Obama Supporters threatening riots if Romney wins
dayman replied to DaveinElma's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Haha seriously. It's pathetic honestly some of the posts on this board that paint the picture of the fictional democratic candidate supporter in any given election as nothing but minority, welfare, moochers. In any event, these people are idiots, threatening to riot. No more idiotic than the the other idiots who threatened civil war if Obama wins again. idiots are idiots EDIT: although I will admit it's is more badass to threaten civil war than riot -
b/c we are the ****ty Bills and they are the 7-1 Texans

IF we were lucky and stayed healthy and caught breaks along the way and it was a typical year where 9 wins gets you in as that last ****ty wildcard team who gets beat right away...yes...it is conceivable that Fitz could lead us to that at best case scenario. That is basically the argument for Fitz. Also the offense is just built around what Fitz can do, there is no actual reason other than "we can't do it" that we don't have a more attacking passing game. In fact, if our WRs, crap as they may be, could take advantage of the field a little more and make the D fear a deep threat...they would play better especially Stevie and hopefully TJ. Also, w/ a bigger stronger QB Chandler would do much better. Bottom line, it's been over for quite some time. I will be absolutely disgusted if Fitz starts week 1 next year.

Congrats TC welcome to the club. Honestly it's not bad, it's actually nice after a while to be a numb bills fan. Just watch the game, see who plays well don't worry about winning or who plays bad, and enjoy the rest of the league. If you have something else to do, you can just go do it also. This is the way, the brave new way. Actually it's just the old way coming back, but it's better than what most of us were doing the first few games.

http://www.guardian....nium-enrichment Iran's state media has denied reports that Tehran had suspended the enrichment of uranium at 20% in a goodwill gesture ahead of talks with the world's major powers. "Twenty percent uranium enrichment activities continue as before and no change has happened," the semi-official Fars news agency quoted an unnamed source as saying on Sunday. On Saturday night, Iranian MP Mohammad Hassan Asafari was misquoted by opposition websites and the Saudi-owned al-Arabiya as saying that Tehran had already stopped 20% enrichment. Asafari had only signalled in his comments to Iran's Isna news agency that Iran would be ready to temporarily stop enrichment to 20% if sanctions were lifted. Asafari on Sunday stepped forward to clarify. "The 20% enrichment has not been and will not be halted in Iran," he insisted, according to the website of the state's English-language television, Press TV. Asafari is a member of the parliamentary committee on national security and foreign policy. "Yet … as announced previously, Tehran is ready to temporarily supply its need for 20%-enriched uranium for its 5-megawatt Tehran [Research] Reactor from abroad if the sanctions are lifted," he said. • This article was corrected on 4 November 2012. An earlier version of this story ran with the headline "Iran suspends uranium enrichment" based on Asafari's quotes as reported by al-Arabiya. Sanctions exacerbate Iranian political strife: http://www.telegraph...c-policies.html Ahmadinejad's conservative rivals in the 290-seat assembly have harshly criticised his handling of an economic crisis that they blame as much on his mismanagement as on Western sanctions aimed at derailing Iran's disputed nuclear programme. Economic problems have seen the Iranian rial plummet and oil exports dwindle, exacerbating divisions within Iran's factionalised political system, despite calls from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for officials to stop bickering. Last week, Khamenei renewed his demands for unity, saying public infighting amounted to a betrayal of the country. But the stern warning from Iran's most powerful leader has not stopped MPs hostile to Ahmadinejad from pressing ahead with a plan to question him publicly for a second time. On Sunday, according to a statement read in Parliament and printed by the parliamentary news agency, legislators said they planned to question Ahmadinejad on his administration's economic policies. Questions would focus on its response to the rial's fluctuations and what they said was the mistaken allocation of limited government-subsidised dollars, including for the import of thousands of foreign cars. The petition was signed by 77 MPs, Iranian news agencies reported, and will be delivered to the president later on Sunday. Ahmadinejad has one month to answer parliament's questions. If he ignores the summons or attends the session but fails to convince his questioners, parliament could try to impeach him. By law, Ahmadinejad is not allowed to run in a June presidential election, but there has been speculation he will try to extend his influence by backing a favoured candidate. The public questioning could be an attempt by rivals to weaken his standing ahead of the vote. Ahmadinejad has indicated he will use any public questioning to reveal "unspoken" facts that he has until now kept secret, Iranian legislator Hossein Ali Haji Deligani told the Mehr news agency in October. Deligani said that in a meeting with parliamentarians "Ahmadinejad was not at all worried or concerned about a public questioning of the president, and announced, 'I see the questioning of the president as an opportunity to state the unspoken in parliament,'" according to Mehr. In March, Ahmadinejad became the first president in the history of the Islamic Republic to be called before the legislature. During an hour-long session, he responded in a confident and flippant tone at times to questions about his economic record and his allegiance to Khamenei. In recent weeks, he has fired back at the judiciary and legislature, bringing into full public view a feud between himself and the powerful Larijani brothers, who include Ali, the parliament speaker, and Sadeq, the judiciary chief. In a letter to Sadeq Larijani published in October, Ahmadinejad said the judiciary had unjustly imprisoned his top press aide and that it was acting outside the bounds of Iran's constitution.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/nov/04/iran-suspend-uranium-enrichment Iran has suspended the enrichment of uranium stockpiles to the 20% purity needed to bring it a short step from building a nuclear device, news services in the region have reported. Mohammad Hossein Asfari, a member of parliament responsible for foreign policy and national security, was quoted as saying that the move was a "goodwill" gesture, aimed at softening Iran's position before a new round of scheduled talks with the United States after this week's presidential elections. Asfari said he hoped sanctions would be lifted in return for Iran's actions, otherwise it would resume the programme, according to a website belonging to the Al Arabiya news channel. Talks aimed at halting Iran's enrichment programme have made little progress, leading to the west tightening sanctions and increasing the prospect of military action by Israel. The Islamic republic's economy has plummeted in the grip of punitive economic measures and Tehran indicated earlier this month that it would be willing to negotiate. However, the offer to suspend enrichment required so many concessions that it was dismissed by the United States. Iran has a stockpile of 20% uranium weighing just over 90kg (200lb), according to an International Energy Agency watchdog report in August. Experts say between 200-250kg is needed for one nuclear device. Once uranium reaches 20% purity, it is close to becoming weapons grade. Experts have estimated it would take Iran another year to produce a warhead small enough to put on a missile. Tehran is said to have nearly completed a nuclear enrichment plan with the last of 3,000 uranium centrifuges installed at the underground site of Fordo, near the holy city of Qum. The machines were working at only half capacity, but the development was a crucial step in developing a nuclear device, the New York Times reported. Israel has drawn a "red line" in spring next year based on its own calculations, when it could launch a pre-emptive military strike to stop the programme. Iran has said it needs to refine uranium for civilian use, with the material converted to fuel rods used for medical isotopes to diagnose and treat illnesses.

Early Voting, did you do it? How long did you wait?
dayman replied to boyst's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Meh...honestly for most offices there's only a few things that interest me one way or the other. For instance I live at the beach...and I basically vote on parking issues for all local offices....little else matters to me. -

The Entitlement Mentality-Single Mom Tip Edition
dayman replied to DaveinElma's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I would respectfully disagree. Should the waitress know she is serving a single mother, she can then be sure to treat her badly and subtly shame her for her situation as society requires. So it's quite a tip. -

dayman replied to boyst's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
My girlfriend waited about a half hour today in Florida. Although she said rumors were that it was taking hours at other places... Personally I just sent the damn thing in by mail. I like to sit with it and research some of the judges and agriculture spots and fill in as I read then it just seems easier to mail it right then and there. I know there's a much greater chance it somehow isn't counted, but so be it. -

What, when I co-sign a loan, I have to pay it back?!?
dayman replied to Fezmid's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
There is never an absolute expectation of repayment. If they wanted, terms of the loan could be conditioned upon proof of insurance, it wasn't. What is the incentive to not make every loan on earth if there is no worry about if the people can pay? Once again, all I'm saying is my heart does not weep given these facts for the lender. -

I'm not arguing there is anything wrong with what you have just laid out. I'm simply saying, my heart does not weep for the lender here. Every time the don't borrow money you can't pay back comes out, there's the flip side to that... -

Of course. That said, from the info in her sob letter my heart does not weep for the lender under these circumstances....3rd loan, private loan (so obviously the fed wouldn't put up another for some reason), music production, dead. -

IDK about this one, seems fake certainly if that's what the /1 means how do you even do that? I'm no fiscal conservative when it comes to eating out ... but that is outrageous. Also...screw waiters that post checks online anyway. They should be tipped...but they should not go bitching by posting people's checks online most places (especially those where you can rack up a bill like that ) will fire you for that if they find out. -

dayman replied to Fezmid's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It's true. But there is a predatory aspect to much student loan activity ... this private loan... I don't know anything about it but I doubt it had the best terms and it was piling on after 2 other federal loans for music production co-signed by apparently an old lady that can't pay? Old lady is guilty for stupidity but you feel sorry for her loss and having wanted what she thought was good for her son (that doesn't mean she "deserves" anything necessarily). Bank? Nobody should feel sorry for the bank under any circumstances if they don't get their cash back. -

dayman replied to Oxrock's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
"Conservatives and libertarians don't be discouraged by moderate Mitt just vote for him anyway; Libya was Obama killing Americans and Obam/Romneycare is evil...just vote Mitt" hehe....either way though I do agree that if you are in a swing state and dislike Obama it will be stupid to vote Johnson EDIT: Although it is stupid to suggest any meaningful primary action against a President Romney in 2016 would mean anything and honestly on principle alone for those that truly do believe in Johnson they should just vote for him...two sides of this coin -
Electoral College Prediction Thread
dayman replied to dayman's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Well how you would use Clinton is one thing, but one way or another he has his role and it's head surrogate...I actually am in a rare point of agreement here that they can't overplay him and shouldn't worry about it but one way or another he is not going to be anything other than second fiddle and for reasonable reasons...so to just to look to where Big Bill is and say that means they're terrified just isn't reading the campaign right. That's all I'm saying. -
Electoral College Prediction Thread
dayman replied to dayman's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Clinton is in mop up mode though. He's been in Fla and Virginia lately and whatnot...Obama himself and sometimes Biden (although he's been in Fla a bit) hit the crucial swing states hard first with as much possible after that,,,but first priority for the actual ticket is Ohio, Iowa, etc.... Clinton is left to hit up Fla and virginia and apparently PA in these final moments to maintain a presence there and try and push when Obama is out in the areas he must lock up that may be at risk. Just saying...Clinton is what he is...valuable no doubt but to think that where Clinton is the last days means desperation is not accurate. At this point Clinton is gravy...
