First - Good job avoiding to discuss the topic at hand. Is the title not factually correct? Please explain how corporations "donating" millions and millions of dollars to politicians (who republicans will admit are corrupt) is in the best in interests of the country.

Second - Do you guys really need me to make the 1000th thread on how the economy sucks? Everyone knows it. Let me know, I can post another topic on the economy which I'm sure will spur intelligent discussion.

The rehaticans will be listening closely to his wording.

Cheny wants a timetable for restarting the old Iraq war machine. How about a timetable on that heart of his!

Those middle eastern countries will always be in conflicts as long as they keep clinging to their religion. We can't afford to occupy it until eternity.

Luckily most people in this country aren't as fanatic and pick and choose which parts to believe and focus on.

Didn't Eric Cantor just join a private equity firm literally a week ago?

What's keeping Texas from building a giant wall? Are the Feds stopping that or just the "ID every Mexican you see" type laws?

Scientific breakthroughs are pretty helpful.    Add that to your "truth and data".  Which states are doing well and which have benefitted from fracking?

And Vidor awaits you

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).

Michael Sam not signed to St. Louis Rams practice squad  
Should have kept his mouth shut - IF - it were ALL about football. Ones sexual preference has nothing to do with how well you can play or not. He made this about something else and perhaps it cost him...
 
With that said, with all the negative attention Tim Tebow received for his religious views, I only see it fair that Sam take the same heat. One might even learn from history. Teams eventually didn't want Tebow due to the distractions he may bring/cause....
 
The Rams seem to be making their decision based on the same merit......or perhaps (as some will argue) that Tebow demise had nothing to do with his religious views, he was just a terrible football player (at the NFL level)
 
NOTE: Tebow fans (and Christians) will never see it this way....So is it the same, Sam was a terrible football player (at the NFL level) , but due to his "coming out, some will only see his demise as his sexual preference..........

Put a sock in it Nash. He's a grown up, I'm sure he doesn't need a Hype man.
Hilarious, wanna take in a movie with him or something? Lol

Ferguson & Sanford = SETX

BOOM ROASTED KABOOM POW BADABING BADABANG

I should start charging a consultants fee for all the education and enlightenment I'm providing for this board.

Markets closed, wrapping up some stuff and I'm off for the 3 day weekend.

And a very large number of hedge funds have beaten their benchmarks since inception. It's called doing your due diligence on the team, philosophy, process and infrastructure.

And are you really asking how performance is calculated? Like for reals for reals?

Obama might the commander in chief but its not place to make military plans. If he says he doesn't have a plan its because the chiefs of joint staffs have not found an acceptable course of action for the situation.

Will you stop with the idiotic historical GDP comparisons already? There's plenty of other points you can make about the terrible economy but that is not one of them.

Of course the GDP growth after (realistically were still in it) the greatest recession since the Great Depression will be low when you compare to GDP growth post WW2. Last time I checked, the post WW2 period excludes the Great Depression.

And no one is saying YOU should pay your fair share. You are not in the top 0.1%. Why middle class Americans defend the top 0.1% while they outsource jobs, cut benefits and keep compensation flat is beyond me.

Whoa whoa whoa, get out of here with your facts.

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

I can't fault him for that. I got married on UT/OU game day. Behind WB's James Brown and Ricky Williams, the Horns pulled out the W. I figured if they lost, the marriage was doomed and I would flee. If they won, it was meant to be. So far so good - almost 17 years later.

Happy anniversary Mack. Take care of the better half. In the end, it's just another football game.

I knew all along that this day was important. I just thought because it was the start of the college football season. It dawned on me last night when they played a preview of the game and she started hinting around about what I have planned for Thursday.

I just figured out that my 10 year anniversary is Thursday. A&M kicks off at 5pm so this presents a huge problem.


Options

1. Take her out after the game. If the game goes bad I'll be in a bad mood and probably pretty drunk.
2. Take her somewhere nice this weekend. I'm currently working on this, but I think she still wants to hang out with me on the actual day.
3. Buy a big present, tell her I'm a man and I'm watching football.


That's all I got so far. Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Once he made his sexuality public he should NOT have been drafted in the first place. To do so, would only suggest (in our PC world) that he was securing his future knowing the current atmoshere.
 
If someone had "come out" stating their heterosexual status, wold that have mattered, or made the news, or secured him being drafted or making the team - NO
 
This is no different than making something about race to secure (or at least try to) the outcome you are looking for by "scaring" people due to the "sensitivity" of said subject.

Other than Stevenash is making a comparison of Brown to Trayvon without enough facts to substantiate a comparison, I don't see the harm in the comment...

My take if anyone cares:

The facts are not ALL out yet.
Who KNOWS what really happened at this point?
Until more conclusive findings and evidence come out, what are we really talking about here?

Can a white cop murder a black kid in cold blood? Sure he can...

Can a black teen threaten a white cop to the point of being killed for it? Sure he can...

Everybody relax. We don't know what happened. Neither side should even be on a side at this point. But why are we? RACE!

This is a race issue - nothing more - nothing less. And, of course, all parties will NEVER see eye to eye on whatever the outcome is.

I don't know what else to say. The fact that the Brown supporters are rioting in the streets and decimating their own neighborhoods is STUPID! The fact that the officer's supporters are sending money to bolster his defense and make a statement to the other side is STUPID! Let there be more uncovered before we lose our minds. Then we can go to racially bashing each other with at least a few facts under our belts...

I just cant help it. This has to be one of the most distasteful foul racist uncalled for post of all time why would you even post it. How can you even spin this. Its not the first time you used this kinda joke. Why bring trayvon in this let the child rest in peace. Its so sad you bring the whole fourm down with the hate you have in you. You're either a old racist or somebody who loves to race bait. I rather remove myself from this site than to endure any more of this crap.
