All of the questions you pose here are answered by evolution. People often think evolution means getting better when in fact it just means change. When you consider that most of the animal species that ever lived are now extinct it shows it's not about improvement as we understand it and most of the time (if not all of the time) it leads to extinction. What if anything this is all about is beyond human comprehension. The analogy I always use is to imagine a fly crawling over the bonnet of a car. What chance has it got to understand what is beneath it's feet? That's us crawling over our Earth which floats in the universe. No chance for us to understand I'm afraid. Being with people you love, that's the answer to our existence. Just enjoy what you can and don't blame Spurs for everything.
That's the thing about God(s) Nobody can prove they exist and nobody can prove they don't. For all our technological advances, people still believe in a deity that doesn't reveal him/her/itself - but does miraculous things. And this is seen as totally rational, even though it can't be explained. But in the grand scheme of things, it's insignificant when compared to the big question. Will de Jong join Utd?
I think that we have to go to the scientific approach to answer that question. We have no good evidence to suggest that Utd can sign good players any more. That suggests that you either won't sign him or he's not a good player. As Richard Dawkins once said: "Science. It works, bitches."
I've just caught up with the last 2 pages on this 'Rivals' thread. My head is spinning. I'm going to lie down in a dark room!
The player nicked by the met police for rape was first reported to the old bill last summer. The allegation was that he raped a woman abroad. The old bill claim they informed the club at the time. They (the old bill) couldn't investigate cos it was abroad. The club have refused to comment. Grim for the victim that it's gone on so long. https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...ed-player-knew-of-rape-allegation-last-autumn
The signing? A lot of clubs are bringing back experienced older players and putting them in the U21s. Utd have done it with Paul McShane, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_McShane_(footballer) They do some coaching and give the youngsters pointers on the pitch, too. I think it can be a very useful tool, if you pick the right player to do it.
Thai fans greet Liverpool in Bangkok: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62112499 "Was it like this yesterday when Manchester United came?", asks Klopp. I don't know. I'll check their article. Wait, there isn't one. No other club has one, either. Funny that...
The point that the greatest evil done to the most people has been by the elites of predominantly Christian countries is a good one: from the genocide of most of the western hemisphere's population to half a millenium of strangling Asia and Africa to death via naval-based exploitation. It's significant that the means Henry the Navigator found to finance the snowball of naval expansion was slavery.
