Haha my post was clearly directed at the stereotyping of all police, not any comments about this particular incident (which was bizarre and for which there is no excuse). In any event, there a a lot of good police out there. There are also fairly low standards to become a low level policeman and there are a lot of people who wear the badge that shouldn't...but it's not the highest paying gig and it can be dangerous so that's just reality.

Agreed. Read an article saying they have a total of 4 original programming releases this year, and that amazon has ordered 11 pilots looking to start doing the same. It's going break down tv pretty quickly IMO and soon we'll be able to just buy what we want...excellent news. Bottom line is netflix is affordable and gives us what we want, when we want it (provided they can get a license of course). I LOVE the way they just put the season out and don't bother making us wait, we can watch on our own terms. They actually provide content as if we are customers and not hostages. It's great. Oh and ya I find it great as well. Watched one every night last week and watched a ton this weekend. 2 left probably finish by end of tonight...

The police are definitely sketched out by this guy. They're freaking... In any event...sort of strange to see such open hate for all police in this thread and tying this into an anti-gun control topic along with making it partisan. Just affirms why this board is at times entertaining but also completely pathetic most of the time...

Netflix has an original series called "House of Cards." Kevin Spacey as majority whip....very good...unless you don't like tv I would suggest that if you frequent this board this would be very entertaining to you. It's a netflix original so they put it out just like they do everything else..a season a time. You could subscribe for 1 month for about 10 bucks and watch the whole season and then cancel. It would be worth it. Give it a shot if it sounds interesting.

Personally I don't like throwing money down the toilet...I do like the buffet though

Don't know if this made it in any of the threads yet...if not: http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/020413_DOJ_White_Paper.pdf

The question of urgency stands, which one should we burn more calories on today? The answer is obvious. The point is good. And Washington should listen. Especially since there is such gridlock over the future budget...that makes it all the more obvious that it's time to take a momentary break from the constant budget debate and talk bout immediate actions to spur growth...

I really don't get calingl him a partisan hack. I mean, he's clearly a democrat...but whatever you may think of his economic analysis he's an economist and he believes it. Just to call him a partisan hack and brush off what he says as partisan hackery said to promote the democrats...not really all that true he's been critical when they don't do things he thinks they should do....

My father savagely beat me with an aluminum baseball bat for loving a man. I am now straight.

there is no sovereign country between us and Iran if we take the right path..our Iranian neighbors are a threat to our border imo

So technically all countries share a border so long as they have access to a river that flows out to the sea...hehe

lol...we're really doing this argument...nice

While I could agree that New England Clam Chowder is objectively a better tasting soup and one I enjoy very much, I order Broccoli and Cheddar more often than any other soup. The least frequently ordered soup that I would rank top 5, would have to be French Onion. Italian Wedding is the worst commonly available soup.

When I make the kill list

It's a big complicated world we live in guys, as nice as it is to imagine a world where there very simple rules and nobody would need a lawyer, fact is...it could never exist. Not to say there isn't a discouraging amount of legal work in existence today, but no matter what you do it would just turn into this again eventually...and yes obviously a number of things could be made easier (tax law the most obvious example) just talking about the system as a whole...

not too many people are all that worried about a few homophobic states...marriage/relationships factor into federal policy...blah blah blah....

To slash or not to slash...that is the question of our age... hehe

I can read and I'm just asking...

States don't address citizenship ...

So wait do you guys want to slash spending right now or not...getting a little confusing in here....

Well the system absolutely should favor educated people...the problem is we don't let enough of them in and it takes forever. And also, we have some stupid rule about equal number from various countries when an overwhelming number of the best immigrants come from just a few such as India.

I mean, there isn't an official plan/no official language yet but general speaking that's basically the plan. Nobody is talking about a fast track...except maybe for the kids (and even that isn't clear)

lol either way dude it's a different time we need to fix up the system so we actually have one... but the main thing we want is some nice young STEM educated immigrants...we don't need to just open the border....

Feel free to explain to me, or link a public speaking engagement (of which she has many and many of which I've seen) where she's really, truly, contributing to the debate in the country. Please, if there's something I've missed and she's a valuable contributor to our society...let me know...I will view with an open mind.

I 100% believe it personally and completely...in private...I disrespect anyone who truly believes it isn't true. That said...I'm content to leave it at that...I have no desire to to get into detailed bashing of Palin or defending of Biden but as far as I'm concerned anyone who knows/follows politics beyond the absolute (and I mean absolute) surface understands why I say this even if they hate Biden and all Dems...
