This is what happens when people feel like they have no hope under the current system. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/09/18/st-louis-officers-chant-whose-streets-our-streets-while-arresting-protesters-against-police-killing/ So the judge made a public proclamation...

Not to be a buzzkill but drinking this shit is a sure-fire way to end up with diabetes by the time you're 50. Diet soda is no better. If you're going to drink soda, drink either sparkling water (aka club soda) or something sweetened with Stevia....like Zevia. https://www.zevia.com/ On point...

Thanks Bodie. I'm not buying any references to USC's injuries about what happened last night. Texas has had more than its share of them as well this season and depth is really the true gauge of teams' strength so throw that stuff out the window. I don't think SC was prepared for what they saw...

There was never a better time or reason to boycott Facebook. Greed apparently continues to have zero conscience (which is one of the most serious flaws with the capitalist system in my view). I personally never liked that weasely little fuck Zuckerberg anyway so this is just further...

Oh my yes!!

My old hometown is fast becoming the very acute epicenter of the serious racial divide that is presently consuming our nation. I am not completely familiar with all aspects of this case or what the judge's justifications for the ruling were but it would seem at first glance to be a serious...

I'd be pretty much of the same mindset. His personal history is rife with racist overtones. I'd tend to concur with these opinions in general. He's got a serious personal history of prejudicial statements and actions...

Yeah.... there are some in Hollywood and elsewhere who are hypocritical on this issue so therefore the issue itself becomes invalidated. Logical conclusion, right? :rolleyes: :dunno: :rolleyes:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Mayhem again. My question is actually a mistake (yes, I am capable of making them on rare occasions! ;) :1orglaugh) and a common misconception on my behalf actually although, technically, he wasn't specifically "killed" in all of these...

She just oozes seduction.

Indeed. The parallels are pretty striking. My avatar pic is seriously dated in fact. He doesn't even remotely resemble the fresh-faced kid he was when he broke on the scene back in the mid-80s. Heroin....geezus. :eek: Never thought of that one! Yeah he is best known in Nashville for...

Goodbye and fare the well, Cassini....and what a fitting end to kiss the planet that consumed its life while it existed.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Dino Velvet again. It is indeed Steve Earle. Bully for you for figuring it out! He's a life-hero of mine. I love his music, his beliefs and his story. He is the original Hardcore Troubadour. Read his book by the same name and...

They can indeed fire you for what you say, but not just anything. If I state that, oh let's just say that FDR was a terrific president and I get fired for it, I think I might have a legal gripe. By the same token if I tell the boss that I'd like to fuck his daughter, I think that would...

So....private companies can take away your first amendment rights then? I thought Hill was free to speak her mind. Which way is it?

OK. Why weren't these gentlemen granted the same right if this were true then? https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/21/sports/baseball/curt-schilling-is-fired-by-espn.html http://theweek.com/articles/481146/hank-williams-jr-fired-over-obamahitler-rant-did-espn-overreact Oh....so if you're warned...

I'd say Curt Schilling might have a potential lawsuit to file if they don't. Hell, maybe even ol' Bocephus will sue them too. I'm no lawyer though so just a layman's guess.

I caught what you initially wrote before you quickly altered it. You think that kind of crap bothers me? You know, it's entirely possible that I might outlive you, fox. I frankly don't sit around worrying about it....certainly not nearly as much as you apparently do. Read what I posted...

For her tweets that called President Trump a "white supremacist"? I say "yes" she should....and so does the White House. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/09/12/espn-scolds-host-jemele-hill-for-calling-president-trump-a-white-supremacist-on-twitter/?utm_term=.4e1c3040abb8...

Typical Trumpian rhetoric bound to resonate with his shrinking base but few others. In much the same manner as other complex issues that are largely misunderstood by the average citizen (crime, drugs, health care, foreign affairs etc) his knee-jerk reaction is to suggest extremely simplistic...

I do like some of his later work. The Shootist is one of my favs to be honest. Brannigan was good....Tom Donovan in England in the late 60s. Two of his greatest non-western works are The Quiet Man and Sands of Iwo Jima (even though it was, in reality, a shameless propaganda movie). Trivia...

:thumbsup: :rofl2: :1orglaugh Poor Kellyanne will never live that one down.

Maybe he could toss Paul Manafort out the window instead. It sure won't be golden-boy Jared.

Now see you are equating "the left" with true liberalism and perhaps it is a matter of semantics here but I consider those positions to be extremist, not true liberal. Just like I don't consider the new Trump-style neo-populist nationalist model to represent true conservatism....which is the...

Thanks Dino. Strictly subjective so please bear this in mind. Also, I am grading the films, not Wayne himself. In all candor, I don't think he was an outstanding actor, certainly not Eastwood's mold as it applies to character adaptation. He does, however, exude an incredible presence in any...

What a crock of shit

Honestly, this is like comparing Ty Cobb and Pete Rose as baseball players. There were so many marked differences in the eras in which the two were top-tier box office attractions and they were both such outstanding performers that the contrast between them becomes a bit muddled. I absolutely...

Interesting. I'm not a fan of Clinton at all and, admittedly, have not read the book. However, the quote I have seen referenced in relation to this topic is this one: Now, how someone can interpret this as meaning that we should trust the government is lost on me. Then again, not having...

The SCOTUS has voted to uphold President Trump's travel ban on refugees seeking asylum in the US. The ban affects six predominantly Muslim countries: Iraq, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen. The single-page decision was issued without comment and there was no initial indication regarding...

Let's face it. At the end of the day, she's simply trying to sell books. What's the old saying??? "Just spell my name right"??? LOL In fact, she'll be doing just that on Rachel Maddow Thursday night at 9 eastern.

Oh, right then. Well, shows you how much I know about it. Anyway, good for you if you do this. I think it would be a terrific enterprise if done properly. :thumbsup:

Yes....and just the very posting of a thread like this smacks of a "Have you stopped beating your wife?" style of question. Like I would consider posting a "Are Conservatives Inherently Closed-Minded?" topic hoping to get some typical knee-jerk reactions just because I could. Sort of like...

Always loved the score from The Natural....Randy Newman's masterpiece. There's just something magical about it.

Have you considered adding an aquaculture element to this, mongo? I've been told that the two practices are quite symbiotic since the fish add CO2, nitrogen, phosphorous and ammonia while the plants add O2 to the water.

A really good tip to prevent kidney stones is to drink cranberry juice or, better yet, a cranberry fruit supplement on a daily basis. Doing so keeps the pH levels inside your urinary track low and discourages the precipitation of calcium (which is the element that comprises a kidney stone)...

Yes well I think we all know it really depends on what "mood" he is in at the time of any writing in question.

I think it's far too early to even speculate on what the political climate will be in the months leading up to the 2020 election. Could Booker beat Trump? Sure he could when framed against the question of possibility. How probable it is remains to be seen for certain.

I didn't repeat it concerning FDR specifically because it's the same rebuttal for him and every other American public figure who didn't fight to keep slavery a permanent institution and participate in open rebellion against the United States. If that's vague to you then perhaps you are simply...

We've been through this already, fox. You really wanna do this again? :dunno:

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Too much!

How disparate and yet completely inline with the guiding principle (an oxymoron if there ever was one) of a nonpareil capitalistic organization like the NFL (translation: greed) it is to unofficially deny employment to an athlete whose only transgression is to publicly exercise his...

Gore has all the charisma of a cold bowl of oatmeal. Charisma is difficult to define exactly but it's easy to spot when it's real. Not that many people, much less presidents, have it. JFK had charisma. I can't really think of another president in my lifetime that possessed it to any...

You can refer back to any one of a number of threads on this subject and find responses from me and others on the issue of what divides those who fought for the confederacy and those who didn't. If you refuse to believe those explanations that's fine with me but I'm not rehashing this again...

Re-reading what I wrote....please allow me clarify my reference to "fake" as it applies to Limbaugh's remarks. I don't mean "fake" as in content but rather fake as in intent, as if the aim of the media was to achieve a hidden agenda consistent with his assertions and that was above and beyond...

OK. The term is sensationalism and is most certainly nothing new. Go back to the late 19th century and the early 20th when the propagation of yellow and tabloid journalism were at their zenith and you'll find a perversion of events on a scale way beyond what we see today. When I say this...

Don't drink his kool-aid, Elwood my friend. Oh wait....don't look now....here comes Hurricane Jose!!!! http://www.miamiherald.com/news/weather/hurricane/article172658901.html Yeah. Mass hysteria to control the masses. Terrorism, really. Sell more bottled water. Right. :rolleyes: If...

There are so many great one but, for me, when Texas fans rise and sing The Eyes of Texas" at the OU-Texas Red River Shootout (I know, the politically-correct title is Rivalry so pardon me) it gives me goosebumps. No prouder time to be a Texan!

OK I can't let this go. They "overhype it" as you say because they want people to take to seriously in case the results of the hurricane (or other emergency) are catastrophic. You don't understand this? THANK GOD Irma didn't do what they feared it would. Local, state and federal officials...

:goodpost: What he said. My family was in harm's way with this storm, MP. Show some class, OK?

Thanks my friend! They lucked out....this time. :thumbsup:
