Would you shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

They have had the CIA and probably special forces on the ground- what's a few more btw what don't people understand about tribal- either you have a dictator or you have a different government in every village and valley - nation states generally start with conquering and then oppressing rinse repeat and after a couple hundred years if you're lucky you may get something coherent - why Libya? if you look at a map of US military bases it's one of the few places in the region where we don't have one.

I trust the analysis right after the season more than the late analysis- neither Dareus or Fairley is Suh but I think they are as good or better than Gerald McCoy or Tyson Jackson, they are not going to dominate right out of the gate, and Fairley especially is not going to run people over in the Pros like he did in college- college linemen have to adjust to how much stronger the Pros are- after the first 3-4 years of a strength program your gains slow way down but they still add up- if you only increase your strength 5% a year you're still 25% stronger after 5 years. Cameron Heyward has all the physical tools to be a good 3-4 DE in fact I'd put him just a tiny notch below Watt and Jordan- did consistently dominate? NOPE! but if he did he'd be gone between 10-20 in the first round. I do think Wilson has problems he's big fast and strong but he doesn't look that coordinated in the LBs drills but Ayers have problems too he's smooth but not as explosive as you'd like and he has a rep as a finesse player, none of the ILBs are without their problems the big ones are less athletic than you'd like and the athletic ones are not as big as you'd like which is why I take a bunch. I like Von Miller I think he's the guy who can drop into pass coverage and pass rush right out of the gate but I think over the course of 5 years Quinn is the more dominating player. While Miller has much better lateral movement, back pedal and change of direction than Maybin he's going to have some of the same pass rush problems Maybin has, he's not bull rushing any OTs and he's not running over very many RBs or overpowering TEs to get to the QB.

I agree with you, I was blessed with a June Ward type mom and am thankful everyday, some of my friends weren't as lucky - My Dad was pretty much like Red from that 70s show maybe with a little Archie Bunker thrown in.

which is why I hope Ron Paul runs- and hopefully as an independent.

One sentence that sums it up nicely: well if you are saying Obama sucks almost as bad as president Cheney/Bush did then I agree with you.

1. you have to distinguish politics from policy- when you have some one on the ground the way the republicans were you keep kicking them until they stop moving 2. He had a small chance of fixing things in his first three months but he blew it and now the problem is not fixable if by fix you mean bring back the glory days- you can't stimulate you way out of it because the normal means of stimulation only provides 1 extra dollar of stimulation for every 8 dollars spent and for that extra dollar more than a dollar is loss through debasement of currency- you are also not going to cut you way out, industry is not going to increase investment when they are only running at 70% of capacity and there is not only no increase in demand but a better than 50% chance that demand will decrease as a another round of QE will export inflation forcing other countries to increase their interest rates and slow their economies- the downturn can be mitigated or delayed but only a miracle like finding a 10 trillion dollar natural resource or some huge technological breakthrough on the scale of the fusion/teleportation/matter rearrangement will stop it.

Thoughts, behavior, and environment effects brain neurotransmitters brain neurotransmitters effect thoughts, behavior and how you view your environment. I question the effectiveness of talk therapy unless there was traumatic abuse and even then I think it's value long term is overrated- we are social being and most people need to interact with people they care about to be healthy, paying for that interaction is less healthy than paying for sex IMO. I do think for psychological trauma the use of Propranolol and scripted talk therapy holds promise. For the average guy I'd suggest getting an antidepressant and checking your vitamin D level. While you were waiting to get to therapeutic levels I'd make you walk on a treadmill at a conversational pace and play Call of Duty or Halo at the same time and then go tanning. At the same relative time I'd have you make a list of things you hate about your life- job, relationships, family, friends, place where you live, how you look, or whatever - then start making small changes. -
Industrial Espionage How the CIA
....lybob replied to ....lybob's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
No but I think that's where we are headed or at least to blocks of nations maybe first a transatlantic block. The problem with Multi-nationals is two-fold 1. in regards to this country that they can participate in the political process without being fully invested in the results- if as a result of their political participation there is social unrest or infrastructure breakdown, or ecological disaster, or a destroyed consumer market, or a less educated less well trained labor force or any other negative consequence they can just move. They are in no way forced to balance short term gains with long term consequences. 2. in general they can play off countries against each other in lower wages, less worker safety, and less environmental restrictions making it a race to the bottom with the only constrains being labor force skill, infrastructure and social stability. I think corporations are being short sighted in even their own best interest, if they destroy the purchasing power of the west they will vastly diminish other countries incentive to open markets or follow western trade rules and regulations- because of the potential of the Chinese Market, China can force businesses to transfer technology for participation in that market, when China reaches manufacturing quality parity with the west, why will they continue to allow easy access to their markets if Western markets are greatly diminished- in less than five years they could exist comfortably between their own domestic market India, Russia (as a major energy provider), Korea, Japan, Taiwan and Australia- They have Energy, large markets, advance technology, they can continue trading infrastructure projects for natural resources in Africa and South America - remember what we think of as rule of law and human rights comes from the west and while we may be hypocritical as how we apply them at least we have that foundation, the world is going to be very different if there is a quick Asiatic ascendancy. -

Terrible analogy, The correct analogies would be Tony from West Side Story ( had loyalty to one side saw something on the other side he wanted tried to be a peace maker and ended up dead) or a reverse Rodney King - said Can't we all... just... get along? then got the crap beaten out of him. Obama's problem are the following 1. no strong core values pragmatic is a trait not a value, 2. either politically naive or bought,if naive did he really think he was going to charm republicans and there was going to be some kind of meeting of the minds- it shows either a totally unrealistic and overblown opinion of his own persuasiveness or a totally unrealistic view of his political opponents and how to deal with adversaries- if it was me I'd bash the republicans everyday starting day one and force them to come out with legislation then rip them if they had nothing or rip any legislation they came out with to shreds- my message for the first 4 months would have been the republicans !@#$ed this up I'm going to give them a chance to come up with something to fix it. 3. He surrounded himself with the same morons who either didn't see the economic crisis coming or really created the underlying conditions for it, as for the rest of the team around him- his smart guys aren't very loyal and his loyal guys aren't very smart.

I hope that the Cardinals want to leapfrog the Bengals
....lybob replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Bills have 5 DL now with one coming off an injury - you want to be able to rotate you DL I'd want to come into camp with at least 8 healthy DL and start the season with 7 IMO Dareus is #1 because he can play 3-4 DE/NT and 4-3 DT probably a better run defender , Fairly is #2 because he can play 3-4 DE and 4-3 DT probably a better pass rusher, then Watt (probably the best pass rusher as 3-4 DE) and Jordan probably the best overall 3-4 DE. If looked at from a purely 3-4 DE standpoint I think all 4 of these players are about even but position versatility puts Dareus and Fairley a notch up. I like the Dareus, Watt combination best because because with Dareus you get the positional versatility, run defense, and the ability to tie up multiple blockers, while Watt gives you the best pass rusher/pass deflector/ pass changer at 3-4DE -
2011 NFL Draft All Bust List
....lybob replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I can see this guys point on some of the players but lets look at Dareus, at 3-4 DE The guys right if he says he's probably not going to get big stats like double digit sacks , Richard Seymour who is the gold standard for 3-4 DEs never got more than 8, but what is the value of keeping Olinemen off you LBs, if when Dareus is playing your LBs make plays 2-3yards closer to the line of scrimmage that has a big value, if Dareus is doubled teamed an it allows our OLB to get a sack that has value, if our LBs get injured less that has value- So if Dareus gets 4 sacks,7 QB pressures, a handful of TFL and 30 tackles you might think you wasted a high pick but if while doing this he's keeping your LBs clean then he's worth every bit. -
Using the Nawrocki board- trade down with ARI 1. Dareus or Fairley- depending on Denver 2a Cameron Heyward DE- great fit as 3/4 DE 2b Martez Wilson ILB- big and Athletic ILB 3. Brook Reed OLB- Steal 4a Dontay Moch LB- at worse Special teams ace 4b Joseph Barksdale OT- chance at starting RT could play LT in an emergency 5. Jason Pinkston OG/OT- a prospect at guard but could play RT in a pinch 6. Tayrod Taylor QB/ Athlete - Change of pace QB - 7a Mario Fannin RB- Big and fast, catches the ball well 7b Mario Harvey ILB- went off the Board, reminds me of a poor mans London Fletcher expect at the very least great special teams

....lybob replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is the trade I am wishing for- the only part that sucks is Bower had a rough pro-day so that probably makes Denver's pick Dareus but although Quinn's good pro-day makes him a possibility (I think Quinn is a little higher rated as 4-3 DE than a 3-4 OLB) So my dream would be 1. Gabbert 2.Quinn 3. ARI Newton 4. CIN Peterson 5. Bills Dareus but since it's a dream I'm not done and the Bills use both 2nds and their 5th to move back into round one to pick 14 where they draft Watt. -

You don't pay CEO's salary as long as - they didn't get a bail out, or a government subsidy, or support from CIA, the State department, ICE, or the Military, and they didn't get no bid government contracts, and if government doesn't build special infrastructure for them, or buy toxic assets from them and pay for it by debasing the currency, or give them sweetheart deals on publicly owned natural resources, or clean up their toxic waste. -
