  1. I would agree...but I also think most of our offense came when we were slinging the rock to overcome that...if we were close in all these games I think the numbers would be way down and don't have any reason to believe the performance at critical times would have been bette.r
  2. Contrary to what some sectors of the population have now convinced themselves...most Americans still expect that something like this is most likely to work towards its intended purpose as opposed to instill tyranny upon the daily lives of regular people. Discussion is healthy though.
  3. The answer is always a weighing of how likely you think it is this will be abused in all the ways anyone can imagine and how likely you think it is to help stop terrorist attacks.
  4. Not sure if his new statement has been posted yet: One week ago I left Hong Kong after it became clear that my freedom and safety were under threat for revealing the truth. My continued liberty has been owed to the efforts of friends new and old, family, and others who I have never met and probably never will. I trusted them with my life and they returned that trust with a faith in me for which I will always be thankful. On Thursday, President Obama declared before the world that he would not permit any diplomatic "wheeling and dealing" over my case. Yet now it is being reported that after promising not to do so, the President ordered his Vice President to pressure the leaders of nations from which I have requested protection to deny my asylum petitions. This kind of deception from a world leader is not justice, and neither is the extralegal penalty of exile. These are the old, bad tools of political aggression. Their purpose is to frighten, not me, but those who would come after me. For decades the United States of America have been one of the strongest defenders of the human right to seek asylum. Sadly, this right, laid out and voted for by the U.S. in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is now being rejected by the current government of my country. The Obama administration has now adopted the strategy of using citizenship as a weapon. Although I am convicted of nothing, it has unilaterally revoked my passport, leaving me a stateless person. Without any judicial order, the administration now seeks to stop me exercising a basic right. A right that belongs to everybody. The right to seek asylum. In the end the Obama administration is not afraid of whistleblowers like me, Bradley Manning or Thomas Drake. We are stateless, imprisoned, or powerless. No, the Obama administration is afraid of you. It is afraid of an informed, angry public demanding the constitutional government it was promised — and it should be. I am unbowed in my convictions and impressed at the efforts taken by so many. I know but I'm saying there is no evidence of this happening or that it could.
  5. How could they do this though?
  6. Whose fault is it her son looks like this?
  7. The Stratfordite said he “didn’t realize people would take it as offensive,” and he is not a member of any type of group associated with the flag.
  8. Somewhere Bman is waiting for me to throw his name in the mix. He shall wait no more.
  9. You forgot smokers
  10. Until we show we can, and will, HIT a deep threat if left unattended teams will still squat on us. Just having someone out there means nothing.
  11. BTW feel free to explain why with a post. At least one person just lost their house. I gave us 4-6. I think we'll look pretty good at times, but will have a long stretch where we struggle particularly out of the gate. Not sold on QB situation, can't buy into defensive hype until I see it with my own eyes, and the same is true of improved WR (have to see it).
  12. Don't try to put us down or lift us up, control your mind, and vote what you really think. Pretend you put your mortgage on the line.
  13. Or we could all just preach about the disadvantages/realities (whatever you want to call it) of young pregnancy, throw birth control and condoms around like bird feed, not have a problem with morning after pill....and just come to a cease fire at 5 or 6ish weeks on abortion...and reproduce in a way that creates the facade we are intelligent beings who know how to control our habit of spawning new beings? Or we could just argue about legs closed and dick in pants and god and life and generally pretend people are going have less sex and not more in teh future.
  14. Did you just concede PastaJoe and Hillary are smart people? Or was it just for the sake of making your point?
  15. Old Georgia lady. Famous cook. Has many shows, books, restaurants, probably cooking equipment, etc. Turns out she said the n-word. On at least one occasion made a remark about wanting to have a wedding with slave servants, or something similar to that idk the exact quote. All of this in private. Now we must destroy her.
  16. B-man do you even read posts or do you just start shooting out **** like a dog with diarrhea? Has one person in this thread said that Paula is receiving an appropriate level of public scolding?
  17. It wasn't too long ago I was in school and while social media is a contributing factor, the actual reason is that teachers have bailed. Unless you are in writing class, or perhaps an English class, teachers have stopped caring. It is too much trouble to try and incorporate any evaluation of writing into the grade. Walk into any classroom in America and if it is one of the few where you even have to write, it is graded for "content only." There is some decent reasoning behind it since the test is evaluating the subject the course teaches and not writing, and since there are time pressures in taking tests...but still...this is the reason. Kids write stuff all the time that is **** and get good grades if they said the correct thing in a retarded way. That is the real reason. You simply don't have to learn to be a good writer to succeed in school.
  18. It is humiliating and cringe worthy that she's 19, damn near illiterate, has no manners, can hardly speak English, and seems to have no education or understanding of society outside of her idiot friends. It's all cringe worthy and humiliating.
  19. You know who she is. The grandma from Georgia who *spoiler alert* said the n-word in private and at times made off color remarks about plantation era life. Get you act together you idiot, pretend to be surprised and act like this matters. Join the mob and reign down judgment and condemnation.
  20. Yes, it does. Thing is it doesn't really matter in school...students get out of school and most of them don't realize they cannot write until then. Also certain professions...law, journalism, pr/advertising...still have huge demand for good writers and still ask for samples from each job applicant. It probably is true though, that in certain areas...you can get by these days with pretty low ability.
  21. Martin would have been in a better spot than George if he killed because there is nothing showing he was in pursuit and he was not armed
  22. Prosecution just wants to make sure a judgment of acquittal doesn't take them down, give a strong closing, and let the jury decide potentially coming down on manslaughter assuming that's a lesser included...
  23. How dare you point out the obvious! You must be a liberal douche defending Baldwin personally! Either that or just a normal person who knows society lets train wrecks be train wrecks in most cases.
  24. Supposedly US ports need to get deeper for the next century of shipping...those that do this will gain an advantage holding newer bigger ships that come through deeper channels that will exist in the future...idk...start digging?
