Ghandi is a real prick.

Civ IV is an incredible game. I haven't tried V yet.

I would like to criticize this side show, but I'll probably watch it somewhere so I guess the jokes on me too.

My thoughts exactly. Keep your mouth shut and get some real schooling. Youth is wasted on the young.

Ya, that's the same one I got last year. Gets the job done and doesn't break the bank.

Pretty much how I feel.

Unflattering mugshot, but more than redeemed by the other two pictures. A "hell ya" for me.

I picked up a Honda HRR series mower last year when we bought our house. I live in the city and have a small lawn so it's perfect. Has mulch/bag options and is self propelled. So far has been great for me. Unfortunately doesn't have a push start for the significant other, but starts up easily for me every time.

A record number of women won seats...

Labour was in a better position to leverage the tragedies. Looks like it's working out for them.

It's for the most part a dead end in stopping an attack. You can't move until it's already happened. People can politicize this however they'd like, but unless you are prepared to eradicate an entire group of people, which of course you most certainly are not, there will continue to be religiously motivated murder by the perverted minds. I haven't heard a single good way to fight it apart from a lowering the "susceptible to brainwash" pool.

I hate the idea of regulating the internet floating around, it's completely absurd. As for certain online activities flagged, that's a different subject, but there are obvious issues with this and it probably happens already anyway. I just can't think of another way to preemptively stop an attack from a homegrown subject (which they nearly all are) short of banning an entire group from the country and waiting a couple decades.

Couldn't have said it better.

WTF do we even do? Seriously... I don't believe the travel ban would accomplish much fighting homegrown terror, although you can argue limiting immigration/refugees will have long term impacts. At this point I'm fine with the travel ban, but skeptical on how much it would do. I am fully supportive of targeted surveillance of online activities related to extremeism, but yes my initial reaction is to reject that due to a slippery slope argument. Some of you, I know, are vehemently against this. So to you...what do we do to fight extremists with a social security number? At least most are coming around to calling it what is is...radical ISLAMIC terror. Being a rational person, I of course know it's a tiny percentage of an entire religion, but fair or not the Islam community needs to lead the charge rooting this out.

Alright this is one of your better ones.

Pretty much any Kyle Orton picture floating around the internet.

Still holds the record for most receiving yards in a single playoff game. 1/2/99 against Miami 9 catches 240 yards

Self-accountability works both ways, it's the only point I am trying to make. Lacking in it is far from a leftist only condition.

That's complete ignorance of the situation. Coal carries more expensive upfront costs to start an operation and then is less efficient after the fact relative to Natural Gas. Political issues have sped the demise, but the market is coal's worst enemy. Coal has a place in metal works, but as a source for electrical production it's dead and those jobs won't come back. You can blame the Obama administration all you want, but doesn't change the fact that you have to find a different path. Being laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me, in hindsight of course. If I sat around pointing fingres I would have remained in my lousy situation. This administration fanning the flames by blaming the former administration and promising a resurgence in jobs of the past does a great disservice to those they are misleading.

Kathy is an idiot and was never funny. She deserves everything she is getting and more. But the self-accountability argument towards the "left" is what I'm taking issue with. The prevailing argument is the left still doesn't understand that disenfranchised America has rejected it for not caring about them. Coal as an example, is dying due to economic factors. As a rational human being, I would say a coal miner should recognize that and take personal responsibility to retrain (state/federal governments are providing avenues for this) and not blame people politically and lobby an administration to boost coal jobs. Yet this is usually glossed over when we speak of personal accountability, which is largely morphing into a buzz phrase fighting entitlements. Case in point...both sides like to play the blame game rather than looking into the mirror.

I would like LABillzFan's treatise on the self-accountability of coal miners.

I was born in 88 so I don't really have anything to fall back on. And people criticize my cynicism? Ya, you know where to put that. I don't really get excited for a new season anymore, but still go to the games. I hope when they are eventually good it wakes up the fire again I had as a teenager, but since the music city miracle I've graduated middle school, graduated high school, graduated college, started my career, moved away, moved back for a better job, and now am almost married. Hard to blame me for rolling my eyes when I hear "we're close."

Cleveland looked surprisingly flat, but I expect them to play a better game Sunday. You can't give Durant all that space or he will rip them apart.

lol "it ends today". Very melodramatic.
