  1. did this happen yet? what time and link is it going on at? also...I don't care...but I feel like I should watch it anyway....
  2. The Dark Lord would cut every QB on the roster?
  3. Anyone watching the series as it airs? Interested to know if some of you guys feel he was fair to Ike...
  4. It just matters how you look at it (or better put: from where you look at it). There's a legacy of anti-trust cases examining in what ways sports teams are a cartel and in what ways they are competitors.
  5. .....go to pawn shops and look around for fun if you find something you may want try to haggle for it...but do not go to buy an Iphone from a pawn shop. There are a million places you can find an Iphone...pawn shop is the worst of them all.
  6. Agreed. By far the most valuable part of the Bills is the fans. The team won't leave. It could, but probably not. We need a new owner (obviously) and a nice new dome downtown near all the bars. Then we'll be good.
  7. TJ will never take a snap for this team, ever...
  8. Chan was out of his mind all day and the presser was brutal.
  9. I have not been on the fire Gailey wagon just the fire Fitz wagon. I now agree...Chan needs to go
  10. and I love it when he does...that's him at his best and our offense at it's most dynamic
  11. Just got back. Also saw it with no idea what it was about I just have a theater nearby that has a really big screen and does 3d movies awesome (which I love despite the fact most do not)...and like you I thought this movie was absolutely amazing. Extremely good tale, probably one of the stronger deliveries of "the message" it carries I have ever seen, and absolutely STUNNING visuals. Those scenes where the ocean lights up, and everything is like space above and below...beautiful. And the boat crash was truly terrifying (and that scene where he sees the boat from underwater was breathtaking). Anyway, loved the movie had no idea what to expect and this is by far the best picture I have seen this year. No contest. I thought about that also...since everything else matches up pretty well. There's the obvious take on it that he did find some island for a while but took off b/c he had to get back to society and felt he would be devoured by island life living alone if he didn't keep trying to get rescued. Also there's a little garden of eden type metaphor....but finding that island and the tooth...regardless of how extraordinary the rest of the film was up to that point...took it to the next level and really makes you doubt the truth of the story. One would say as a viewer...that scene provoked my (the viewers) rejection of the miraculous story sort of an expression of struggling to accept faith. Which sort of makes it more powerful I suppose when the end comes and you get the general message of the movie hammered home.
  12. The "McConnell provision" is gaining traction even among business groups who typically support the GOP. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2012/12/06/business-leaders-siding-with-obama-on-debt-ceiling/
  13. This was not about the cliff
  14. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/06/debt-ceiling-mitch-mcconnell_n_2251515.html Ending up having to filibustering himself. Seems to be a bit rattled at the moment.
  15. hehe I have to admit I smiled
  16. Yes...I can feel the rage...lol...government bad..UN worse....treaty to support disabled bad... Also some very strange comments that seem to take issue with the idea that legislation creates legally enforceable rights lol...never change
  17. You would prefer the private sector to create rights...ah...didn't realize they were in the business of that but good idea And it's besides the point anyway...we as a society have decided certain legal protections and guarantees are appropriate and they are long settled...nobody was voting against them...they were just voting against us saying officially we support them to the rest of the world b/c in fantasy land it comports with their narrative that the UN is taking us over.
  18. Well the gov't did better the lives of the disabled a long time ago in this country and people appreciate that.
  19. There is a political narrative...that America is basically under attack and a big part of that is the evils of the United Nations...certain political movements position themselves as the "defenders of America from this evil encroachment"...so in voting no to harmless treaty that merely affirms our support of an international effort to address the disabled influenced by our own longstanding ADA they preserve their brand equity for the retards they "defend" from foreign invasion ... that is all this was. Political stupidity...not policy not anything logical or legitimate just pandering and messaging to the lowest of the low. Sorry RK but those "fears" you think they were fixated on are not real and they know it...and Tasker would like this vote to somehow be about the evils of the UN in general b/c of course he buys the nonsense hook line and sinker...this little vote was about showing our support to bettering the lives of disabled people worldwide that is all...
  20. LOL it's not a beachhead against anything it's just a large amount of gutless senators voting no out of political fear plain and simple...
  21. Those members of Congress are idiots playing to the unfounded fears of idiot voters. This is not even a big deal, it was basically a symbolic showing of our support for international accommodation....but even such a trivial matter cannot be accomplished b/c the GOP is insane now. Nothing, absolutely nothing in this little piece of paper was going to change US law.
  22. CEDE MA SOVEREIGNTY! Haha...this treaty ceded no sovereignty. Nada. They just voted "no" b/c people like you think it would and then may primary them.
  23. going to take your 'merica away from you?
  24. grammar on a message board <insert>wtfsmiley</insert>
