Hence the problem, and why advocates of both parties tend to fight against initial major pieces of law that goes against their "core" beliefs. We are always sold these types of laws as solving problem A, B, C, D, etc. Yet in reality, two things almost always result. First, the law solves...

I am going to assume you support the right for anybody, regardless of station in life, to bring a child into the world? Don't you find it curious, upon self-reflection, that you could not be troubled by and avoid judgement of people living in urban and rural poverty willingly bringing a child...

Liberals are not exempt from how humans are hard wired. People are mostly motivated in action and thought by greed and fear. Political alignment is largely a cover. Poor people in Red States vote Republican because they fear government intrusion more than they fear being on food stamps. Rich...

Dal, I am going to assume that Obamacare solved or at least put a dent in healthcare bankruptcies and for that matter largely solved the healthcare problem in this country. You (not you personally, but the collective) can't have it both ways in terms of continued bemoaning the healthcare...

This logic is a tad bit along the lines of "I am never going to ride in the car because I might get in an accident, therefore nobody should ride in a car." Hey, if your greatest fear in life is that you might get sick and declare bankruptcy than certainly an argument could be made that one...

That was brilliant.

The last Sci-Fi flick I watched was Cocoon. I would actually be interested in your American Sniper review.

I am not much of a movie guy. Maybe 4 or 5 a year at the theater. I just don't give a rat's butt about 95% of what is out there. So now that you know where I am coming from and that I am completely unqualified to critique, I will go ahead anyway. I found American Sniper to be a bit...

Does anybody know how the balls are used during the game? Do both teams footballs get mixed together or does each team use their own balls during their offensive possession? The answer to that would to a certain degree put my theory in jeopardy.

The entire premise of this scandal is logically flawed as you have eluded to in your posts in this thread. The major contradiction is that the Patriots are generally considered to be somewhere on the spectrum between the football equivalent of Einstein and Darth Vader. One would expect at...

Mr. Green, I am assuming that you are advocating the tax structure in government 3. Without comment to ideology and the merits of your various 3 tax scenarios, it should probably be brought to attention that the current structure of the U.S. tax system is significantly more aligned with...

Enjoy it. This week will be the pinnacle. The new car smell will soon wear off. Upon return, put away all sharp objects and let the neutering begin.

I would not want any part of Rudy around my rim.

Perhaps some of the old skool members can verify, but didn't this jiffy lube promo carry a jinx with it? It seems that 3 or 4 guys that had the lunch pails made were cut or traded.

I don't think it is any coincidence your brain referenced 1812. For many of us, watching a Corbin team on offense felt like watching basketball played in the 19th century. I don't care if they lose every game and it comes to light that Snyder doesn't know the difference between the pick and...

Alema and Thurl. Like watching Full House before Lori Loughlin came along. I would rather multi-task by watching the WNBA, reading a The Thriller post, and watching Harpring highlights, all while getting tea bagged by Troutbum. Makes Ron Boone seem like Edward Witten.

Regardless of the social backdrop, isn't the only relevant question at hand being if the officer's action was justified?

Kicky?

I would bet a healthy sum of money that the chances of the Jazz and Hayward reaching an agreement last year was close to zero. There are people on this board that have a pretty impressive grasp on the salary cap, where team's stand, what free agents are available IN THE FUTURE, and where the...

Gold Star. Exum has to turn into a franchise player and Snyder has to be the next great coach. The angst about GW's contract, the mythical free agent that is going to change the tide looming out in the distance future, Kanter's pick and roll defense, or who the third string PG is going to be...
