  1. Bit of a streisand affect here. If this hadn't happened because if it had just gone on general release hardly anyone would have seen it because by all accounts from those who HAVE seen it, this movie is a gigantic steaming pile of poo. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  2. It does, just not on Fox. So you might want to broaden your viewing habits. Here's an example (well 46 of them actually) http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/01/46-examples-of-muslim-outrage-about-paris-shooting-that-fox-news-cant-seem-to-find/ Never try to eat more than you can lift
  3. Moderate Muslims speak up on a regular basis, regardless of what the Daily Mail or Fox news say. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  4. And this twitter response was priceless: https://twitter.com/unklerupert/status/554389061646172160 Never try to eat more than you can lift
  5. I had to laugh at that one. Fox really don't help themselves sometimes. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  6. whoosh Never try to eat more than you can lift
  7. Probably not. I read an interesting idea about how in any given population the number of crooks is relatively constant at around 10%. The difference is how people go about being a crook. So, for instance, when people have no opportunities to commit white collar crime, perhaps the crime tends to be committed through violence. Got a reference to that? That idea has a lot of interesting corollaries. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  8. Nah - its because Atlanta is a f'n miserable place. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  9. and just how many are there that you speak of? You wouldn't suggest there is a huge issue without data would you? How could you present a solution without knowing the size of the problem. I didn't say anything about the size of the issue at all. You should be careful with your reading. The police have a perception problem currently that they need to do something about. It doesn't matter whether there was one case of discrimination/racism/unlawful behaviour or 100,000 - the powers that be need to be shown to be doing something about it, rather than habitually exonerating people who are clearly in the wrong. The us vs them mentality is not helping anyone. That includes both the protestors (for want of a better word) and the kneejerk reaction of those like yourself that assume the police are in the right. Whether you like it or not, unless the police solve the perception problem things will continue to get worse. They need to "be the bigger man". (FWIW I have a lot of respect for the police and what they do. A good friend of mine on here was a cop - I am sure some of you know who I am referring to Doesn't mean there isn't a problem.)

  10. As usual The Oatmeal nails it. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/religion Never try to eat more than you can lift
  11. I don't disagree. That doesn't mean something doesn't need to be done about those that aren't like that. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  12. Wow. Anyone thinking this would be less likely to happen in the US due to all the people carrying guns clearly has a major issue with reality. "If I was there with a rifle". WTF? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  13. Depends if you see that as a good thing or not. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  14. Yup. Jerry Baumchen Agreed. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  15. You framed a question I don't want to answer because I'm spinning. Reframe it to give me something easier that I can BS on. LMAO. Good one Rush. FIFY (Kind of ) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  16. Isn't she a singer? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  17. Usually your trolls are at least slightly subtle. This one? Not so much. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  18. I only need to figure that you're lying.
  19. I asked some christian friends of mine about this, and they disagree absolutely with your interpretation. Marriage for them is an equal partnership. So fortunately it seems that misogyny and female subservience are not viewed as positive character traits across the entire christian community. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  20. Small point of order - the fact that there is sunk cost doesn't make them profitable overall, it just means that it doesn't make sense to stop production right now given that the ongoing extraction produces a margin. Whether its profitable in the long run will depend on how big the reserves are. Apart from that i agree with you! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  21. Agree - my 8 gun cabinet holds no-where near 8. Especially if I have big optics on. I could probably get 8 slug guns in there if I arranged them very carefully. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  22. I've always thought when people label themselves "patriot" in this way, its analogous to countries labelling themselves "The Peoples Democratic republic of..." Its usually those who want to secede from the union, or get rid of the incumbent government, or simply just exercise bigotry under a different name. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  23. Oh nice - that would be awesome. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  24. Good segment. As so often, Stewart does get to the heart of things. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  25. I'm not referring to christianity, I'm referring to misogynist far right old white men. Christianity I am sure will tick along in the same way as Islam and all the other religions, and that's fine as long as they keep themselves to themselves and don't try and impose their dubious morals on others.
