you were there and know the true story? if not, then explain how you know it was an inaccurate headline, and also how you know she's using sexual orientation to gain leverage in a money grab. I'm not saying you're wrong, just curious how you seem to know so much about the situation.

Huh? This really doesn't make sense to me. A) your analogy would make it seem that our country was in perfect shape when Obama came into office, which it was not (I'd have a hard time saying it was even in decent shape). B ) your analogy would make it seem that our country is in terrible shape now, which again it isn't. I don't think Obama has been good for our country, but that doesn't change the fact that things weren't good already when he took over, or the fact that all of the predictions that he was going to destroy our country aren't accurate either.

I have no issues with marijuana being legalized, as it's no worse than alcohol. But I do have a problem with it being bought with food stamps, loophole or not.

The problem being if it came out, it was going to be a big deal. At least he was able to do it on his own terms.

Shovel is right about Sam being undersized for his position, but he's a very talented player.  Jerry may have had some ulterior motives in picking him up, but realistically Sam is likely good enough to play for the Cowboys this year, and the position he plays fits into their general defensive scheme.  I personally don't care what his sexual orientation is, nor do I care that he chose to tell the world.  As long as his play on the field is judged by his ability, he'll be given a fair shake.  if he can't cut it, then he shouldn't be given extra chances because he's gay.  on the flipside of that, if he can cut it, he shouldn't be given less chances because he's gay.  we'll see what happens.

I think that most people understand that a very high percentage (proportional to the general population) of professional female athletes are gay.  It's not a shock when we find out that another one is. 

The problem is not that the busses have been cut, but that the money was spent to provide them to begin with.  Most districts do not provide these services.  My mom was a single mother who worked nights, but I never missed an afterschool basketball practice, and I never got stuck at school without a ride home, despite the fact that I lived a good ten miles from my middle school and 7 or 8 from my high school.  family and the community should be able to make it work for a kid.  there's no reason, especially in Beaumont where most kids live reasonably close to their school, that a teammate or teammate's parent can't get another kid home after a game or practice. 

Tebow put up some of the worst numbers in history. Sam had decent numbers in a handful of games. Tebow's team won in spite of him, not because of him.

To be fair, Sam did better in preseason (pretty decent) than Tebow did at any time in his pro career.  to be even fairer, Tebow fans imagined most of the criticism he took for expressing his Christian views.  there were a few people who complained, but the majority of people who said he was criticized for his Christianity actually ignored the fact that he sucked.  Then when people said he sucked, they blamed the criticism on his Christianity, rather than the fact that he was a terrible QB.    I will say that I agree that Sam is getting way too much media coverage for a player that was cut from the roster and can't even find a practice team, but like it or not, he's not an ordinary player, and the interest in his career is well above average.  he's getting more attention than he deserves (not unlike Tebow) because he lives a lifestyle much different from the average NFL player (not unlike Tebow).

haha, a typo.  i was in a hurry.

also worth noting, i asked for and received extra proof since making that last post. 

Nash, ECO has sent me some information that leads me to believe that he is telling the truth about managing a multibillion dollar portfolio.  He wishes to remain anonymous on this board, which i suppose is fairly understandable with all of the people he's hacked off.  That being said, I have zero opinion in y'alls pissing contest, as i have little to no clue about what either one of you is talking about.

Sure does. But when I cut my back field, it doesn't mean I'm working my job.

Our school went from 23 to 12.

President bush took 77 trips to his Crawford ranch, at one point staying for 5 weeks straight. He racked up 879 days of vacation while Obama is around 150. Obama generally plays once a week, I'm sure on a closed course, so he probably zips through in a couple of hours. I don't really see the point here.

Bahahahahaha!

In my opinion? Not much different. There was speculation and then protests and riots before the police had to time to do much of anything.

I saw one report that stated there are TWELVE Witnesses backing the cop's story, and another stating he had a fractured orbital bone.

This of course being the tape with the clerk trying to stop him from exiting the store with a box of "rellos", is it not?

That didn't last long...

If that's the case, I'm not sure where the outrage should come from.

Was Wagner unarmed? I didn't see it in the article.

Apparently the cop who shot brown's dad lives in Orange. Not sure if the cop is from setx though. [Hidden Content]

I went on a ridealong with TVC this weekend. Not much was going on, so we were riding around and we saw a car stopped in the turn lane with a person inside and a couple of people around the car. They happened to be black. He turned his car around and approached them to see what was going on. He then found out the car was dead, and he and I helped them push it out of the road into a parking lot. All of that to say, it looked very suspicious, and even though they were in fact doing nothing wrong, he still had to check out. Police are paid to check out suspicious situations. And while he might have been criticized for "harassing them" had they been doing something wrong, had he driven by without stopping and there was a shooting victim in the driver's seat, imagine the outrage. I've also ridden with him enough to know that had the occupants in the car been white, he would've done everything exactly the same.

Kind of gives him a good reason to lie, though, doesn't it? Regardless of the outcome of the investigation into the shooting, there is no way the police can ever bring charges against him. Protesters will claim it's retaliation, despite the clear video evidence.
