POTW!! Tolerance, acceptance and respect for others....just imagine. ;)

This kind of stuff just keeps happening. Witness the Freddy Gray case that has just exploded in Baltimore over the weekend: Source and videos here: http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/20/us/baltimore-freddie-gray-death/

That's good to know. Again, just so you are aware, such a practice is expressly prohibited in publicly-funded schools in the USA by the first amendment to the Bill of Rights of the US constitution.

No he isn't and no it doesn't. Sorry but just because either of you make a statement indicating otherwise doesn't change the facts. Consider these SCOTUS rulings on the subject over the years: http://www.oyez.org/cases/1940-1949/1947/1947_90 http://www.oyez.org/cases/1960-1969/1961/1961_468...

No, it makes you perceptive. Dude's got some serious self-esteem issues, really.

No other guesses? Well, I suppose we can use process of elimination..... Who would it NOT be for sure? No way would it be the Cardinals (are you kidding?), Cubs (are you kidding again?), Mets (not leaving Queens, no way), Reds (heyday of the Big Red Machine) or Dodgers (midst of the O'Malley...

Licensing requirements in Texas are perhaps a bit different than where you live, Sabrina. Many licenses require proof of CE credits and possibly even testing in order to qualify. You don't just go down to the tax office pay a fee to become a licensed contractor. Otherwise, there would be no...

A lot of these are typically just easy money-grabs for state or local governments to stuff their coffers. Some requirements are really stupid (the shampooer for instance). However, I hope this doesn't swing the pendulum too far the other direction. There are definitely certain jobs and trades...

And you call yourself a constitutionalist? The constitution is a whole document....you can't choose to ignore the aspects of it that you don't like. This is extremely simple....it is unconstitutional for a public school to allow a preacher of ANY religious doctrine (including Christianity...

LOL....thanks for rep for giving the wrong answer!

Wow....I don't remember that. There were only 12 teams in each league back then....and that was the same year the Olympics were in Montreal, right? I'm gonna guess it was the Expos before the Big O was built. Total wild guess....just can't imagine who else it would have been.

That's it! Your turn, bbv....

Ha ha....GOTCHA!!! Some "source" huh? (and I'm no Hillary fan by any means). Nice one, supa! :thumbsup:

I don't disagree but it works the same way with Fox (or with any of the vitriolic radio talk shows) the other direction. It's very difficult to find unbiased hard news since those who run the media are ultimately owned by the same evil entities who seek to keep us so busy arguing with each...

We'll see what the addition of McDavid does for Edmonton. Hall, Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov haven't exactly moved the needle much but I think McDavid is a premium prospect head-and-shoulders above the other three so we'll see what happens. He should be a great centerpiece around which to build...

Wrigley is correct....Busch is not. One left. Good job guys......really!

Fenway, Dodger, Camden Yards, Yankee, Kauffman, Oakland Coliseum & Turner Field are all correct. There are actually 2 others left unnamed (if only I could count....sorry). Good job so far! BTW, Texas is Global Life Park, Cleveland is Progressive Field.

This is an excellent example. 2011's version of Sam Peckinpah's classic from 1971, Straw Dogs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCrwSCHC6n8 Or just about anything from Wes Craven. Like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR4qYK6W0eU

It was indeed! Great job! Next question.....8 of the existing 30 stadiums in MLB are not named from corporate sponsorships. Name them.

I understand you are expressing feelings rather than purporting what you say to be the absolute truth so please carry on. I'm simply pointing out that there is no room within the law for supposition or speculation without corroboration.

I disagree. If I am already predisposed into believing something to be true, what may seem "highly improbable" to you might seem "highly probable" to me. It's a matter of perception, not reality, and is a tendency that is common to both sides of the political spectrum IMO.

A reminder for concerned conservatives and liberals alike to band to together and oppose President Obama's sell-out to the big multinational corporations with his desire to "fast-track" this secretive and vile proposed agreement. Just say "NO" to the TPP!!!

Let's face it, people tend to look for validation of their already predisposed notions rather than to seek the actual truth. Liberals do the same thing.

It doesn't matter what you "feel", Whit, it matters what's legal. Do you believe in the constitution? And of course the media covers it. That's their job.

Thanks for the rep!

Sorry, but no way can you make this kind of statement with absolute certainty.

Great job, Bob! Ruth, Gehrig, Foxx, Simmons in that order. Who was the last superstar victim?

Jimmy Foxx and Babe Ruth are two of them yes (not in order however although Ruth was the first). Also not sure if they were all Ks or backward-Ks but I'm guessing it was a mix. Good start....there were 3 more. One should be super-easy. The other two, not so.

No guesses? Man....this thread is dying an agonizing death (much like this forum in general). :******:

Not exactly the same in my book. When you buy bottled water, you are paying for something that you already have. Either marketing hype or laziness encourages us to buy the prepackaged stuff instead of pouring it from our own spigot. Same thing with those stupid plastic Keurig individual...

"Free to get out"....what the hell does that say about Staten Island?? LOL

You'll land a lot quicker if the main engine fails, Bob! Still, living where you do, might be worth the risk. :eek: Get a paramotor instead is my advice. Slower but much, much safer. And still avoids traffic and tolls! What is the Verrazano now? Like $10??

They (and many other companies just like them) may be greedy but the people who buy the stuff are fucking stupid. Please....everyone....***** PWS-treated tap water and use a carbon-activated filter (there are a number of them on the market that can be procured almost anywhere) if you don't want...

I was going to make some Jewish/**** analogy but thought better of it. Funny how making light of the Holocaust is ***** yet the Israeli government (emphasis on the word government) feels like they can ***** and mistreat Arabs with impugnity. I support Israel, but I don't support this...

Sad but undoubtedly true. Interesting that we somehow place more value on some lives than others....after all, we're all human.

LOL...yeah, a bit redundant, eh? :1orglaugh

That some 61-year-old postal worker from Tampa was able to penetrate a no-fly zone and land a gyrocopter at the US Capitol building without even being challenged just goes to show how totally vulnerable we are to terrorist ******. :eek: I say he is crazy because anyone who flies a gyrocopter...

I'd say your friend has serious misogynist tendencies and needs to get over himself.

We're not debating "wech/welsch" but hey sorry for hijacking this thread. It's just some playful jousting between BC and meself. Carry on....sorry for the digression. Christie at 3-1? Wow....I will be anxious to see if and when he runs and how that plays. He's an intriguing candidate...

Touche'. Irregardless ;), the specific reference to "welshing" pertains to a penchant that was perceived in days of old attributed to those from Wales, the Welsh. Hence, the term "welshing" or "to welsh" on a bet. Frankly, I've heard it used the way you did more frequently than the...

Not to play semantics or pretend that I am being a bitch/prick/asshole (although you might think so anyway) in this regard but, since you have made this reference a couple of times in recent days, be aware that the generally accepted term for backing out on a bet is to welsh, not "welch". Welch...

I don't see him (at least at this point) as a teabagger. He's more of a neocon from my view. Regardless, you may be right. The superficial stuff may outweight any real substance when it comes to voters. That's how shallow a lot of this is. To quote Jackson Browne...."It's who you look...

Historic is the word that comes to mind. He broke many a Masters record enroute to his wire-to-wire victory, including the lowest posted score at any point in the event (-19). The young man is class personified....and his cool under fire is unreal. His short game is as good as I've ever seen...

Thanks for the rep, Johan. Don't let the right-wingers discourage you from speaking you mind. They claim to represent American values yet when someone like you wants to exercise their right of free speech, the denigrate him by calling him a "foreigner" and claim he has no business commenting...

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" - Edmund Burke

LOL. Yeah, that's why snowpack levels in the Sierras were down to 6% of normal on March 1....that goddamned Jerry Brown and some insignificant fish. Damn them both to hell!!

Scott was not a criminal (unless you consider driving with burned-out tail light a criminal offense). True, he ran because he thought there was a bench warrant out on him for overdue ***** support (there wasn't) but there is no hard evidence to label him a "criminal" (maybe "really fucking...

I finally looked up the Bert Campaneris and several of us were correct. Cesar Tovar and Scott Sheldon did it in the AL, Jose Oquendo in the NL. Next question.... In the 1934 all-star game, NY Giants pitcher Carl Hubbell struck out 5 consecutive future Hall-of-Famers. Name them (bonus points...

This is correct. You cannot use deadly ***** against someone whose only intent it to escape. Still, in today's world, it appears that this message has somehow become lost on certain *************** entities and individuals. My advice to anyone who is being detained by a police officer for...

How do you mistake a taser for a service ********? Maybe the old man panicked but the "fuck your breath" comment sent a chill up my spine.
