lol jesus Christ if you would like to enter the fold and give your take on what scheme would be best then just do so

the various capital gains categories

More people now identify as independent....but they still have leanings and often times winning them is just roping them back into the fold not really winning over a true "independent/undecided"

What rate would you suggest VA?

So it has nothing to do with eating BBQ sandwiches for lunch and pasta w/ meatballs for dinner 3 times a week all with servings fit for a king? C'mon...the portions we eat and frequency with which we eat fatty foods is the predominate factor...not the lack of walks. Exercise certainly would help....but it's not like the world ran 5 miles 5 days a week and then just stopped.

I'm waiting to find a way to launch a missile at a few posters

The tweet followed news that the Israeli attack had taken out Ahmed Jabari, the chief of staff of the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades and leader of the military wing of Hamas.

Throughout the day, the warring groups used their Twitter accounts to provide real-time updates about the military action. The IDF account even broke the news of Jabari’s death on Twitter and quickly posted a video of the strike that was said to have killed him. “Hamas continues to try to kill Israeli civilians. So far today, the Iron Dome has intercepted 17 rockets fired from #Gaza,” another update said, referring to the missile defense system installed with the help of the U.S. Meanwhile, the militant unit of Hamas said it had shelled numerous Israeli bases. “Al Qassam hit Isnad Sofa base with 6 mortars in response on assassination of its leader,” a recent update said, as the Twitter war continued well into the evening.

Government does provide health insurance cheaper than the private sector that is a fact 3rd. At the same time the massive profit margins of insurance companies and their "evil nature" is a huge exaggeration tgreg. There are bad insurance companies out there but there are a lot of not-for-profit insurance companies that have a profit margin barely above 2%...MUCH lower than most industries.

It is significantly more expensive to eat healthy. I'm not saying that it can't be done or is an excuse....but it's a factor.

It's business, it's culture, it's people, it's government...it's everything and it's been moving this way for a long time. Etc Etc...we're too fat right now but maybe we'll slim down ... that or go broke.

Edison v. Tesla is a good part of the series but honestly it's more about Rockefeller/Carnegie rivalry and JP Morgan who IMO seems to be the star above the others.

Democrats like American business and history just as much as the next Republican people. Enough of this nonsense seriously. The average democrat hates business as much as the average republican hates minorities or helping the poor....not very much. How this topic has to turn into bashing is nonsense.

it only killed 5 kids Vanderbilt's "favorite" son died in the war btw...crushed him

Watched it a little while ago but pretty sure they settled on AC not DC...then Morgan bought out Westinghouse and fired Edison lol (could be wrong on the exact details here) EDIT: And by "bought out" I mean threatened a law suit he knew he would lose but knew Westinghouse couldn't afford to take on

Agreed. I had basically the same knowledge as you...although I had a bare bones understanding Tesla died poor and was a bad business man and figured Edison won that little battle...which obviously was wrong as the show explained (his ideology having won, him having lost). I did find it hilarious the electric chair was allowed to proceed b/c hanging was perceived to be cruel and apparently after frying that guy they figured this new electric chair idea was something to continue on with. The way people manipulated stock and bought/blocked out competition back then is fascinating though. Good show.

Anyone watch this series? I would recommend it. Nothing groundbreaking and a bit repetitive (they feel the need to recap everything after each commercial break for some unknowable reason)...but all in all pretty good, pretty entertaining, and certainly worth a watch if you know nothing or only something about post-civil war business. Follows a number of story lines but mostly focuses on Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, and Morgan...tracking their rise as they crush their competition (through business practices now illegal) and the competition between themselves. It ends with the rise of the anti-trust movement and the new wave of business leaders that rise in that era (Ford, etc). Well worth the watch.

Agreed. I don't care who we play we aren't going 7-0 we aren't even going 6-1. We'll win 7 or 8 games max

lol I saw that exact play also and thought "damn!"....McKelvin knocked the hell out of that OLman

Williams was/is our #2 before he got hurt. So I will not calm down. Williams is done. I don't want to see him out there again. McKelvin is a SOLID CB when compared to Williams.

Why does it take Williams getting hurt for us to see the switch. Why can't this team evaluate their own damn talent? Same w/ CJ splitting 50/50 w/ Fred. On and on... McKelvin is better. Period. Get it through your skull Wanny.

Anyone else think so?

80/20 carries. I'm sick of this nonsense. Spiller might be the most dangerous man in the league. This idiocy must end.

uh...we need Levitre brother

The bottom line....how long are we gong to ride Fitz? To actually be good and have a chance to WIN in the playoffs...the answer should be "no longer."

We lost b/c Fitz threw an INT in the area TJ was in with the game on the line while everybody else was playing great. /topic
