6/3 How do I listen to the world cup games? I think the BBC is broadcasting to European internet users. How do I listen to this? - danh \_ Why would you want to listen to color commentators from any country other than mexico? I recommend that you learn spanish and listen to latino radio for your world cup coverage, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAL!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAL!!! \_ For some bizarre reason, this seems to be common with all S. American announcers I've heard. Anyway, why would you care about the world cup? FIFA is evil. -John \_ OK, I'll bite. And why is are they evil? \_ They're corrupt, they fuck taxpayers in host countries for all they're worth under the name of some wishy- washy let's-all-get-along-through-soccer idea, and people are dumb enough to go along with them. FIFA is basically a mixture of F1 racing, the IOC and any American commercial major league in terms of their business practices and how they work. If you want good soccer, go play pickup. -John \_ How does that make them different than anyone else in sports? \_ It doesn't really, but the IOC and most US major leagues are a joke too. -John \_ It's funny when they start to do that but then it turns out not to be a goal for some reason and they suddenly stop. \_ Move to the UK \_ Try BBC Five Live: http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/sport/football/worldcup/2006/guide http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/fivelive.shtml?listen \_ So you probably need a UK HTTP proxy cause they're suppose to be checking IP's at the door |

6/3 I took several years of Chinese in Berkeley. Ranch 99 in Albany has \_ 99 Ranch quite a few wanted ads posted in Chinese for tenants, many requiring you to be female or be of Chinese ethnicity. This makes me very angry. Isn't this clearly DISCRIMINATION and can I sue them? Do I have a case? ACLU claims this is not legal: http://www.aclunc.org/language/lang-report.html \_ Honestly, I'd rather face direct discrimination in this case than hidden discrimination. I mean, all they have to do is say "no" to whomever they don't want and not explain why, and it is difficult to make a case. At least this way you don't waste your time. --PeterM \_ The ACLU doesn't seem to say it's illegal in housing. -tom \_ But CA law does. See below. \_ Unless this is a roommate situation, it's illegal to advertise for female-only tenants. Sue 'em on that. \_ California's FEHA is the primary state law which prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, lease negotiation, or financing of housing based on a person's race, religion, national origin, color, sex, marital status, ancestry, family status, disability,sexual orientation, and source of income. http://www.shastafairhousing.org/California2001.pdf \_ I don't know how they phrase it in ranch 99, but I usually state my "preference" on my craigslist ad. If you are a business managing an apartment complex, then you probably shouldn't say "female only", but if someone's just looking for a roommate, then I don't see what the big problem is. \_ This stuff has gone on in Berkeley for decades. \_ Well then, we need to sue Berkeley. Reverse discrimination is bad for our superior Ayran race! |
