Whether they mirror public opinion or not it doesn't change the fact that the basis is hate. As for your second thought he hasn't increased there importance as much as he is the candidate where they thought they had a chance to be heard. Romney in public opinion caters to rich white guys. True or not perception is reality and minorities won't vote for someone who doesn't care about them.

This is the classic logic vs emotion discussion. The same way Men (logic) and Women (emotional) have difficulty in communication rooting for our favorite team is the same thing. On the one hand logic dictates higher pick, better player, quickest way to turn it around. Emotion dictates I want them to try hard and win because I want to feel good. Several times across several sports has "tanking" been a good thing for the team. Colts - last year NBA - the entire reason for their lottery but an article also the sport where getting 1 high impact player makes more of a difference than any other This year Shanahan and Gailey have both admitted this a strategy that is employed. Gailey's you play and try to win the first 13 weeks then evaluate where you are quote and Shanahan's start the evaluation process quote are not good indicator's that winning is number one. In my honest opinion maybe it shouldn't be. Only if and when the team has been eliminated from the playoffs. If there is still a chance to sneak in then that chance must be taken, but if eliminated? You're playing for the best draft pick possible (or should be imo). However getting the player to tank is a horrible idea. Anytime you ask them to go out and lose it sends a terrible message as well as setting them up for injury. What needs to be done (and is) is put players on ir unnecessarily (sound familiar?), start underwhelming players (Brian Brohm in the season finale perhaps), or "vanilla" play calling.

Happy birthday you optimistic robot!

I thought that was odd myself and was half hoping for a zombie baby (way back machine but Nightmare on Elm Street 5 anybody?) but I hadn't noticed the titles before. Have I been missing this all along or is the an occurrence from time to time? Anyways is a baby slightly impractical in this world. A good point was raised by my wife - who will nurse this baby? How is this baby supposed to survive in this world?

And that is the mindset that is costing the Republicans. Sure it may be more likely that a black man gets more black votes but with a proper policy and TOLERANCE don't you think it is possible to lower that number. 40% of white people voted for a black guy why can't 40% of black people vote for a white guy? THEIR PLATFORM IS OUTDATED! If the republicans want the minority vote they have to start catering to it instead of the far right. Moderation will be the saving grace of the Republican party or stubbornness will be it's demise. edit: btw although we are nowhere near agreeing, this is a great discussion void of name calling - props to you

You are implying that you know why people voted for who and what they did which isn't true. Also you are scared that Race played a part in how people voted, and well Alpha had a very good rebuttal to that I will say race didn't play a part in the midwest voting for the white guy? I've already said this but do you think the Republican party should be asking themselves why this is? Is it purely because Obama is black or because the Republican policies/belief systems are anti black?

I prefer p**sy!!! No dog for me too much responsibility. My cat thinks she is a dog thoug, to the point of "barking" from time to time as well as waiting for me at the door when I get home.

Sorry to do that . I didn't take it that way but it makes much more sense. I just thought holy crap my wife or newborn? not even close, and she said f*ck that I'm choosing me lol.

so the part that scares you is what? That America is changing and no longer a white dominated society? Or that black people and hispanics now care enough to vote? Or that the Republican party is so out of touch with the majority of America that they no longer can win just based on hate/scare tactics? Romney's stance on immigration doesn't scare all hispanics btw you do understand that all illegals are not hispanic and vice versa right? You also understand that illegals can't vote right?

:lol: :lol:

Don't forget to turn to page 2. First result when googling Romney Lies btw. Yes! Politics for to long has been dominated by the "old rich white guys." The republicans run on a ticket of hate and it isn't tolerated anymore. They are pro-life which people take as against women (it isn't necessarily but people's perception is there reality - and it really doesn't help when rape or legitimate rape is "god's will"). They are anti affirmative action which people take as anti black. They are for stronger immigration protection which is against Mexicans/Hispanics. They are against gay marriage which is against well gay people. As the younger generation gains more voting power the Republicans are going to struggle to win elections. See the change in medical marijuana (or recreational) laws as well as the passage of gay marriage in more states. This election was about people who for to long have been treated as unimportant finally standing up for themselves and getting out to vote. Guess Romney needed that 47% after all. Maybe the question should be asked why 93% of black, 73% of hispanic (btw your take on immigration laws is borderline racist - not all hispanics are illegal immigrants) or people who don't attend church (Obama is religious as well as Romney) or women felt they could trust Romney or vote Republican. It really (and you can't think this) can't be because Obama is black.

Crazy episode with the death of 2 main characters and you guys are circle jerking about which celeb zombie you would like to see?! I don't think Carol is dead and I like the suspense of Andrea and her unpredictably. This season is so much better than the farm. Lori's choice however led to a discussion between the wife and I - do you let the baby die or let the baby live and your wife die? To us it seemed like a no brainer that the baby goes and the wife stays but was just wondering what others thought?

He was looking at Syracuse because he is friends with Carter Williams. I was at the game he attended and sat a row behind him (and his huge flat top). Boeheim went ballistic on Carter Williams who proceeded to yell back at him and Hopkins had to separate them. Talked to my friends who watched on TV and they never mentioned it as it was during a timeout and probably commercial. Anyway Noel left immediately after this happened (knew he wasn't coming as soon as I saw his reaction) and it also was when Carter Williams picked up his spot on the bench for the rest of the season.

same site has most overrated player, coming in at #3 Mario Williams "Mario Williams. Just because a guy has a bunch of sacks doesn't excite me. I have a lot of respect for Justin Smith and the way he plays because he plays so physical. I have respect for DeMarcus Ware for the way he plays the run and the pass. Some guys, if they just play the pass, it's easy to get sacks." — NFC defensive player

I did get caught by him once but I just don't care for his shtick. I have never understood why his/her trolling was allowed. I found it to be annoying and not funny but to each his own.

Crayonz

I think they should bring in Tarvaris Jackson and see what he's... wait what? He's here already?

My thought on the tea was that perhaps it is keeping the governor from changing. Perhaps he was bitten and the tea somehow is counteracting it. That or the boring old mind control tea. Either way this storyline is so much better than the original group. I honestly despise Lori and keep hoing she will die. As for Rick I think he is an idiot and don't care much for the acting. Actually hoping that the original group gets killed (hey a few can survive-not Rick or Lori) and move into the governor's territory.

Does anyone know if he went home during the bye week? Maybe having some time with friends and family will help with the grieving process. I don't have a brother but could only imagine losing my mother/father or one of my sisters and what that would do to me. I would need at least a few weeks to grieve as well as months to accept it. That being said being away from home and not being able to help your family cope is another huge burden. I'm hoping he got to go home. I'm also hoping he comes back with some rage and takes it out on opponent's offenses! (hey I can't be Mr. Niceguy ALL the time )

This to me says that after 12 or 13 games you evaluate if you're going to make a playoff push or tank. I really didn't think that happened and maybe I'm being extreme. Maybe it's nt lose on purpose but don't necessarily try hard to win. Maybe start Brian brohm for a game for example. I can't argue with the strategy but I haven't seen it said.

So who are the early guesses for Bloody Face? Is it the Dr? The monseigneur? AN evil spirit? Aliens? I'm leaning towards the Dr. although I think it is to obvious. Love this show btw. Last season I thought was amazing and this one so far has been gripping. Jessica Lange is phenomenal!

I've been back and forth on this show. It is pretty good but not great however last night's episode was excellent. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop! When they went off on the military guys I loved the twist (even though I saw it coming - more like hoped it would happen). At the end of the episode I though wow that was awesome why can't every episode be like that! Then I remembered why because Rick and Lori have to be in it.

The bye week taught me that the gambling is bad for my health... and my marriage! I put in 2 if/comes and set it as Pats*/Chargers and Lions/Giants. Well the pats* came in and so did the lions but the chargers blew it (seriously giving 3 to the Browns and you couldn't cover that?!) so I had to stress through the entire Giants game as my friend who put the same bet in just a different order (pats*/Lions and Chargers/Giants) already knew he was good. I was so pissed thinking I was going to have to hear how I should have done it his way. The Giants jump out to a huge lead! sigh of relief... Cowboys come all the way back! absolutely pissed... Giants stop them with a minute left. Yes!!! Cowboys have all 3 time outs and get the ball back. Dex Bryant Touchdown!!! :censored: He was out! YES!!!! game over I win!!! What a roller coaster ride as the Giants were giving 2.5! The last 5 minutes of this happened at the restaurant after we had finished eating, and it took FOREVER! My wife said "you are making me hate sports." I made her wait a good 20 minutes after dinner at a restaurant yelling at the tv, and needless to say she was not happy . Which means I had to temper my happiness/excitedness/holy sheet can you believe what happenedness as well as the phone calls I got and say I'm sorry but thank you... and split my winnings with her so I can do it all again next week

Holy crap dude. You ask for advice EVERYONE tells you the same thing (to the tune of a way longer than necessary thread) and you ignore it! You're not done playing the game because YOU'RE STILL PLAYING THE GAME! Move on please for the love of god move on.
