The spot of issue avoidance is where you have seemingly permanently set up camp. Always with the questions, seldom with the answers....

Only by about 10 joints (minimum) in a 60 mike radius. Experience is awesome. Food is average at best.

X marks the spot 😂

And a FYI, Texas Monthly isn't wrong about this one: Franklin Barbeque in Austin is the best in the State. People don't start lining up in their folding chairs at 8:00 in the morning for no reason. It's amazing.

You gotta head further west Dove! On the local joints, JB's in Orange is hands down the best IMO.

You guys need to chill out. It's not like someone was making fun of someone with Parkinson's. Oh wait...

(Too many serious threads on this board, not that barbeque isn't serious business.) Go!

And please pray for Stevenash, Craig S. As he has told us how financially successful he is on many occasions, he may be too rich to get into Heaven. (Nash, you may be many things, but dumb isn't one of them. I know the point of my posts didn't go over your head.)

FIFY

You should be all for higher tax rates on the rich, Craig S. After all, you have it all figured out on who can be a Christian and who can't. And I'm sure you are familiar with when Jesus said it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Shouldn't your solution be to tax the wealthy more so they won't have as much, thus they will be able to go to Heaven?

Start by reading biographies of Ronald Reagan. The moderate that Fox News/Limbaugh have convinced their sheep was an ultra-conservative...

Multiple gyms from what I understand.

Just what they need. Another "me first" perimeter player who plays no D. Smh

Dang, you're right. It's hell getting old.

Groveton would give us our 3rd to 4th round exit every year I was in high school. He was a year younger than me and a super nice, humble guy. Saw them play Cooper in the state semis the year after I graduated (bam morris was a senior for Cooper). Rodney and Groveton won 82-6. Yes, 82-6 in the state Semifinals. #Rip

I was worried about that game.  Seems like UCI just beats whoever you put in front of them.  Given the way this post season has turned out, wouldn't be surprised to see them make a run and win it all.

Of course this is a less formal and less important setting. I don't disagree. However, I was just pointing out I am a creature of habit and my brain is wired a particular way.

Let's be clear about something because I can see you believe my motives are something they are not. I have been trained to be sure of what is being asked before answering a question. So if someone asks something that could have more than one meaning, you ask for clarification. Ambiguous terms by definition could have a multitude of meanings. Second, I have been taught to not make presumptions about what someone else is thinking or at least not to articulate them without confirmation from that person. They are the best source for that information and I really think assumptions/presumptions are a slippery slope. So it's not an attack on your interrogatorive skills, which I see you practice ferverantly on this board. It's simply habit from years of practice.

When someone resorts to a spelling argument, you know you have them. Sorry I misspelled a word in one of my posts. If I spent my time correcting spelling, grammatical errors, etc. on this board (including some of yours), I would likely have time for nothing else in my life. But congratulations on your find!

It's not an ambiguous argument. It's a "I won't presume to know what someone's motive was, if any, in a non-action." That's why I suggested you ask them. I don't know westend, never met westend, and I certainly don't think it's my place to jump inside his or her head and tell you whether the data was not mentioned intentionally. For their to be motivation, intent must first be established. Again, the best source for the question would be westend. Better? (Footnote: it is, of course, perfectly within your right to ask questions on a message board so long as they are not violative of the board's rules. And I have never seen you ask a question or post which would be. It is also acceptable for a person not to answer a question for any reason they choose. Although they do not have to, I do generally give you a reason if I do not answer, and it's never because I don't like the answer. Now you can resume your Macaulay Culkin style questioning ala "Uncle Buck.")

Why don't you ask the person who posted it rather than someone who doesn't even know them? Would you agree that is the best source of information for that query? Would you agree you do a lot of ASS.Uming?

Biggirl - leave them alone on the birthplace issue. It is obviously quite embarrassing to them that they greedily gobbled up that stink bait several years ago. Except for Smitty - it appears that hook was set in his medulla oblangata and is unable to even have it surgically removed.

So the part about over half the Americans believing the President is moving the country towards socialism is unbiased?

Oversimplify much? Your heart is in the right place - your brain is stuck in neutral. Although you bring up good ideas, it's the implementation which is lacking. Again, education cures a lot of ills. Starting with ignorance. And if you think there is nothing wrong with our education system, your standards are exceedingly low.
