Seven Nation Army is a great song, but it’s not even the best song on that album.

Also Franz Ferdinand being rock is very borderline.

:rolleyes:

It’s a dumb metric—just opinion.

But I would think generally that a team who has won a title in the last 5 years has a better outlook due to any bump in recruiting.

Specifically in State vs Arky’s case, I think State has a better coach, which is more important than a title 5 years ago.

In short, their metrics don’t make sense and their ranking is bad.

So you think Arkansas, who doesn’t have a title, should be ranked above State, who does?

My mom has MS. They struggled for years to diagnose my dad with what they now think is CIDP (MS for the peripheral nervous system). I watched a friend deteriorate and die without doctors realizing what she had. I’ve watched another friend try to relearn how to speak and walk after a bout of GBS.

There is something going on—these are supposed to be exceedingly rare diseases.

This is rage bait

Careful, you’re getting into dangerous territory

Are you the kind of guy who would name a kid bubba?

Just thought it was funny that you used Romans to make this point since they invented the fasces.

To answer your question seriously—there are two primary definitions of socialism. The first is the Marxist historical phase of government after capitalism in which the means of production are under public ownership. The second, more common usage, is central economic planning in contrast to decentralized market order.

So yes, to the extent that ancient civilizations had centrally planned economies, they were “socialist” even though Marxist theory had not started.

There’s a reason societal wealth takes off in countries that have more market ordering. I’m sure you understand this is Adam Smith’s main thesis in Wealth of Nations—even though he didn’t have the term “socialism” to use.
