Commented in Indians Hit 4 Homers, Blank Royals for Sweep
I'm a diehard Mets fan, but as an Ohioan who loves an underdog I long ago adopted the Indians as my favorite AL team. So, with the World Series still fresh in my mind, seeing the Indian sweep KC and take the division lead at home was exciting in so many ways. KC outplayed my Mets in the WS, fair and square, but the schadenfreude was strong in my house this weekend.

Commented in Ten awesome things about being Christian in the United States
We don't worry about whether or not pork or beef is in foods because Christian tradition has no real food taboos.
And I believe that those who do ought to be responsible for those. Of course, it's nice if people put warning about pork and all but other people don't have responsibilities for your religious rules.
In fact there was a bit of a problem when McDonald's expanded into India and never told the Indians that the fries contained beef. American executives didn't think it was a big deal because Christians eat beef, it was a big deal to the Indians because Hindus don't eat beef.
I actually think this is a big issue even in North America because it's not something you can reasonably expect in fries. There are plenty of vegetarians who would be pissed to learn they ate beef.
We don't really (outside of crosses) have required dress for Christians and this does cause problems when Muslims have to sue to wear hijabs and others to wear turbans.
You might not be we have a taboo on crosses.
and this does cause problems when Muslims have to sue to wear hijabs and others to wear turbans.
As in everyday life or or when it conflicts with wearing a uniform? Because in the latter, it's your responsibility to pick a job that agrees with your religious choices, not the other way around. Same with Christians who oppose contraception.
That's what I mean by Christian cultural assumptions. Christian scripture, clothing styles, food laws, and holidays are widely known and widely practiced even among those who are not Christian themselves. Most Americans and Brits could probably quote major bible verses (John 3:16, for example) without trouble, but would not know any verses in the Quran off by heart. Most could give the religious background of Easter but not Diwali or eid al Iftar. We know when Jesus was born but not Buddha. You don't have to practice Christianity to know these things because your culture (I'm assuming you're American) is nominally Protestant Christianity
I said earlier I wasn't American. I'm Québécois. The vast majority of us couldn't quote any major verse of the Bible and know the alledged birth of Jesus only because of our calendar. I agree that the timing of the holidays is convenient for Christians because of our former Christian history. Good for them, but I don't think anyone can hold any expectation to have his or her relgion catered to. In fact, I'd be in favour of moving the easter holidays to a fixed date every year.
I don't think anyone has the right to expect anyone to be knowledgeable about his religion or to receive special favour because of it. Good for you if individuals or corporations or anyone do. But the government should not, ever. Which is basically the idea behind the laïcité doctrine we follow (like secularism but stricter).

Commented in Ten awesome things about being Christian in the United States
America has a largely nominal Christian and Protestant culture. The cultural assumptions are from western Protestant Christian tradition, as opposed to Buddhist or Hindu or Muslim cultural assumptions.
We don't worry about whether or not pork or beef is in foods because Christian tradition has no real food taboos. In fact there was a bit of a problem when McDonald's expanded into India and never told the Indians that the fries contained beef. American executives didn't think it was a big deal because Christians eat beef, it was a big deal to the Indians because Hindus don't eat beef. We don't really (outside of crosses) have required dress for Christians and this does cause problems when Muslims have to sue to wear hijabs and others to wear turbans. People who make up uniform codes don't really think about Muslims or Sikhs.

Commented in Mosquitoes Use Smell to See Their Hosts
I have spent a considerate amount of time with Indians in Latin America. Many tribes will drink a table spoon or 2 of vinegar a day to keep mosquitoes from biting. It works.

Commented in John Oliver Exposes Corrupt Stadium Funding Practices In The NFL, NBA, and MLB
If you look at places like Cleveland, where I'm from, they have 3 franchises. They will sell them out or come close to selling them out every time, even thought they haven't won anything since 1960s. They do have one of the best musical Orchestras in the world and can barley sell out half the concert. I love my Browns, Tribe and Cavs, but man the 3 stadiums/arenas seem like such a waste of money. I don't know what the solution is but I think that the money spent on the teams could be better spent on infrastructure for the city of Cleveland.
Just my 2cents

Commented in Who’s Supporting Donald Trump, and Why? Let Them Speak for Themselves
"…Donald Trump was elected to be the 45th and 46th President of the United States of America."
Ha! How can one person be elected to be both the 45th and 46th president? Cleveland was 22nd and 24th, but not consequentially of course.

Commented in 'You’re Not Wrong, You're Just an A**hole'
Yes, it's so. It's a racist slur, and yes, it's offensive. In case you were unclear, so's the Cleveland Indians logo. Maybe that was less difficult to work out on one's own, though.

Commented in The Redskins are determined to keep their racist team name after all
Many of the Indians first encountered by early settlers (central east coast) used red paint/dye as decoration(s). Probably the initial reason for the moniker, and probably later used to describe all/any natives. The very title Indian is faulty/ misrepresentative, and could be construed by both parties, American and/or citizens of India, as insulting.
