking league.
@elfutboleroUSA@Ann771126@ElijWarner824@PhtevenTweets@MV1Ant @baygoalicardi @maraneIlo That is irrelevant. It is not how World Championships work. FFS, you seem not to understand how you actually get the title of World Champions. It is by winning a World Championship, not a national league.
@elfutboleroUSA@_vonrichthofen@ElijWarner824@PhtevenTweets@MV1Ant @baygoalicardi @maraneIlo No, it isn't. To be world champions you have to win a World Championship. The NBA isn't one. It's like collecting all the football players in the world in England for one league and calling England the World Champions at football. It's bullshit.
@elfutboleroUSA@Ann771126@ElijWarner824@PhtevenTweets@MV1Ant @baygoalicardi @maraneIlo I understand your argument... a team wins the NBA and because the NBA is the best league in the world that the winners of them must be world champions. The only problem is that being the best league in the world is not 'winning' a World Championship. It is a false equivalence.
@elfutboleroUSA@Ann771126@ElijWarner824@PhtevenTweets@MV1Ant @baygoalicardi @maraneIlo You were the one insinuating that Germany was better. I am just taking your point to its logical conclusion. It's real simple - organise a World Cup, play it, win it and come back and say you're World Champions. Until then, stop claiming you won a competition that never happened.
@elfutboleroUSA@Ann771126@ElijWarner824@PhtevenTweets@MV1Ant @baygoalicardi @maraneIlo I am not arguing that they couldn't win such a competition. I am arguing that they haven't won such a competition. Organise one. Win it. Then come back and call yourselves World Champions. Until then, they should stop claiming honours not yet won.
@ElijWarner824@PhtevenTweets@MV1Ant@elfutboleroUSA @baygoalicardi @maraneIlo I am getting tired of explaining it... once again... a World Championship would be a competition of teams, each team made up of players from ONE nationality - like EVERY other World Championship EVER contested in ANY sport. The NBA is NOT such a competition.
