    Big girl reacted to westend1 in Ebola!!   
    Have you ever seen "The Fugitive"?   I don't care.    Idiots blaming Obama because nurses got ebola .  I don't care.   They just look stupid.

    So the media is definitely being irresponsible by praying off the fear of the uneducated masses. as they usually do. ebola is very serious, but it's incredibly easy to stop from spreading, or would be if they'd done things right with the first case. That being said, why are we still letting people fly to and from West Africa right now? And why would a nurse who's been treating a dying ebola patient for the last couple of weeks be allowed to board a commercial flight this soon after dealing with him, and after another nurse had already been diagnosed? that seems incredibly irresponsible on both the parts of the CDC and the nurse for that to happen. no common sense there. hopefully she was not contagious while on the flight. the one good thing about this disease is that there's an incubation time, and the carrier is not contagious until they exhibit symptoms, so every new case still gives healthcare workers time to isolate and stop the spread of the disease (assuming healthcare workers don't screw up and get it).

    A&M was picked 6th in the West before the season. So, the Carolina game has caused all these premature expectations for the Ags. Young team that will get better. And, who would have thought that Bama and LSU wouldn't be in the Top 3 in the SEC West?

    That is not entirely correct. 
     
    You have the right to refuse service to anyone except if it is based on race, religion or national origin (maybe some others). Toss in the EEOC and employment and you can add in things like sex, age, sexual harassment, disability, etc. 
     
    You can require people to wear shoes in your establishment, lay down safety rules, require people to not get rowdy, have some other form of dress code, etc. You can't legally say, "We don't allow blacks in here". 
     
    Hence your statement that we have the right to refuse service to anyone is not correct. Basically you can if it is not discriminatory against a protected class and we all belong to some protected class.

    I haven't read the article but unfortunately they probably have the right to go there. As a business you can't, and probably shouldn't, refuse service to Muslims.

    This area is heavily industrial where people can make close to six figure salaries without a four year degree. A lot of it is simply supply and demand.

    The Cities Where A Paycheck Stretches The Furthest
    "In first place is Houston, where the average annual wage in 2011 was $59,838, eighth highest in the nation. What puts Houston at the top of the list is the region’s relatively low cost of living, which includes such things as consumer prices and services, utilities and transportation costs and, most importantly, housing prices: "

    Also by FORBES: Whereas being educated is very important. I'm not convinced basing how "educated" a region is by way of  bachelor degrees is the best way, or maybe it is, just a terrible misleading headline. Anyway - I think this statistic may serve better for our area. This is obviously Houston, however, we are almost identical to this model.

    One of the criteria is % of bachelor degrees. I would assume we have a lot higher % of technical degrees in this area with all of the refineries. Most plants don't require a degree or only a 2 year associates so that would skew the numbers some.

    Big girl reacted to bullets13 in Hypocrisy? Integrity?   
    You've only experienced it from the left because no matter what someone from the right puts on this site, all righties immediately embrace it as fact and see no reason to criticize it. Some of the righties on here criticize lefties all the time, and yes some of the lefties do the same to the right. But righties outnumber lefties probably 25-1 on here, which is why I say it comes from that direction much more. So in that, at least, you and I are in agreement.

    I don't think I'd qualify as a spelling Nazi. However, I would be lying if I said I didn't roll my eyes when one of the "commoners" on here goes on a rant about how stupid the "libtards" are, all the while completely oblivious to a clear grammar error, improper use of a word (their/there/they're, to/too/two, etc), or bad misspelling that's not an obvious smartphone autocorrect.

    There is the occasional liberal on here guilty of the same thing, but based simply on numbers it's not nearly as prevalent.

    only conservative Christians and those who share their viewpoints love 'Murica. Yeah, I get it. But seriously, too often conservative Christians confuse conservative Christian values with "American values". Sorry, but the two are not exclusively linked.

    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.

    Speaking of blocking, is A&M the new Nebraska (of the 70s and 80s) with the OL? Looks like Jake Matthews should have been the #1 pick in the draft. I think that's who I would have picked. Nice to take a "can't miss" guy when you're picking in that spot.
