    Evolution - A serious question.

    I've always thought that it was a strategic blunder, and a fundamental misunderstanding of the human condition for the Dawkins crowd to be so obsessed with making sure that everyone believes in evolution. So I've never been particularly fond of these types of debates. In fact I really don't...

    Financial incentive to win a title

    This is not true - this is because of accounting gimmicks. Even New Orleans brought more money in than it spent last year.

    Another boring post about why i am against this health care reform effort

    If the idea were to increase taxes so everyone could get more health care I would be for it. If the idea were to double the number of nurses and doctors by 2030 so everybody could get more health care at a better price, i'd be for it. If the plan was to de-couple employment from insurance i...

    Another boring post about why i am against this health care reform effort

    So Greg Mankiw had an interesting post on his blog recently https://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2011/06/next-step-on-road-to-serfdom.html See this is the root of my opposition to the Affordable Care Act. Its not so much that I was opposed to the measures contained in this bill, but more so that I...

    Should Weiner Resign

    You are right this wasn't sexual harrassment as defined by the law. But at least one of the women has claimed that he sent the pics to her repeatedly despite her being offended by them. also making sexual advances towards a 17 year old is predatory. With regards to the 08...

    Should Weiner Resign

    he shouldn't resign - he should be censured and impeached. this is sexual harassment plain and simple. saying that democrats don't run on family values so this stuff doesn't matter is beyond stupid. this has nothing to do with family values its about predatory and misogynistic behavior -- and...

    Somebody explain Derrick Williams love to a Jazz Fan

    If you're worried about Marvin Williams - remember Marvin never produced in college the way Derrick Williams has. Marvin was the 4th or 5th option on his college team. Derrick Williams produced as a first option while dealing with double-teams.

    Somebody explain Derrick Williams love to a Jazz Fan

    my roommate is an arizona alum so I watched the Wildcats play over thirty times in teh last two years. And this guy is just can't miss. Worst case scenario, we're talking a better version of Beasley. Best case scenario is Paul Pierce. Williams actually reminds me a lot of Pierce, because...

    Reduce Spending and Raise Taxes?

    See this is why i don't like for scientists to get involved in this thing. Let them teach intelligent design in schools if they want, as long as they also teach that the majority of scientists believe in evolution. But if scientists get caught up in, and take sides in this ridiculous...

    Health Care Reform

    The second video you posted described the problem with fee-for-service health care - it does not describe the hits the plan gives to pharmaceutical companies and medical device makers. Secondly the data thats presented in that video comes from teh Dartmouth Health Care Atlas. It is a...

    Health Care Reform

    THose videos are filled with inaccuracies. The medical bankruptcy rate is a grossly exaggerated lie. The statistic for the number of uninsured is rapidly inflating grossly exaggerated lie. Do you remember the HMO era? Were you a fan of it? Was it really better than what we have now...

    can somebody explain to me why you can't say retarded?

    i mean isn't it objectively tragic to be developmentally disabled? so why can't you deride a statement by comparing it to that condition? If its insensitive, than what epithets are we allowed to use? Is Senile ok?
