  1. My college professor told me that the entire Southwest would run out of water by the year 2010 and be completely evacuated by 2015. He had this "fact" on his final exam. The only people still fooled by Climate Change are the ones too young to remember more than one doomsday prediction.
  2. Unfortunately, you have to throw out the reviews for all these SJW backed movies. Rotton Tomatos gave Ghostbusters a 100% rating the first few days before the real critics weighed in. The audience rating will be interesting.
  3. Prometheus was on network tv today and a group of us watched it. Didn't realize the crew were a bunch of idiots. Who sees an alien snake thing and tries to pet it?
  4. Typical. Would rather break in than earn it out in the wild.
  5. So you don't even understand your own map? That explains a lot. Liberals ARE disproportionately dependent on welfare, and you must have missed the whole CalExit debacle if you don't think Liberals are whining that they aren't getting their "fair share" of federal funds. (but I will apologize since you didn't personally whine about it, even if you did use the same manipulated data). I guess i wasn't being simple enough with my math. California has a budget of $1000 and gets 10$ in federal funds for 1% of their budget Mississippi has a budget of $100 and gets 8$ in federal funds for 8% of their budget. Now that I changed it so the states get different amounts of money, do you understand the concept? If you have some other way to explain your viewpoint, please let us know. You're entire argument is basically; "if you don't know then I won't tell you!" What does that map say to you?
  6. By your response, you seem to believe that an Obama phone should cost the same as a country road... ...also, you are trying to dodge your original argument that blue states spend less on welfare than red states. Because.. that map.
  7. So you understood nothing I wrote. I'll try to simplify. California has a state budget of $1 thousand per person (high cost of living). Mississippi has a state budget of $1 hundred per person (low cost of living) The government gives them both $10 dollars. That map would show that California only gets 1% while Mississippi gets 10% of their budget from federal funds; even though they get the exact same amount of money. Then Liberals complain that they don't get their fair share. get it now?
  8. Since Apple products don't check for viruses, how would you even know you were infected?
  9. Like the "wage gap" myth, the "federal funding" myth is a favorite among liberals (that has already been debunked), but continues to pop up now and then. It's statistical manipulation by taking the broad approach and ignoring the obvious. Why use total "total federal funding" instead of "welfare" or "food stamps"? Also note that it clarifies the cost as a % of the state budget instead of per capita.(and federal infrastructure funding is based on population, not cost of living, which is astronomical in blue states). Why so much statistical manipulation? Now look up the cost of WELFARE per capita for states. The top 10 are all Blue states with the exception of Alaska. Thus proving common sense; that the ones who like entitlements will vote for entitlements. It's not surprising that this information is so difficult to find, yet the federal funding map is spread like a virus. So the people in blue states are getting a lot more welfare money (sometimes 4X more), but the federal government's share of it still feels low. Why? A unintended consequence of higher minimum wages in these blue states, is that it raises costs of living so high, that it disqualifies them from federal aid, while keeping them (relatively) poor; which forces these states to cover a higher % of their population's welfare payments.
  10. I like it. Hope it catches on. Seriously, what guy actually wants to go school dances? Now boys have an excuse to skip it and go straight to the after-party. The best thing about feminism is finally being able to skip all the crap girls have forced guys to do for centuries.
  11. Linux users have the luxury of having no one to blame when hacked, and Apple has the policy of denying any problem exists at all. I would like to point out that the reason we got "the Fappening 2.0" in 2017 is because of celebrities continuing to believe the lies of Apple's safety. There is no such thing as safe computing. The only defense is to hope to blend in with the billions, or be a hermit.
  12. I'm expecting a few characters to die since their contracts are up, and Marvel has already replaced them in the comics books for diversity.
  13. The trailer ruined a few scenes in the GOTGv2 movie. I'm going to try to avoid watching trailers in the future. It was still good. I liked it better than the 1st one. They went overboard with the 80's music.
  14. Here's a question. Should you sing a song in it's original accent?
  15. Yes I do. For the names. Other things like "Guiness" or "taco" or "tomato" have different versions so I tend to say it the way the locals do. I slip into Southern in Texas and occasionally British in London. (I don't do it on purpose.) like this guy. He pronounces his name "My Cocaine". Or Saoirse Ronan -who pronounces her own name wrong, (says she gets corrected in Ireland), but you have to respect their interpretation.
  16. You should pronounce the proper name the way the person says it; accent and all. It's not meant for personal interpretation. For example. Bob Villa. -in the southwest his name is commonly pronounced "vee-ya", not "ViL-La" -but since he says it differently, you go with his version. What I do hate is when teachers asked what your name was in Spanish. This happened several times and I refused to go along with it. My name stays the same in every language! John is not Juan. George is not Jorge. Mary is not the same as Maria.
  17. If the school had only left him alone to deal drugs, instead of suspending him, Trayvon would have never have gotten shot.
  18. The use of therapy puppies violates the rights of cat-people.
  19. This is a must-see film for anyone interested in knowing the real issues; Left or Right. A feminist documentary: written, researched, and filmed by a self-proclaimed modern feminist.
  20. Patrick Mahomes will become a HOF quarterback because the Bills passed on him.
  21. We have a similar saying in my family; "Just because it's simple, doesn't mean it's easy." -usually referencing DIY home repair.
  22. Why so mean to trans-racial Americans?
  23. The San Diego Chargers traded 2nd round picks for next year's 1st's several times in the early 2000's.
  24. Mcdermott doesn't look like he's willing to allow it. Especially since his entire philosophy revolves around character issues. Maybe if Ralph was still owner of the team...
  25. He's also in his final year of the rookie contract and want's to be the highest paid lineman in football, despite the threat of suspension. There's a reason why he's only worth a low-round pick.
