I'm not an authority on basketball (except my G'daughter and G'son are fantastic & any official that calls a foul on them is wrong lol), but I know my G'son thought the world of Coach L. I think many in Evadale will miss him. But our loss is Vidor's gain. Wish him All the Best.

Hippy, all this time I thought you were just another pretty face, but now, with this post, you've entered the rarified air of borderline genius. You saw it while the rest of us missed this gem. My hat (blue of course) is off to you.

Amazing ! What's really makes my head spin is that the mainstream media is not on this by now. Had a Rep done this they'd be able to tell you her life story by now, up to & including how many times she wet the bed. Ohhhhhh where's my Alka seltzer?

When it comes to my political support it goes to what I perceive as the best candidate, ie conservative, constitutionalist. I don't care if he's black, white, or orange with purple polka dots. IMO the banning of the confederate flag from Govt Cemetaries is wrong. It probably is a violation of the First Amendment but I'm a long way from being a Constitutional Lawyer. As I've said before, this flag business has gotten WAY out of hand.

Second the motion. Mr. Chairman the motion has passed. Book em Dano.

Hillary & Obama must be the result of a different kind of evolution than Darwin came up with lol. Then again, some UFO folks claim that aliens are living amongst us. I was a non believer, but a little scrutiny of them two, and Al Gore, I may have to rethink that.

According to NBC, he bought the gun. It adds to the tragedy. I've always wondered how effective all the gun checks are. So many people, so many checks. Sad. Very sad!

Lol, surely in this PC world. But back in my younger days, I used those words for folks who deserved it, not the nut jobs that receive it today. Take the case of the illegal immigrant in SF who shot the lady (another wood chipper candidate). I can feel the empathy from here all the way from Ca. And After all that he's done! SMH, BMHAAW (beat my head against a wall). Need less PC and more CS (common sense).

IMO the taking of drugs has nothing to do with DNA, but just a result of choice. On the other hand, DNA may have an influence on who can quit. If so, maybe someday science can figure out a way to help. Hope that's not a pipe dream.

I'm with you BD. Always been a firm believer of that saying - Those who don't learn the mistakes of History are doomed to repeat them (or something close to that). As for that pic of folks burning the flag, Damn Yankees. Lol

Durn sad story. Reminds me (ever notice when something happens old people say, REMINDS me) of this book, "No Country for Old Men" (made a movie of it). Anyway, the Sheriff is reflecting on all the bad things happening since we've gone drug crazy. He thinks, "If I was the Devil, there's nothing better to drag mankind down than drugs". I think the old Sheriff was right.

Only thing he could do would be to take the Fifth. I'm thinking half time at the Super Bowl, throw him and that other piece of feces from SC into a wood chipper. But that's old school. Don't mean to shock you young fellows.

Your right Hoops, thank goodness I only eat beef and bacon. Lol

Once again I'd like to point out that to 57% of Americans the flag IS NOT perceived as a symbol of hate & prejudice. While I do understand why some think of it that way, that's no reason to "make it go away". If we remove all things that any particular group of people don't like, there won't be much left. Heck, I bet there's people who'd like to get rid of po dum rite wing peepell lik me lol.

I'm sure many will scoff at this post, but one has only to look at the Six Day War to believe this may be the case. The five muslim countries who attacked Israel had twice the men, three times the aircraft and tanks When the smoke cleared, Israel had less than a thousand dead, while the attackers lost over 18,000, and left the desert covered with hundreds of blown up and abandoned tanks. Is this Devine Intervention, or is the Israeli Army THAT good? I don't know for sure, but the facts should make one wonder.

Amen LRF. Old Matthews did a major Foo Paw. He's liable to find himself reporting on quilting bees in Boise. Lol

If this was directed at my comments, I was using Evolution to prove my assertion that most gays, but not all, are gay by choice. That the evolutionary process is not one that should be creating so many gay people. I find it hard to believe that nature would spend so much time developing humans to all of a sudden make so many that wouldn't procreate. Again, if I'm wrong, let me know why. Please don't make disparaging comments about what I may, or may not know.

Wow, these guys run a tight ship. I'm glad our army wasn't that bad or I might not be here to enlighten yall. Lol

Pathetic! IMO one big problem Police Dept's have is identifying those officers who let the "power" go to their heads. Most of us have seen it at work. Person gets promoted & soon starts throwing their weight around. There, it's a nuisance, but when police do it, it can be life threatening.

Been many years since I read 1984, but isn't this bordering on: We had no Civil War. We never fought the South, therefore there is no Confederate flag. If you've read it, you get the idea. If you haven't, you really should. A piece of fiction that is storming into reality.

Enlightening, and confirms what most of us have believed for quite a while. Not something you'll see in the mainstream media. Heaven forbid the nation finds out that the modern, progressive, folks of California are outdone by the cowboy, redneck mentality of Texas. To take a part of one of Gen. Patton's quotes, "God help me, I do love it so".

I'm at a loss to understand the use of heroin. It's almost a one way street, so addictive, so hard to get off. While I've never used weed, I have killed a few million brain cells with beer and Skye. I get that, but heroin? Can someone enlighten me?

Got to hand it to ya Hoop, that's. funny and ir1.

LOL, you are so right Hippy. I'm trying to learn how to laugh at this stuff, but it's really sad.

Me & my phone at odds today, so this is a disclaimer and apology if I screw up the thread. Not sure @ the science, but I'll draw on life experiences. I do believe a few are born gay - in my youth (about the time most of your G'pa's were young lol), my folks kept a cat around Once we got two males from same litter. Not only were they gay, but were practicing incest. Of all the animals I've been around, this was the only deviant behavior I've seen (except for my friends dog who loved boys legs, but that's another story). It's not much to go on, but I'm convinced. But, I don't think most the folks claiming to be gay were born that way. Now, if science is right about the theory of evolution, how is that relevant here? Best as I can tell, the main function of all animals, insects, etc, is to reproduce. If that's so, why would Mother Nature create so many humans that don't (don't even want to go thru the motions much less have children)? i would guess 90% are gay by choice . Just IMO, but if I'm missing something, let me know. Even old redneck country boys can still learn.
