The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

Heh Sweden was allied with the Ottoman Empire for a time against Russia and our king lived there for six years so yeah I've read quite a bit about it. Modern day immigration hardly compares to that kind of conquest though, people just want a home were they can live in peace.

Actually it's a known thing a lot of immigrants from certain countries move to, for example, the UK in order to make money through crime. The decrease in crime in certain areas of Romania, along with the increase in London, and the identities of some criminals proved it.

Not denying that. But there is always many law obedient immigrants for every criminal one, but naturally bad behaviour gets more attention than good behaviour, that's how papers get sold. You can't sacrifice the good majority just to get to the rotten individuals, that's just not how it works.
With that said I'm of the opinion that Europe should close it's borders until it can handle immigration in a proper way.
 
I'm grading exams right now for the philosophy of science course that I'm a teaching assistant for. I've been making separate piles according to what letter grade I would be likely to assign for each of them. There is already a large pile of "lower than a B" exams, and a rather small pile of "good job, you get an A" exams. This is an interesting experience and it's definitely making me realize how much more I know about this subject than these kids, which is a nice way to put things in perspective because I constantly feel like I need to know a whole lot more.

It's actually a pleasure to read the A-level exams. I've even managed to put some (female) faces to some (female) names and I have to admit that I am developing a slight crush on these intelligent females. :heh:

Put it in their brain!

Disappointed about the world series.

Why? The Phillies played pretty bad... and they had no hope against Rivera. It seemed pretty straightforward from the beginning.

On the bright side, Ryan Howard's wiffage generated enough wind energy to lower energy costs in the eastern united states.

Why am I disappointed that the team I wanted to win lost? Is that a serious question?

Ha@wiffage.

I'm very pleased with the result this year. I'm a Cub fan first, but if they didn't exist I'd be a hardcore Yankees fan. I loved 'em more back in '96 and '97 and such when it was Jeter and Torre taking over shit. My grandpa loves them because he was around for the Mantle/Maris/Berra, etc.
 
That's why I fucking hate this town. Everybody hates the Yankees and is obsessed with the Yankee-Red Sox thing. I don't know shit about baseball (and don't give a fuck), but it seems pretty obvious to me that for most of their respective histories the Yankees have been a significantly better team, which probably explains why they won the world series a bunch of times and the Red Sox didn't.

You don't understand sports and have no idea what you're talking about.
