Err...that I think it's a definite possibility the Bills use the #8 pick on a safety. I'm missing your confusion.

It could really be Vaccaro. I think they really wanted Barron last year, but with all the movement in the top 10, they didn't get him.

Milliner, Rhodes, or Vaccaro at 8. And then this board will crash.

I've heard several talking heads/experts on TV say for a while now that Barkley won't get past Arizona. We'll see.

Mechatronics Engineer? There were no girls half as good looking as her on her worst day in any of my engineering classes. Hell, there were several semesters there were no girls whatsoever in any of my classes.

II don't think the DNC had any intention of paying this money back when they took it. Whether Duke knew that going in, I have no idea. But if you're Duke, you could sue them in an expensive case to try to get the money back, but why do that when you do have a financial obligation to shareholders, and can easily write it off at no additional expense to yourself? The DNC gamed the system in a way that they had a good chance of getting away with. Is it illegal to take the money? No. Is it illegal to not pay it back? I guess only if Duke sues them for it. It completely flies in the face of campaign finance "fairness" that the Dems regularly bash the Republicans for, but hey, let's not talk about that.

And people say Dems and Repubs can't work together.

I think Tom summed it up.

Here's a helpful article: http://deadspin.com/5924827/american-baby-names-are-somehow-getting-even-worse

Wasn't this the same 'logic' that was used on Schobel? Weren't we then begging for someone to have his production after he retired? Now we have someone with better production and we are back to bitching.

If that's all Dr D is arguing, sure he's correct, he's just having an argument by himself. I don't think anyone is arguing it's not a disorder. At least I'm not. I'm mostly agreeing with your statement that diagnosing a mental disorder in a kid this young is a silly pursuit. I think it's damn near impossible in this case due to the age of the kid and the complexity of this disorder. You can ask a kid that age all the questions you want in whatever fashion you want, but the kid is still limited in how they express themselves verbally. Especially when they can't possibly understand the problem. Observing symptoms of gender confusion in a kid that age is one thing. Being able to accurately predict if the child actually has the disorder, and whether the disorder will persist into adulthood is another entirely. But hey, whether the gender confusion is real or not for this 5 year old, and whether it persists or not, as the kid grows up the years of being made fun of for the parents battling the school over the bathroom the kid uses is going to be plenty real.

You should probably stop talking at any point. Because apparently the newspaper articles you read aren't helping you understand reality.

You apparently have no clue about the reality of children.

A child young enough to first start expressing themselves has no idea what identifying as a girl or identifying as a boy is. That's all the parent/s. Most kids 5 and under identify boys and girls based on their looks and the sound of their voices. As they get into the pre-k age they start to identify things such as girls like pink and boys like blue. Some of that is based on learned stereotypes we teach them. But I guarantee you that a boy that age will play with a doll (or any other "girl" toy) just as quick as a girl, and a girl will play with a truck (or any other "boy") toy just as quickly as a boy. There's not a problem with any of that. It only becomes a problem when that kid is being raised by idiots. That's not something a kid 5 or younger will ever feel on their own.

Then those powerful men did a ****ty job of suppressing Tesla's research.

So utilities today use Edison's system?

Run through your logic from renewable energy to Tesla to gov't suppressing technology once more and try to figure out where you stopped making sense. Here's a hint: Your initial premise on renewable energy is totally off base

Mortal Kombat Annihilation

Your stories about Tesla aren't what's making you an idiot in this thread.

You're an idiot.

You either have no idea what you're talking about or you are just trolling at this point.

If people actually knew anything about the electric infrastructure, regulation, and rates, they wouldn't say stupid things like:

Apparently it also makes you defensive...

lol
