Mahomes, Kelce, Swift, and the Chiefs are beyond tiresome. I hope Philly puts a good beating on them like they did Washington.

For all of you saying the US doesn't need Canada, I suggest you look into it that a little more as you're completely wrong.

I think Trump should bring them to the table and try to understand where all the angst comes from and why they're so confrontational to the US and their surrounding neighbors. After that, give them a massive stimulus package so Kim and his family can go on living like royalty all the while the citizens starve to death and suffer. Reward their misbehaviour.

@Kohakuebisu I thought the exact same thing.
Men here general become invisible when children are born and literally become just a source of income for the wife and kids. Meanwhile, he's given a pittance by the wife for his own personal use as women control the finances of the family. It really is a horrible existence, and it's no wonder why marriage is on the decrease and divorce on the increase.
I guess it's up to the younger generations to break that mold and find a better work-life balance so they don't end up like the above.

I feel sorry those in Australia who can actually break but didn't get the opportunity to represent their country in proper, respectful manner.
No loss here people.

@YeahRight Sadly, there are people on this planet that carry no such sense of gulit and never will. And I rather not foot the bill through tax payers yen to keep them alive till they're 90 with four walls, and three square meals.
Once you commit murder willingly, especially of child or elderly age, you forfeit the right to breathe the same air as me. Period.

Start implementing public lashings or humiliation (rotten tomato throwing) for behaviour like this. Or Tubers and their ilk have their channels deleted instantly on doing anything like this. Most likely the only way they'll learn.

If you're one of those out in the public walking Tubers, follow social norms and don't be shooting on trains and whatnot and putting people on video who don't want to be on video. Don't think "this is a public space" is going to save you. Won't with me.
Follow social norms wherever you go. Don't be a douche.
