  1. The Bruce "crowd" backs you up. It's 35+, some with young kids there. It looks like church, in jeans. That said,there's somethign to appreciating the message even if you're a generation removed. I was not part of the All-about-me-60s generation but the Who's "My Generation" still resonates. With respect to Bruce's "Working on a Dream," first, you can always be doing that. Second, he dips into an ethic and group that he's long since ceased to be part of when he writes but he still pulls it off. Like a good fiction writer.
  2. That the coaching staff has seen fit to bench in favor of the lesser RB Lynch.
  3. Last game he got a 15 yard dumbass penalty on special teams and ran a 5 yard out route on 3rd and 7. Sounds like a starter to me.
  4. Thanks for being stupid stupid. The "5 proofs" don't prove god. They prove that there are questions for which we don't have answers. Big difference.
  5. Sorry, I got my partisan shills mixed up. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...t&p=1629922
  6. Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd?
  7. You're obsessing over Bruce Springsteen's shirt choices and I'm the one in need of help?
  8. Where's the other link to the surveys? Still looking?
  9. Get in line. He's still looking for links to two surveys where 150000 people were surveyed that found 56% approve the health bill.
  10. What the !@#$ Queer Eye? It's a GD rock band!
  11. I ONLY use free shipping and never have this problem. Usually get my stuff in a week.
  12. In Philly at the last show at the Spectrum, some other chick played in her spot.
  13. Decades of billions of dollars in income. The NFL official line is still "We're looking into it." I don't care that much about the NFL. The small number of NFL players are men and they know what the deal is with their brains. I'm a lot more concerned about the huge numbers of kids who will grow up to dementia.
  14. Typing on a stone tablet? I like a 4 line post that needs a footnote.
  15. Happy to say it was a joke...but probably nevertheless true.
  16. You've obviously never seen a Facebook sex poll.
  17. I await the two 150,000 person poll results he cited.
  18. Encourage him play a million other great team sports where long term dementia is not only probable but highly likely if he plays for any length of time.
  19. MMA is the perfect model for how little people "needed" boxing. Helmets face a lot of obstacles. Big helmets would protect brains but necks can't support them. There is not likely a way to keep brains from getting rattled in football as long as the rules are the way they are. The WSJ article makes a good point that Auissie Rules Football has much of the same contact--minus the heads (except for inadvertent hits). It's one thing to say men can do what they want with their brains but it's sobering to see how the hits kids take drive their dementia rates through the roof. And the kids get 1/100th the medical attention of a college or NFL player.
  20. A few concussion and helmet articles recently highlight the growing concerns over brain dementia and football--no matter the level and no matter the head protection. Today's WSJ has this: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405...icle-outset-box This follows Malcolm Gladwell's sobering article on the link between playing football and dementia. It's not concussions that give you dementia, necessarily, it can just be all the hits. I rate this article as "must read" for parents of football kids. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/10...currentPage=all
  21. Bruce has been saying it for a while now.
  22. Mother!@#$er.
