  1. With years to plan an asymmetric campaign where by definition his strongest assets are mobility and concealment, and knowing that if he's cornered the entire world is coming down on his head, he goes and gets himself pinned down in a cabin with no escape?

     

    I'm disappointed. I thought Navy SEALS were trained better than that.

    Apparently Navy reservists aren't. Dorner was known to be a pretty literal guy, so maybe the cabin was asymmetrically L-shaped. Or maybe the asymmetric campaign he mentioned was all subterfuge and he intended to hide in a cabin all along. Pretty sneaky.

  2. Are you that channel trading guy from the infomercial??

     

    No one can guarentee $15k/ month on a million without touching principle, no one.

     

    Why you could turn 100k into a million in 14 years and retire for life too. 10k in 28 years...

    Madoff did, and he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids. Pretty sure California's pension funds assume an 18% annual return and a 1% discount rate too.

  3. I was living in this dump that I rented from a total prick. Place was falling apart. Hot water heater melted down, caused a small fire and knocked the heat out. Smelled like smoke for weeks. The douchebag landlord drops off these pitiful space heaters like thats going to help. I only had one window staring out at his crappy pickup truck which was parked on street for months, never moved. Total nightmare.

  4. If you guys are going to fight we're going to need you to disclose age, height, weight, and reach so we can appropriately take bets.

     

    Also, TYTT, it's only fair to warn you that RK is an athlete...well, he rides a bike. Don't think just because a guy sports spandex and calls you honey that he can't stomp your ass. Check this out:

    Its like watching two guys use their arms for the first time.

  5. With all the info thats come out, from the eyewitness accounts of MILLIONS all the way down the line, thats not good enough for you.

     

    Yeah, youre a real !@#$ing cynic.

     

    !@#$ing !@#$.....

     

    I say this with all sincerity...next time one of these things happen, I hope youre on the flight for a first row seat....you and the rest of your c-sucking piece of **** "cynic" friends.

     

    And if I get a posting vacation for writing this, it was worth it...just so I can tell a piece of garbage like yourself to go to hell.

    I'm happy it was your friends that died. I'm glad it caused you personal pain.

    I'm sensing a lot of frustration here. TYTT and Rk, perhaps if you two knew how your words were affecting each other we could find some common ground.

     

    TYTT, how does it make you feel when Rk wishes that you die in a terrorist attack or get beheaded with a dull pocket knife?

     

    Rk, when TYTT expresses joy that your friends and loved ones died on 9-11, how does that make you feel?

  6. The irish didn't come here looking for handouts, and trying to get on disability, or social security as fast as they could. They came here because there was nothing for them back home and came to work.

    The Irish came looking for a sliver of the American dream. A potato in every pot and a sheep in every bed.

  7. This is a most stupid comparison....Sanchez did play very well in the playoffs in those two seasons, but has regressed since then as the Jets have lost quality players at RB (Thomas Jones), OL, and WRs. On the other hand Flacco has blossomed and has improved his game every year. And if you are not aware, the Jets in spite of Sanchez's struggles gave him a 40M+ contract with close to 20M+ guaranteed money.

    Its not a comparison, its a statement. Your argument for Flacco was stupid. Thus my response.

     

    When Joe Cool was going 1-4 down the stretch, you would have been hard pressed to find anyone subscribing to your continual improvement, pay him like Brady argument.

  8. I think we need to discuss violence. It is the base root of it all.

    Violence is not the root of the victim mentality. Pick up a copy of Life at the Bottom for more comprehensive discussion. Here's a quick description.

     

    the twentieth century's intellectuals have provided members of the underclass with a battery of rationalizations by which they can shift the blame for their misery away from their actions and attitudes and can unleash their hatred of everyone who challenges their outlook

     

    One of the major subjects that the work revolves around is on the various worldviews (Weltanschauung) of individual people, societies, and the impositions of society on those within it. Dalrymple states further that "...everyone has a Weltanschauung, a worldview, whether he knows it or not...Their ideas make themselves manifest even in the language they use."[15] The example stated is the use of passive speech by "those who refuse to accept responsibility for their acts". The type of language that the underclass uses, according to Dalrymple, professes their own ideas and ideology about the world.[15]

    Another major related theme that expands upon this trend is the philosophy of social determinism held by those Dalrymple interviewed, and how the welfare state and the socialist tenets within it help feed this mindset. However, Dalrymple never directly accuses socialism and the welfare state in his essays, instead focusing on the beliefs and reasons for why the patients and inmates take the destructive actions that they did. This is expressed with determinism in that they believe that their actions must be based on their childhoods or the failure of society in the past to help them.[16][17] Those patients that Dalrymple speaks with "seem surprised and tell him that he's the first person they've ever talked to who suggests that they can change their lives for the better," further emphasizing the mindset in which their society has placed them.[18]

    An important subset to this deterministic theme, related to the original worldview idea as well, is the lack of personal responsibility that those in the underclass accept for their own actions. An example of this, which is repeated numerous times throughout the collection, is the statement, "The knife went in", in reference to the words of one of Dalrymple's patients who was in jail for murder. This sort of speech makes a person's actions seem like they are something separate from the person themselves and that they have no control over it.[19]

  9. TYTT's example of the Irish immigrants to this country. The Irish were very much victims and have in turned victimised back when obtaining power and social status. SameOldBills is right in what they said.

     

    Take a look @ AD's insistence that the lack of corporal punishment is the root of this problem. That is like treating the disease with what's causing the disease. Violence begets violence.

    Except that SOB said nothing pertaining to your rambling attempt at a point, TYTT's example is demonstrative of a group of people who did not claim to be victims or cling to a victim mentality, you've missed AD's point entirely and I'm not interested in explaining it to you and no one is discussing violence. Once again, what the !@#$ are you talking about?

  10. Yes, I am being over the top about totally open borders. The present system is already heavily favored to accept educated immigrants... How is that working?

     

    Honestly, who is to really define the word victim? Doesn't a victim lack control over their situation in many circumstances. How can a power structure define who's a victim and who's not? Quite a vicious circle this is.

    Take a breath, MDP. Had you understood any part of the original post it would be clear that we're discussing those who identify themselves as victims. People who refuse to take ownership of their situation in life. Those look to blame events past, present or even imaginary for their lot in life.

     

    As for the bolded bull ****, what part of your nonsense do you find circular?

  11. First you have to let them take away the menial work that others are doing... EVEN refusing to do, that would undermine your "No Mexicans Need Apply Sign." THEN, you have to let them work their way up into positions of civil service by forming gov't and gov't services. Anyway, we can send them off Afghanistan if you want... They probably wouldn't mind all this. Let's give it a shot!

    What the hell are you talking about?

  12. We've never had a border with Ireland so I don't see the similarities. Now if you want to suggest that all Mexican immigrants go through Ellis Island that's another story.

    I thought he was clamoring for the conscription of all Mexican immigrants so that yankee mexicans can go fight confederate mexicans. Either way I'm preparing a "No Mexicans Need Apply" sign which will look quite nice in the lobby of my office.

  13. See Jeremy Lin. A gay man who could play in the NFL would be a huge (richard) slap in the face to the effeminate gay man stereotype. I'm sure a rainbow glowstick company would pay top dollar for him to endorse their products.

    Its heart warming to see the boy who cried racism get in a few jokes at the expense of gays.

  14. :wallbash: :wallbash: It doesn't matter. The guy has taken his team to AFC Championships back-to-back years and to the SB this year and has won many playoff games. He can WIN GAMES for the team. How does it matter whether he is same as Brady or Manning etc. He can make the CLUTCH throws and keep his team in the game for a full 60 minutes...And BTW, the teams that he beat on the way to the SB, Mannings Broncos and Brady's Patriots...

     

    You pay 20M if you want a Franchise QB.....Simple....Or you have to get the Top pick of the draft to get your choice...

    So did Mark Sanchez.

  15. if we could see what the points were for instead of unknown that would help IMO. i originally posted on here in favor of simon "laying down the law" as everything he said appears valid in regards to the simon vs devnull bout. my first 3 points are for unknown(i presently have 4), first being issued by simon so i guess i can't voice support for the po po that got me also. i think i called gailey a bad name if that is "pointable"

     

    to all the mods i love this site, but in order to obey the law we have to know what law was broken. my forth point is detailed why and although i don't neccesarily agree (i think something was lost in translation) I do understand what its for and am fine with that.

    You are highly confused.

  16. Sure Cordy Glenn is playing well, but what of the other side? Yes they have a need at QB, but why eat Spam when you can have steak later. Next years class gives you a better chance of getting that "franchise" QB we are looking for. If we continue to draft top talented players instead of reaching for a position of need (remember Losman) we will continue to spin our wheels.

    I'll answer your question with a question. Why eat steak later when you can get rack of lamb to go? And why eat rack of lamb in your car when you can have seared foie gras on brioche with cherry gastrique? If not now, when? If not a QB then who?

  17. I don't think aging super stars and first ballot hall of famers are looking to get in on the ground floor of a turnaround on a team entering its 13th year of rebuilding, with a rookie head coach, offensive coordinator and no QB. Typically, people with Randy's resume and only a year or two left try to sign with super bowl contenders, like the 49ers or the Patriots.
