On the topic of the healthcare act: http://www.balloon-juice.com/2012/06/29/just-a-humble-tradesman-trapped-in-a-world-he-never-made/
Still the wrong thread. Why doesn't someone start a various random thoughts thread?
Being personally responsible is drivel? hat is EXACVTLY why this country is going down the shitter. The libtards think it is the job of those who make responsible choices in live to be forced to take care of those who make poor choices. No one is stopping anyone form buying insurance at any point. If one waits until they are such a high rick person and insurance is cost prohibitive, well then that is the result of their decision to not buy insurance earlier. The absurd part (and glaring hole in this all) is that the people who cry and complain that they cannot 'afford' insurance (really meaning they choose to spend their money elsewhere) are going to be forced to buy it under the great Bammy's plan, and all of a sudden they LOVE it and are going to choose to do what they should have done all along? Well if they had just bought insurance in the first place and not ASSUMED THE RISK of getting sick, then they would not be whining now... It all comes down to making choices and living with the consequences.
Maybe one of us can be katie's rebound.
I thought there was a limit on how much individuals could contribute to politicians... When John what's his face gave $1M to Bammy I thought it was bad, but this is just plain horrible.

I'm pondering whether to run the Baltimore Marathon, which would necessitate skipping the Jens Lekman show the night before. I did already see Jens with full band at smaller venue for half the price, and no new material since that time.
Alternatively, I could run the Richmond Marathon in November, but maybe that's not a good idea. If I were to require some medical attention, some redneck Virginia ratbastard might mistake me for someone uninsured and get out his shotgun and shoot me dead.
Jens becomes less impressive each time I see him.

agreed, but he has potential... maybe he's due for a "turnaround" show.
i wonder how my fellow forumers fared in friday's storm? out here in the valley, we had what was called a "derecho" and it sounded like a freight train tornado coming right at us as i watched lightning on our back deck. totally panicked, grabbed the cat and ran for the basement. damage out here was insane, and power is out almost everywhere. hope all are safe . . . for we might get it again today.

I was without power for about 18 hours. Thanks to my hard work and the personal responsibility I took in making a wise decision, I own a generator. I have been running with power the whole time. And to think I didn't even need Bammy to pass a law requiring everyone to buy a generator or a program for the gummint to give me a "free" one!are you sayin those that don't own a generator are not responsible?

This whole survival of the fitness thing you got going is pretty cool. So maybe I should just steal your generator. After all we don't need no laws protecting your property from others. I might have been wise enough to buy a baseball bat and use it to disable you from preventing me from taking your generator and you have health care coverage so I won't feel too bad about your concussion. And then I could post on here if you want electricity you should have been resposible enough to buy a baseball bat.

i believe all marriages should be something you have to qualify for, based on intelligence tests / income / job security / six month waiting periods with head doctor appointments / and a legal binding contract you are forced to sign that if you get divorced, you have one of your arms or legs cut off. the end.
How?
And for that matter, how does legal gay marriage affect you? I'm guessing you are opposed to that, too.That would affect everyone.

Saturday night at U Street Music Hall
by Will Eastman on Monday, July 9, 2012 at 4:58pm ·
Dear friends,
It's just come to my attention that Saturday night a security guard hired on contract at U Street Music Hall attempted to ask two men to leave the club for dancing with one another in a sexual manner. I'm aghast at hearing this. While the security guard was fired on the spot, I want to take this opportunity to say that I apologize to our community, especially our friends in the LGBT community, and I'm working right now to ensure this never happens at the club again.
As we expected a large crowd and long line Sat we brought in extra security on contract. This was a guard who evidently wasn't familiar with our culture at U Hall and had never worked at the space. If I were there I would have fired him myself and given him a few choice words. I don't know what else to say other than everyone at U Hall is just completely floored that this happened. I want to commend our two staff security guards who stepped in and prevented anyone being from being made to leave and our GM who made sure this individual was fired.
Hearing this situation breaks my heart to know that for two men just out having a good time at a night that was all about inclusion and feeling good about life and the future someone representing U Hall acted in a disrespectful and biased manner. U Hall supports everyone's rights and we'll continue to do so as long as we're around. If anyone knows the individuals who were approached by the security guard please ask them to contact me so that I can offer them a personal apology. I would DJ and host a free night at U Hall for them and all their friends and DJs in our community. Shirts not allowed.
If anyone has any questions or concerns or if you experience anything that just ain't right at U Hall please reach out to me directly at will@ustreetmusichall.com and I will do my best to address it immediately. Thank you to everyone who came out to the club over the weekend and thank you for helping make U Hall a supportive, inclusive and forward-thinking environment.

Im pretty sure it was a DANCE party with DJs and people DANCING, and not a bunch of people standing around with their hands in their pockets talking loudly while waiting for some alt country band to perform.

From U ST Music Hall Facebook:
Why would they think it appropriate the dance in a sexual manner?
If I go to a show, I have no desire the see two or more people start grinding on the floor, especially if they are ugly. Doesn't matter to me what their gender or orientation is. There are other venues for that kind of activity.
He does know how to annoy.

"Dance club" has meant little more than "meat market" for decades now. That's just what happens there. And like others have mentioned, the couple in question were only kicked out because they were of the same gender; the security guard in question probably left a fair amount of straight couples doing the same thing alone.
Side note: above is perfect example of why using contracted security is never a good idea.
only gay people decide what gay people do . . . straight people can fuck off on the subject, actually.
Just found out today that I have to go in and have two more surgeries on my knees. They are going to go in and do arthroscopic surgery to clean things out and make a plan of attack for full blown replacement. I had bilateral partial replacements done four years ago and off all the surgeries I have had (including several cranial procedures and triple spinal fusion) the recovery from knee surgery was by far the hardest and most painful. Hello hydrocodone! I seriously think that when I die I am going to donate my body to science..... ..... fiction!
Did you know that in Japanese Pro Wrestling, they have people with gay gimmicks? When will the WWE embrace such openness?

Good thing you planned ahead for health insurance!
Even better that it is happening now before bammy gets to decide what doctor i get to go to and if i even qualify to get in line and wait 2½ years to get my surgery done by some gummint hack doctor. But then again it would be 'free'.

you're hard enough to take seriously without making shit up. but if your goal is to make a laughing stock out of your opinions, then please carry on.

Can we swap Ohio, Florida, Arizona and Texas for Australia? So much great funk music coming out of the land down under these days, shame it so far for those band to travel to bring their goodness here.
I'd take New Zealand over Australia and would throw Kansas and Wyoming into the trade, too.
Although you're right about a ton of great stuff coming from Australia at the moment. I figure that Royal Headache LP would be up your alley.

Was he invited, or did he ask to speak? Also, just because the organizers think something is a good idea doesn't meant the crowd/attendees will. Maybe Romney should have flown in his own rent-a-crowd.
And yeah, it's not like the organizers were booing.

Sucks that us other insurance holders have to help pay for your bad knees when you could have planned a head and had a healthier lifestyle and wouldn't need knee surgery.
Frank Ocean's 'Channel Orange' Won't Be Sold at Target

So I was running on the Mall last week, and there was this black guy holding a sign.
The sign read:
Marriage's alway's 1 man+1 woman.
And I thought to myself...man, it would really be fun if walkonby was on this run with me.

Jesus F'ing H Christ if ANYONE still thinks Bammy is not a socialist all I have to say is this...
"President Obama, in a speech to supporters, suggested business owners owe their success to government investment in infrastructure and other projects -- saying 'if you?ve got a business, you didn?t build that.'?
Wow how just plain fucking arrogant can one man be? Wow and I thought Bono was a megalomaniac, this fucktard takes the cake, no he takes the whole damn bakery. Alas some will still be stupid enough to vote for him in November!

*YAWN*
I'm curious, who do you think builds sewers, water lines, the electrical grid, the highway transportation system, the internet, or any of the other stuff businesses, let alone people, need on a daily basis in our society? Do you think there are infrastructure fairies or dwarves or something that build and maintain this shit in the middle of the night absolutely free of charge?
The government (Bammy, to you) collects money from people (taxes) and uses this money to build the above mentioned items, which we all get to use (social ownership). They do this in our best interest, because not many people (especially you) are going to volunteer to pay for something that does not solely benefit themselves. You get to use it to voice your opinion about "Bammy," businesses get to use it to attract clients and transport goods, I use it to drive to work to make money, so I can use other parts of it to spend said money at the 930 club, etc etc. We are all socialist, this is not new.
Name me a single business that could exist without the above mentioned infrastructure being provided for them.
when Frum - his number one cheerleader during the primaries- writes a column about Romney having a very bad week believe he, he's had a bad week.
When Kristol writes that he should release his tax forms, believe me, he's fucked.
I think our dear President clearly misspoke. I cannot believe someone wrote a speech with that line in it and I most certainly do not believe the President thinks that people who set up businesses have nothing to do with their success... the point is they don't do it alone not that they don't have anything to do with it which is what he seemed to say in a weird case of very clear misspeak. As Obama would say he will continue to make mistakes..... everyone will.
Having said that its been wonderful lately.. I listen to right wing talk radio for fun (when I'm in car which isn't very often) and the right wing nutters have gone batty... today , and this tells you how they have nothing to say regarding Romney going up in flames, they focused on whether Obama hates America.. I shit you not. Not just Limbaugh..also Lavin.. both were frothing at the mouth.
Does Obama hate America is all they can muster.
Bottom line is Romney has completely fucked up... everyone knows he won't release his taxes because they would show what a dodgy shyster he is.... he doesn't even say otherwise.. he could say "I won't release them on principle not because I have anything to hide.." but he says that if he'd release them Obama would use them against him! Well duh! Thats cause we'd find god knows what..we know you keep your money in just about every place dodgy shysters do.. what else is there?
Then the guy says he has nothing to do with Bain after 1999 when he was CEO, President, sole shareholder.. you name it.. it doesn't pass the smell test.

anybody notice that all these nfl stars are getting arrested for some such a thing or another, here lately. tmz is having a field day. in other news . . . before complaining about obama's past, i have to look at the past the president before him lived and all the f-ed up things he did, and then was allowed to be president. bush compared to obama in what was "done" as a person growing up and then becoming the holder of the highest office in our country . . . sorry obama comes off like a saint. obama compared to romney, same thing.

1. Obama has rocked it as President: 1) killed OBL 2) Passed health care both HUGE.
2. There is NO precedent for people running for office having to provide transcripts.. none at all. I'm sorry but you're just barking up the wrong tree here. AND nobody cares.. i mean maybe you and a couple of loons do care but nobody cares that you care. dig?

Obama has put up record deficits. The health care law will probably get repealed after the election and is a watered down law. Also he has done nothing for the mortgage problems. In case you don't know we are the ones getting stuck paying for the failed mortgages via fannie mae etc. He is way too conservative.
Look how much the cost of college has gone up since he became president. All these kids are getting stuck with huge student loans. He is spending all this money enforcing the failed drug laws. He hasn't done anything for the environment.
I think of him and GW's as pretty much equal. And why don't you care that you elected a failure for president? A guy who couldn't cut it in college. I think to be president you should be at the top of your class and have had a successful career.
No way I am voting for him. The only reason I am voting at all is because I want the gay marriage law to stay on teh books.
man i'm bummed dylan is playing verizon.. was very much looking forward to seeing him this fall but i won't do it at that venue..
not sure i want to drive to solomons but thats a 5000 seat venue.. but i'll pass on verizon.
get good seats. saw him at patriot once. had third row center. blown away.
I've seen him 15 times.. just about everywhere.. going to pass unless I get a free ticket or something.. He was awesome last time I saw him.. fall of 2010 in Charlottesville..
i love bob!

what gay marriage law? are you talking at the state level?
for federal: if you want to ensure that gay marriage doesn't happen, be sure to vote for romney.

you're a lunatic.. the same guy who says teachers are overpaid.. i'm done with you.. I simply don't have the time or desire to debate with loons. Go over to redstate.org or something...
unless you live in Virginia your vote matters not a whit. I do live in Virginia and we'll be voting for President Obama.

I am a loon because you don't want to debate records. You do realize that obams is banrupting the country. No different than GW. Pro war just like GW. Pro illegal alien just like GW. Pro big business like GW. War on Drugs like GW.
Can we start a political thread? Maybe call it 'politics' or 'why romney sucks' or 'why bammy sucks'?
This is getting as boring as Wilco's setlist.

Some of us maintain some rather radical sleep/awake patterns. Or is it a posting thing?

this one woman on some msnbc show this morning talked exclusively about one thing basically during her entire time on the air . . . how video games and playing video games more than likely led to this kid doing it. that will go over well.

I still say you don't really believe that Obama is the most liberal politician in American history. There are countless senators and congressmen in office right now that are way far left of him.
+1, not that it will ever happen. rightly or wrongly, people will make the argument that had there been MORE guns in that theater, things might have gone differently (like more stray bullets...)this one woman on some msnbc show this morning talked exclusively about one thing basically during her entire time on the air . . . how video games and playing video games more than likely led to this kid doing it. that will go over well.
Well what about guns? Why don't they ever think maybe we should not let everyone have guns? Why does this enter peoples minds? How many times does something like this happen when finally people wake up to the fact that people do not need guns. Change the constitution.
You can't assume the Colo shooter would've been able to get a gun if they were illegal. From what's been reported, he was a medical school drop-out who worked at a bar, he wasn't a military guy. Can the average person go out and get a rocket launcher? No, because they're illegal for normal people to have and therefore, normal people don't know where to get them.
The argument that if guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns is straight up retarded.Yes, if guns are outlawed, only very certain outlaws will have guns, i.e. a miniscule fraction of the number of people who have and use guns today. You think most of those bonehead gun nuts would have any clue how to get a gun if they were outlawed? Give me a break. Gun violence would absolutely plummet if they were outlawed.

Actually I did mis-speak. I intended to say that no PRESIDENT. Of course we are all talking opinions here so others here may not agree (ya think?) but Bammy is extremely left wing and EASILY the most left wing president in my lifetime. For reference I have been voting in presidential elections since the Nixon/Humphrey/Wallace election. It may surprise you to know that I do NOT vote in any election based on party. I vote for the person that I think is best for the job. On more than one occasion i cast a vote for someone from each of the two major parties and at least once for a third party candidate.

And if you're casting a vote for someone from each of the two major parties you're committing voter fraud. ;D

They, in effect, are just allowing someone else to vote for them.

Paul Ryan pick will firm up the wingnuts who already are voting for the Romneybot but might scare away old people and moderates. He might pull out Wisconsin (although that is very questionable) but can wave bye to Florida for sure now.
Ryan worships Ayn Rand which in my opinion, makes him a despicable piece of garbage.
And this made me chuckle: One is a robot. One is a Randroid. And they're RUNNING FOR OFFICE! Watch the zany new comedy ROMNEY AND RYAN, coming this fall!

Everything Romney has done so far in this campaign, including this pick, has been to drive turnout of conservatives... they are not trying to attract independents but figure if they can get enough of "their" people out to the polls they can win.

Typical retort of one with no valid point. I call it like I see it. Bammy the savior is a farce which is clearly evident to those who choose not to buy into the great savior's hype of 'the gummint will fix everything by throwing more money at it". The man had two years of complete control in DC with him and his socialist cronies in charge of everything and they did NOTING at all but try to make themselves look good. Now they all sit and point fingers at their failures being the fault and responsibility of others. We wouldn't expect anything else form them, they and their clan always do everything they can to eliminate personal responsibility for anything. Its pretty sad that you are still being fooled, you otherwise seem to be a fairly educated person.

It was basically a highlight reel each night. Pretty lame. And their online streams were a joke. Choppy as hell and random commercial interruptions most of which featured Tim Allen's douchetastic voice. What the fuck does "Chevy runs deep" even mean, anyway? Stupidest slogan since "Have a happy period, Always." I think I mentioned this in the Olympics thread but the BBC webcasts were the polar opposite. They gave you perfect feeds for each sport; both with and without commentary and no advertisements at all. And they were all live. I don't remember Bob Costas being as horrible as he was over the last two weeks before. Maybe I was not paying as much attention.

I am convinced most ballplayers are using performance enhancing drugs.

Lifting weights is performance enhancing.
Working out is performance enhancing.
Taking vitamins is performance enhancing.
Getting a good nights sleep is performance enhancing.
Batting practice is performance enhancing.
Unless a specific performance enhancement is otherwise illegal, they ought to be allowed to do whatever they damn well please (and are willing to assume the risk of) to their own bodies. It is absurd to make some arbitrary list of some performance enhancements that are allowed and some that are not.

I didn't realize Ratbastard was quiet lately because he's in the far east.
Mustaine made the comments on stage at an August 7 performance in Singapore ... when he told the crowd, "Back in my country, my president ... he's trying to pass a gun ban, so he's staging all of these murders, like the 'Fast And Furious' thing down at the border ... Aurora, Colorado, all the people that were killed there ... and now the beautiful people at the Sikh temple."
...
He continued, "I don't know where I'm gonna live if America keeps going the way it's going because it looks like it's turning into Nazi America."

I think its more unfair not to make them legal than it is to keep them illegal.. guys like Arod.. the big guys with the huge contracts and bigtime money have contacts that let them have an edge when it comes to- lets call it- doping.. they can get the better doping doctors who have the better masking techniques etc...
there is no doubt that many players who suddenly put up huge numbers are doping... yet we all sit around getting excited about the numbers and production, and get the huge contracts, when in reality they have an unfair advantage.. i think if you opened it up everyone could compete on the same grounds
do we even know who would be better player if conditions were equal? it might not even be the guys we think are really good!
Remember we are JUST talking baseball. This is basically a game where (for the vast majority of the game) seven guys stand around watching two guys play catch.

I am so sick of these bands saying they are going to sue politicians for using their songs when the politicians are using their songs legally (Sivlersun pick-ups in this case. Whom should be sued by the smashing pumpkins)
And tom morello Romney/Ryan is almost exactly the same as Obama/Biden. Wake up. I thought you had a top notch education?

You can vote libertarian.
Yeah, he's further to the right than Romney and Ryan on a bunch of issues. No thanks. I want a solid liberal candidate. And from a personal standpoint, my voting libertarian would basically be my voting against certain laws and benefits that help to keep me a contributing member of society.

You're crazy.. If you had even been voting in 2000, with this rationale you'd have voted for for Nader. How did that work out for you? You enjoyed the wars? The creation of a conservative majority on the Court?
Obviously who you vote for is irrelevant unless you live in Virginia anyways so I think you're giving this a bit too much thought!

I voted Nader last election. I don't agree with your rationale. If all of the Gore supporters had voted for Nadar we would have been better off. Gore didn't win his home state. If he had he would have been president. You should vote who you think the best candidate not who you think will win. That is how we have Obama and GW as back to back presidents. Two presidents who will have bankrupted the country and who care nothing about the working man.
I still haven't decided whom I am voting for but it won't be Obama or Romney. I did one of those online issues thing and it told me which candidate to vote for and Romney and Obama were the lowest two candidates in issues in common with me. Both at 60 percent. They are both the status quo. If you are happy with the way the country is currently being run then by all means vote for one of them.
as mentioned on the last page, I have a laundry list of reasons (will touch on only a few items here) why I cannot in good conscience vote Obama. Granted most of them are due to pressure from Wall ST., to the health/pharmie industry to defense contractors to AIPAC but a good president should be able to stand up to that pressure and keep promises that he made and squeeze his agenda through (Bush tax cuts for rich should have been repealed in 2010, the health care act should have a public option in it to name a couple). Especially since he had a super majority in the Senate and a majority in the house! Other presidents have gotten their agendas through with a lot less. Also, there are the 180's he has made in office. The two most glaring are the fact that he has done little to close Gitmo and his failure to hold the Israeli government's feet to the fire with regard to illegal settlements. Instead, he gave that embarrassing abortion of a speech at the UN last September. And then there were the dickings over of great Americans who legitimately want to change the US for the better regardless of who is trying to stop them like Elizabeth Warren and Van Jones. I suppose he could grow a pair in term 2 (which I still have trouble not seeing him win) but I totally feel let down and a bit slighted after the first one.

Listen to me and listen good cause I'm only going to write this down one time. To me George W. Bush is the worst American president in history and wasn't even initially elected by the people (more like appointed by an activist Republican Supreme Court that decided to STOP A STATE from counting the votes of its residents in an unprecedented decision). George W. Bush got us involved in two useless wars, spent us into bankruptcy, is at least partly responsible for 9-11 happening, and to cap it all off presided over the country going into the great recession. There is a reason he is in hiding and won't even come out for the Republican Convention.
I don't believe most of the what happened in the 2000-2008 period would have happened had Al Gore been elected president in 2000 (and in a way I still think he WAS elected).
It is of course inarguable that Al Gore ran a bad campaign. But George W Bush's "election" was a tragedy. They're still bringing back the body bags...and the blood is on his hands.
I can't tell anyone else what to do but I think I - myself- have to be a realistic voter.. does that mean never voting for a third party option? No. I have voted for the third party option in a case where I think my vote actually did have an impact even though the candidate lost. Voting for Nader had zero positive impact and in fact a lot of negative impact as Bush did way more against Nader's "agenda" than Gore would have done. In an ideal world we'd all vote for the candidate we like most but politics is not the ideal world..its the real world.
I do admire very much that you vote for who you think should win (I think that is what you are saying anyway). If we all voted for who we REALLY wanted rather than who we think probably will end up winning, we might actually elected someone worth a crap.
I've never voted negative (voting for one simply because you don't like the other) In 08 I left my Presidential ballot blank because I certainly didn't want McCain and was very suspicious of Obama...he came from nowhere. Neither one were worthy of my vote.
This time may be different. We just HAVE to get Obama and his left wing radical cabinet out, so I'll probably vote for Romney for that reason alone....then I'll go take a long hot shower.

I find it interesting that Frank cites President Obama and his left wing radical cabinet while Azaghal talks about how President Obama is to the right of Romney on many issues. I think you're both wrong.

Pretty sure he was implying that many women claim rape in order to get an abortion regularly.
I hope that we can all agree that he is a scumbag.

oh good to know.. what's he doing on this board then? oh wait they don't have music in FloridaSo what is the difference between the "legitimate rape" Republican Rep. Todd Akin referred to yesterday in a television interview, and "forcible rape" as included in a House Resolution he co-sponsored with Republican Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan? I don't know.. where I'm from rape is rape. There is no good rape or bad rape. Call me old fashioned I guess...
Anyone remember when Obama said whistleblowers would and should be protected while he is in office? What happened there?
Anyone remember when Obama said whistleblowers would and should be protected while he is in office? What happened there?
there is a difference between someone releasing secrets because they further public good, vs. being a shit-disturber like assange who releases secrets just because - and regardless of the consequences.
i'm entirely in favor of freedom of information, free expression, etc. but assange has taken that to dangerous extremes. what good came from the leak of all those diplomatic cables? none that i know of, and quite a lot of damage: names of secret informants in afghanistan and iraq were leaked and they had to run for their lives. leaking personal notes about what one diplomat thought of a given ambassador didn't create openess - it create bad feelings and resentment. not useful, but boy did it make assange look like some sort of an online prophet. the man is a misdirected megalomaniac.
not everything needs to be in the public light. if wikileaks bothered to sift through the stuff they got and post the stuff that was relevant to the public interest, i'd have a lot more respect for assange. instead, he's a little kid running away singing "nanny nanny boo boo!" as he leaves a bag of lit poo on the world's doorstep. he had a great idea but he wasted it on pissing people off and making a name for himself instead of taking it to somewhere useful.
if you're a true believer in wikileaks, please post a file of all your personal e-mails and your browser history. why are you hiding that information?!?
He has said he would return to Sweden and face the charges if he could get a guarantee from the Swedes that they would not extradite him.
And nobody has said that he shouldn't be held accountable if he did in fact assault these girls.
I can understand why people would think it would be cool to have a black president, but people thought a father/son presidency would be cool? Really?
And what is their really to respect about GW Bush?
I've hear word that you're not going to get the chance. Obama is going to declare himself dictator. There isn't going to be any election.I've never voted negative (voting for one simply because you don't like the other) In 08 I left my Presidential ballot blank because I certainly didn't want McCain and was very suspicious of Obama...he came from nowhere. Neither one were worthy of my vote.
This time may be different. We just HAVE to get Obama and his left wing radical cabinet out, so I'll probably vote for Romney for that reason alone....then I'll go take a long hot shower.
so what is the difference between legitimate rape and forcible rape?
Republican working hard to lock up the rapist constituency vote. Now I see why they picked Paul Ryan. His track record as a leader on "forcible rape" really helps woo the rapist vote.
He has said he would return to Sweden and face the charges if he could get a guarantee from the Swedes that they would not extradite him.
And nobody has said that he shouldn't be held accountable if he did in fact assault these girls.
I don't believe he is in a position to make demands, do you? He is facing charges for rape. He gets no "break".
He has to face the justice system like anybody else. I have no way of knowing if Sweden would extradite him but I doubt it but it is laughable to say he gets to ask for guarantees.. would I get to ask for a guarantee? Of course not. The Swedish justice system cannot made deals with potential criminals before they are even in Sweden. It just doesn't work like that.
I know you look at him as some sort of modern day hero but I would urge you to think about it. Rape is a serious deal and to imply, as you do, that this is all being made up by Sweden seems a little lacking in seriousness. Sweden is not Ecuador, for example, a country which is a banana republic run by a bad excuse for an authoritarian populist who disregards the rule of law.
ANd you say "nobody has said he should not be held accountable".. well how is he going to be held accountable if he does not go back to Sweden and hides in the Embassy of Ecuador?
Honestly, your position is untenable.

I don't think it is asking much of Sweden to guarantee no extradition to a country in which he could face the death penalty.He has said he would return to Sweden and face the charges if he could get a guarantee from the Swedes that they would not extradite him.

obama said he'd close gitmo and he hasn't. at least he's on record as saying he would, and he could be held obama hasn't accomplished half of what he said he would. but my bigger fear is romney/ryan being given a chance to accomplish half of what they say they will. having to choose the lesser evil sucks, but it's a valid choice.
country musicians who hate black people.
shocking.
country musicians who appeal to people who listen to country music, who hate black people.
even more shocking.
i suprised he didn't add in there, "and he loves faggots too."

LOL He hasn't done a damn thing except make us even worse off than ever before. He "saved' us by passing a horrid bammycare package. He has been redistributing the wealth, typical libtard "throw someone else's money at a problem and it will be fixed" attitude which NEVER works. He promised to lower unemployment or he would not run for re-election, we see how big a lie that was. The man and his cronies were in total control for two years and did nothing worthwhile for this country.
Isn't part of the problem surrounding the closing of Gitmo, due to the fact that there are no facilities in the US that are willing to hold them? I recall quite a clamor being raised on all sides regarding the potential of housing these individuals in their states, etc....

the two years you speak of, once Ted Kennedy died, the democrats could not block the fillibuster.. the Republicans in the Senate fillibustered 276 times! The previous record for a session had been FORTY. Republicans by the way have really screwed up the country with this insane use of the fillibuster because should they ever win control of the Senate- looking unlikely due to their attempt to cater to the rapist constituency- they are going to get the same treatment....
It is a big myth that President Obama could do whatever he wanted for two years. But don't let the truth stop you from lying ratbastard.

Of course the entire blame, once again, falls on the Republicans for getting us in the problem in the first place. as usual.This, I can agree with.

I notice you don't address the substance of what I wrote.. typical.
LIAR!
oh i don't know.. i think its pretty substantive that republicans went out of their way to do everything they could to torpedo President Obama's agenda... remember that Obama was elected by a landslide and had majorities in both houses and still, resorting to the filibuster so very often, the republicans basically did not allow him to do what he though was best for the country..or what the people had elected him to do.

you can laugh it off..but the republicans have set the precedent for making the country ungovernable here on out. no laughing matter.. at least that is the way i see it..
You too are fucking nuts for bickering that early in the morning.
With that said, sure the Republicans tried to get in the way of Obama's agenda but he should have realized they would do that from the getgo rather than try to play nice for the first six months of 2009. If he would have come out swinging rather than try to cut deals with the Republicans, things might be different right now.
yes . . . mass destruction and loss of life and million upon millions in property damage is awesome, because you don't like something.
ah, america.
Welcome to politics in the USA as it has been since day one. There is absolutely nothing new about one party pushing as hard as they can to have their win every possible vote and to minimize the results of vote they cannot win. Both sides have been playing that game forever. Neither the reds nor the blues have a corner on that market. Spin it all you want, both sides play that game and have been.

no one has ever played it like the GOP has for the past 4 years. no one.
"the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." - mitch mcconnell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-A09a_gHJc). so the GOP hasn't been focused on job creation, or security, or healthcare reform: their only focus has been "avenging" the embarrassing beating they took in 2008. the GOP have purposely been holding back on economic recovery because "Obama might get credit for any improvements" (someone said that, can't find it at the moment) and thus increasing his chances of reelection.
to me, the GOP's behavior over the past 4 years is treasonous and impeachable. they were elected to govern and serve the public interest but instead they've been blindly opposing the president out of childish spite. democrats found ways of working with GWB (who had a weak to non-existant mandate from the people). republicans have been been enable to work with obama (a president who was elected in a landslide).

It sucks cause every time somebody has a good year you have to consider this..its kind of ruined the game a bit for me.. I'd like it more if they made all that stuff legal and at least you knew everyone competed from the same place.

http://www.deadline.com/2012/08/first-box-office-anti-obama-movie-1/
when the truth is too much for you . . . just lie in journalism. this article claims that some anti obama movie was number 1 at the box offices, then in the article it says it was actually number 3 . . . but if you check the actual box office chart ratings, it was #13. how odd that this shit is allowed. but is does not shock me.
please watch the video at the top of this story:
http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/23/us/texas-judge-warning/index.html
a republican judge claimed that if obama is elected, he will "hand over amercain sovereignty to the UN" (as if the UN is in the business of taking over countries), people will rise up, and obama will "call in the UN troops" (as if the UN has any troops). pure lunacy... and someone people aren't running the idiot out of town.
Just more attempts by Republicans to paint him as "the other" or "not one of us." They view the UN as a foreign entity and of course, the Kenyan socialist Muslim president will have more of an allegiance to them. And now after yesterday, Romney can be implicated in this too.

Aside from all the other drivel in your post, the UN is prima faica a foreign entity.

Sorry I am still taking oxycodone for the pain of this neuralgia that is acting up. It really looked right to me. And to think I looked at it 4-5 times before I clicked post! (Excuse my terrible typing for the next day or two please. I REALLY hate being drugged a LOT, but the alternative of the pain form the TN is 100% unacceptable.)
I do want every one of you to know that I have absolutely nothing personally against you. No matter how much we agree or disagree on any/all subjects, I can still consider each of you friends and I do not think any less of you as a human being merely because we disagree. I only hope that the same feeling can be reflected.

don't worry, RB, these debates are meaningless.
plus you have a much, much bigger shortcoming: you're a flyers fan. YUCK! how you can show your face 'round here... ;D

i went to my local county fair last night. had a blast. fair food is the best. the people there are the best. but . . . i would really hate to have a daughter nowadays. every middle school/freshman high school looking girl there, was dressed like a fucking jail bait whore.
I have so much respect for the Marines.. I really do..
in fact I respect all troops
but i have to say I get tired of hearing all the time how much I owe our troops.. they get paid and choose FREELY to join... they get paid by my tax dollars to defend me and the rest of us.. if they don't want to they don't have to join... the way people talk about our troops you'd think they were doing it as a free public service or something..
Like I said: I respect a marine big time.. Congratulations Rat Bastard on raising a marine. I'd be proud to have either of my boys be a marine. But I wouldn't expect or see why people should be so grateful to my children, if they were marines, for becoming marines. (Having said that I am pretty much against all war these days.. the odds of having a war one actually needed to fight seemed so small these days.. most wars are manufactured with lies) Presumably you do it because you want to do it and have a calling for it much like anythign else. If you don't you'd get into another line of work. Or you do it because its your only ticket out of a dead end existence. I respect our servicemen and women big time but I don't sit around thinking how grateful I should be to them every waking moment and it gets tiresome to hear that I should. Let me add that it is not a bad career to get into... if you can move up the ladder you can do pretty good for yourself.
Now if you were drafted then its a bit different in my opinion. If someone is drafted and send to fight for me, against his will and he still does it courageously then I'd have to say I really owe that person big time.
Maybe someone can explain to me what I'm missing, without being rude becuase I'm not trying to be rude.. I respect our troops and marines / seals are like the top in my book.

I couldn't agree more (and I served 10+ years in the Brit armed forces)
Same with cops and firefighters for that matter
It's a job they all had to APPLY for.
Thank you to all of them but enough of the hero worship already.
I have an issue with 'veterans preference' too. Now, I would look favorably on a veteran when hiring simply because of the work ethic that the military instills. But to have a program that forces people to hire them first unfairly discriminates against those who chose not to serve.
i went to my local county fair last night. had a blast. fair food is the best. the people there are the best. but . . . i would really hate to have a daughter nowadays. every middle school/freshman high school looking girl there, was dressed like a fucking jail bait whore.
oh man I wish i'd checked this fair out!
I love that "fucking jail bait whore" look!

Hutch I do not mean to be picking nits here but it is Marine not marine. That word is ALWAYS capitalized. I understand your point. At the same time, what they get paid is precious little. It surely is not worth the fact that they are writing a check that is payable up to and including their lives. What these men and women do IS what allows us to sit here and be jerk wads to each other then right after go out and grab a brew (or in my case a Mt Dew) together. So yeah IMHO we do owe them a thank you.

I have no idea how much troops get paid or what kind of benefits they get but with that rationale any amount they were to get paid would not be enough as life is priceless. At the end of the day it is a job and I think if someone picks a job, even if dangerous, at a specified pay rate then.. well, thank you but you did not have to pick that job. [ rereading this a few seconds after posting and I'm not satisified with it: obviously many many people who pick military service do so out of a desire to serve our country so I am very thankful they want to do that..my brother in law was an officer for a few years and I can't say enough about his backbone]
I'll tell you how much I respect our troops. I would never send them into harms way for no reason and I would never send them in harms way if I wasn't able to provide them the health care they need when they return from battle. I would never make up a war to send troops and I would get them out as quickly as possible. Having said that troops don't just fight wars; their mere existence helps keep you safe by deterring aggressors, etc.
But I think this whole "we must thank the troops every day" is just jingoistic baloney meant to keep the war machine going and eliminate war protests of any sort.
In any case a United States Marine is pretty fuckin' awesome. There is just no argument on that... congratulations.
My current boss is an ex 20+ year U.S. Marine. Unfortunately he never left. His management skills are that of a boot camp drill seargeant. He barks, yells and belittles constantly. I've tried to remind him on several occasions that shit doesn't fly on civvy street but he can't help himself. For example, last week one of the porters left the windows open in a Range Rover then it pissed down and flooded the interior of the vehicle. This was his way of dealing with it..."YOU FUCKING MORON....YOU JUST COST ME A THOUSAND DOLLARS....I OUGHT TO RAM MY DICK UP YOUR ARSE.....FUCKING RETARD....FUCK UP LIKE THAT ONE MORE TIME AND YOU'LL END UP FACE DOWN IN THE CANAL OUT BACK....LEARN FUCKING ENGLISH SO YOU'LL KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I'M TALKING ABOUT" This was in the middle of the repair shop for all to witness. I can't believe someone hasn't reported him yet. I've told him had I wanted to be screamed at all day by a lunatic on a power rush I would've stayed in the armed forces and got myself a full pension.
That's the down side of hiring some ex-Marines...it tends to be Marines too.
Fortunately his screaming goes in one ear and out the other so doesn't bother me.

Again not to be nit picking but....
1) The Marine Corps has Drill Instructors, not Drill Sergeants.
2) No such thing as an ex-Marine, seriously there isn't. :)
3) unfortunately we have superiors who went to the Atilla the Hun leadership school in all walks of life. In this case it was merely exacerbated by the time in the Corps (IMHO).
4) (Almost forgot) GO FLYERS!

It's not just the jar heads (bootnecks if you're a Brit Marine) that teaches you things that never EVER leave you. So yes I do understand completely. You could say 'once a *fill in preferred branch of military here* always a *preferred branch of military*. That is not exclusive to you lot. We just have the capability to move on and not relive the glory days constantly.
Why do marines march in front of sailors?
Cause they love seamen in the rear ...

"Marines" and yes it is different. Its OK if you do not accept that though.
Yeah, okay....of course it is. It must be the frontal lobotomy they give marines during third week of marine boot camp.
CLINT EASTWOOD DELIVERS REMARKS AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
Don't knock Twitter, where else can you watch a bunch of wingnuts argue with a fake twitter account for a fictional TV character. Yup people were arguing with a fake Will McAvoy account last night...

Where else? Why, Facebook! Happens all the time.
Alright Hutch, even you will have to admit that the forcing in of the revision to include the "undivided Jerusalem" line into the Democratic party platform that Obama specifically ordered be included is offensive.
The concert analogy was pretty spot on. Precisely why I called it a performance.

Nah Facebook is for Birthday's, Babies, Weather and complaining...

yeah yeah... we know you're in fantasyland over there where Obama and Romney are the same etc etc... go back to the Chomsky board or something!
:D
of course it was a performance! the democratic party is like a giant corporation and bill clinton is a major shareholder. So what? I like the democratic corporation.
I mean the other corporation is a disgrace.
Expect your Ron Paul 2016 bumpersticker to arrive any day now... and there is a difference unless you have a strong desire to return to a fictionalized 50s mindset
Expect your Ron Paul 2016 bumpersticker to arrive any day now... and there is a difference unless you have a strong desire to return to a fictionalized 50s mindset
Tell me their differences. I mean not what they say about certain issues becuase we know neither one will do anything about gay marriage or abortion. I am sure both plan to borrow the country into bankruptcy. I am sure neither will put money into the national park system. I am sure neither is going to have a war on poverty. Neither will stop our war mongering and giving billions away to foreign governments. None will lower the costs of a college education. None will actually provide money to help people in trouble with upside down mortgages. Neither will legalize drugs which would actually cut down on crime. None would care about our inner cities. Neither cares about polution. Obama was going to have them drilling for oil off the coast of maryand. Neither is going to change the bankruptcy laws back to what they were before Biden let the credit card companies re-write them.
Why support either one? Unless you are a billionaire they aren't your candidates.
Expect your Ron Paul 2016 bumpersticker to arrive any day now... and there is a difference unless you have a strong desire to return to a fictionalized 50s mindset
Tell me their differences. I mean not what they say about certain issues becuase we know neither one will do anything about gay marriage or abortion. I am sure both plan to borrow the country into bankruptcy. I am sure neither will put money into the national park system. I am sure neither is going to have a war on poverty. Neither will stop our war mongering and giving billions away to foreign governments. None will lower the costs of a college education. None will actually provide money to help people in trouble with upside down mortgages. Neither will legalize drugs which would actually cut down on crime. None would care about our inner cities. Neither cares about polution. Obama was going to have them drilling for oil off the coast of maryand. Neither is going to change the bankruptcy laws back to what they were before Biden let the credit card companies re-write them.
Why support either one? Unless you are a billionaire they aren't your candidates.
Why support either one? Well presumably because one believes that one candidate reflects their own personal views more than the other. It is not that complicated really...
What the fuck is "clean coal?"
that clinton speech was simply masterful. obama's was good, apparently it resonated with the missus more than it did with me.What the fuck is "clean coal?"
it's part technology, and part marketing campaign. the coal industry has developed ways or reducing the impact of burning coal. but that reduction is way over-stated, ignores CO2 completely, and doesn't touch the environmental impact of extraction and transportation of such an un-dense energy source.
the dems are clearly trying to recapture certain themes and demographics that have traditionally been republican strongholds until now: security, veterans, family values... and energy independence. there are a lot of states in the "coal belt" that need to hear the words "clean coal" before they'll give the dems a second look.
the President, on purpose, did not want to deliver what would be considered a "masterful" speech. That would just feed into the "this guy delivers good speeches but all they are is good speeches..." narrative.
that was the case last night.. as weird as it seems there was more to gain from a solid speech than a great one.
it all fell apart this morning when the new job numbers came out... the President- unbelievably- can win reelection but the job numbers are just not good enough. Of course Romney hasn't said one word about how he would create jobs. ( there is very little the President can do about job numbers but people just can't accept that...)

That's like saying your team really didn't play to win after they just got spanked. Just a poor excuse for a bad performance. I didn't watch the speech (or Romney's) They're scripted recitals written by a paid ghost writer so completely meaningless if you ask me.
What people should be voting for is action and results, and this President has failed miserably so it's time to give someone else a try. Like him or not, at least Romney has created jobs.
I can not wait until December.
OK, November right after the election.agreed
I was giving it a few weeks after so that the losing side will chill out a little bit.
Election talk and "my party is so good, yours sucks" talk gets really old.

Come on Frank! You're better than parroting talking points peddled by the Republicans.
You say he created jobs? How? He refuses to talk about his time at Bain. Bain was a COMPANY which is not the same thing as a COUNTRY. A COMPANY investing money in other COMPANIES that already existed is not really comparable to how the largest economy in the world operates. As President what is he going to do, invest in companies to create jobs, load them with debt, and walk away with the money? I mean be serious please.
The only real evidence of Romney's ability to create jobs leading the Executive branch of government is his time as Governor of Massachusetts and we know the state ranked 47th in job creation during his tenure. Of course he won't talk about that either. Myth Romney indeed.
Bottom line: we have not heard one word about HOW he will create jobs.
Think of the case of Spain. They had left wing govt. the economy tanked.. they lost millions of jobs.. they threw the left out and brought in the right. They keep losing jobs just the same.
I guess your argument boils down to: President Obama has failed so give this other guy a chance regardless. The only problem with this is that President Obama hasn't failed as much as he hasn't succeeded to the degree we wish. It will be up to the American people to determine how it feels about the President's track record vs the challenger's promises.

I can assure you any parrotting of the republican is purely coincidental, because I've not listened to a single word of their drivvel either.
Romney has created jobs, met a payroll and more importantly, operated within a budget. Operating within a budget is the biggest difference between running a country and a multi national company. As Barry has shown us, if you're a government and you need more capital just print more moolah!!!
Don't be mistaken, I have never voted Republican before, and a registered Independent who voted Democrat. That is until the Democrats desserted ME! History will show Obama to the worst President in modern history, although Carter may want to hold on to that honor.
I suppose if you only care about yourself and only into the future 5+- years, then Obama isn't a bad option. If you have kids and want what all parents want, to leave the world a better place than you found it for your kids sake, then Obama has got to go.....(that was not a personal dig, just how I see it)
November spawned a monster - btw......
*edit* a better choice of words would've been 'if you only have yourself to worry about' not 'if you only care about yourself'.....

Most of this. And I will add this question. Are we sure Romney's net job creation number is in the green? Outsourced jobs count as negatives. I would guess that if anything, Romney's tenure at Bain resulted in more job losses than creation.
My beef with Obama is still that he has capitulated on way too many issues and shows no sign of stopping. And whenever I try to see passed this, (really, I want to vote for him and be comfortable in doing so) something new to complain about bubbles up. If only all these capitulations appeased the idiots that he bends over backwards to please.
I mean people are going to call him a socialist regardless of what he does; might as well actually be a socialist. People are going to accuse him of throwing Israel under the bus even if he doubles the aid to Israel tomorrow. Might as well at least pretend to be an honest broker between them and the Palestinians. People are going to say that he cares too much about the environment. Might as well mention the ills of fracking and try to get a ban passed. Guess what I am saying is that all these supposed compromises are for nothing. If anything, they make him look weak.

He HAS thrown Israel under the bus.
You CAN'T negotiate with the Palestinians. They want the extintion of Israel and they're not budging.
Nothing wrong with caring for the environment, but he can't see the trees for the forest in that regard.
He ONLY compromises after he's lost the debate.
There, straightforward enough replies for you?
Honestly i'm more concerned about who is going to be able to nominate future supreme court justices, that last thing this country needs is an even more conservative minded court who will likely over turn much of the progress made since the 50s. All we need is the ilk of the Koch Brothers challenging all the way the Supreme Court anything they don't like, so it can be overturned,etc.

Unless Frank is one of those so concerned about the deficit but feels its necessary to spend far more than we do on the military and tax cuts for the wealthy.
Also, I can't see how President Obama will ever be remembered as the worst president. Just for taking out Osama Bin Laden alone- and as Commander in Chief he will get the credit in the history books like it or not- he would be placed above many others. A lot will have to do with whether he can win reelection but it is certainly possible he will (betting markets are betting he will defeat Romney), despite the economy, it is not hard to envision a scenario where the US economy strengthens and his legacy is burnished. Health Care Reform would be preserved and fully implemented and would go down in US history as a major accomplishment. In addition, he would have extricated the country out of two long wars, etc. etc. Supposing no terrorist attacks on US soil in the next four years, under this scenario, President Obama would be remembered as one of the greats.
Frank, I really am going to need some better reasons for why President Obama is the worst president in history. If you don't give me any I won't be able to help, and I know it can't be true, thinking you're one of those wackjobs on the right who just plain hate him because of, well you know....
This may well be wishful thinking at this point but it could happen. ;D
My final thought for tonight is to thank Josh publicly. My friend you have given me and my dad so many great times and memories over the last few years as he and I are reuniting. Never forget that sometimes even the small things you do can deeply touch others. You are a very good man and my life is much better for being able to count you among my friends.

My random thought contribution...ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET
On Saturday, my daughter and I went shopping at Giant. We proceeded to participate in some kind of silly treasure hunt game they had set up. At the end, you turned in your game card and they checked it to see if you were the grand prize winner. All the while, my daughter was skipping through the store proclaiming that we were going to be the winners. I tried to explain to her to not get too excited, that only one shopper all day could be the winner.
We checked out, she took the card up, and voila, we were the grand prize winners of $400 in Giant gift cards. Guess I need to take my daughter lottery ticket shopping.
Then a couple hours later, just to prove that life aint too grand, I flipped over my mountain bike handlebars, broke my spare pair of eyeglasses i was wearing, and fractured my rib. Could have been much worse, as I hit the ground head first, but my helmet saved me.
God I hope so! Brazilians are hot and the coolest..

'African American' is a load of bollocks. As long as I'm 'white' and not 'European American' I will continue to use 'black' not 'African American'...it's all moot anyway because blacks like to use the oh-so-offensive term 'N-word' as a term of endearment to each other.

This came up in conversation at my workplace recently. It was during a lunch celebrating 'Black History Month' (not African American History Month BTW) The general consencious amongst the black staff was "black" is just fine. African American was seen to be a little silly and overly-pc.
latino comes from the word "latin" so it still applies to Spain/Portugal... and worse yet, it includes france, italy, romania, etc. so latino is even "more wrong" than hispanic.
I can't tell if a few folks are being ironic or just slightly ignorant? Apologies if it's the former and not the latter.
But, y'all do realize there isn't a collective 'They' with black folks just like there isn't for white folks? 'They' don't get together and decide to change things up with the nomenclature.
In reality, all sorts of people (usually with agendas) change the meaning of words/labels. This in turn leads to a change in the way some people want to be identified.
For example, some conservatives have endlessly flagellated the word 'liberal' from it's actual meaning - 'a political ideology that advocates free markets, limited government, constitutionalism, rule of law, due process, and individual liberties' to 'DERP, COMMUNIST, main-stream-media-employed, derp, unpatriotic, Socialist, government entitled leech, enviro-nitwit!'
How do you upset the set up? Evolve and modify your identity ... Progressive!

I answered it in the first three sentences.
Just like all other races, the majority of Black people don't care.
Seriously how many of you have actually come across more than one person who objected to being called 'black'? (That actually was black.)
What's more ignorant is the assumption that the collective race is lumped together in one thought and desire.
I don't think so Slappy.. As a race African Americans all agreed they did not want to be called "niggers." That is a fact.
There is nothing wrong with talking about race and I resent any such implication or the implication I'm an asshole for caring about how African Americans would like to be referred to. Give me a fucking break dude.
Mr. Natural, did you ever consider that maybe you ought to get your anger issues under control rather than constantly expecting everyone else to adjust to your peculiarities? If they use the word Spic, hey, I'll get angry WITH you. Hispanic, Latino, whatever, just deal with it. Yeah, okay, you can get specific with exactitudes but, seriously, is that really worth the stress?
According to the origins of the word Hispanic, and what I know about some far roots of my ancestry, I'm, in part, Hispanic. According to the definition of Latino with it's Latin roots, my deep French roots would consider me a Latina. Hey, cool! But somehow, I suspect that if I went around calling myself Hispanic and Latino, Hutch would blow a gasket. As it is, I wouldn't bother only because it would be too confusing. I'll stick with Euro Mutt but not because it makes life more stress-free for ol' Mr. Natural. Chill out, man. We're all part of the Human Race... except maybe for Kosmo who is from a whole other Funky Mod world of Vinyl. ;)
When did they add new parking restrictions in the Black Cat/9:30 residential areas? There's lots of signage now with restrictions for zone 1-2 permits-only and 7am-midnight time restrictions. Not every block, but still all over the place. Pay attention to the signs when you park.
Fine, i'll stay out of the city and keep my money in the suburbs. See how they like that.When did they add new parking restrictions in the Black Cat/9:30 residential areas?

Hey Hutch, as a Latino does it make you angry that some people try to argue that Mike Trout deserves the MVP more than Miguel Cabrera, in spite of Miggy leading his team to the playoffs (that which Mike Trout didn't do in spite of having Albert Pujols for a teammate) and being on the cusp of the first triple crown in 45 freaking years?

I'm sure the residents of this neighborhood, whom the Residential Parking Program benefits, would like that just fine.
DC seems to get a perverse pleasure in screwing over non-residents

i will continue to completely tune out any complaints like this until we enact a commuter tax.
more specifically, DC needs to continue to aggressively implement performance parking. parking on public city streets should be priced to accurately reflect the cost. this is a good, concise summary:
"Dupont Circle, like most of DC's busy neighborhoods, has far more demand for parking than supply of on-street spaces. Right now, we allocate the limited resource of spaces in one way. The meeting will discuss whether to allocate them in a different way."

Really? I think non-residents should at least be able to tell where they can park!
Listen I lived in DC for 15 years so I hear you... I just don't think people shoud be ripped off with things like the paper fare card.. Yeah, lets screw over tourists! That will show them!

what's so confusing? parking seems pretty straightforward to me. every parkable street i've seen has signs that designates hours and limits, zone, and street sweeping. if there's no sign, it's fair game for anyone. if it's meters, the meter calls out the restrictions.

Commuter tax in to DC. That's the most retarded suggestion I've heard in a long time.

This article on Emily White is a good read. (http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/articles/43338/hey-internet-girl-everyone-had-something-to-say-this-summer/) Amanda Palmer still sucks, though.
And David Lowery is a stupid buffoon and I still don't understand why his response to the White piece was praised so highly by almost everybody.
I'll be over here downloading some CVB albums.
Oh I see Amanda is allowing fans to play with her at shows and somehow that is bad because she isn't paying them. Whatever. I guess the backlash comes from people who nothing about how amanda's shows work.
Pay your employees. This is America.Oh I see Amanda is allowing fans to play with her at shows and somehow that is bad because she isn't paying them. Whatever. I guess the backlash comes from people who nothing about how amanda's shows work.

They are not her employees. Her band is payed. She just invited fans to play at each show. Which is actually cool. But I guess they need to backlash her because she quit her record label and did things herself and is actually doing well.

Consider them on-site temps. They should be paid. You don't beg your fans for a million dollars, then, after getting it a million dollars, beg for them to play in your band, then pay them with hugs. It's like demanding a tax break so that you can supposedly create jobs domestically and then, after getting a tax break, moving the jobs overseas.
I know theyre playing Baltimore but gotdamn, I wish Pig Destroyer were playing DC
Professional musicians are honored best when they are treated as professional musicians. Sure, if hobbyist players want to play for free, fine. But you get what you pay for.
I've heard from many professional musicians trying to start a career or just get a little scratch who are routinely asked to play for free at weddings. Yet the wedding party will pay for the catering, photographer, minister, etc. These are musicians who have spent most of their lives honing their skills and paying tens of thousands of dollars for lessons and professional-grade instruments and their care. I've got friends who have played for presidents. They get paid.
It's lame for her to do this. Do you think she's going to charge less for her shows since members of the band are playing for free? Of course not, she's going to frantically stampede toward any and every dollar she can. So the ticket-buying fans are getting a discount amateur product but paying full rate.
She raised more than a million dollars from her fans, so she has the ability to pay musicians. Does she seriously require $1.2 million to make a record? What she's doing, and then trying to be all cutesy about it, sucks. I love the Albini line that this move demonstrates that Amanda Palmer is proving she's more stupid than every dumb-fucking band like Creed, Limp Bizkit, GG Allin, etc. who never needed to beg their fans for free money and services.
And really, she can say all she wants that she's just allowing her fans to play but that's similar to Vince Neil saying, hey I was just giving all those bitches a chance to fuck a rock star, and that doesn't make him any less of a pig.
She has put out 4 classic albums which have been ignored by everyone except her fans.
ANd who is steve albini?
don't you think Amanda Palmer was really into "RENT: The Musical"?
Shit, it seems like the whole freaking indie scene has gone Glee.
I like the new Red Kross too. Walkonby, how exactly have they changed? They've pretty much been playing throwback power pop since they were teenagers.

even if they have free form radio stations they suck. Baltimore has WTMD which is pretty awful they end up playing a bunch of stupid paul simon songs and other lame stuff like that. I think the problem is the youth of the today has pretty lame taste in music so if you do free form you have to have someone good doing it. THey have weasel on during the weekends if you really want to hear lame music with 15 minutes of talking about the song to prove how smart he is between the songs.
Though he sounds like he's yet to hit puberty, I'd hardly call Weasel a youth.

So what's the deal with men missing the urinal when they piss? Every fucking day I use the bathroom and someone has pissed on the floor. Today it was so bad, I started sliding on the floor as I pissed due to the piss on the floor and my lack of shoes with traction. Yet, I still manage to keep my piss in the urinal (which is well placed and at proper height), just as I have every day for the past 10 years.
We're in a small 22 person office that doesn't get much outside foot traffic. It has to be the same person doing it everyday, right?
How out of line would it be if I hung I sign saying "If you miss, please clean your piss."?

I don't know about favorite, but the absolutely WORST smelling bathroom in all of DC is the mens room in the basement of the East wing of the National Gallery. Piss all over the floor and it smells like it hasn't been cleaned for days.
I can never understand how men can miss the urinal like that.
Nor can I understand the reason why one urinal at the George Mason library is always filled with toilet paper. Is this some custom praticed by foreign students?

In retrospect I do agree that attempting to move her leg was not a good move, however punching somebody in the head is rarely a proper response to ANYTHING in life, particularly as something as non-threatening as someone attempting to move your leg (from a place it shouldn't be).You should not touch anyone, even if you do not agree with what they are doing.

When somebody's taking extra seats I always just look at them and then the seat like i'm gonna sit there and they always accomodate. Not always happily, but this always works when I do it.

Slayer song that was playing on my ipod.
Okay, there is no way in God's green Earth that James Ford was listening to Slayer.
You should not touch anyone, even if you do not agree with what they are doing. While i dont agree with what the girl was doing, I definitely do not agree with you touching her. Her punching your head was an appropriate response.
i actually see nothing wrong with this response. After living in NYC long enough, you learn to NEVER EVER EVER touch anyone for anything. Id have punched someone too if they touched my leg. Ive had guys put their hands on me, grope me in crowded trains, and ive elbowed more than my share. Im used to beyond crowded trains (people pushing in as doors are closing) so if you *have* to sit, wait for another train. Good luck tho - as you cant always assume there is one right behind. In NYC your odds are much better, but in DC maybe not.
Its an extreme response, but touching someone for any reason that you dont know, is f'ing insane.You should not touch anyone, even if you do not agree with what they are doing.

This is how wars start. Seems like a more civilized response would be to move your leg from where it doesn't belong.
If you're going to advocate punching someone (which I don't), maybe advocate punching them in the arm. Or even elbow them in the gut. A punch to the face can do serious damage.i actually see nothing wrong with this response. After living in NYC long enough, you learn to NEVER EVER EVER touch anyone for anything.

Why? My username? Do I post in a feminine manner?
It remind me of all the people at the 930 club who excuse/push themselves by me and then stand right in front of me and then i have to pick them up and move them out of the way. Of course in these situations it is always guys who do it so I don't have to worry about them punching me in the back of the head.

Really? I find that women do that more often than men. And they're usually reasonably attractive, and seem to think that fact alone makes such behavior acceptable. Though maybe I'm projecting since I myself am not an attractive female.It remind me of all the people at the 930 club who excuse/push themselves by me and then stand right in front of me and then i have to pick them up and move them out of the way.

Egypt, Palestine, Syria, Iran etc just need to accept Israel is not going anywhere and deal with it.. their governments and leadership are selling their people a load of BS and false hope....Israel is here to stay whether they like it or not..they had their chance to do something about it at the beginning and they blew it....now its too late for them.
when you hear the new leader of Egypt hasn't yet mentioned the word "Israel" one time what are you supposed to think?
Or they can elect islamists and ratchet up tensions but Israel isnt' going to go anywhere and will kick all their asses..
I don't much care for the state of Israel or Netanyahu (I can't stand the guy) but come on Arabs and Palestinians .. lets get serious and deal with reality as is and not what we want it to be.
To me, the situation most reminded me of a number of simliar situations I encountered in my 13 years of riding a school bus as a public school student.
Often it was the case that some redneck asshole would drape his foot across the seat, not letting anybody sit down next to him/her. It was the norm to ask, then if denied, push the asshole's leg out of the way so you could sit down. This actually happened to me and I'm sure countless other bus riders a number of times.
I can't remember if the asshole ever responded with a punch to the head. But if he/she did respond that way, and it was observed by the bus driver, I'm quite certain no bus driver who was properly doing their job would side on the side of the asshole and deem a punch to the head as appropriate. The asshole would likely be reprimanded with some kind of punishment, and the person who had stood up for his/her right to sit down would go unpunished.
Anyway, like I said...I personally won't bother with these assholes anymore. I'm glad I'm not a regular Metro rider and I'm glad my daughter will never have to ride a school bus to school.

The aid is insane and makes no sense at this point. Goes to show what lobbyists with deep pockets can accomplish.
With that said, this last provocation was stupid and gives the right wing elements in the Israeli government the excuse to indiscriminantly kill under the guise of self defense that they are looking for.

What if the Arab nations had accepted the original UN delination of Israel, giving them Gaza and the West Bank and splitting Jerusalem, and instead of committing to unending war actually made an effort to help the Palestinian people?? They chose a path of hate and death instead of life. Dead end dogma and propaganda and haplessness instead of education and improvement. That's how they blew it.
Precisely. Anybody would have resisted if they were faced with such a predicament. And Israel's continuing to forcefully expand (while all this Gaza stuff is going on, they are building new settlements in the West Bank as we speak) is just as big an obstacle to peace as anything Hamas has done.....Israel is here to stay whether they like it or not..they had their chance to do something about it at the beginning and they blew it....now its too late for them.

what if you had a house.... and you shared it with someone... that person left and you lived in it for over a thousand years..maybe 1800 years.. don't know exactly how long..
suddenly the person comes back..
someone else you don't really know tells you "Hey, you got to split the house with your old roomie...he's had a really rough time lately.. nothing you did mind you"
would you say yes?

Because we would have to rush right after work to the concert probably get stuck in beltway traffic and arrive when Mumford is just starting to play. It won't be very romantic rushing and being stuck in traffic. If I lived in northern virginia I would have gone.

well you agreed to not to celebrate, how romantic. I am sure that just pleases your wife so much. Let me guess you don't buy christmas gifts, birthday gifts, or celebrate your anniversery?
Well why do you care which holidays i celebrate. People miss concerts because of Easter and Yom Kippur, I don't come on here and tell them they are slaves to religion.
can you bring good beer?
So my office has decided to hold our annual holiday party on January 15. Yes, I have a government job and hence that's why it doesn't makes sense.
Don't worry, no tax dollars fund the party...it's potluck held in our office.
First they take the Christ our of Christmas, now they take the Christmas out of Christmas.

Susan Rice's disgusting display after Palestine was recognized today is proof that she is not ready to be Secretary of State.
I always try and catch the openers, you see some great bands that way that you'll probably never see or hear about again.

It went beyond that. It sounded more like the Likud Party policy than anything. I know that this administration has been the worst ever (yes, worse than Reagan and GWB) w/r/t Israel/Palestine but these quotes (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/30/world/middleeast/Palestinian-Authority-United-Nations-Israel.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0) are shameful even for them.

Not sure how true this is? But it's awesome just the same
When Joe Strummer first told the band?s label, CBS, that they wanted London Calling to be a double album, their request was denied. As compensation The Clash then asked whether they could include a free single with the album. CBS not only complied, but were also conned into agreeing to a 12-inch single that played at 33 1/3 rpm. Accordingly this ?free single? was to become a second nine track LP (sides 3 and 4). By the time CBS realised they?d been duped, it was too late: The Clash issued London Calling as a double LP, retailing at the price of a standard single LP.

I don't buy this as being true as didn't they have a triple album? And I find it hard to believe Joe Strummer could be smart enough to trick a record company but stupid enough to kick the guy with all the talent out of the clash.
and besides it was well known at the time that The Clash took a cut in royalties or whatever in order to get Sandinsta out as a triple album. and it was ego, drugs, personality clashes, etc that lead to the ouster of Mick Jones from The Clash. Right before Joe's death the reconciliation had occurred between him and Mick.

As the king is reappointed more US citizens are killed overseas and nothing is done. I can only imagine it is because since they are now dead they can no longer vote for him so why bother. Thank god we have no more than four years left of this fucking douche bag as our imperial leader.

Complaining about people dying in wars that your party started, and whining about the handling of an economy that your party ruined, and being outraged at do-nothing politics when your party is the one refusing to compromise, is exactly what ignorant traitors to this country like Ratbastard do.
Rather than take responsibility for their mistakes and petty actions, they blame others and call them silly nicknames because people like Ratbastard revel in their ignorance. It's so much easier to be ignorant and call the president whacky names and point fingers and talk about how everything always is their fault. Ratbastard, do you ever stop and think about how your actions and the actions of those aligned with your point of view prevent the country from moving forward?
Haha that was a trick question, of course you would never do that because you're incapable of intelligent thought. This country would be so much better off without lazy, ignorant people like you. It's really incredible to think about.

I would hope most rational human beings would be upset with "this drone craziness."
all the polling data on drones (of which there is surprisingly little) shows that Americans really love their flying autonomous death robots. A whopping 83 percent of Americans approve of the Obama administration?s use of the aircraft to kill terrorists, according to the most recent Washington Post/ABC News poll on the subject, from February 2012. The same poll found that 65 percent of Americans favor the use of drones against American citizens suspected of terrorism overseas.
But it gets worse. Among self-described liberal Democrats, fully 77 percent endorse the use of drones against terrorist targets. On the question of killing Americans in drone strikes, Democrats approved of the use 58-33 percent, as did liberals, 55-35 percent, as the Post?s Greg Sargent pointed out last year.
Well that's true, but as I say to my wife all the time "When you think everyone is wrong, chances are you're the one not right" or something like that.

I'm not criticizing the show, though Joe Scarborough is a dickhead conservative prick who pushed MIGHTILY to deny basic human rights to the working class when he was in the House.
I'm saying that MSNBC, which does lean left, has a highly promoted program hosted by an establishment conservative. Does Fox News have a highly promoted program hosted by a liberal?

how is that a good thing? olympic wrestling is a real sport, and it's one of the originals - ancient greeks wrestled.
i can't see how eliminating a sport is a good thing. if you don't like it, fine, don't watch. those who have spent years training in hopes of making it to the olympics are about to be very disappointed.

ending wrestling at the olympics is insane.. if you're going to end something end something like tennis or one of the highly professional sports like soccer.. sports that have no business being in the olympics...
it is precisely a sport like wrestling that the olympics should be all about. a sport that as far as i know is largely amateur and doesn't have much visibility outside the olympics...
So my favorite holiday of the year is coming up. So anyone doing anything interesting for valentines day?

I agree about Tennis and Soccer. Tennis these guys play each other all the time. As for Soccer you have the world cup. Baseball would be interesting if mlb would let their players play.

All men's tennis is any more is who can serve the hardest. They should add a new fault on service for exceeding the maximum allowable serve speed. Force these guys to REALLY learn the entire game.

Went to the eye doctor yesterday to get new glasses. he gave me some eye drops for dryness I have been having as a result of the meds I am taking for the neurological issues I have. Today I could not find the eye drops and looked for them for about 20-30 minutes before heading out for lunch around 1:00. Just now at 7:00 I found the eye drops... in my jeans pocket!

iron Sheik
THREATENS OLYMPIC OFFICIALS
'I Swear to the Jesus I Suplex Them'
Exclusive
The Iron Sheik isn't just a WWE legend ... he's also a veteran Olympic wrestler ... and he's so pissed that his sport is getting booted from the Games ... he's now threatening violence.
As we previously reported, the International Olympic Committee has moved to drop wrestling from the 2020 games ... in favor of other sports like field hockey. Seriously.
Now, Sheik -- who says he competed for Iran in the 1968 Olympics and then became an asst. coach for Team USA in the '70s -- tells TMZ (in his trademark broken English) he's looking to take matters into his own hands.
"After 1000 years they take away the best sport in the world? This is the first time the dumb motherf**kers have no balls for they make the walking an Olympic sport."
He adds, "If I see anybody on the street that work from the IOC I swear to the Jesus I suplex them put them in camel clutch break their back make them humble."
"The #TEAMSHEIKIE respect the Olympic now they can all go f**k themselves and make the Curling Olympic sport because they all the biggest piece of no good s**t and I never watch the Olympic again. Also buy my t shirt [on my website] or go f**k yourself.?
It's a little confusing ... but we think we get the point..

I may be wrong but I don't think they sweeten the tea then take the sweetening agent back out so it really isn't 'unsweetened' is it? Shouldn't it be sold as 'sweetened' on 'non-sweetened' tea? Just wondering...http://www.thefreedictionary.com/unsweetened

Adj. 1. unsweetened - not made sweet
nonsweet, sugarless - not containing sugar
Non-sweetened and unsweetened mean the Same thing. It doesnt mean DE-Sweetened, THAT is what adding Sweetener, and taking it out would be.
Its like the word Unnecessary, or NOT necessary.
In the South (where I grew up, never got into tea), MOST people drink their tea sweet. They dont ask for a sweet tea usually, just a tea (or "ice tea"). If they want it non-sweetened they use the correct term, unsweetened, to ask for it.
I would guess that their is a much higher incidence of diabetes in the south due to mostly their sweet tea.

It is a southern thing (sweet tea). I am not a tea drinker at all, it literally makes me nauseated. I am told though that it does make a difference in the taste if tea is sweetened while it is still hot, then iced as opposed to sweetening tea after it has been iced. On another note, Kim swears by the ice tea flavor vodka that has been out for a bit now.

Absolutely true about the tea providing you are talking about real tea and not that crappy artificial stuff. Same is true with alcohol, within moderation, of course.

I had a dream once that I somehow got blasted back to 1982 and was invited to tour with Black Flag for some reason. While sitting in the front seat of the van between Henry and Dukowski, I pulled out my iPod and was playing Dio for them and they were completely blown away by the fact that I had thousands of albums on the thing. I was a hero to Black Flag.
Listening to Ibrahim Ferrer tonight....
this still bugs me! boy am i glad we don't live under the Republicans..Bush was an abomination.

Bush is not as bad as Obama
?What I think is absolutely true is it?s not sufficient for citizens to just take my word for it that we?re doing the right thing. ? There has never been a drone used on an American citizen on American soil. We respect and have a whole bunch of safeguards in terms of how we conduct counterterrorism operations outside of the United States. The rules outside of the United States are going to be different than the rules inside the United States.? ? President Barack Obama, in a Google + hangout, Feb. 14.
?Since when is the intelligence agency supposed to be an air force of drones that goes around killing people? I believe that it has to be the Department of Defense.? ? Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), on ?Fox News Sunday,? Feb. 10.
?It just makes me uncomfortable that the president, whoever it is, is the prosecutor, the judge, the jury and the executioner, all rolled into one. So I?m not suggesting something that would slow down response. But where there is time to submit it to a third party, a court, in confidence, and get a judgment that, yes, there?s sufficient evidence, that feels to me like that?s, its not full compliance with the Fifth Amendment ? but some independent check on our executive is healthy for the system.? ? Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), on CNN?s ?State of the Union,? Feb. 10.
?Here you have something truly chilling. Here you have the United States government saying, we can kill you, American citizen. You have no constitutional right to a jury by your peers. You have no constitutional right even to probable cause or to due process. You have no right to a lawyer. You have no right to counsel. You have no right to anything. If we suspect you, just suspect you, without evidence, that you were thinking about committing an act against the United States of America, we can kill you.? ? MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, on ?Morning Joe,? Feb. 6.
?Do the United States and its people really want to tell those of us who live in the rest of the world that our lives are not of the same value as yours? That President Obama can sign off on a decision to kill us with less worry about judicial scrutiny than if the target is an American? Would your Supreme Court really want to tell humankind that we, like the slave Dred Scott in the 19th century, are not as human as you are? I cannot believe it. I used to say of apartheid that it dehumanized its perpetrators as much as, if not more than, its victims.? ?Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in a letter to the editor of the New York Times, Feb. 11.
?The president, a politician, Republican or Democrat, should never get to decide someone?s death by flipping through some flash cards and saying, ?You want to kill him? Yeah, let?s go ahead and kill him?.? ? Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), on CNN?s ?State Of The Union,? Feb. 10.
I guess the problem is this: you could send 100,000 US troops and look for the person of you could just use a drone to kill the enemy or our country. I guess it is much more easy for the public to accept the second option and it is a lot cheaper. 65 million people were killed during world war 2. In the big picture killing a few thousand by drone to prevent bigger wars is probably the better solution.
I've never watched an episode of Homeland.
I just watched a little Doomsday Preppers for the first time. These people are not well. They should be locked away in padded sells and should not be living among us.
Politics bore me right now. The election is over. Obama is at least trying to raise the minimum wage. The republicans are a complete disaster. They block the domestic abuse bill, they try to block raising the federal workers pay by half a percentage. I am sure they will block raising the minimum wage. They should just go away and another alternative party should come and replace them.
Bush is not as bad as Obama
and then you wonder why we can't take anything you say seriously.
bush: started a WAR because it would please his daddy (explain that to the families of the thousands of soldiers that have died in iraq). illegal wiretaps = PROVEN erosion of constitutional rights (for the under-informed right-wingnuts, it's the right against unreasonable search and seizure).
obama: ensure that you have healthcare and *might* do something about automatic weapons, at some point.
yeah, really valid comparison. you keep your beliefs, RB, the liberals will keep running the country. enjoy :-*

3) Anyone receiving any sort of public assistance should be drug tested and if they fail they lose the assistance for life.
4) Anyone receiving any sort of public assistance should not be allowed to vote. It is an absolute prima facia conflict of interest.
so people who get social security, medicade are also not going to be able to vote. but that doesn't really matter anyways because old people don't usually have driver licenses or government id anyways...
what's next shall we close the Veterans Administration, not pass GI Bills, not doing anything about Corporate Welfare.
how about people who have worked several years for a company who then decide to close it's plants to ship jobs overseas. did those people make poor choices?

Someone ought to come up with a calendar of the 'Morrissey Rant of the Day'. Here's a new one to file under the 'Prima Dona' collection.
"Morrissey is thankful for being invited to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live tomorrow, February 26. However, he cannot morally be on a television program where the cast members of Duck Dynasty will also be guests. Morrissey would be honored to play the show, if Duck Dynasty were removed."
I would have asked what Duck Dynasty is but then I realized that I really didn't want to know.
Simply put, poor people kill each other more often.
So why is Ratbastard still alive?
i don't watch tv..thinking of getting rid of cable...without the beIN channel its worthless to me...
What are you doing for in market games? I tried a few proxies but never had good results.i don't watch tv..thinking of getting rid of cable...without the beIN channel its worthless to me...
This. As soon as the BPL has an online veiwing scheme in America similar to MLB, I'm ditching cable all together. But right now, I can't Manchester United matches any other way...
What are you doing for in market games? I tried a few proxies but never had good results.
"As far as my reputation is concerned, I can't take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers. If Jimmy cannot dump Duck Dynasty then we must step away."
"As far as my reputation is concerned, I can't take the risk of being on a show alongside people who, in effect, amount to animal serial killers. If Jimmy cannot dump Duck Dynasty then we must step away."
i wonder if any of this has anything to do with the fact that Marr has a well received solo album coming out this week..

sounds like morrisey has a beef . . . with obscurity and nobody caring about him anymore.
On the other hand, there was a great interview with Marr on SiriusXM the past couple days. What a delight!
Don't hold your breath on a reunion though.
Well of course he's taking checks, he's sure not making any money from his laughable "web design" company. It's always "government get off our backs but my check better not be two seconds late" which is why the most conservative states are the ones that suck the most government funds. Retarded republicans like him just blame every one else, preferably a minority, for their own dumbness and then call themselves patriots.
The only government checks I ever took, I earned while serving the country to allow the liberals to have the right to live off of other people's money and to yell that everyone has to be accepting/tolerant of them while themselves being the most intolerant group in America.

It's always "mommy dressed me funny", "daddy didn't tell me he loved me", "the system is stacked against me", "the man is keeping me down", or some such nonsense all while using lines like "I just want whats coming to me". The funny part of that is that if they really got what's coming to them they would not be able to deal with it.
Colbert's interview with Morrissey is probably some of the best television ever recorded. Colbert managed to hit most if not all of Morrissey's buttons in it.

She would regularly interact with mimes: ?lonely people who looked like they hadn?t talked to anyone in weeks,? and then, ?we would sort of fall in love a little bit.? For Palmer, the wordless exchange went something like this:
My eyes would say, ?Thank you. I see you.?
Their eyes would say, ?Nobody ever sees me. Thank you.
Palmer and her band crashed at the home of an 18-year-old fan and her family ? undocumented immigrants from Honduras. The family, says Palmer, slept on couches so Palmer and her band could take the beds; an arrangement that caused Palmer to wonder, ?Is this fair?? The next morning, says Palmer, the fan?s mother took the singer aside and, ?in her broken English,? said:
?Your music has helped my daughter so much. Thank you for staying here. We?re all so grateful.?

Guess Little Caesar wasn't going to be outdone by the Moz. That, and probably couldn't deal with someone having something he couldn't have. The little twerp has certainly lost my respect for such a careless move.

The last line of his story is what is wrong with America. Some scum sucking suit will take this case and because it is cheaper to pay than fight, this fucking moron will get money. Of course as with all of these sort of BS cases the cost will be passed on to consumers. The dude sounds like he has about a 3rd grade education.
is there an RSS feed that you subscribe to that provides you with these nonsense stories, or do you just search the internet, day and night, looking for something to shake your fist at?

What is wrong with america is people not going to work when there is no snow and pretending there is no snow. ANd then the next day they get to work after taking the day off with pay and post irrelevant stories that no one cares about but themselves.

An aging Atomicfront desperately clings to youth culture and an aging Hutch desperately clings to the cuture of his youth.yawn
And an aging James Ford is awakened at 6:45 am on a Saturday by an actual youth claiming it's time to get up because we're having a celebration for one of her stuffed animals.
Oh well, I'll look on the bright side. That gives me more time to do my nine mile run, drink half a Bigfoot, and listen to the new Mavericks album.
Hey, that's an album both of you can check out.
Atomicfront: It has accordian, and Melody Maker says accordian is the banjo of 2013.
Hutch: It has Latinos, and Rolling Stone once declared that J-Lo was in and Ben Affleck was out.

NYC soda ban (http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2013/03/11/judge-puts-cap-on-super-sized-soda-ban/)
what I found interesting is that Starbucks (probably the worst offender) said they wouldn't abide by law if it were enacted. Starbucks has to have the worst coffee in the world. I always wondered why they were so popular and then I realized that everyone who drinks coffee there has a drink with mostly chocalate and whip cream. I wonder why starbucks doesn't get put in with mcdonalds and all the other junk food places to avoid.
"Due to Morrissey's medical condition, tonight's engagement at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco will need to be rescheduled and will now take place on May 1. All tickets previously purchased for the Regency Ballroom show will be honored on the new date."

Probably just needs a nice big juicy rare steak.
what is five guys?Really?
The Five Guys Story
Five Guys has been a Washington, DC area favorite since 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell offered sage advice to the four young Murrell brothers: "Start a business or go to college."The business route won and the Murrell family opened a carry-out burger joint in Arlington, Virginia.
Under the guidance of Jerry and Janie, the Murrell family served only hand-formed burgers cooked to perfection on a grill along with fresh-cut fries cooked in pure peanut oil. The little burger joint quickly developed a cult-like following. Press paid attention. Customers voted the burger"#1" in the metro area.
During the 1980's and 1990's the Murrell family perfected their simple system. Five Guys was The Place to get a fresh, juicy burger with all the toppings you could stuff between fresh-baked buns. A fifth brother was born and, as their family grew, so did their business. Four more restaurants with sit-down seating were added to accommodate the growing clientele.
Early in 2003 Jerry and Janie, together with the five"guys" began offering franchise opportunities. In just under 18 months, Five Guys Enterprises sold options for over 300 units. The overwhelming success of franchising a local restaurant made national news with articles in trade publications such as Nation's Restaurant News, Restaurant Business Magazine, and the Franchise Times.
Now, over 20 years after Five Guys first opened, there are over 1,000 locations nationwide and over 1500 units in development. Five Guys continues to receive media attention and has grown a cult-like following around the world.
History
1986: The first Five Guys location opens in Arlington, VA.
1986 - 2001: Five Guys opens five locations around the DC metro-area and perfected their business of making burgers... and starts to build a cult-like following.
2002: Five Guys decides DC metro-area residents shouldn't be the only ones to experience their burgers and start to franchise in Virginia and Maryland.
2003: Five Guys sells out of franchise territory within 18 months and starts to open the rest of the country for franchise rights.
2003 - Present: Five Guys expands to over 1,000 locations in 47 states and 6 Canadian provinces.
Facts
There are over 250,000 possible ways to order a burger at Five Guys.
We use only fresh ground beef.
There are no freezers in Five Guys locations, just coolers. Nothing is ever frozen.
We use only Peanut oil.
Our menu is trans-fat free.
oh please . . . "i dont eat burgers, so i dont know what the most local well known burger place is. nope, never heard of it, never driven by one, never seen a sign for one." hey atomicfront . . . i dont eat pussy, but i know what and where the bunny ranch is and where the hookers are at in the district. bitch please.
yeah . . . i dont know why i responded to your comment, maybe just to have something to talk to you about seeing how i havent talked to you in awhile. i still find it hard to believe that you never had heard of them. thats like saying, "what is a dennys?"

Looking at their restaurant locator map i should have noticed them as they appear to be everywhere. When I was in Madrid recently I stepped into a McDonalds as I had to urinate and the place was packed. All these American tourists chowing down on their fast food crap. I was like you travel all the way to spain and you eat at McDonalds? WTF.

Actually if you listen I said I don't HATE anyone. Additionally, in my prior post in this thread I gave example of people on both extremes who are nut jobs. Perhaps if you tried reading what was actually posted rather then reading through eyes that appear to be closed with your own hatred, bias, ignorance, and self described bigotry, you might see what others are saying!

oh. the typical RB response, "it's not me with the problem, it's you!".
the way you speak about things out of your control suggests your a very angry person. hateful... probably not, but you seem to have it out for the dems, in particular.
and i don't quite care for any sort of media outlet story, and what you link is nonsense 100% of the time. fox news and yahoo are not news outlets, they are entertainment providers.
and to suggest that you're opinion is balanced because you threw in the fact that you're aware Michael Savage is far right is absolutely ridiculous.

Yes it is in response to me quite often, yet none of the responses do a thing other than say (paraphrasing) "there is no such thing as a left wing liberal", "no one on the left is ever out of line", "everything bammy does is absolutely perfect", etc.

Seeing as you are admittedly totally uninformed on the issue
Besides if I were 'pro-nazi' I would be all in favor of a gun ban since that is EXACTLY how they were able to do what they did.

speaking of uninformed:Besides if I were 'pro-nazi' I would be all in favor of a gun ban since that is EXACTLY how they were able to do what they did.
nazis did NOT take away guns. in fact they encourages and expanded gun ownership.
"Unfortunately for those who would like to link Hitler and the National Socialists with gun control, the entire premise for such an effort is false. German firearms legislation under Hitler, far from banning private ownership, actually facilitated the keeping and bearing of arms by German citizens by eliminating or ameliorating restrictive laws which had been enacted by the government preceding his: a left-center government which had contained a number of Jews"
http://www.natvan.com/national-vanguard/assorted/gunhitler.html
Unfortunately for LaPierre et al., the notion that Hitler confiscated everyone?s guns is mostly bogus. And the ancillary claim that Jews could have stopped the Holocaust with more guns doesn?t make any sense at all if you think about it for more than a minute.

The prevailing PC thought process is that just because a crime is committed upon a person of a protected class, it is by definition a 'hate crime'. So if a person were to mug someone that is a member of one of many protected classes, they get more charges because it is automatically a hate crime.
Okay Martin Luther King. We get your point.But poor black people aren't.The French and Polish armies had quite a few guns. A lot of good it did them.

This is absolutely false.
Committing a crime on a member of a protected class is not automatically a hate crime.
Committing a crime on someone because they are a member (or perceived member) of a protected class is a hate crime.
Don't confuse the two.

The law still fails.
1) There should be NO groups treated differently by being deemed protected.
2) You are still ASSuming you know the reason the person committing a crime did so (except in the case that the individual expressly states that this is the reason). Even in this case, any crime against ANYONE based on what 'group' of society they are a member of should be treated equally. No group should get special or different treatment.

1) There should be NO groups treated differently by being deemed protected.
2) You are still ASSuming you know the reason the person committing a crime did so (except in the case that the individual expressly states that this is the reason). Even in this case, any crime against ANYONE based on what 'group' of society they are a member of should be treated equally. No group should get special or different treatment.

I'm not assuming anything - I'm pointing out that you did not accurately describe the current state of the law.
Nor was I arguing whether or not the law was correct in principle either - just simply stating fact.
The 'you' was not a literal you. Rephrase that to 'the law is still assuming'. I would have thought you were intelligent to see that without explanation.
is that a random thought, you silly billy?
The 'you' was not a literal you. Rephrase that to 'the law is still assuming'. I would have thought you were intelligent to see that without explanation.
I'm well aware that almost everything you write on here is figurative language and not literal, but don't blame your blatant misuse of the pronoun "you" instead of a more appropriate pronoun like 'one' or 'they' or even a noun like 'the law,' as you have suggested, on MY lack of comprehension of the English Language.
And again, there is no judgment on the current state of the law in my answer and thus no premise put forth. I was just letting you know that you are misrepresenting the current state of the law. You may think it impossible, and that's fine, but that does not mean that the law does not exist, nor that because you don't believe it to be possible, that it doesn't apply to you.

Top Ten Awesomely Absurd and Absurdly Awesome Clutch Lyrics
http://blogs.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2013/03/the_top_ten_awesomely_absurd_a.php
Do people on here only like Clutch because they are from DC? I would think this would be a band that most people on here would normally hate.

I would think this would be a band that most people on here would normally hate.
I should give them a chance, someday.
Clutch makes the kind of music my wife would never, ever allowed to be played in her house. Fortunately, they make the kind of music I myself would never listen to in my house (or car).
However, I can say that I caught them for about one song at the 9:30 anniversary show, and found them quite captivating in a live setting. Don't know if I'd want to endure them for 90 minutes though.

sounds like she also controls him at shows... he was only allowed to catch one song!
Why is that funny? It's called respecting you partners wishes and sensibilities. maybe if you learned how to do it, you'd still be on your first marriage. ;)
When I'm the one who picks 90% of the music that is played and 95% of the Netflix choices (because I'm the one who does the research for both), I think she deserves veto rights, don't you?Clutch makes the kind of music my wife would never, ever allowed to be played in her house.

Anyway I let my wife play whatever she wants. So she should let me play whatever music I want. I mean if I have to listen to Richard Thompson and the Dawes I should be able to listen to Sweet, T-Rex, and Erasure if I want.

No I am 6'2" you fool and built like a linebacker. My second wife is six inches taller than my first wife. Second wife is still shorter than me.
I'm 5'11" and my wife is about an inch taller than me....but i'm married to a supermodel.

I don't know about that, but tall girls are hot. As long as they aren't 6'6" or something.
All I care about is that I am 8 inches taller than my wife so I am always able to show her who's boss.
I'm 5'9 and a quarter inch. My wife claims she is taller than me. I respect her right to claim that she is.
Janet Reno is tall.You can pick out the newlyweds on here a mile away.I'm 5'11" and my wife is about an inch taller than me....but i'm married to a supermodel.

From a constituion standpoint this seems like a slam dunk to allow gay marriage. If they don't say as much all the constitionalists on the supreme court can just show what a bunch of hypocrits they are and instead say they just follow whatever republican policy is at that moment.

Sounds like a pretty good argument for banning 30-round clips and assault rifles. And also, right now schools are having to cut vital programs, jampack students into already overcrowded classrooms and lay off teachers. How are they supposed to pay for armed guards? Because stupid conservatives will menstruate over any suggestion of raising taxes. Another example of the loser fantasy land you and your retarded ilk live in.

Founder of Gold Leaf Studios Opens His Latest Project: Union Arts
There was an ephemeral black cloud cast upon the city?s music scene last year when DIY music and arts space Gold Leaf Studios closed its doors to make way for new development. Tonight, the venue?s founder Mike Abrams bounces back with his latest project-a two-floor multipurpose arts complex dubbed Union Arts & Manufacturing.
Looking to recreate the magic that Gold Leaf cherished for well over a decade, Union Arts will continue its legacy as a refuge for artists looking for the much needed space. It took Abrams about a year until he settled upon the location (located at 411 New York Avenue NE)-which also turned out to be the easiest part of the project.
?All told, it?s taking about $30,000 to do this project, but most of that is back rent that I have to make up for the owners?, says Abrams ?So far, I?m out $15,000 out-of-pocket and still need to work for the other $15,000. I?m hoping to do some crowd sourcing and find supporters who have an interest in keeping the arts alive, as well as finding more work/another job to keep the building owners satisfied. This project was self-funded and built out?.
Union Arts currently has eight studios and two open multi-purpose rooms, with an 80% occupancy rate that includes musicians, sound designers, filmmakers, photographers and other creative types. The space previously housed the venue Warehouse Loft, and is located just a few blocks from the NoMa-Gallaudet University Metro stop.
Abrams plans to host a series of workshops and classes all-year round, with the goal of having at least two events per month in Union Art?s space. Similar to what Abrams devised at Gold Leaf, there will be a number of DIY concerts that will be presented in his new space featuring local artists and out-of-towners looking to play a smaller venue.
Tonight, Union Arts will host its opening celebration with a jazz/funk jam session lead by local musician Luke Stewart, along with a number of exhibitions that will be displayed throughout the venue. The event starts at 6p, and will end immediately before Cherry Blast (which is happening next door) kicks-off its annual soiree.
It seems like another DIY show in Baltimore had the cops show up. On the comments for the Faun and a Pan Flute, Hello Ocho, and Fell Band show, this was the last one:QuoteY'all slept on this one!

The hosting service I run may be the biggest POS ever, but it keeps me from having to have the gummint pay me to sit on my ass and do nothing (like the lazy people do). In fact, I would make MORE money by collecting a gummint check and doing nothing, but I'd rather pull my own weight and pay my own way (unlike the lazy people). Thanks for playing!

even this pro-gun website correctly defines an assault weapon as a semi-auto: http://www.assaultweapon.info/
"In discussions about gun laws and gun politics in the United States, an assault weapon is most commonly defined as a semi-automatic firearm possessing certain cosmetic, ergonomic, or construction features similar to those of military firearms."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_weapon
I am speaking of the LEGAL definition of an assault weapon. Oh wait, just cause it is on the internet it has to be true, I forgot!
where is this "legal" definition you speak of? in your head?
i quoted the justice dept of CT (first state that came up in my search, plenty others available)... sounds pretty legal to me. ZING.
I want to fly on one of these! (http://www.virgin.com/richard-branson/blog/virgin-atlantic-launches-worlds-first-ever-glass-bottomed-plane)
Usually, I always want a window seat but this would make me enjoy an aisle seat. Must be tough on the crew though since they'd have to do a lot of extra cleaning between flights or it would defeat the purpose. Wonder what the scratch resistance of these floors are like? Hope it's much better than my damn "scratch resistant" glasses!

Yeah, my stomach turned. I watch a lot of sports and I've seen a lot of bad breaks, especially a soccer tackle or two. That one is near the top.

Basically collecting anything for the perceived future value is BS. You will be dead one day. Odds are if you buy it for future value it won't be worth shit in the future. Stuff is worth a lot because everyone threw it away when they became adults and now they are 55 and feel old and want something to feel young again. Which is more pathetic than anything.

And another article under the topic of 'Why is this even newsworthy in this day and age'...
http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9137573/brendon-ayanbadejo-says-four-players-considering-coming-gay
since apparently you need to have it explained to you: it's a story because there is either one or zero openly gay players in the NFL, i believe. little boys look up to professional sport players. maybe when they see some of their idols as proudly gay, or supportive of their gay teammates, then they'll be safer and/or more tolerant. the is a strong anti-gay culture in professional sports and this story is helping to break down that culture (oh, wait, conservatives hate change). that same culture is leading to kids being beaten by other kids because of who they are.
taking a step back, the following doesn't necessarily apply to RB:
it's laughable how the right wing has moved from vocal opposition to all things gay, to trying to dismiss gay issues entirely. it's a regular comment in any story about gay rights: "why is this even in the news, it's a personal matter, don't shove your sexuality in my face", etc. it's understandable, tho: for a while the right wingnuts and religious bigots though they had control or at least influence in society so they got on their soapboxes to shout down all things gay. now, the times have passed them by. they are no longer relevant. and since no one is listening to them, the best they can hope for is to get others to ignore what they would rather have go away - like gay rights.
and it's funny how NOW they don't want someone else's sexuality shoved in their face, considering the right's track record of messing with others' sexuality (sex ed, abortion, anti-gay-marriage, abstinence-only programs, etc)
Nuff said, no explanation needed...

yup, and if he couldn't have access to guns, he wouldn't have killed that many people.
solution: make guns harder to get, and limit what kind of guns people can own.
Two words... WHO CARES? Being gay is a non-issue. We are all equal right? No player in the NFL has ever come out a straight either. Just as much a non-issue.
hi . . . i am your new money, and i look gay.
sometimes the whole gay rights things and how gay people are treated just boils me over into one big "spike lee of the gay world." i get so upset and start screaming.

That's funny Hutch, I actually listened it to Bollocks last night from start to finish and was like "Goddamn this is a great record." Lydon is a majorly hypocritical, thin-skinned, bad-mannered asshole from his hair to his toes but he did make one of the best rock and roll records.
His autobiography is seriously great...
and I guess I saw him at the 930 and loved it even though I'm not much of a PiL or PIL fan..
I talked to Glen Matlock Sunday and asked him about a new Sex Pistols tour and he said "well..its up to Johnny but I could give a ... honestly to play the same songs..."
Of course Glen is going to say that...
From Glen's show it almost seemed like Lydon's description was pretty on the money.. he comes off as a bit of a tool..down to recommending his favorite non-alcoholic beer (becks something or other for those that care)

I won't give Zach Braff one dime (http://kenlevine.blogspot.com/2013/05/i-wont-give-zach-braff-one-dime.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter)
Zach Braff is trying to raise money on Kickstarter to fund a movie he wants to make. Zach Braff is a good actor and a fine filmmaker. GARDEN STATE was a terrific movie. But I wouldn?t give him a dime.
Why?
Because it defeats the whole purpose of Kickstarter.
The idea ? and it?s a great one ? is that Kickstarter allows filmmakers who otherwise would have NO access to Hollywood and NO access to serious investors to scrounge up enough money to make their movies. Zach Braff has contacts. Zach Braff has a name. Zach Braff has a track record. Zach Braff has residuals. He can get in a room with money people. He is represented by a major taent agency. But the poor schmoe in Mobile, Alabama or Walla Walla, Washington has none of those advantages.
continued...
obviously . . . he doesnt have the talent to make another film. this has been going on for decades in the world of film. and i dont remember anybody needing kickstarter before. real simple: if you are good you can continue, if you are not, then you beg for money online.

Oh and the Catholic church is still 100 trillion kinds of fucked. And American Evangelical Christians are still funding politicians in Uganda that are calling for gay people to be executed for being gay. And there was that Neo-Nazi American (not sure if he had any religious ties?) who shot up that temple in Wisconsin. And that other Neo-Nazi dude in Norway who shot up all those kids a few years back. And that right wing Christian who killed George Tiller. And the Buddhist extremists in Burma who are slaughtering entire villages of people as I type this. And then there are all of the atrocities that the Israeli military regularly commits with the use of our tax dollars. And then there are the drone bombings that we have been conducting over countries we are supposedly not at war with. And the bombings that we have conducted over the countries that we have been at war with. You get the idea.
So yeah. Long story short, it is not just Muslims.
you know, maybe im stupid and this will sound dumb, but it makes sense to me.
why cant islam/muslim religion do the same thing? why cant they clean up their problems. dont they know how it effects the rest of the image of their religion. dont they know that people hate muslims because of the actions of a few. dont they know that they risk people or whole countries banning their religion. dont they know of the backlash. dont they remember when a religious group was singled out for a countrys problems. is that what they want. to be witch hunted. to be hated as a group. is fixing a problem that fucking hard.

Woolwich and the Muslim Response (http://www.assedbaig.com/2013/05/woolwich-and-muslim-response.html)
Muslim leaders have been scared into silence. Prevent officers visiting mosques and community leaders frighten them. They are told that if Muslims display any political opinions outside the mainstream then they are extremists, that if they do not inform on them, that their bank accounts can be frozen, mosques closed and they could face prison. Muslims are afraid. Muslim organisations and leaders are subservient to the state, scared to mention foreign policy as a radicalising factor just in case they are harangued for justifying the murder. It has got to such a state that we do not even realise that our minds have been conditioned through years of media misrepresentation and widespread Islamophobia. Questioning the reason for a murder does not mean condoning or justifying it. Condemning something that has nothing to do with you feeds into the narrative that this is a Muslim problem, that this is something that the Muslim community are responsible for, at least in part.

We're driving home from the baseball game today, and my five year old asks, "Is December 1 going to be on Saturday again this year?"
Which provided the opportunity to explain that if it were on Saturday last year it would be on Sunday this year, unless it was a leap year.
But how the hell did she know it was on a Saturday? Because indeed it was. I asked her and she said "Because I remember December 2 was on a Sunday, so December 1 must have been a Saturday."

im slowing down my shows toward fourty. when you see so many shows since high school . . . the appeal loses its head, and you are left with the same ole flat warm beer out of a damn plastic cup. i hold my pee, because i fucking hate the bathrooms there, the merch is out of fucking control in price, people are rude and shitty at shows unless you are seeing some boring mainstream act where people do actually feel lucky to be there, sound and sightlines suck unless you pay to be up front, and good luck getting those tickets. getting there, getting home, spending all that money. i enjoy my couch streaming shows now with all the bathroom breaks i want and kitchen stops and beer stops and everything else that comes from pausing live stream.

OMG that's such a non-story.
the blogger writes that "the tabloid's showbiz editor couldn't cope with the idea that the bookies' favourite for the award was an anonymous producer with no backstory to trawl, no photos to splash, and no celeb mates to gossip over. He asked for help unmasking the real Burial, and got exactly what he deserved, a tide of misinformation". and what, pray tell, is the blogger doing? pretty much the same, IMO. maybe less out of frustration, but he's still writing a story where there is none. let the man be, he doesn't want the limelight.

Yeah, all of those things are so much worse than lying to the American public about invading another country and then completely fucking up the aftermath to the tune of tens of thousands of deaths, the Patriot Act, pulling out of the Kyoto Protocol, implementing a practice of torturing suspects, creating the conditions for the 2008 economic collapse, appointing radically conservative Supreme Court judges, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc etc etc.
The once-mighty industrial-rock juggernaut Ministry (or at least its sole original member, Al Jourgensen) has been threatening for years to stop making music: In interviews for the last few albums, Jourgensen has sworn each would be the last. And yet he's soldiered on through near-death experiences (massive bleeding ulcers and dysentery!) to continue making music. But From Beer To Eternity, due out September 6, is the last, he again swears. Considering Jourgensen's primary collaborator, Mike Scaccia, died after collapsing on stage late last year, this time might really be it. But on to the important news: The cover for From Beer To Eternity (no, we didn't make that title up) features Jourgensen's head on somebody else's ripped body, and he's got a bunch of naked women in a big net. Apparently Smell The Glove was taken?
JUNE 21, 2013 Due to excruciating pressure and critique from The Onion's A/V Club, Ministry has hired Al Jourgensen's 12-year-old nephew to re-design the cover art and also changed the title of the upcoming Ministry release. Production in Germany on the previous title and artwork was called to a halt at 7:00 am GST on June 19, 2013.I am not sure if the new cover is a joke or not...
A/V club members sited the title and artwork for Ministry's "From Beer to Eternity" as stupid and misogynistic, comparing both to Spinal Tap's "Smell The Glove" pooh-poohing the new release and slagging Jourgensen for his "bag of chicks." The industrial metal godfather has been forced to reconsider his evil tongue-in-cheek ways and has reeled it back in. Here is the new Cover Art

Another band I liked 25 years ago and now hope I never, ever hear them again.
Yes, but dont you think the one designed by the 12 year old is a little better?
Went to dinner at a friends house Saturday night. Mind you these friends are flaming liberals. My six year old girl didn't want to play with their five year old boy because "all he wants to do is play with toy guns."
I want to tell my friend he should have his flaming liberal membership card revoked for buying his five year old multiple toy guns. But I can't really do that, can I?
or you could let kids be kids
no matter what you do . . . if they are going to grow and be a monster, that is their destiny.

Why? I played with toy guns as a kid and I'm guessing you did too. I'd venture to guess neither of us own real guns today. I know I certainly don't.
But what skills are being developed, other than acting like an asshole skills?
ooh this better be good.

Dear Smithsonian Mall Tourist,
If someone is dumb enough to be out running at noon on a 95 degree day, they're not the one who is going to stop when you're trying to flag them down in hopes that they can be your personal GPS system. Their run is more important than you are to them. If they are dumb enough to be out running at that time, chances are they aren't smart enough to know how to get you where you are going. Try one of your fellow walkers, who are only as dumb as you for coming to DC to look at monuments in July.
Sincerely Yours,
The Runner

Dear Whoever is in Charge Over there at Rehoboth,
Could you please:
1. Institute a fine to be leveed against any badly tatooed, meth user looking people who decide it's their right to spit on the boardwalk? Or, so as not to be discriminatory, just fine anybody who spits on the boardwalk.
2. Institute a fine against any 250 pound MILK (Mom I'd Like to Kill) who decides to use one of those foot shower thingies to wash every grain of sand off her of four kid's beach toys when there are other people standing in line right behind her in 95 degree weather who actually want to wash the sand off their feet and legs. (Maybe she doesn't have running water at her house? Maybe she shouldn't have had all those kids.)
...that way, you will collect enough fine money so that you don't give "permit only" parking tickets to people who park on a block with NO signs far, far away from the beach..
Sincerely,
Husband of the woman who proclaimed your beach "too low class for us".
I always thought the breakdown was as follows (based on my experiences in the late 90s)This is pretty accurate...but Rehoboth is now sort of a combination of 1, 3 and 4..
Rehoboth -- High-income gays who will not miss brunch
Dewey -- Miller Lite fratbros in their early 30s and the women who blow them
Bethany -- Parents who have completely given up on happiness in life
Ocean City -- Maryland white trash juggalos with tribal tattoos

yup, loving it. it's a little glitchy, for some reason i still see the "introductions" thread (maybe because he's the thread starter? maybe i have a setting wrong?) but otherwise it's been a week of no a'front. so much more pleasant.

You can dislike something and think it's disgusting and tacky without censoring it. I think Rolling Stone should not be glorifying that guy and I think it's a major lack of judgement but I wouldn't for a second advocate censoring or punishing them.
Okay now give me two more examples and I will admit that I am wrong.
Has anyone done general admission standing for a show at the Hamilton? Sight angles, sound OK? How far from the stage is this "GA bar area"? Can you see from a bar stool, if there are any?
Unless you like being in the back at a show and are as tall as atomicfront, the GA bar area is probably the worst ticket in the house at the Hamilton.
The food is marginally better at the Hamilton than at the Birchmere. But there aren't any food purchase requirements for sitting at the tables at either of those venues.

saying the food is marginally better than the Birchmere is not exactly an endorsement. we had a pizza, which was ok. my finicky daughter ate it.Unless you like being in the back at a show and are as tall as atomicfront, the GA bar area is probably the worst ticket in the house at the Hamilton.

The food menu in the upstairs area looked pretty good online...i haven't eaten there.gotta go
The food menu downstairs in the performance area is more limited. Especially for vegetarians. Like I said, we had pizza, which was ok, but didn't measure up to some of the other pizza places around town.

I don't get why people are upset about this Zimmerman thing at all. After finally getting a chance to read about the case there is no way any unbiased jury would convict him. Other kid has been suspended from school three times was currently suspended. School found jewelry and screw driver in his bag. Was walking suspiciously around the neighborhood. Zimmerman called the police and was in contact with police when incident went down. Zimmerman was beaten and had called for help 9 times during the incident.
I think people are racist who wan't Zimmerman arrested. His Hispanic hertitage I guess they put in with all the illegal aliens that they hate so much.

I'd eat elsewhere... when a restaurant serves sushi and pizza on the same menu, something ain't right.

I get so sick of liberals being nuanced and polite and always trying to appreciate both sides of an argument while right-wing motherfuckers like Tom Delay and Dick Cheney lay scorched earth tactics on everyone's asses and lie and manipulate and distort facts/truth without any remorse or shame.
There need to be more ruthless leftwing assholes like myself who will not let dickcheese retards like ratbastard spread their shitty filth everywhere they see life.

more soon, in the fantasy football thread.

All I'm saying is my wife and I had some of Sweetcell's latest IPA creation on a SAturday, and then both had Bell's Two Hearted on draft on a Sunday, and we both agreed that Sweetcell's was superior. And it wasn't even close, in my book.

This is one reason i would NEVER play the Call of Duty games. All of these tweets are towards David Vonderhaar, one of the guys at Treyarch, who it seems changed something with the sniper rifles in one of the games, and now he is receiving death threats and threats of rape for his wife and daughter. seriously, its just a game. Games are supposed to be fun but these people are a little too serious about it.
Speaking of beer, did you know that you can now drink beer inside the main room at the 6th and I? I discovered this last night. The beautifuler part is that if I can drink, that means I can chew. Which necessitated me running around the neighborhood for 10 minutes trying to find a store that sells Kodiak. Which I did.

I don't know why people are so shocked by Jack White's current behavior. He was exactly over the moon when Entertainment Weekly uncovered via public records his marriage to his "sister". And that he pled guilty for the beating he gave the guy from the Von Bondies over production credits. Guessthat anger management training he had to take didn't stickwith him...
I guess everyone sneaks out early on Friday afternoon.

Egypt is such a fiasco... and such a dangerous and very sad development...never quite understood why the same military that kept Mubarak in power for decades was somehow a credible guarantor of democracy and interpreter of the people's will.... they make Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood look like Mahatma Gandhi..
The naivete of the Obama administration, and the establishment media, presenting Morsi's overthrow as some democratic act still astounds me... I think, honestly, there may have been factors at play such as Israel not wanting an Islamist neighbor, that may help explain it...
Anyway stop providing aide to them no matter who is the leader.
egypt has been good for two things and two things only . . . cats and pyramids. now they are good for a third thing: being fucking retards who think a created religion is more important than natural humans. we have fuckheads like that in our country too, but we lock them up in hospitals and drug companies get rich off of them.

But she doesn't want a sex change, as in a surgical transition, does she? I thought it was hormone therapy.
The Constitution's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment requires prison officials to provide adequate health care for inmates, and the argument is that this transition is necessary for her well-being. So why should/would Manning be denied?

oh no way!
aren't you almost 50? that's old dude. embrace your oldness. you only think it's a personal attack because you live in your own world and think you're still young and hip.
but you've demonstrated that you can't be told anything, so i don't know why i even waste energy. i'll just block you soon enough when you say something stupid like you did about DC9 or trayvon martin or the sexist thread you started, etc..

Insulting someone because of their.age is the same as insulting someone because.they are black, PR because they are gay.

i called you old because you are old.
if i referred to someone as gay, because they are gay, i don't think that's insulting.
if i called someone black, because they are black, i also don't think that's insulting.

I have no problem with my age. And I am not close to being old. I have no problem doing anything that a younger person can. I play basketball with my team at work 3 times a week and everyone playing is half my age. I am proud of my age. You are using it as an insult. Which is sad.
You meant as an insult. There was no reason to use it in argument. There are federal laws against harassing people over 40 about their age. It would be like I said :
"i don't have personal attacks, i call it how it is black man."
First off Bradley Manning is not a she. Second, just because he wants something doesn't mean it is good for his well-being. Third, even if it is for his well-being there is no need to be required to provide it for him. I am sure it would be good for some other prisoners well-being to have visits from super-models. Should we provide them with super models?

this is exactly why you are insufferable. you say you have no problem with your age, and then you go on to warrant how superior of a human-being you are! it's insulting to the rest of us. you can say you can do anything a younger person can do, but the truth is, those kids run circles around you on the court, they don't wake up with a sore back, and then they go out drinking and partying while you're in bed by 9pm.
but you can be whoever you want to be on the internet, so keep being the 48 year old super athlete who has the best musical tastes, the best looks, the best taste in beer, the best education, and the definitive voice of reason.
I am confused...

Bradley Manning self-identifies as a woman, therefore 'she' is appropriate. Who are you to decide who this person is? No one. Also you are setting up a false equivalency here with therapy vs supermodels but that's to be expected as you are a stupid person who makes up shit on the internet but I don't care anymore because I'm done reading your crap. Bye!

Bullshit. I can 'self identify' as a 7' 2" star basketball player all I want. Still does not make me one nor does it mean that Bammy should give me the money I need to make myself feel more like one.
First of all, Ratbastard has demonstrated repeatedly that he's all for denying rights to people who aren't white conservative straight people who think exactly like he does, so he can fuck off and die his own miserable death for all I care. I'm so glad he's such a loser because jesus christ what a dumb fucking piece of fat-ass flesh he is. Dude eat a fucking dick because you suck.

The fact is, Manning has a condition that is causing great pain to herself. You all, and I include myself in this, may not identify with this struggle but it's no different from being crippled with depression and needing medication to come out from this struggle. Manning was born with a condition that is causing her tremendous grief -- can anyone here identify with being born in a way that just feels inherently wrong and un-aligned? Probably not.
So just because some people think its amusing to titter and giggle at the "girly man" who can't lift weights or be all macho doesn't mean that this is something negligible. The fact is, this is not a huge cost and people need to look very deeply into their own intentions as to why they would say, no deny her these medical benefits. Deny her? Okay, let's also deny cripples and the mentally ill. What's the difference? Some piece of shit that's smoked cigarettes for 30 years comes into prison -- are they going to treat his inevitable lung cancer? Of course they are. But you would withhold therapy for someone who is living in torment over the way they were born through no fault of their own? How compassionate.
People can make all the cynical, smug comments they want about this and feel like macho superior assholes but I genuinely believe Manning has the right to self-identify the way that she was born and she is suffering from a medical condition that has a resolution. Manning knows what's going inside her body and no one else does, and regardless of what she did, she has the right to medical treatment.

Actually as a moderator you should ban relaxer for.his post to ratbastard
So can I ban you as well James for a even more vicious attack that occurred? How about II just delete the post for now...
What's the point if re-quoting it now, I read in a hurry this morning and now agree it crossed the line. I really don't have the time or energy to deal with every scabble on the forum. Yes Relaxer needs to tone it down, but that can apply to many posters here. I still think the herpes comment was funny
how about you all stop being a bunch of dickbags and you can post whatever the hell you want, eh?
Ratbastard's contant spewing of hate for other people warrants Relaxer's post; if only one time it was nice to see.
Anyway in 3 hours I will be gone for 2 weeks. What will James Ford do? I think he missed me a lot when I was gone for a few days.
it's kinda lame you can change your handle at any given time...

I'm glad they shut those bigots down. Good for them. Baking a cake for a gay couple is NOT the same as believing in gay marriage. Would they have refused someone cause they were of a different race? NO. Would the have refused to make a cake for a Muslim couple? One can't refuse business to people of different beliefs. This is no longer the age of separate water fountains.
As usual the liberal left wants everyone else to be tolerant of them but they are not tolerant of anyone who has even a slightly different view than theirs.
we missed you, jules.

Beautifully done.
one.Samantha on S&TC made a similar point saying in a generation no one will identify as gay or straight, they'll just be in love with individuals.
the only thing I find myself needing to add is that I think this division of people into gay and straight is silly.. i think we all or at least an overwhelming majority have the capacity to love anybody if we only allow ourselves...Gore Vidal has written a lot about that and I happen to agree with him... putting people into box 1 or box 2 is beyond simplistic and silly...sexuality and love is far more complex...
No one else is watching Luther? This series is at the level of The Wire and Breaking Bad. Brilliant writing, acting and production. Seriously damaged lead character played by Idris Elba investigating serious screwed up criminals.I've never even heard of this show. What network is it on?

It's a BBC production that BBCAmerica is currently showing the latest four episode series of it. Might be able to catch on the repeats, as they showed all four episodes in a row this time around. Like many BBC series, Luther is in third go around of 6 and 4 show sets.
yada . . . that it is whats wrong with this country. that is what is wrong with these people that inhabit this earth. this girl was just having some fun, shaking her butt. she can shake her butt. there is nothing wrong with her butt shaking. and then an accident happens. and then it gets out of control. and then someone could get hurt, for real. and then its on youtube, and people are going epic fail and lol. the extraterrestrial people are tired of youtubes epic fails. they are tired of loling.
Not sure about Ray Donovan, show is movingat a snail's pace.I'm actively hatewatching this show at this point. I have no idea why I keep DVRing it and watching it at this point, its so terrible. The Southie/Boston accents are all over the place too.

Broadchurch is good, but it too is kinda slow. It's paced a bit like the killing.
Totally enjoying the bridge...The Bridge is also based on a Danish show. I also think I read somewhere that when it was being ported over to America, it was intended to be Detroit and Windsor, ON.
So let's see The Killing is based on a Danish show, which the BBC chooses to do a version of. And then Fox picks up Broadchuch.

1) Apples and Oranges.
B) Because an armed guard was there the number of victims was substantially lower than what it could have been.
III) If it makes you feel safer to put up a 'no guns' sign then by all means put them up all around your house. When a bad guy breaks in I am sure he will go back to his car and leave his gun there before he comes in to rob you.
d) Nothing nutty about that, just facts.

It is not trolling to post your true beliefs on a political subject on this board no matter how illogical and misguided your beliefs may be. If he were posting this on anti-gun message board that would be trolling.
Hmmm let's see this guy was given a gun in spite of him having two previous firearm related violations and a less than honorable discharge form being a squid for "a series of misconduct issues".... In addition to all that, he was not authorized to have a firearm on him at this facility. Wonder what slack ass slept on their job and let this numb nuts in the yard let alone what moron government employee authorized him having a firearm in the first place? Maybe we need Bammy to create another government agency called the "lets check on all the other agencies to be sure they are doing their jobs right but really don't do anything other than suck money out of the economy because we don't want to offend the lazy government employees think that 'what dat be' is an actual English sentence and who wouldn't know an honest days work if they saw it agency"... Ya know if we pass just ONE MORE law and spend more of someone else's money then we will all be safe! LOL liberals. I swear you were only put on Earth to humor those with any sense of hard work and personal responsibility.
people say guns aren't the problem but i say we would be better off if ill people didn't have guns..

Overdosing by accident = not a suicide

No.

Oh well, maybe next year!
I'm not sure what the 'tea party' wants but I am all in favor of putting a one year limit on welfare and food stamps. Just like there is a one year limit on unemployment benefits. Hell if either should have a longer limit it would be unemployment. While none of these programs was ever intended to be a way of life at least the people on unemployment worked their asses off for some period of time to get the benefits of that program. The others, well in many cases they just learned form mommy and daddy that if they sit on their buts and didn't even try to better themselves they can get free handouts forever.

Yeah I am sure being homeless but having food is just great. People should get Food Stamps no matter how long they are unemployed. It would be the last program of any that I would ever cut. You sure are bitter to your fellow man.
I'm not sure what the 'tea party' wants but I am all in favor of putting a one year limit on welfare and food stamps. Just like there is a one year limit on unemployment benefits. Hell if either should have a longer limit it would be unemployment.

Homeless <> food stamps. Your whole point fails for invalid premise. Try again.

If all you get from the government is food stamps and you don't have a job odds are you are homeless. But why would you want anyone to go hungry? I don't get it. Do you not care about anyone but yourself? This seems sociopathic behavior.
You should visit Germany they have a ton of social programs, public health care, and their economy is better than ours and they don't have much crime.

You are still making an invalid premise and no one said that anyone should go hungry. Try again, you really cannot be this ignorant .
It's futile to discuss reforming Food Stamps without talking about the other part of the Farm Bill - farm subsidies. They are inextricably linked.
There will be no real reform in America until they are separated legislatively. And if you think Government is at a standstill now, watch the separation of Food Stamps and Farm Subsidies play out and see what grinding to a halt really means.

Farmers want food stamps. It allows poor people to buy their goods. It is a Farm Subsidy. I don't know why you think it needs to be removed or why you think Food Stamp reform is needed.
Does no one work for the federal government on here?
Not everyone who works for the government is supposed to be broadcasting it to the far reaches of the internet.

Those commenting about the Health Care Exchanges having website issues, have clearly not tried to buy Beastie Boy tickets for a 930 show.The bitching about Incubus -- several years after their peak popularity -- was also particularly bad, iirc.

Is anybody a little bit outraged that Capitol police shot and killed an unarmed woman with her little kid in her car?

I don't know the circumstances but I AM..
I sent a tweet to that effect about an hour or two
Having said that.. I dont' know what exactly happened..

i had a nice fire in my back yard. the night sky full of stars and life outside of my own open for me to view, study, think on with smiles and blinking eyes to all of it. so many planes in the high sky, so many lights not making sense, west ward bound. helicopter training path going by, close to ground with spotlights. awesome. a damn possum came right up to me and just sat there. sat there staring. he knew that it was a moment of animal human connection, me not caring, just sharing living brainwaves. i can hear nothing out here. your cities mean nothing to me.

Not at all. Don't drive your car into barriers and attempt to run over police officers. Seems simple enough.
Police wouldn't behave that badly in other more civilized countries. Like Germany.

How do you feel it should've been handled? Also, when is the last time a German citizen tried to ram their car into a barricade of the President's home?

You're right man.. they had to shoot to kill...also from the way they describe what happened, which is really credible cause they are pigs i mean cops, it was the only option... she was bumping against stuff...
just be sure if you're walking and a cop yells out to you that you turn around..otherwise they might have justifiable reason to kill you.

Very similar situation to ramming your car into a barricade at the white house. Too bad she didn't have a bomb in her car and blow up a whole city block. That would've been great!

oh good so you're saying the cops did the girl a favor? i guess if people aren't mentally stable they should be shot..
I can't speak to her mental stability... I know that sometimes people have issues in life and they get help and then they are fine..
Of course if they are shot dead , well, there's no helping them there....

No where in my post did I state they did the child a favor, however, if your crazy mom is willing to drive at high speeds, attempt to run over people, run into barricades with you in the car, my guess is you'd be in better hands elsewhere. Seems sensible to me. But hey, I guess according to you tough times/issues allows for you to do risky things with a child in your car.

Shoot to kill because she "might" have a bomb in her car. That's American justice for you.
And shooting a person dead is a foolproof means of stopping a (let's pretend for a minute there was a) bomb from going off, right?
How about shooting out her tires instead?

I think if it makes you feel uncomfortable you've probably had some attraction to men and have a tough time dealing with it cause you think its wrong or something...

Farmers want food stamps. It allows poor people to buy their goods. It is a Farm Subsidy. I don't know why you think it needs to be removed or why you think Food Stamp reform is needed.

The set times are out of order for tonight. I wonder if a change was made.
I won't date a woman who doesn't use Oxford commas. It takes all of my strength to date women who don't use diaereses.
Ahh. A grammar nerd and a prescriptivist. Killer combination, Jerry. Comedy gold.I self-identify as a "pedantic superstar."
Surprised that a woman would date you.Me too, actually!

I'm tempted to go back through your thread and see if you hold either of these to be true personally.I use the Oxford commas religiously and would welcome a thorough review of my missives.

Unfortunately, the ALT+number characters required to do a diaeresis displays all wonky on virtually all messageboards, but in my handwritten correspondence I use them. I've rigged my Microsoft Word directory and blackberry to autocorrect automatically to the proper characters.
Can we get a picture of a hand written note with proof?Well, I don't usually ask for letters I've written to people back. Although, now that you've put the idea in my head, my assistant really should be photocopying all of my personal correspondence for my files.
"It is not enough to say, 'We must drop bass.' It is not enough to say, 'We must rock the crazy beats,'" President Clinton said Monday in a secret live appearance at D.C.'s famed underground The 930 Club. "If American techno is to become the world's leader once again, we must drop much bass; we must rock mad, phat-ass, crazy beats; and we must do so quick-fast in a hurry, 24-7, 365. And I am out."
She also said that they have the kids washing the tables (isn't that the job of the custodian/lunch lady?), so when my wife took my daughter to stand away from the table while that was being done, she was further reprimanded by the lunch lady , "You're supposed to remain seated at the table at all times."

looking at some old ticket stubs i was really not surprised to see how much concert prices have gone up..
december 2002 thievery corporation was $20...it seemed like many of my stubs from the first half of the 00s where in the $25 range.. prices really seemed to have taken off in the late 00s....
I'm not sure if that has to do with the new DC gilded age some are living or industry trends in general or the new DC market with multiple venues bidding for a limited number of artists.. ..probably a combination of all those factors

- inflation: everything is more expensive now
- artists rely on touring revenue more than ever to make a living. back in the early '00's they were still selling a few albums...
- are you comparing apples to apples? Thievery is "bigger" today than they were in 2002, so they can command a higher price. so looking at today's $45 ticket and saying "i used to pay $20" might not make sense, they're no longer the same band.

officially at least inflation has been really low the past decade.. i think there has been concern about deflaltion..that is how low it has been..
of course some things have gone way up but some things have gone way down.. everything is not more expensive now.. a laptop that used to cost $1000 in 2002 would cost you $350 now..
there is no doubt that concert tickets would be expected to go up.. i just think they have far outstripped just about anything else but maybe i'm wrong
i remember the stooges at the 930 in 2007 at $40 seemed to me at that time really pricey.. now it would seem cheap
moreover, you also, assuming you buy tickets online, have to factor in that ticket charges have at least doubled..... i bought a hives ticket recently for $35 and with ticket charges it was $45
and thievery is exactly the same boring band.. same sitar player, same reggae boyz etc... and in late 2002 they were coming off their two most acclaimed albums.. everything since then has been a bit of a downer.. but i get your point that their fanbase expanded at least until say last year... now its contracting..

You just seeing bands that older people like now. Bands that older people like cost more money as their fans have more money. Kate Nash and Le Sera play tonight. Both amazingly awesome. Tickets 20 bucks. I mean if anything ticket prices have gone down. You are seeing acts past their prime and nostalgia shows cost more money. It doesn't make sense but people like to re-live their youth and will pay a lot for that experience.
You can buy tickets at 930 club or MPP and you won't pay service charges.
I would guess the average concert ticket price the past 13 years has gone up about 100%...much like the prices on my stubs
here is one of I'm guessing hundreds of articles on it .. with some, you know, data to back it up.

I still don't know what you are talking about.. Almost all tickets for 930 clubs shows are less than 30 dollars. If you are consistently paying more than that you are seeing nostalgia acts. It is you not the club. I am sure there are ridiculously priced tickets like the Stones but who would pay that much other than a person who doesn't like music and goes to one show a year? There are plenty of shows where you can bring your own beer and are less than 10 bucks. I can't remember paying more than 25 bucks to see a show at the ottobar. Most are less than 15. If you are complaining about 15 bucks a show than maybe you shouldn't be going to see shows.
and it wasn't a complaint as much as an observation or random thought if you will..
not sure why you get your panties in a bunch over it, atomic?
I bet overall lawn prices at MPP are lower (factoring in inflation) than they were 30 years ago.

Why would you pre-order an album that isn't going to be released until February of next year? Wait until it is released and buy at your local shop or buy from somewhere that ships for free.

RE 150 year anniversary of Gettysburg Address: Such a long tradition of using the word "freedom" where it doesn't belong....I mean it sounds great but its just a load of baloney fed to little schoolchildren isn't it? How else other than "freedom" could we explain the hundreds of thousands of our dead?... the southern states wanted their freedom (of course we disagree with their position on slavery but, again, another inconvenient myth: that the Civil War was about freeing the slaves) and Lincoln said no and went into a brutal war to force them to stay in the union against their will.. I mean tell it to the South that the Civil War was about "government of the people, by the people, for the people..."! The idea that the States could not leave the Union once they joined it, to me, seems absolutely nonsensical..and then Lincoln couches that as "freedom"? I can imagine telling the representatives to the Constitutional Convention, northern or southern, that once their states ratified the constitution they would not be able to ever leave no matter what!.. they would have laughed all the way back home! Hats off though to Old Abe for being so determined and keeping the Union together at such a high cost... we can celebrate but to think it was about freedom or slaves is just a bit much...

Say "Hi!" to Jerry for me, hippy. This country is as great as it is because of it's "east coast work ethic." If America worked like they do on the west coast, we'd be France. Even God hates that sort of laziness. We don't have landslides or wildfires or bands like Green Day and No Doubt or earthquakes on the east coast, now do we?
Brian
And this country is pretty messed up. Certainly you can see that. The income inequality, the poverty, the long work schedules.

I agree with Chaz, Steve Wizzle, etc.
I think the increase in cost of living in the DC area - combined with a rather unpleasant cultural mindset- no longer makes it smart to live here...not unless you are one of the ones making bank with some job likely having to do with the national security state or military industrial complex or government corruption or lobbying/greasing....in other words something rather unsavory....some job that requires you to spend most of your time here because its where the "business" is done...or unless you have a job in this area and can't get one elsewhere
I mean who wouldn't rather live in the San Francisco bay area? I remember 10-15 years ago thinking "well, I'd like to live there but its just so expensive..." same for NYC... well now, unbelievably, DC is as expensive as those areas...
A house was just built in my hood with barely any garden and sold for over a million bucks... virtual hovels are selling in the 700s...
This is not to mention the houses being sold in DC in relatively unsafe neighborhoods with poor schools for astronomical sums....
Junior one bedrooms in DC are renting for $2000 a month...I mean its just insane... and you can get an apartment on Miami Beach on Collins Avenue for less than in NW DC... you may not like Miami Beach but at least you got the beach..
I think things have gotten wacky in DC and wonder if its not due for some "adjustment" but I can't really see it....

Portland (OR or ME), Seattle, Austin, Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, Baltimore, Chicago, Denver, dozens of smaller liberal college towns...there must be something out there that's more suitable for you.interesting
I agree with Chaz, Steve Wizzle, etc.
I think the increase in cost of living in the DC area - combined with a rather unpleasant cultural mindset- no longer makes it smart to live here...not unless you are one of the ones making bank with some job likely having to do with the national security state or military industrial complex or government corruption or lobbying/greasing....in other words something rather unsavory....some job that requires you to spend most of your time here because its where the "business" is done...or unless you have a job in this area and can't get one elsewhere
I mean who wouldn't rather live in the San Francisco bay area? I remember 10-15 years ago thinking "well, I'd like to live there but its just so expensive..." same for NYC... well now, unbelievably, DC is as expensive as those areas...
A house was just built in my hood with barely any garden and sold for over a million bucks... virtual hovels are selling in the 700s...
This is not to mention the houses being sold in DC in relatively unsafe neighborhoods with poor schools for astronomical sums....
Junior one bedrooms in DC are renting for $2000 a month...I mean its just insane... and you can get an apartment on Miami Beach on Collins Avenue for less than in NW DC... you may not like Miami Beach but at least you got the beach..
I think things have gotten wacky in DC and wonder if its not due for some "adjustment" but I can't really see it....

well, there are good reasons for staying... do you want me to tell you them? they are kind of - like- personal... but if you really want to know i could tell you!
;D
There is part of me that wants to move back to the Detroit area, there is a certain energy there now which is hard to beat. Not many places have as low of real estate prices as there right now even in the nicer suburbs. My only selling point is Kosmette wouldn't likely have to work, but she rather likes her current job here. I'm sure competition is stiff for existing jobs there....
I'll be glad to listen if we ever meet up for a beer.
I probably have the same like of thinking as you. I've been here for 16 years and definitely wanted to leave for the first five. It's definitely not my dream Metro region, but I've learned to appreciate certain things about it. My wife and I both like our jobs, so that's the biggest thing.
So staying seems in the cards for us for now, the real battle would be where to go after here (if anywhere) when it is time to move on.
I'm pretty sure we are moving to the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area. Longer summers and shorter winters, but still 4 seasons. A decent metro area...not the cultural amenities of DC but not too shabby either. Good local music scene. Good economy for both mine an my wife's chosen careers. Great schools. And we can buy a 5 acre farm 20 minutes from the city for about $400k. And down there, if you live 20 miles from your job you get in the car and drive 30 min and park in a parking space. For free.

At a prior company they offered to move me to Columbus, Ohio and if I couldn't sell my house in 3 months they would buy it from me. Plus they would give me a raise. House prices are cheap in Columbus and there isn't much traffic and it seems like a decent city but in the end I decided not to move.

I'd say that's probably one of the better decisions you've made in your life. Why would one want to live in Ohio?
Good for you guys. Go for it.
I lived in Chapel Hill for a year in 1996-1997 and moved here. Loved that area and the people there, but hated my job. That's probably still one of the places I'd happily transfer my job to.
There are many more college girls in Columbus than Baltimore, that's one thing.

Nice.
I've moved clear across Shut-ins (2003-2009), to White Dreadlocks (2009-2013), and am now in Yelp (2013), with few hipsters (but they're coming), more yuppies than that map shows, a ton of Asians (medicine), only dogs pooping on the sidewalk, somewhere around the $2-2500k per bedroom, 10-24% of income on rent, Twitter through the roof on a strong LTE signal, no fog, 1.56-1.42 heat vulnerability though a seismic nightmare, 10-17% voted to ban same-sex marriage (though I lived in less than 10% at the time), no grafitti or violent crime and no parking problem (save for ball game nights), lots of walk-run-bike, probably because there's no Mario BART.

James Fordish behavior is a guy who pees while sitting on the john cause his wife told him to do so...

That is not true, although I am a gentleman and put the seat down when I'm done peeing. I can't believe how many men don't do that.
I actually did date someone who insisted her ex-husband pee while seated. She never insisted on me doing that. In fact, I even insisted to her that she wasn't allowed to have her Labrador retriever in bed with us while we were fornicating.Needless to say, she's no longer with her ex-husband, or me. I heard she had a kid, likely she is a single mom.James Fordish behavior is a guy who pees while sitting on the john cause his wife told him to do so...
what i find amazing is how many people don't wash their hands after holding their dicks in their hand while they pee... the place you always see this at is at concerts! now that is gross.

someone posted on this board, a while ago, a good rant about how guys should wash their hands *before* they pee, not after. you dick should be clean. your hands are dirty. so your dick isn't dirtying your hands (unless you don't know how to pee), your hands are dirtying your dick. and then we expect our partners to fornicate with a dirty dick?
anybody remember making that rant? i want to say it was Yada, but i'm likely wrong.

So you are saying not only do you get paid for posting on this message board but you get paid to work out and take showers? Or are you taking about how people force you into the shower because you smell?
Wait, you are saying your employer doesn't have a gym you can work out in? Why would you work there?

Why would you want to work out with people you work with? That's what gym reimbursement is for. I can deal with not having a gym. Not having outdoor showers sucks.

Doesn't anyone notice that you are at the gym when you are getting paid to work? A former boss at my current company said he checked a workers time coming into the garage, his time leaving the garage and his time going into the gym and then is time coming back into the building and fired him because he only was working 7 hours a day but claiming to work 8. We have a gym here but you have to pay for it and it is pretty pathetic.

Your life sounds pretty horrible. No wonder you drink so much. You should move closer to your job. I have walked to work before I am so close. I am out the door at 9:15 in the morning if I am not running late. Also, you should hire a nanny. The advice is free.
I don't understand why I would hire someone else to take care of my kid? Why would someone have a kid if they were paying someone else to take care of their kid? She does go to an afterschool program already. Why would I want to keep her away from a parent any longer than necessary?
Actually, my life is quite wonderful.

11 hour workday. Sounds awesome.
im going to back to gym, after a two year hiatus. im not sure what i want to accomplish by doing it, besides getting big and beating up people.
i used to, for about two years. became addicted . . . protein powders, magazines, creatine, chicken breasts, two hour minimum per work out, normally four to five times a week. i got pretty big, and older guys hit on me all the time. then i gave it up, got burned out, and now i want to go back. i miss all those older, married guys.
maybe it is just me . . . but i find it odd that lauryn hill was able to sell out the club for seventy five dollars.

Have you heard about this Macaulay Culkin Pizza Underground thing? It's a Velvet Underground cover band, except they change all the titles and lyrics to be about pizza.
I just watched a video of their first concert (well about 30 seconds of it). The concept in and of itself is completely stupid and totally lacking in humor. The execution is even worse. It's probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen. And I've seen lots of stupid.

1.) If the Ravens had even a mediocre offense they could make a run this year. They may not have Denver or New Orleans' weapons but Ray Rice is a multi-purpose back, their line is good, Flacco can fling it, the receivers have some speed and size....how the hell do you play Detroit and not score a single touchdown?

That's rheotorical, right? The Hot Sex Partners, obviously. Oh, and Katy Perry tours.
Two other random NFL thoughts:

They may not have Denver or New Orleans' weapons but Ray Rice is a multi-purpose back, their line is good, Flacco can fling it, the receivers have some speed and size....how the hell do you play Detroit and not score a single touchdown?
2.) If I was in Dez Bryant's shows and was actually noticably crying, I would have walked off too and taken the consequences. Dez has a rep already. Brett Favre sheds tears on the sideline and he's a "warrior" and "passionate" and "cares so deeply about winning and losing." Dez Bryant cries on the sideline and he's "f*g", "pussy", etc. He wouldn't live that down. You can cut down trees all your life......

Yeah something with no intrinsic value backed by no country or organization. I don't understand why anyone would think this is a viable currency.

Tell that to the guy who walked away with a Tesla S. (http://money.cnn.com/2013/12/06/autos/tesla-bitcoin/)
Technically, the dealer locked into a conversion price with BitPay, accepted the bitcoin and immediately converted to dollars.
Is it really Kraftwerk with just one original member?
Seems like its just Werk.

Why because neither one of us has kids? Or because both of our postings make you bi-curious?

No, you have multiple internet personas. Creepy and strange.
I mean, the best option would be all four (Bradley, Wiggs, and the Ohio sisters) with MacPherson on the camera and Albini on the boom, but who would you rather?
Kelly Deal or Kim Deal?
It's tough but I think I'd go with Kelly. Slightly dirtier.

Many of you know my pro-more-baby policies. But I just discovered something. There is a tax credit of 1000 dollars if you have a baby. But wait a second people in my income bracket can't get the tax credit. If you have a family income of over 130k you get zero dollars for having a baby. So basically if you are middle class you don't get money for making a baby but if you are lower class and probably won't pay for your kid to go to college here is 1000 bucks to gamble away while you leave your kid in the car in freezing temperatures.
How does this encourage Atomic to make babies? I am very disappointed in our lawmakers.
$130k is not middle class.Its barely above the poverty level for a family of four. How do those people live? How do you even finance a summer home in the Hamptons on that?!?
$130k is not middle class.

maybe society does not want Atomic having babies... ;D
i dont have children . . . and i want a voucher, for being fabulous.
I am a white straight middle class male non-drinker non-drug user married for 35 years two sons pay my bills on time. I want a voucher to help me pay for all the lazy people and those in society who continue to make poor choices that I am footing the bill for but I won't vote for you simply because you give me free shit.

What does drinking have to do with anything? Drinkers pay more taxes. I would more likely to give you a voucher for a wheel or two of 1802 cheese if you did drink.
Here, here! If I don't have children, why can't I get a voucher to use my contributions towards my construction costs for a walk-in humidor?? Urban haute bourgeoise uber alles!!

School cancelled tomorrow. We live in a world of wimps.
I'm leaving my cat outside tonight. Just to prove she's not a pussy.

I guess area teachers are the laziest teachers in the world. What year did the Chesapeake Bay freeze over. We were out there every day in the cold waiting for the bus every day back then with no complaints. The schools have heat. School shouldn't have been closed one day this year. We haven't had any bad weather.
On a related note. When we had those big snow storms a couple years back my job didn't close a single day. You were expected to be at work. I tried to drive in the middle of the second snow storm but all the gas stations were closed. It was fun driving in those conditions. Just drive exactly in the middle of the electical poles.
The teachers aren't the ones who decide to close school. You do know that, don't you?School cancelled tomorrow. We live in a world of wimps.

You are saying the school administrator is not a former teacher? And he doesn't get off as well?
I wonder what all the parents do who are counting on their kids being at school. Do they have to take the day off?

the more I think about it the better i feel about arlington opening late.. they have to make sure the buses can start otherwise older kids could be waiting outside for a long time... that gives them some extra time to make sure
it currently, according to the internet, feels like -8 F in Arlington...that is -22 celcius.... its hard for me to even comprehend that...

Is your wife a government "worker" is that why you put company in quotes? I figured you would be asleep by 11:30 as you get up so early.
Anyways, I went for a little walk. It felt nice breathing in that cold air.
When they open two hours late, it doesn't count as a lost school day, right?
If Fairfax loses one more school day, they'll have to make it up by going to school on Presidents Day. Which is a-ok with me, as my wife and I will have the house to ourselves and free babysitting for eight hours.the more I think about it the better i feel about arlington opening late.. they have to make sure the buses can start otherwise older kids could be waiting outside for a long time... that gives them some extra time to make sure

- Highlight the text (in this case, Warren Haynes-Derek Trucks)
- Right click on the highlighted text
- Select the menu option that reads "Search Google for 'Warren Haynes-Derek Trucks'"
Suddenly, a new browser tab opened up with the answer to my question! It took all of 3 seconds, and I had my answer before lunchtime :)

speaking of The SmithsI'm not smart enough to get the joke, I don't think. Is it supposed to be like this is some person's boring weekend retold in Coachella poster form or am I missing some other layer to this?

This was posted because of Will Smith family as The Smiths, and it was amusing where the only two bands listed are.
I was having a conversation with my wife last night about why do people feel that we need attractive people to sing in bands. I liked the music of Milli Vanilli. Who cares who was signing it. And then I came up with list of ugliest bands. And she was no one listens to bands like Rush or Kiss though. Only lame old dudes listen to bands like those. And she was right. Why do guys listen to such shitty music?
But the list of ugliest dudes bands: Rush, Paul Simon, Lou Reed, Motorhead, Kiss, Tom Petty, the edge, Joe Cocker, Meatloaf, Dee Snyder, the Ramones, Radiohead. Oh and Billy Joel and Rick Ocasek.
I absolutely hate Rush but to say that drummer is talentless is ridiculous.I was having a conversation with my wife last night about why do people feel that we need attractive people to sing in bands.

The drummer might be the worst part of Rush. Not only does he have no clue as to the point of a drummer in a band he writes some of the worst lryics of all time. This is why I don't get it when people say Ringo Starr is not a great drummer. Of course he is. Being a talented musician has no relation to how many drums you can hit and how fast you can hit them It has to do with making good music. Maureen Tucker is a great drummer. The Velvet Underground would have been awful if you had some guy trying to steal the show back on drums.
1) Greatness (or lack thereof) aside two of my favorite drummers are Buddy Rich and Terry Bozzio.
and this is the best Coachella Line-up...

Are you trolling with these?I'm shocked at the number of things this community labels trolling. Something clearly fake presented in such a manner where its obvious unreality speaks to its satirical elements =/= trolling.

Satirical??? I thought it was just a bunch of random words on a Coachella poster meant to annoy. Didn't we just ask someone to explain the previous one and they didn't come up with a valid explanation for its posting. Maybe we could have a separate thread for these.
I was recently accused by moderators of a beer message board for "trolling" because I (respectfully, without any condescending comments to other humans, imo) posted in a thread about Beer A that I wouldn't be buying Beer A this year because Beer B was just as good and less expensive. When I asked a moderator why I was accused of "trolling", I was told "This thread is about Beer A. If you want to compare it to Beer B, you need to start a new thread."We have a thread about show listings and if someone has the audacity to discuss the show listings, we fracture it off to another thread. And then if we want to discuss who is going to the show, we have to split off to a third thread. And then if we want to discuss how the show was, we go to a fourth thread. And then if we want to post a photo of the show, we have to go to a fifth thread. And if you don't do that, people act like the very fabric of the messageboard is getting ripped apart. And if we actually wish to have an interchange of information/discussion about this concert, we have to hope the 4% of the board who went to/is interested in the same concert as us, diligently checks all five of these threads to follow the progression. Its kafkaesque.
So anything that is annoying to you equals "trolling"?Are you trolling with these?I'm shocked at the number of things this community labels trolling. Something clearly fake presented in such a manner where its obvious unreality speaks to its satirical elements =/= trolling.

I blame this for there being no chicks on this message board. You would think this was a football message board.
Are you trying to say that the problems Julian described are the reason there are no women on the board or does the fractured nature of the board result in no women wanting to be a part of this board?
If you want to be on a message board where there are lots of women, go on a mommy chatboard. Plenty of women bitching and arguing with each other there.
Or go on a Justin Timberlame or John Mayer discussion board.

to me a troll is someone who posts stuff just to get a rise/reaction or get under people's skin...
their posts are often reactive so if you say the sky is blue they'll come in with "what do you mean , the sky is black...."...to me that's often trolling..
personally i like friendly/ridiculous trolling though whereas what i call personal trolling is detestable...... if i hear one more word about someone's awesome parenting choices and the "guide to why my life is the wiener schnitzel" i'll retch...
to me a troll is someone who posts stuff just to get a rise/reaction or get under people's skin...To me, trolling is pretending you believe a certain thing that's provocative/outrageous in hopes of soliciting angry responses from people who are under the misguided view that you actually believe said thing. Trolling doesn't "work" if people are not convinced that the troll ACTUALLY believes what they're saying, otherwise they won't get the requisite level of "upset" to get into an argument over it. I don't want to get into too META of a discussion but the thing that's weird about this community is many don't seem to see the difference between intended satirical material in the vein of TheOnion.com and "trolling."

For example, you might not like The Onion. You might not think its funny. You might think its satire is too hamfisted or its points too obvious. Those are legitimate complaints. But to say The Onion is "trolling," for example, is absurd. No one is "trolled" by The Onion. Nobody reads "Voters Shocked Christie Botched Such An Easy Political Cover-Up" and actually thinks that's true. But if you post that same thing here, there's 20% of this board who is going to argue tooth and nail, "THAT ISN'T TRUE! AND LET ME SHOW YOU EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE TO PROVE VOTERS AREN'T ACTUALLY UPSET ABOUT THAT!"

What are you going to do prevent people from having sex? Poor people are going to have a bunch of kids and not take care of them. That is how things work. The solution is to change the laws so everyone makes enough money to be able to take care of their kids.

No I meant raising minimum wage ...lowering day care costs, lowering health care costs, making college free for everyone that scores above a certain level on standardized tests. You still have to work.
The problem with lowering taxes and stupid things like these is people just pay more for used houses. Really doesn't help the economy at all.

The reason you have a masters in education is you have six years teaching experience. Everyone knows the reason people get masters in education is not to help be better teachers , they get it because they are paid more to teach. I have read an article that says the only master degree that help teachers become better at teaching is Masters in Mathematics.
I think they should do away with day care altogether and pay people parental leave (one parent anyway) for the first two or three years of the child's life.

Don't wish for that. These sorts of things are aimed at the lowest common denominator.
When my first wife and I got divorced we had to take a co-parenting class, as ordered by the judge. Not sure if this was by law or what, but we had to take it. It was the stupidest waste of time. Pretty much an entire weekend totally wasted. A transmission of completely obvious information.
Not to mention, it did nothing to improve the ex's co-parenting skills, or parenting skills for that matter. She is dead now, so no longer have to deal with that challenge.
Happily, my picker has since gone in for extensive service and is now a finely tuned high performance machine.

So in other words you want to get paid more for flipping burgers at McDonalds, but people who have actually worked to earn an education and better themselves need to get paid less for providing much more valuable services and they pay more taxes so you can get more 'free shit'! Wow where do I sign up to sit on my ass, take no personal responsibility to better myself, and make everyone else in society pay my way? The only thing wrong with your plan is that it does not include a free two week all expenses paid vacation to the destination of my choice each year so I can deal with the stress of watching those burgers fry all day!
(In case no one has clued you in yet there is no such thing as free.)
Lets get real here... we are not going to get 3 years of paid leave..it just isn't going to happen...we barely get two weeks vacation!
within what is possible the best hope for the most children is increased flexibility in where people can send their kids....
i mean everyone should have a right to a similar basic public education....but a supreme court decision in the 70s ruled that different districts can spend completely different amounts on their kids...so forget about that but if ever there was something that should be changed its this.. ain't gonna happen...the land of unequal opportunity.
because of the court rulling many kids will get screwed so i'm all for vouchers, charter schools, flexibility in where people can send children, home schooling, you name it.... this idea that parents need to send their kids to craptastic schools because they are in their neighborhood is ridiculous...
what people never realize as they pat themselves on the back about their fantastic parenting is that how well kids do is largely predetermined by their genes and their environment (yes, their parents money)...
i was part of a tutor mentor program in DC for a few years.... the kids don't stand a chance... when the kid lost his text book what do you think the parent said? I'm not paying for a textbook. what do you think the teacher did? nothing...six weeks went by.. is it any wonder the kid didn't give a shit about school? i wonder what lamar brennan is up to now.
I also think allowing to get tax credits or even tax credits for paying for private education would help. And letting people put their kids into any public school in the state. Why should kids be forced to go to an awful school just because their parents aren't living in a rich neighborhood.
But there are plenty of people who could choose to stay home with their children for three years with proper financial planning, and sacrificing some of life's luxuries for awhile. But they don't.

well not everyone is as smart/good a person as you james ford
you're just talking out of your ass really dude... you don't know what people on this board do...for all you know somebody is a stay at home dad or someone works and their wife takes care of the kids at home...
anyways, i love you but you're boring me.

Never said that wasn't the case. There are plenty of people who do make good decisions, and plenty more for whom it's just not a possibility.
Still, I think one or even two years of paid parental leave is certainly within reason. Maybe not at 100% of the salary...but the US could do much better in this area.

People in this country have been brainwashed pretty well. I always think you can learn from others. And there are other countries who's system works better than ours but it won't ever change here as people have been convinced that it is best the way it is.
I would never shop on Thanksgiving.

I'm shocked - shocked - that anyone would ever mistake you for a troll.
Someone told me I looked like a Hipster Santa Claus today. It might be time to shave the beard and go back to the gym.
well now that's just moronic. your solution would be to limit the board to one mega-thread, where everything - announcements, commentary, photos, football analysis, political trolling and "hey who's going to this show" - gets posted?No, I never suggested anything of that sort. I'm proposing instead of information about a band's concert being split up among 6 different threads, you start a topic about the show itself. All the info about tickets going on sale, who got tickets, hey does anyone want to meet up, what was the third song they played, and, oh, hey look at my picture of the band all is in one clearly labeled thread. People can easily discuss the event in one place and new users do not need to learn how to follow a discussion of a concert thru a chain of 5 or 6 threads. People who have no interest in the concert will not click on the thread. As a side-effect, people will post useless info for shows none of us plan to go far less because they don't want to clog up the board with topics that no one will post on. The info we get about concert listings will be more useful because its not surrounded by as much "junk" info. It facilitates more communication (and more orderly communication) among people interested in a certain concert.
that's called /b/. yeah, that would be an improvement.
I'm proposing instead of information about a band's concert being split up among 6 different threads, you start a topic about the show itself. All the info about tickets going on sale, who got tickets, hey does anyone want to meet up, what was the third song they played, and, oh, hey look at my picture of the band all is in one clearly labeled thread.
I just realized I thought Jessie Eisenberg and Adam Sandberg were the same person. I guess it is understandable as they both have the same hair and have "berg" in their name and neither one is funny.

What exactly is preventing you (or anyone else) from doing that?
I am pretty sure nobody wants 300 plus new threads a year, each one dedicated to a single show. If someone needs access to information on a band/performance/whatever, they can use the handy "search" feature.

Walky did you go to drag race? If so how about a report?
So according to him, since blacks break a certain law at a rate eight times that of non-blacks, the law needs to be repealed because of the "disproportionate impact" of the law. By his logic rape should be decriminalized since far more men are arrested for rape and their is a disproportionate impact against men. Did the people who live in DC actually vote this douche bag into office?I think the part you're maybe not getting is that there has been extensive studies on the issue and they all agree the percentages of Caucasians and African-Americans that smoke marijuana are virtually the same.
the only people who think that there is nothing wrong with smoking pot . . . are poeple who smoke pot. hack, hack . . . cough, cough . . . wheeze, wheeze . . . lung/throat/nasal cancer, lung/throat/nasal cancer.Great, when are we criminalizing regular cigarettes? And alcohol? And trans-fats? And non-vegetarian diets?
jesus . . . i wish. my favorite pasttime in the world, is telling people to their face, after they have had a cigarette, "man, you fucking stink!"Again, we will get along famously.
Wow to think I thought Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson were the two biggest racists on the planet. This guy wins hands down. The whole debate of legalizing pot to any degree is irrelevant to the racists reasoning he used to cast his vote... (Personally though I could not care less who smokes what.)

who wrote it?
i dont drink.

I quit a couple of years ago. It was hard, but worth it. I was sick of being addicted to something that really doesn't do anything but feed the addiction.
i dont drink.
When you wrote the book you did.
Yes, cigarettes.I quit a couple of years ago. It was hard, but worth it. I was sick of being addicted to something that really doesn't do anything but feed the addiction.
cigarettes, that is? good for you, either way.
I quit a couple of years ago. It was hard, but worth it. I was sick of being addicted to something that really doesn't do anything but feed the addiction.Smoked heavily from about 1985 to 2000. Stayed quit until 2009 when I was going through a divorce. Stopped again in 2011. Started again this past September when the ex died, that was some serious shit to deal with...high high drama for a few weeks. Anyway, just quit again for new years. Been pretty easy so far. Then again, I was not smoking very heavily this last go-round.
One of the best things about having parents who were smokers was watching the health problems that their cigarette smoking was causing them. That alone convinced me at a young age that I would never take a puff. And I never did.Didn't work that way for me. They smoked. We smoked. Pops didn't suffer for it until many years later. but boy oh boy how he is suffering now.
Most of my grandparents smoked. The only one that is still alive is the non-smoker. I never was able to have an adult conversation with either grandfather.
i love, the progression, of threads, around here
Are you trying to say that blacks smoke pot at the rate of eight times that of whites? God, you're a fucking retard.

According to the cited source, blacks in DC are arrested at a rate eight times that of non-blacks. A logical deduction is that blacks in DC break the underlying law at a similar rate. This could be a result of any number of factors, none of which are relevant to the point being made. It is not mutually exclusive that all segments of society break a given law in the same rate, and at the same time in pure numbers one of those segments have a very high proportion of violators. Again all irrelevant to the discussion. Please try to respond to the point being discussed from now on.
On the other hand, my dad has COPD, terrible circulatory issues and had two strokes...one in his 40s and one in his 50's. The last ten years have been hospitalization after hospitalization and now he's been in the nursing home for about 2 years. He started hospice care about 6 months ago. He's come down with pneumonia this week and obviously will not be hospitalized this time. It's a pretty sad situation ???

It's a logical deduction if you assume that the police forces and the justice system in general does not give preference to whites and people with $$. In actuality, the percentage of blacks and whites who smoke weed are nearly equal. But if you are black and you smoke, you are 4 times as likely to be arrested for it than your white counterparts.
These numbers are national. I don't know how it breaks down for DC.

Anyway I don't see how this has anything to do with the legality of something. If you feel the law is wrong change it. If you think one group is not being arrested for breaking law, change enforcement so you get everyone who is doing it.

There could be all sorts of reasons for this. Blacks could be smoking it on the street. White people could be smoking it a rural area in their house. Black people could be committing another crime in higher numbers and get caught with weed on them. Black people could be getting into arguments with the police more when being caught than white people. You can't just say because they get arrested more there is racism.

It would be great if they made pot legal and tobacco illegal. Also, if they made any beer that scores below an 80 on Beer Advocate illegal.

I am sure African Americans have a much higher murder rate than white people in DC. We could have long discussion why but I agree with Ratbastard that they shouldn't change laws just because one group is charged with it more than another group of people. I am sure income level between the two groups is way apart as well and highest education level achieved. It could be that people who have marijuana arrests could not be the primary reason they were arrested. I believe people shouldn't be arrested for drug use unless they are driving or taking care of children.
ratbastard, so regardless of the the this article and what tommy wells said (i.e., removing the political "rationale"), what's your opinion? should we legalize it?

well the issue of why marijuana should be legalized , to me, has nothing to do with race.
it should be legalized because there's nothing really that bad about it....
First off the article was talking about blacks not african americans. No where did it mention africa.

first off, do you consider it clever to make this "distinction"?
second, if you're going to use "first off" you need to follow it up with another point.
I think Ratbastard should not be able to talk about politics for a month. And then if he has 100 posts during the month he can post about politics the next month.
All he ever does is post his insane political views. Let's see what else he can contribute.

1) I do not doubt for a second that money buys one different treatment.

Really you think it is insane to believe we ought not make or change laws based on race? Of course this was not a politic discussion anyway, I intentionally left the political affiliation out of it since it was irrelevant... It was and is a discussion of law and how the guy in the article is a blatant racist.

I actually sort of agree with you on this one but all you do is talk politics on here. Most of your ideas are insane. I just think it would be better for you and us if you just tried to go a month without talking about politics. Because you always upset about it and you aren't going to change anyones mind. Seemss pointless. I would have a debate with you on things but you don't care what anyone else opinion on these subjects is.
ratbastard, do you object to being called Caucasian?
It would however be far more of a quality discussion if more or the replies to my views had some basis in reality rather than some far fetched never never land naivete.Your entire argument hung on the premise that eight times as many blacks smoke marijuana as whites and several of us referenced studies that make clear that's not the case and you refuse them out of hand and then accuse others of living in some far fetched never never land naivete?
ratbastard, do you object to being called Caucasian?
I have no concern what-so-even what others call me. It has zero impact on me. Although by the technical definition of eh term I am not a member of that group. On a side issue, I would find it rather silly to refer to me as European-American.

What's most funny is NO ONE I've seen in this thread even disagrees with you on your main point (that inequity in prosecutions isn't a good reason to get rid of a law). Several of us have said "yep, that's right." People are, at worst, correcting one detail of your argument. And you're still bent out of shape over it. Totally unnecessary, man.
Rather funny your definition of 'bent'. I am merely replying to some remarks being made with valid points. In some of those cases I agreed with the point the other person was making (such as money making a difference).I'm just saying, I perceive you as being very angry in this discussion, which is curious since -- unlike many discussion on here -- we all are in general agreement on the main principles and merely disagree of a few supporting facts and figures. I think other people perceive it that way as well. I know you're a cool dude in real life, we've met, but I think your tone comes across as unintentionally antagonistic on the Internet, man.

Yes I agree "African American" is a stupid term for people who never lived in Africa. I am sure it will change again. I don't understand the desire to change the name of your ethnic group. Anyway a lot of people from Africa who have moved here are not considered "African Americans". It might be the worst name for an ethnic group ever created.

You know what is a beautiful thing? Children and race. My kids go to a really diverse school, it's about 20 percent white, probably 40 percent hispanic, and the rest a mish-mash of islamic, asian, indian, black. Seriously, it's a freaking melting pot. These kids give not a single shit about race. Since no single group is particularly predominant, the kids don't group together by race at all. Last year my daughter had kids in her class with origins in 14 different countries!
When my kids are describing a new friend or classmate I've never heard about they never use the terms in the paragraph above as descriptors. It is by far my favorite thing about the school and the community we live in. I'm envious of this experience they are having as little kids.
It gives me hope for the future, man.
Edit: It also makes me sad knowing that eventually the adults in a lot of these kids lives will fuck this all up for them.

Edit: It also makes me sad knowing that eventually the adults in a lot of these kids lives will fuck this all up for them.
Where do you live? If I have kids I plan to send them to the Park School in Baltimore. I don't know if it is diverse or not. Though they talk about diversity the photos of children on their website does not seem diverse at all. Hmm..
Park School
Ethnicity
White 80%
Two or more races 9%
Black 8%
Asian 3%
Hispanic 1% 10%
It's pretty easy to find out online the demographic breakdown of any school.It sounds like your kids go to the same school as mine.
Last year she was the only white girl in her kindergarten class, this year she is one of three. And at this point, it doesn't seem to be an issue.You know what is a beautiful thing? Children and race. My kids go to a really diverse school, it's about 20 percent white, probably 40 percent hispanic, and the rest a mish-mash of islamic, asian, indian, black. Seriously, it's a freaking melting pot. These kids give not a single shit about race. Since no single group is particularly predominant, the kids don't group together by race at all. Last year my daughter had kids in her class with origins in 14 different countries!

What? No islamics?
Fair enough. It was easier to say that than Islamic countries in the Middle East and Africa."Islamic" is a race?yawn
Well he is right. My sister is Islamic and she is as white as she can be with her pale skin and blonde hair.
This conversation is reminding me of the scene in Mad Men where Pete Campbell waxes that he'll have to convince his mother that her new nurse, Manolo Colon, is the European type of Spanish or she'll never go for it.
hispanic is not an ethnicity eitherThe stats they publish on demographics are pulled from data provided by the students/families themselves. So however the people identify, that's how they will be represented.
I am a white hispanic. there are entire nations full of white hispanics... are spanish people hispanics? according to the US definition yes.. but they are also white... have you ever seen some of the hispanics from spain that are white, blonde and blue eyed?
then you have black hispanics... dominican republic, venezuela, cuba, etc.

to say hispanic is an ethnicity is just stupid.
I mean what are we really saying here? Are we saying "hispanics" have native american indian blood in them?
think about it... if that is what we're saying then why is the ethnicity "hispanic" and not "native american indian"?

ratbastard, do you object to being called Caucasian?
I have no concern what-so-even what others call me. It has zero impact on me.
Although by the technical definition of eh term I am not a member of that group.
On a side issue, I would find it rather silly to refer to me as European-American.
ratbastard, do you object to being called Caucasian?

agreed. so why do you take issue with the term "african-american"? it doesn't affect you, you aren't part of that group. it's a term that african-americans are comfortable with and self-identify with, so why would you care?
or is there another, deeper issue here?Although by the technical definition of eh term I am not a member of that group.
Definition of CAUCASIAN (from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/caucasian)
1: of or relating to the Caucasus or its inhabitants
2: of, constituting, or characteristic of a race of humankind native to Europe, North Africa, and southwest Asia and classified according to physical features ?used especially in referring to persons of European descent having usually light skin pigmentation
oh look, it has two definitions (AKA a subtlety). referring to "whites" as Caucasians is accepted use.On a side issue, I would find it rather silly to refer to me as European-American.
you know what's silly? calling European-Americans "white." you (and i) are not white. we are peach, or pink'ish, or whatever... but compare your skin to a piece of paper and you'd have to be blind to think that you are white.
this is my new cause. i shall not rest until the term "whites" is never, ever used again to describe Caucasians. JUSTICE SHALL BE MINE!!! I HAVE TRUTH ON MY SIDE!!!
I was speaking of the Latin language. The word Hispanicus has existed for some time (long before America, for example), and was used by the Romans to describe folks from the Iberian Peninsula.
You might try taking a breath every now and then.
I care because it doesn't make sense. I have a friend who is from Africa who and moved to the United States. He is an African American but he is not black. What if you have a black person who was born in the US who moves to Sudan. Is he an African-American-African? They picked a name several times before. I don't like the constant changing of terms. And if they are going to use terms use ones that actually make some sort of sense.

1) I was taking issue with the fact that we were not discussing africans of any sort, we were talking blacks v. non-blacks.
2) The primary definition is paramount. Note that I said the "technical definition". There is a difference between that and 'accepted use'.
3) I'll be sure to refer to you as an off-white guy form now on! :P
Don't even get me started on the racist institutions in our society such as the Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP (kind surprised they have not changed their name to the NAAAA), BET, Miss Black America, et al.

wow. so much to pick on here, but i'll limit myself to: BET? really? so african-americans can't have anything that is focused on themselves as a group?
fine. i'm willing to advocate in favor of banning BET, as long as you advocate for the dismantling of FOX and the republican party (since we're apparently defining "racism" as "being focused on, or for the benefit of, only one racial or ethnic group" ;D).

to take issue with the use of the term African to designate "blacks" (again, they aren't black) is assinine. what percentage of "blacks" can point to the african continent as their origin? 100%. prior to the 1500's, there were no African in the New World. it's all good and fine to say they're "just americans" now, but the fact is that they - and many others - do form a visible minority. groups have the right to self-identify and it's the height of disrespect to second-guess they're preferred term.
the primary definition is not paramount. a pen can be a writing tool or an enclosed area where animals are kept. both definitions are correct, neither is paramount. because one word comes from another it doesn't make the second word subordinate. origin of a word doesn't ascribe it's "value" or rank.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT COLOR I AM! DON'T YOU EVER - EVER - CALL ME ANY COLOR! DON'T PAINT ME IN A CORNER!!! :P

So the trip to Paris is off. My wife doesn't want to leave the country and I need to save up time for the baby. I am trying to think of going somewhere in the US that is warm for a shorter time. I wonder how much money it costs to change mileage award tickets.

I called it when we had that conversation..
57? I thought he was in his late 40s?
I wonder if all those horrible things he said happened to people who had babies will happen to him now..
Actually, what I wonder is if he's actually having a baby....sometimes, as much as I enjoy it, I think his character is scripted..

the kicker is that you say you can't ever meet anyone from the board and came up with some weird excuse!
so as much as I like you Atomic I'm not sure you're real!
guess my faith is weak...makes sense as I also have a tough time believing in Jesus!
wait did I just compare Atomic to Jesus?
good lord. I need help.
is listening to a book, instead of reading it, really that much better. i dont think i like that idea and dictates laziness.

the only way i would like it is if the author read it...
for example if Keith Richards had read his autobiography... but Keith is a very lazy man so he read one chapter and Johnny Depp read the others I think

im finally reading this epic thing called infinite jest. tough yet compelling and written in a way that makes your brain hurt beautiful. people with mental problems are not, all bad.
too many men wear jeans, and wear them all the time. i have never found them professional looking at all. i prefer men who wear a nice pair of slacks or chinos everyday. so much more distinguished and show a desire to be taken seriously.

Slacks is such a strange word.
I don't like men who wear chinos. But slacks are ok. Chinos make me sad.
What is the difference between chinos and slacks?Fantastic question, Rhett. It's mostly the material and the dressy-ness. Slacks are commonly made of wool and cut like "suit pants." Chinos are more commonly made of cotton. If it has pleats, its probably slacks. If its flat-front, that's generally chinos. There's no hard and fast lines of delineation, but generally if it's dressier, you call them slacks, and if its more casual, its chinos.

I use the sneakers and a t-shirt test. If you would look out of place with societal norms wearing the pants with sneakers and a t-shirt, its slacks. If you would see public university students wearing the pants with sneakers and a t-shirt, they're chinos (although probably called "khakis" for some reason.)
Do people still wear pleated pants? I thought those went out of style a long time ago.There was, just over a week ago, an expose about San Francisco 49ers coach, Jim Harbaugh, wearing pleated pants from Walmart. He promptly lost the NFC Title Game and had his fellow Michigan alumni revoke his "Michigan Man" card, as a result.

What I am trying to say, if two people both WANT to live their lives a certain way, who are we to judge?
If one person submits to another, either because its in the bible, or for whatever other reason, why would anyone else care if that is how they want to live?
I don't care. But I personally don't want that person making the laws that govern our nation, nor do I want him telling others that is how they should live.

You can write a book if you want to too. It could be called "Let the wife wear the pants".

Macklemore & Lewis' "Same Love," a song written in support of same-sex marriage, was performed on a set resembling a church. Macklemore's rap was followed by a mass wedding featuring 33 couples taking the stage of Los Angeles' Staples Center.
Queen Latifah officiated, and Madonna served as maid of honor, following Latifah's exhortions with "Open Your Heart." The crowd roared its approval as the couples made their way back up the aisle.

It's a hip dance track with a pedegree (Look! Nile Rodgers! He was in Chic and produced Madonna!) for people who have no idea how to shake their ass. It's like a Cocaine Socialism EDM.
It's no "Hey Ya" or "Crazy". It's not even "Sex and Candy."
As for the album, I can't give an opinion because I keep falling asleep in the middle of it.
And take off those stupid fucking helmets. What are you? Kiss? If I wanted to listen to a pretentious French duo that rarely puts out records, I'd put on the "Virgin Suicides" soundtrack.
Everone hates on Robin Thicke, but "Blurred Lines" was a MUCH better track. People actually hooked up and got laid to that one (whether they liked it or not.)
Also, I was hoping that there would be a massive hair dye accident and we wouldn't have to put up with any more of this Beatlemania nonsense. For most of you, how does it feel that you worship the same stupid shit that your parents did? Y'all want to blow John Lennon. I think he should be shot.
The only bright point is there never will be a Beatles 60th Anniversary. They'll be dead by then. Then this classic rock hegemony will be dead forever.

Those phrases would certainly describe my parents, and they certainly have a shit about how I felt.
There are ways to get those people to see your point of view and come around to your side of things, but Queen Latifah officiating a mass Hollywood wedding and Madonna preaching aint it, imho.This is why the conservatives hate us liberals. And I can't say that I blame them.
Macklemore & Lewis' "Same Love," a song written in support of same-sex marriage, was performed on a set resembling a church. Macklemore's rap was followed by a mass wedding featuring 33 couples taking the stage of Los Angeles' Staples Center.
Queen Latifah officiated, and Madonna served as maid of honor, following Latifah's exhortions with "Open Your Heart." The crowd roared its approval as the couples made their way back up the aisle.
So fuck 'em.
yeah, since when did jesus-loving, gun-toting conservatives ever give a shit about how you felt JF? fuck 'em.
I didn't watch it, but reading about it makes it reek of (douchebag) Hollywood liberals rubbing their issue into the face of conservative middle America moreso than a sincere wedding ceremony.I'm in favor of gay marriage but against awfully/tackily produced/contrived weddings (gay or straight).This is why the conservatives hate us liberals. And I can't say that I blame them.

I don't your comments at all. Why do you hate gay marriage?
Why do you care how someone else gets married. Who are you to say it is tacky?
I agree with Rhett that if one is an Evangelical of the persuasion that gay marriage is wrong, a Macklemore song + wedding spectacular is probably only going to entrench their worldview, not make them reconsider it.
That said, I'm not really sure that was the intended point of that whole thing.
I think Ellen Degeneres having an everyday talk show does more for the cause than the Grammy spectacle.

How does the Degeneres lady having a talk show have anything to do with someone chosing to get married? Is she marrying people on her show?
Just saying that she's someone middle America sees every day and probably can relate to. Middle America in turn find out that Ellen is a married lesbian, and "Hey, she's a normal chick who just happens to be gay and wants to be married, I can relate to that."
Queen Latifah officiating a big televised Hollywood produced ceremony with Madonna telling them that they need to "Open Your Heart"....they're probably not going to relate to that.I think Ellen Degeneres having an everyday talk show does more for the cause than the Grammy spectacle.

Response to Big, Gay, Grammy Wedding is Mixed (http://collegepark.patch.com/groups/arts-and-entertainment/p/response-to-queen-latifahs-big-gay-grammy-wedding-is-mixed-collegepark?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter)
However, Queen Latifah?s call to unity was not universally embraced, and opponents of the last night?s rainbow wedding took out their anger on Twitter.
Particularly vocal was Todd Starnes, host of 'Fox News & Commentary.' ?I've never seen such a display of intolerance, bigotry and hatred. #Grammys #antichristian? and, ?This was not about marriage. This was about bashing God and the church. #grammys,? he tweeted.
Similarly vexed, Scottie Nell Hughes, News Director of the Tea Party News Network (TPNN.com) tweeted ?Everyone has rights unless you are a right wing conservative #attackonchristianity.?
Like I said: fuck 'em.

You think perhaps people just want to have a big Hollywood produced extravaganza for their wedding because it makes them happy and they aren't doing things to cause other people to be annoyed? I know that might be beyond you. You are putting your opinions on others as always. I don't see how Ellen fits into all this. I find her boring and not funny. Her wife is funny though. Maybe she should be the one with the show.
Do gay peoples personalities have to match your own before you find them acceptable? Why does middle america need to relate to this anyway. When I planned my wedding I wasn't thinking "Will conservatives approve of my wedding?"
Middle America needs to relate because a vast majority of America is middle America. They are the ones who are doing the voting to keep gay marriage illegal in most states. Capture their hearts and minds and the walls will fall. Madonna singing Open Your Heart aint the right messenger.
If this wasn't about shoving it in middle America's face (and instead about people wanting a glamorous, Hollywood produced wedding as you propose), there would have been gay AND straight couples getting married.
Personally I think Macklemore's music sucks and his motives are suspect. But my 9 year old son LOVES his music and if my kid's music is talking about how everyone deserves respect and the same equal rights, then I am perfectly okay with that.
You will see it as soon as our country grows up and changes the law at a national level.
I do not see why states have the right to dictate marriage.
I am not an idiot. I have a degree, not that it is anyone's business. I don't think something that should be a HUMAN RIGHT needs to be dictated at the state level. If it was a national law then states couldn't outlaw it and everyone would be happy.

dont take the bait man... ford is a troll..he's going down in flames here so he tries to change the conversation (hey look gang lets talk about ellen! she's a nice lesbian!) or nitpicks about the law (again, trying to change the conversation)... James Ford's exact "reasoning" was used to defend separate but equal....
james ford, you are a bore and a boor. I can see you during WWII : "hey jews don't make a fuss..the nazis they don't like it!"
How many beers you had tonight Hutchy? I have no idea what you're talking about. But I think I have made my point quite clearly. I even posted a link to a writeup in Atlantic that also underscored what I was trying to say. If you choose not to agree with me, that's your right.I am not an idiot.

Still, to me, it was a combination of (likely unsuccessful) political statement and celebrities patting themselves on the back. The gay and straight couples were simple event props.

Actually, I could see James and his wife splitting their bottle of beer and a box of prunes in their rocking chairs watching the grammies. Then they see the marriage ceremony and are disgusted by gay america not getting married in shame in private.

i wish all of you, could be gay for one year. no, five years.
what?!
god damn hitlerwhat?!
My parents met in Munich after the war. My father was there as part of the occupying forces. hence no Hitler, no world war. My father has no reason to be in Munich and alas, no Atomic.
I'm glad I now know the one thing about Hitler!
Walky, have you ever considered moving to more gay-friendly environs? And ye, organized religions suck.

where, in the world, is that?
i wish all of you, could be gay for one year. no, five years. and make it when you went to high school and the end of middle school. then you would realize. not just talking about it, attempting to understand. you would realize. i wish you could see the looks my partner and i get when people realize we are gay, when we are in public. i wish you could go through life finding out what people say behind your backs, after they act all "open arm" "give me a hug" "so great to see you" to your face. i wish you could feel the emotion i go through when i read what people say in comment sections of articles when ever the article is anything about anything gay. i wish you grew up with almost every religion on the planet (meaning you jews, meaning you muslims, meaning you christians, meaning you hindus, meaning you native american indians) thinking gays are wrong and evil and what is horrible with world. thank god for taoist who believe in acceptance of everyone, but when was the last time you even met a tao? then nobody would care what gay people are doing. this topic would not even be talked about on a nine thirty club forum. people would be like, really, this is an issue, i remember the time when i was gay, for those five years, in high school and at the end of middle school.So you're saying its a choice?

I think poverty is disgusting, so I live near my country club. I self-segregate to be around people with similar worldviews. Does my proximity to a country club DICTATE my thought patterns? No. But I wouldn't go to the country club if they weren't paying me $10 and hour to carry their clubs..
Fixed that for you.Ho ho ho!

Reading some dumb Yahoo article about married couples sleeping in seperate bedrooms. Says over half of couples do this and then it quotes some couple that has been married a year and a half and how it helps their marriage to sleep in seperate beds.
What a bunch of freaking losers. Why even get married?
Ask yourself these four questions:
1. Are you awakened more than once each night by snoring, bathroom trips, accidental jabs or night talking?
2. Do you two go to sleep and wake up at different times?
3. Would you describe your overall sleep habits -- length of sleep, nap habits, comfort needs -- as different from your partner's?
4. During the night, do you yell something like, "Please for the love of...!" on a regular basis?Reading some dumb Yahoo article about married couples sleeping in seperate bedrooms.

So I just read that Paul Walker started dating his girlfriend when he was 33 and she was 16. How creepy is that?
What is wrong with that? Age of cosent is 16, correct?Depends on the state. Most states are 16 at this point but around a third still hang with 18. www.ageofconsent.com is a good reference. I keep suggesting to them they develop a phone app for easier use, perhaps with location services enabled, but not yet.

I don't know who Paul Walker is but if he did it in a state where it is legal why does James Ford care? He is always so worried about everyone else when his own marriage is obviously failing with the separate bedroom thing.META: Why do you care what Rhett cares about?
Mississippi has an age of consent of 16 for females but it drops to 12 if the girl had already lost her virginity. Seriously. Its never been tested in court AFAIK.

It irks me greatly when bands sell vinyl and don't include those little cards for you to get the mp3s for your electronic devices for free. I give bands a pass if they're on some local label or their label doesn't have an online digital store that already facilitates mp3 downloads for money, but otherwise this is really grating.

Don't mention that to Hutch, he might get upset and throw a Tube at youWhy isn't he a fan of that?
people want everything for free.Did you miss the part where I bought the recording?
then pay for the fucking download, latchkey kid.I JUST MAY.
How much is a fair cost for lossy mp3s of music I've already purchased? In my view they should be free; if not, make the cost nominal. Ridiculous for them to expect otherwise.
I ONLY listen to vinyl in my whip.You know if some company made that now (and I'm sure someone does aftermarket) and you got it and drove through the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, you're getting laid EVERY NIGHT.

Don't mention that to Hutch, he might get upset and throw a Tube at youWhy isn't he a fan of that?
Like I said, if the band isn't on a label that offers instant downloads of music for $$, I understand not putting that sort of thing in place. (There's a local RVA label that only releases stuff on vinyl, so I agree its a prohibitive cost for them to put a download option in place, for example.) But if you're on an established label that already offers that service, how do you really lose giving people the digital copy for free, other than a desire to sell two copies of a recording to someone?
Or step into 2014 and use Spotify, the best music service ever.
if you buy a record you should get the mp3s free...actually in FLAC or some such....end of story.

simple concept hutch . . . one thing does not equal the other. you pay money for everything you have to buy, unless you agree that when you buy a hamburger at mcdonalds now, that you should get another hamburger for free, to eat, later.
Hutch, you posted like 20 albums you bought used the other day. The band/songwriter gets ZERO of that... So what are your thoughts about buying used music? Necessary evil? I am just curious. Everyone loves to slam everyone else for what they do... You say "fuck spotify" (I agree by the way) but then buy tons of used vinyl...

Buying stuff used helps the artist. If Hutch doesn't buy the used copy someone else would now that someone else will have to buy it new.

exactly... I was going to say there are linkages between the used and new music market..they don't operate in isolation of each other
if i go on amazon.com and buy say the avett brothers used for 8.99 plus shipping then the next person will buy it new because there won't be any used copies that cost less

you guys are trying too hard here..
the fundamental issue is that spotify screws the artist over.. if you all sleep well at night that is fine.. i could care less... i got enough issues in my own life
you remind me of people that watch a debate and say... X lied 99 times.. Y lied 1 time.. yeah, they're both liars..they're the same
i'm no audiophile (far from it) but last night i was listening to the original making movies lp.... man it sounded so fuckin' sweet... if sound quality in music makes no difference to you then sure you can go to spotify or youtube or download some shitty mp3 and listen to that...whatever, you're missing out or let me rephrase it: i would be missing out.
its amusing that for decades people actually cared about sound and now, here amongst us we have a great example, we have the first generation to be like "screw sound I just want all the music all for free.. i don't care about sound.. i don't care who played anything..i don't need to know anything... mastering? what the fuck is that?"

its amusing that for decades people actually cared about sound and now, here amongst us we have a great example, we have the first generation to be like "screw sound I just want all the music all for free.. i don't care about sound.. i don't care who played anything..i don't need to know anything... mastering? what the fuck is that?"
It would be humorous if Hutch truly believed he had the artist's interests in mind when he was buying used products.
I've got no beef with buying used records, but I certainly don't delude myself into believing I am helping out the artist by depleting the supply of used product and thus forcing the marginal buyers into new stock.
I was thinking that in a year when I was done paying my Alimony I could buy myself a really expensive Audi. Then I calculated what day care costs and I realized I am not getting an Audi. :'(

1% of the people might. The rest will steal it. By stealing it they continue to encourage people to continue uploading music and give it away. The labels are kind of shooting themselves in the foot, imo.
if you buy a record you should get the mp3s free...actually in FLAC or some such....end of story.

I'm not following your train of thought. Are you saying that the labels are shooting themselves in the foot by encouraging 99% of people to steal the download, rather than giving it away free to 100% of the people?

I think they are encouraing people not to buy the vinyl and just steal the digital copy. I am guessing you don't buy the vinyl? If you do than do you turn around and buy mp3's as well?
if you buy a record you should get the mp3s free...actually in FLAC or some such....end of story.
no, you are wrong. if you buy a record you should get the record. end of story.
buying a license to a recording gives you the right to back it up (say, in digital format) for your personal use. however, the label/artist/etc are not obligated to provide that backup for you. you have zero legal (and even less moral) grounds to claim that you are owed a digital version.
sometimes a record comes with codes, but that's for the original purchaser only. problem is, the labels can't stop the purchaser from giving away the codes. solution: don't give codes.
sorry to burst your bubble but that's, like, law, and stuff. lets... go... back... to... over... using... ellipses...............

I have never had the courage to ask him I must admit whether what an ex 930 employee from the very early days told me.. he did seem a bit disgruntled and was imbibing liberally (also he was creepin on me) but he said that Seth made his money selling pot at the 930..and that is how he got his start..he was adamant about it... like I said you didn't hear it from me....also there were rumours he wa into field hockey players..You know that old Real World line, "things stopped being nice and started being real?"

It must suck being the 60+ guy in my office who eats a TV dinner for lunch each and every day of the week. That's TV dinners for lunch for 40 years.I get very baffled by this in the grocery store. The guys that fill an entire cart full of tv dinners and chunky brand soup. It makes me sad. I just imagine them at home alone, day after day, eating that crap in front of the tv.
Gosh, is it that hard to follow a recipe and make your own lunch? Or make a sandwich? Or get your wife to do it for you? Or go nearby outside where there are numerous food options?
I just don't get it.

I takes leftovers from our dinners for lunch. I cook four nights a week, she cooks three nights a week. So I'm getting her to do it for me, right?Or get your wife to do it for you?

That Stereogum article is disgusting.
"First, though, someone needs to kill the motherfucker."
Really? Hasn't enough blood been shed? I of course think Zimmerman is a piece of shit, but stating he needs to be killed? Is this a respectable media outlet? I have heard of their site but never clicked on it before. I dont think it is very professional to allow their writers to try to incite murder against other people.
The writer and everyone else upset by this should focus their energy to try and CHANGE the system, and not writing articles suggesting their readers should KILL someone else.

a good cut of meat can stand on its own without any additions of spices or flavors.
no it cant. you take the best steak and you give it a nice light coat of fresh ground sea salt and cracked peppercorns. then you brown it in a iron skillet. then you place hunks of no salt butter on top of it and put the whole thing in to the oven, pan and all at three fifty to finish cooking. so there.
So you don't add salt to meat when you cook it?

i always wondered what non-salted butter was for.So you don't add salt to meat when you cook it?
nah i do. i'm just saying it could stand on it's own and be delicious as is. i normally don't do anything to filets or pork chops, in the rare occasions i cook them.

140 pounds overweight isn't "lean" anything.
It is healthier being the amount overweight than the amount underweight she is. I used to work for a company where I predicted who would die in the next year and being underweight was a parameter that predicted such things. Unless you are morbidly obese it doesn't predict anything for the short-term. When you are that skinny you don't have any back-up in case you get sick.
Md. bills to ban bulk purchases of concert, sports tickets

http://wtop.com/?nid=893&sid=3558687
Actually it is a bill to ban use of certain software (according to the referenced story). It does not (again according to the story) ban the actual bulk purchase of tickets. It would be all but impossible to prevent someone bound and determined on buying any given number of tickets to an event from doing so.

I take the commuter train to work. A train comes every 30 minutes. As I walk to the train platform, I always see grown middle aged men sitting in their cars blasting the heat waiting for the train's arrival time. They're pussies and they need to dress warmer. But I get it. If my 19 year old car had heat, I might do the same thing.
What I don't get is why a couple of them absolutely blast their car radio (always morning talk radio) to the point that you can be walking 20 feet away from the person's car and hear the radio loud and clear through the closed windows. Does the heater make such a loud sound in car that this must be done?

But I get it. If my 19 year old car had heat, I might do the same thing.I drive to the subway in the morning and blast the heat on the way. I listen to NPR. When I get back in the car I'm always shocked at how loud the radio is. So yeah, I guess that the heater is loud. NPR doesn't have as much grating background noise/music, and their voices are generally more soothing so prob not as bad as if you were listening to elliot in the morning or something like that. Those radio shows grate on my nerves like crazy...it's like having the disney channell on...all this horrible canned music and laughter...

Maybe they are getting pumped up for the day. You take a train to the subway? And you have a 19 year old car? Ouch. I bought a new car last night. It wasn't the Audi I wanted but I sacrificed for the kid and got a smaller BMW. My payment went down and I have better gas mileage. You might have influenced me a bit. I hope the kid when he poops out appreciates me downgrading.
Maybe we should have a auto thread. I love cars. We are dudes so we all love cars right?
I don't take the subway (Metro). I take the VRE. Much nicer and devoid of all of the riffraff who ride Metro.
i've driven the 19 year old car for 14 of its years. I would never buy a car where you have to make payments. I've always paid cash for any car I've ever owned.
I actually drive that car less that five mile round trip every day. I don't see a reason to replace it. If I want to actually go somewhere, I use our other car, which I paid cash for.I take the commuter train to work. A train comes every 30 minutes.

I don't buy my cars to impress people, I buy them to have means of getting from Point A to Point B.
The last car I paid cash for was a 2006 RAV4, purchased in 2008. Hardly a "junker". And I drive my daughter home from her after school care less than a mile each day, hitting one light and topping out at about 25 mph in a suburban neighborhood. I think we'll be fine, but thanks for your concern.

2006 Toyota RAV 4 is a junker. I had one of those cars for a loaner when I took my car in for service once. I had no leg room. It had no acceleration, poor handling and poor braking. I can only imagine if it was such a poor car when it was new how bad it would be now. And you bought the car for your wife. It wasn't for you.
I don't buy cars to impress people. I like safe cars. And a 19 year old car isn't safe. I certainly wouldn't drive a child I claim to care about in it. And I am guessing it was a pretty awful car when you bought it.
But the whole point is you can't afford a decent car and you can't afford concert tickets and you can only afford half a beer a night which is all fine but you somehow think you are better than everyone else and you are giving people life advice.
I put the maximum into my 401k each year. I know how to save. If I am paying 0 percent interest on one car and 3.19 percent on the other with a good size down payment on both. I don't have any credit card debt. I owe a pittance on my mortgage. My total debt is less than my yearly income. There is a difference between being responsible and being cheap. I don't give anyone life advice as I am certainly not an expert.
You can keep driving your broken down cars but don't act like you know everything.
I thought this WAS the bull session thread. What one are you referring to, Mr Julian?http://forum.930.com/index.php?topic=23607.0
I don't buy my cars to impress people, I buy them to have means of getting from Point A to Point B.
The last car I paid cash for was a 2006 RAV4, purchased in 2008. Hardly a "junker". And I drive my daughter home from her after school care less than a mile each day, hitting one light and topping out at about 25 mph in a suburban neighborhood. I think we'll be fine, but thanks for your concern.

2006 Toyota RAV 4 is a junker. I had one of those cars for a loaner when I took my car in for service once.What an amazing example of kismet that is! That you just so happened to have the same year, make, and model car as James Ford once as a rental. The odds against such a thing are really quite staggering, but all in this community are equally lucky that you JUST SO HAPPENED to once drive one of these vehicles and can share your assessment of this vehicle. Just imagine if instead you had been given a 2005 Camry as your loaner: why, you'd have nothing to share assessment-wise on James' car at all as you certainly wouldn't make up such a unverifiable claim. It's just nice that the messageboard Gods sometimes work these sort of things out for us.
Don't even get my started on that library lady I once dated.

Also, it's possible you may hae had the 4cylinder, 2 wheel drive. The 6 cylinder, 4wd performs wel, i'm happy to report.
I just measured nine inches. Appears to be a lot of snow out there, too.
I take the commuter train to work. A train comes every 30 minutes. As I walk to the train platform, I always see grown middle aged men sitting in their cars blasting the heat waiting for the train's arrival time. They're pussies and they need to dress warmer. But I get it. If my 19 year old car had heat, I might do the same thing.
What I don't get is why a couple of them absolutely blast their car radio (always morning talk radio) to the point that you can be walking 20 feet away from the person's car and hear the radio loud and clear through the closed windows. Does the heater make such a loud sound in car that this must be done?
Maybe they are getting pumped up for the day. You take a train to the subway? And you have a 19 year old car? Ouch. I bought a new car last night. It wasn't the Audi I wanted but I sacrificed for the kid and got a smaller BMW. My payment went down and I have better gas mileage. You might have influenced me a bit. I hope the kid when he poops out appreciates me downgrading.
Maybe we should have a auto thread. I love cars. We are dudes so we all love cars right?

I wonder how atomic's rear wheel drive 3 series is handling the snow today?
Any know-it-alls driven a recent rav4 or Forrester? Debating between the two.

Had an Outback rental. Mediocre handling, medoicre braking and poor acceleration. Very ugly interior. I am sure the forester is similar. I guess at least with the Subaru the gas pedal won't stick. Test drive them both and choose which one you like best. Really the only Japanese car company with decent vehicles is Infiniti.
Hold off until late 2016 and get a Urus.

Its shocking to cross the border from MoCo to PG. Either MoCo knows how to handle snow and PG is woefully incompetent, or the MoCo plows pushed all of their snow across the border when noone was looking.

I have never said I was wealthy. Where do you get stuff from? Julian is the rich one. I am middle class.
So UAW is trying to unionize the VW plant in Chattanooga, TN. VW wants the plant unionized so they can have worker councils like they do everywhere else in the world. GOP in TN is spending a bunch of money to try and stop the plant from being unionized. VW states that if the plant isn't unionized they might move the production plant for their new mid-sized SUV to Mexico. GOP doesn't want a union in the south because they are afraid union workers will support Republicans.
Does a political party get any more stupid than the US Republican Party?
Wow, what a brave announcement!

For the past six months I've been ordering things off of Amazon for free and not being billed.
I had a credit card that was hacked, which I then cancelled but it was kept in my Amazon profile for my billing and I never changed it. Anyway, I placed a small order and realized I was never charged and have ordered a few other misc. items over the course of a few months and still haven't been charged. No order has exceeded $100.
Do I go crazy and continue to order? Will it get noticed at some point or have I hit some random loophole that I'm not being billed?
Thoughts?

Sure commit fraud. I am sure they don't have access to this forum from prison so it is a win for all.
as long as they are items you are willing to pay for i don't' seee the problem in ordering them..just be prepared for the bill to come due at once when they catch on...
For the past six months I've been ordering things off of Amazon for free and not being billed.I don't understand why this would be a particularly appealing situation? Why don't you just buy what you want and charge it to your family's company as a business expense like normal people?

inciting riots for the second time, being banned from whole countries because of being out of control, being homophobic and having little to no talent. venues that allow him to play, are asking for an entitled brat and what comes from it.Translation: he said "faggot" at some point.

through deductive reasoning I have come to the conclusion that there must have been a website at one point that noted where exits were located in metro stations.

Maybe your jogging is what made your back weak in the first place. I swam 24 laps, did a hot-tub, and relaxed in the sauna at lunch. My lunch sounds better than yours. I saw Camera Obscura at the 930 club years ago.

Well maybe Hutch and Killsally would but the rest of you wouldn't.We've had many successful boardie meet ups, albeit most are before or after a show as opposed to getting together just for the sake of getting together. We did that for Xmas once I think.

For those of you familiar with the traffic heading into DC from the south, I need some help with planning a trip from Richmond to DCA. I have a flight out of DCA this Friday at 11:45am. MapQuest gives travel time as 1 hour 47 minutes, however that does not factor in the time of day and any associated traffic. Assuming i would want to be at DCA by about 10:30 am Friday, what would be an appropriate time to leave Richmond?

41 fucking tweets today by the 9:30 club...
I think you should stay at a hotel/motel near the airport Thursday night. And leave your car parked there while you're gone. The hotels charge about half of what long term parking at DCA does and maybe they'll even give you a better deal if you stay overnight.
Just checked with Amtrak and I can get a train to Union Station for just $33 that will arrive at 9:00 am. Further checking the metro maps, I can hop the red line form Union to La'Enfant, switch to the yellow line and that to DCA. Total ride time on the metro is 22 minutes. Allow 30 minutes or so for waiting and that will put me at DCA about 10:00. I think that may just be the way to go.

Here's a pet peeve I bet others out there share...
It is so exasperating when adults and older teens ride their bikes on the city sidewalks and expect walkers to clear out of their way. I mean, if it's a little kid on a bike, fine. I'd want my little kid to ride on the sidewalk for safety. But if you're an adult, or the size of an adult, you're old enough to be riding your bike on the road.
This was taken to new level last weekend, when we were walking from Nats Park to eat at Matchbox in Cap Hill. Our family of three was walking on the sidewalk, when we heard a cyclist approaching us from behind, demanding in a loud voice that we move out of the way. We did, stood for 20 seconds off to the side of the sidewalk as the cyclist approached and passed (the street was void of traffic by the way). The cyclist was met with a barrage of profanities from my wife after he passed (which, trust me, is never fun), but he just seemed to ignore it and keep going.
Oh and where are your photos James Ford, Julian, GGW, wml7 etc?

where is yours, holding a sign that says I'm atomic?
I'd recommend taking a selfie at work, emailing it to yourself, and uploading it to a picture hosting site.

i was going to post my photo, but then, i realized, that i work in a very professional business, with plenty of people, on a daily basis, whether it be the public, or the professional office staff. i dont want fucked in the head people doing anything or attempting anything to jeopardize my job. people are crazy, people are fucked up, people hate, people hold grudges, people shoot strangers in california from their car, because they think people dont like them and they have severe mental problems. i dont need people, knowing who i am, and that doesnt bother me.I swear, I do not understand why half of you conflate this place with 4chan. We are a bunch of 30+ year old indie music fans, not frustrated 16 year olds living in our parents basements.

Julian's two pictures don't look too similar IMO.
I'd bet none of those pics are actually Julian.
I'd bet none of those pics are actually Julian.Ive met like ten people on here. I pulled them off my Facebook, and they are several months apart which explains the different hairstyle/color.
Why would you bet that? Are you trying to say that he was actually post such unflattering pics if it wasn't him?I'd bet none of those pics are actually Julian.
He has before. I remember distinctly a photo of him and Celeste.Why would you bet that? Are you trying to say that he was actually post such unflattering pics if it wasn't him?James why don't you post your own photo. I don't understand the need to post that about everyone.

Well, for starters, we can avoid the obvious first question of what horrible decisions this wretched creature has made that led up to the moment that photo was taken, and just jump to some ephemera such as why did this dude shave that one part of his upper lip and cheek and nothing else?

What is the average height of Jewish males? I am guessing Jeff Goldblum is way above the norm for his race. Anyway this is stupid. Just a way for you to put down hutch.
I wasn't putting down Hutch. Jeff Goldblum is more handsome than Kurt Cobain ever was.

I think it is stereotyping...Latinos are all sorts of different people...the term is just stupid and every time people use it they should think about it..
I dont mind being considered a "Latino" any more...but its silly.. my family comes from Poland, Lithuania and Italy... no different than most Americans...most if my family from Poland emigrated to the US (Brooklyn) straight.. I just happened to arguably take the longer way around (although I was born in the US)
at 6 2 I don't feel short...

Who cares whether you think Jeff Goldblum is more handsome than Kurt Cobain. Nobody on here is either person and why would you think we care which guy you find more attractive?
My wife said you look "frightening", and "like the poor man's Kurt Cobain."
People have told Hutch he looks like Jeff Goldblum (based on picture, I can see it at least a little bit).
Hence, Hutch has a more attractive celebrity lookalike than you do, imo!I wasn't putting down Hutch. Jeff Goldblum is more handsome than Kurt Cobain ever was.

But do you cut coupons, shop for clothes at walmart, drive a 1996 Saturn, and eat at soup kitchens... That is the only way to be a true Freedom fighter.

I received a parking ticket in the mail for an expired meter in Prince George's County. First of all, I've been to PG County about five times in 12 years and sure as hell haven't had an expired parking ticket there.
My options are take at least a half day off of work and go to court to fight it or suck it up and pay the $25 fee as there is NOTHING that can be done to reverse it.
Talk about getting bent over when I'm trying to be thrifty.

Or just don't pay it. DC gave me a parking ticket when I parked outside the 930 club and my metered wasn't expired. I just didn't pay it. They put it on my credit report and I wrote to the credit bureaus that I did not park illegally in DC and they all took it off. If you don't go there what can they do? Well if you live in Maryland probably a lot but if you live in Virginia or DC you should be fine.

There already is a path to citizenship. It is called enter the country legally. Hispanic does not equal illegal. It is rather racist of you to make that generalization. I can only imagine the backlash by libs had a conservative done that. The work that needs to be done is enforce the immigration laws we have now. There is nothing we should do that will reward someone who by the very first act in entering the country, broke the law. I do think we need to make one revision to our law, that being we need to modify the 'if you are born here you are a citizen' law to be 'if you are born here and your parents are legal and citizens then you are a citizen.

If you want to someday receive something from that Social Security fund you have been paying into, you should welcome every immigrant with open arms. Cause those self-absorbed Baby Boomer fuckers are going to spend the next 25-30 years pillaging that shit.

Not me..I am for limited legalization and a path toward legalization for all.....its just a matter of time my friend... a matter of demographics....math.....there are at least 53-55 million hispanics legally in this country...reproducing at a faster rate than any other group.... unless the Republican Party wants to lose every election moving forward they're going to have to work with Democrats on the issue of immigration... no matter what some of their constituency thinks... how do Republicans win if they give up on states like Colorado, Nevada, Florida and New Mexico.... there is simply no path to the presidency without hispanic support in so many swing states... Even North Carolina has a lot of hispanics...
There already is a path to citizenship. It is called enter the country legally. Hispanic does not equal illegal. It is rather racist of you to make that generalization. I can only imagine the backlash by libs had a conservative done that. The work that needs to be done is enforce the immigration laws we have now. There is nothing we should do that will reward someone who by the very first act in entering the country, broke the law. I do think we need to make one revision to our law, that being we need to modify the 'if you are born here you are a citizen' law to be 'if you are born here and your parents are legal and citizens then you are a citizen.

Legal immigration is a joke...its not like the old days where you could come in..these days getting in line is like getting in a neverending line that never moves... those people here illegally are here because they are needed as workers..they don't come here just to hang out!... you want to stop illegal immigration? don't give them jobs... they're going to keep coming as long as they can get jobs... there is a great hypocrisy to the position that they should come legally but hey if you come illegally we'll give you jobs..of course we'll exploit you... why are those guys outside the hardware store or 7-11 every morning picked up by Americans to work? Because they are cheap and do good work. America couldn't survive without illegal immigrants....
As far as the "if you're born here you're American" aspect... I think its served us fine for hundreds of years so I would not change it...

If you want to someday receive something from that Social Security fund you have been paying into, you should welcome every immigrant with open arms. Cause those self-absorbed Baby Boomer fuckers are going to spend the next 25-30 years pillaging that shit.
I think most people do welcome LEGAL immigrants. However there is no justifiable reason to reward someone when their very first act of entering the country is to break the law. It is 100% pure common sense. All I am asking is that if someone wants to come to this country and be a citizen is that they do so legally.

i've met and stayed with families in central america who have a few family members in the states. a young, bright member of their family tried to immigrate the right way and got denied. next time, he decided to cross illegally. when the difference is stay at home and make $1USD vs. $10USD abroad, the legality of what you're doing probably does not concern you very much. by no means am i justiifying this, but i think it starts to paint the picture of why it's not so black and white. perhaps the answer is both make nationalization easier, and harsher penalties for those who do break the law.

This begs the question of why he was denied. Under these circumstances, he should have been immediately shipped back home and whoever it was that paid him $10 an hour should have been fined heavily.
By the logic above, if I can't get a decent paying job then it is justifiable for me to rob a bank in order to make a lot of money and to heck with it being illegal. I do comprehend that you do not justify it, but it is still black and white.

If we decide to go down the path of not having 'illegals', start expecting to see a major price increase at the grocery store, the new home market and tons of other industries that pretty much use this labor to keep costs low.
The other thing is most 'Americans' don't want these jobs at all. I've heard many stories in the south one state started really cracking down, so the migrant population pretty much left the state and the farmers couldn't pay anyone to pick the fruit.
luckily they are increasingly becoming a minority...Unfortunately it can't happen fast enough for me

kicking out illegal immigrants has devastating effects on local economies. while the position of "they broke the law to get here so we need to kick them out no matter what" reeks of moral superiority and is a complete disregard of reality.
Alabama, Georgia and Oklahoma (all bastions of racial tolerance) all passed don't-hire-illegals laws, and the results were horrible:
A new study details the economic impact of harsh immigration laws such as those passed by Alabama and five other states. Published by the Center for Business & Economic Research at the University of Alabama, it?s the first economic cost-benefit analysis (PDF) of the state?s immigration statute. Dr. Samuel Addy, an economist and director of the Center, found that the law, known as HB 56, will annually shrink Alabama?s economy by at least $2.3 billion and will cost the state not less than 70,000 jobs. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-02-14/alabamas-immigration-law-could-cost-billions-annually
Bitter Harvest: U.S. Farmers Blame Billion-Dollar Losses on Immigration Laws
http://business.time.com/2012/09/21/bitter-harvest-u-s-farmers-blame-billion-dollar-losses-on-immigration-laws/
Following the passage of Alabama's strict immigration law, which has caused thousands of undocumented immigrants to flee the state due to fears of deportation, farmers are suffering from a labor shortage that they say won't be filled by unemployed American citizens
Farmers in Alabama and other parts of the country often must rely on undocumented immigrants for labor because they say Americans aren't willing to commit themselves to strenuous, low-paying jobs that immigrants are willing to perform -- and well. http://www.ibtimes.com/illegal-immigrant-crackdown-alabama-leads-severe-agricultural-labor-shortage-325334
To forgo a repeat of last year, when labor shortages triggered an estimated $140 million in agricultural losses, as crops rotted in the fields, officials in Georgia are now dispatching prisoners to the state?s farms to help harvest fruit and vegetables. (this plan didn't work) http://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2012/05/17/the-law-of-unintended-consequences-georgias-immigration-law-backfires/
Alabama?s situation is not unique. Georgia passed a similar immigration law in 2011. When undocumented workers fled, farmers lost around 40% of their workers and $140 million worth of blueberries, melons, onions, and other crops due to labor shortages. This year Georgia farmers again fear they will be short on workers to pick the crops, and many have scaled back production or stopped planting altogether. (...) Many farmers want to hire local workers, but it is increasingly difficult to find U.S. natives with the proper skills. Few are willing or able to perform the physically taxing and low paying labor which requires them to move with the crops, even with wages of $15-$20 an hour. http://www.policymic.com/articles/8272/alabama-illegal-immigrant-crackdown-destroys-farm-business
Back in 2007, theOklahomalegislature passed a bill titled the Oklahoma Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act of 2007, otherwise known as HB 1804. Its intent was just like that ofAlabama?s HB56 ? drive out undocumented immigrants.
Supporters of HB 1804 said the same thing about undocumented immigrants that Alabama supporters are saying now ? that the undocumented are a drain on their state.
Well, it?s been four years and Oklahoma legislators are seeing and feeling the effects of just how wrong they were.
?Since the passage of House Bill 1804, we?ve seen a mass exodus of undocumented immigrants who have taken up residence in Texas and other surrounding states where they pump millions of dollars into those economies,? Sen. Harry Coates, R-Seminole said. ?House Bill 1804 did little more than put Oklahoma companies at a disadvantage by sending dedicated, knowledgeable workers to competing companies in other states. Losing that workforce has been devastating for many of Oklahoma?s industries, including agriculture, energy and construction.? http://laprensa-sandiego.org/editorial-and-commentary/commentary/oklahoma-latest-state-recognizing-anti-immigrant-law-was-bad-business/
so all the build-a-wall yahoos are essentially saying: it's more important to kick people out on principle (AKA "just because"), then it is to have jobs and a healthy economy.

The whole problem is that business are forced to provide insurance in the first place. There is absolute no logical reason that an employer should be your point of purchase for insurance.

I have no idea who (if anyone) subscribes to this theory other than me. However it really has a basis in logic and reason. The whole concept of having employers as the point of purchase of your health insurance is absurd on its face. Forcing employers to provide insurance is the worst thing that ever happened to the health care system. Taking steps to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to have healthcare is great, but the way it is one now is down right stupid. It causes many problems and much higher costs. If we instead made it illegal for employers to actually provide the insurance and rather allowed them to provide funding for employees to go out and buy exactly what they want, the system would be much better. Make it so that part of the compensation package would be up to $X for purchasing insurance. Employees could then go get what they want knowing how much would be funded for them. We should allow BC/BS to go back to what they were initially supposed to be, that being (for lack of better term) insurance brokers who sell all plans from all companies. The saving would be HUGE...
Employers save:
They would not have to have staff who maintain all of the insurance records.
They would not have to negotiate every year over insurance plans with insurance companies.
They would not have to do the tons of paper work involved every year.
Insurance companies cave:
They would not have to negotiate every year over insurance plans with each employer.
Consumers save:
They will no longer be forced to buy only what their employer offers.
They can be part of whatever plan and group they want to buy into. These groups are not limited to just the employees of one business. They can be huge and with the risk being spread larger prices come down. This is one of the base principles of insurance and risk.
They no longer have to worry about portability since your insurance is YOURS not your employers.
Lastly, we need to treat health care like what it is. It is NOT a market commodity. Health care should not be a for profit enterprise (assuming we all know the difference between non-profit and not for profit). We need to eliminate these HMOs and such that are publicly traded ventures. Basically, unless you are an employee of the health care system, you ought not make money off of other people being sick. (That is way over simplified, but I am thinking you see the point I am making.)

The US is not the world's police. ISIS has, literally, no effect on the general American's life. It's the very definition of "not our problem." It is a catastrophic waste of life and money to go deal with some nuts who are taking part in a religious uprising in another country.
Should we go into the DPRK next? Hundreds of thousands more people are being killed and repressed there than in ISIS controlled territories. Should we go into Columbia? I mean, at some point, you just have to go "this has nothing to do with us." I'm sad a journalist was murdered but I don't think the appropriate response is a multi-billion dollar action that will kill tons of innocent people.
Did you have the same thoughts about al-Quaeda pre-9/11?Yes, because the documented scope and ability of ISIS vs al-Qaeda pre-9/11 are totally equivalent. That's such a legitimate equivalency you're making there. You know, I heard about these Irish teenagers who scribbled anti-American rhetoric on a building and robbed a cornershop; I suppose we should invade the United Kingdom too.
Should we go into Columbia?

we should stay out of the Middle East...cut all aid off to Israel and Egypt and let them deal with their problems.. the idea that they will come after us here in the US if we don't get in their business is just not backed up by the facts....

There is only ONE thing that will stop them and that is when both sides get fed up with waking up each day to find their brothers, sisters, moms, and dads laying next to them dead. Not one thing else will ever get them to stop.
We need to treat this like two kids fighting. Let them slug each other until they get tired of playing that game and move on.
funny, i've come to the "two kids fighting" analogy recently too. however, when i see two kids hitting each other i don't just walk away and hope that they'll eventually get tired of knocking each other's teeth out. the right thing is to intervene and to teach them how to get along, or forcibly separate them, or get them to express why they're fighting, etc etc etc.The analogy is flawed, though, for a couple of reasons. One, the US is not an adult and other countries children. Should an adult walk away from two children who are fighting? Of course not. As an adult, they have the moral authority (and responsibility) to step in. That is just laughably not the case in the US.
the kids fighting analogy is good for understanding how they are currently behaving, but i'm not sure that it it leads to a good solution. impose a time-out? take away their dessert?

I cannot stand whenever a new cell phone gets released, especially anything by Apple. Every male under 35 on the internet forms a clan and becomes a complete asshole for a month in some idiotic attempt to show who has the largest techno-penis.
Hey now I kept my whining about the iPod to a minimum and Kosmette went out and got us a spare. I use my iPod as backup when DJing...
who wants to buy one of the bricks I have in my collection?
I can appreciate where you're coming from, but it seems like a false equivalency. One thing is a one-time, one-day kerfuffle versus something that happens for a few weeks multiple times a year. And none of us who like the iPod Classic are going around insulting people who just bought a Zune or whatever and telling them they have a "faggot music player" or some nonsense. My comments were more directed at the lack of common courtesy and decency that happens because - dear God - someone did or did not by a [insert phone model here].Hey now I kept my whining about the iPod to a minimum and Kosmette went out and got us a spare.

OK so I have been absent for a bit from haunting the forum, what can i say? Well I was on a cruise with NCL from the 6th through the 13th. We sailed out of Miami and went to St Marten, St Thomas, and Nassau. Damn what an amazing vacation that was. It was so much fun that it has taken me the best part of a week and half to fully recover! Not only did we all have a fantastic time, but on the final night of the cruise they held a raffle giving away a lot of prizes. They drew my number for the final prize, a free 7-day cruise for two! So now I get to go again. Yes! Other than that i was able to score a pair of tickets to the Foo Fighters show here in Richmond last week. I took my dad (he is 87 years old) and we had a blast!
Anyway I am back among the living and will be here stirring things up again in short order. Walky, my dad and brother are out fishing this week and will be back home with the catch this weekend. I'll drop you a PM if it looks like I cna bring you guys some mahi-mahi!
I can't think of anything more dreadful than going on a cruise. Or going to a Foo Fighters show.What about a Foo Fighters cruise?
Oh wait, I can. It's going on two cruises.
Other than that i was able to score a pair of tickets to the Foo Fighters show here in Richmond last week. I took my dad (he is 87 years old) and we had a blast!Very cool, I was there as well. Glad you and your father had a great time!

I thought I would completely hate going on a cruise but the family did one this summer to the Bahamas and it was absolutely delightful. By the eighth day, we were ready to get off the boat, but during the week, there was a million things to do, we spent a fortune on everything, and made the most of all of our island stops. It helped greatly that in eight days, it was clear sunny skies except for a 20 minute rain on day 7.
I'm not hopping to do another one anytime soon but I was very pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had.

At least four people have died after contracting a severe respiratory illness that has spread to more than 40 states, public health officials announced on Wednesday. The deaths were the first to be linked to the nationwide outbreak of enterovirus 68, which has caused an influx of sick children ? some of them critically ill ? at hospitals around the country. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed 472 cases of the infection as of Wednesday, although experts said the true number of cases was likely to be many times that number.

and a woman who wears the purdah is hardly a "radical muslim"!
I am not sure how much prejudiced bigoted hate speech the moderators of this boards should tolerate...
What hutch said...
Surely you would agree that requiring a woman to dress like that is "radical", and that there is no place for that kind of shit here in a progressive country where women and men are equals?
Surely, there are many Muslims that are saying much more hateful things toward Americans than anything I said.
the bible has plenty of passages about slavery, stoning adulterers, klling your enemies, etc.
there are lots of burka-wearers in Saudi Arabia or taliban-controlled Afghanistan; but there are a billion more that don't in Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh... not to count the ~3 million muslims in the U.S.
listen, i'm no fan or radical islam and if they tell me that my wife and daughter need to start wearing a tent, i'm taking up arms. but until that happens, it's stupid and bigoted to paint all members of a religion based on a small militant minority.
check out that CNN video i linked above. you're coming across like the CNN hosts (but maybe you don't see what's wrong with what they're saying...)
Surely you would agree that requiring a woman to dress like that is "radical", and that there is no place for that kind of shit here in a progressive country where women and men are equals?

not sure how muslims fit into this, but congrats on seizing the opportunity to say something uninformed and overly generalized. reza aslan has a few thoughts on this: http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/bestoftv/2014/09/30/cnn-tonight-reza-aslan-bill-maher.cnn.html
added:My wife would say all Muslims, I would say radical Muslims.
they why don't you say that? equating all muslims as extremists is stupid.

don't, you agree, that if the article, begins with, fox news, it is a created well written piece of purist propaganda meant to create an emotional state that conforms with the need to feel that mistrust is ok within the system?
Did some poking around and it appears Sidehatch is right on this one.
Though the prices for standing and seated used to be the same, it appears that most or all of the current shows on the calendar have a higher price for seating.
In regard to standing in front:
Please note that there will be a dance floor for this show and the front row of tables will be cleared out. Be advised that there may be some seated areas where vision of the stage may be obstructed. **** Ticket price includes a champagne toast and gumbo dinner.
FYI: Old 97's did do an appearance at Iota one time. I didn't go, but I remember readind that it was more of a listening party for a new album (where they actually showed up...not sure if they played). So Sidehatch is sort of right on saying theay they've only played shows at 9:30. Rhett Miller has played solo shows at a number of local venues.
I think I'll sit this one out and wait for the next 9:30 Club show.
Sorry I'm too lazy to move this to commentary thread.Old 97's doing two nights @ The Hamilton Live
12/30 & 31 (nye with the texas boys)
First time the've come to town and not play the 930
Don't really love that venue because of all the seats
what is nice is you can buy the cheaper standing room seats then go down to the tiny dance floor and stand in front of the people who paid for the seats in the front
More often than not the tickets are the same price and there are tables all the way towards the stage on the dance floor. Wouldn't assume that you'll be able to stand in front -- worth checking first.
Party at Seths house. After every show.Well if an anonymous dude in a comments section says its true, I believe it without reservation.

Feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian was forced to cancel a talk that would have taken place tonight at Utah State University after the university received a terror threat from someone claiming they would commit ?the deadliest school shooting in American history? if Sarkeesian gave her lecture.
The threat, e-mailed to Utah State staff by someone purporting to be a student, stated, ?I have at my disposal a semi-automatic rifle, multiple pistols, and a collection of pipe bombs,? according to the Standard Examiner. The letter-writer warned of an attack like the Montreal massacre targeting lecture attendees, faculty, staff and the university?s women?s center and claimed university efforts to step up security would be fruitless.
?One way or another, I?m going to make sure they die,? the letter-writer claimed.
Sarkeesian is a blogger and critic who founded the Web site Feminist Frequency, where she discusses sexist and misogynistic tropes in video games and critiques gamer culture. As escalating threats of death and rape marked Sarkeesian?s tenure as a video game vlogger, she?s been adamant about not allowing them to silence her.
The Utah State threat is just the latest one in the ongoing saga of Gamergate, an increasingly nasty culture war between video-game critics like Sarkeesian and a mob of gamers. (See this post by the Post?s Caitlin Dewey for more.) Sarkeesian isn?t the only woman who has received death threats in connection with Gamergate. On Friday, game developer Brianna Wu left her home after alerting police that she received a death threat that included her home address. Zoe Quinn, an independent developer who was the original target of Gamergate, was also forced to leave her home because of death threats. In August, the threats grew so severe that Sarkeesian was forced to flee her home too.
I honestly had never heard anything about this whole gamergate thing before today. Wow.
Its giving me a major case of confirmation bias.I honestly had never heard anything about this whole gamergate thing before today. Wow.
Nor did I and I have to say I'm glad I didn't know about it.
I honestly had never heard anything about this whole gamergate thing before today. Wow.
Adult males whose main hobby is playing video games are misogynistic? This is considered news?See my comment re:confirmation bias.

I think Ebola is a Muslim terrorist plot to get non-Muslim women to wear those slit-only burkas.
My brother-in-law believes Ebola is a muslim plot too.I didn't know you and RatBastard were related by marriage. Small world.
He also believes that Obama is intentionally letting ISIL advance because he (Obama) was raised in the muslim faith in Indonesia and fully supports the establishment of a strict islamic caliphate as prophesied in the Koran. As proof, he notes that the airstrikes have been executed at night, have only attacked property, and have had no impact on ISIL's strength. My brother-in-law also has a collection of guns, a trove of physical gold, and a few months' worth of bottled water and freeze-dried meals.

Has anyone else had issues with TicketFly's snail-mail envelopes being open when they receive them? Twice this week I've received tickets in open envelopes. It doesn't look like they've been opened. It looks like they were never sealed in the first place. Luckily the tickets were still inside, but it's only a matter of time before they go missing. Anyone else?

I don't understand your post. Did someone say white people don't kill anyone in America? Well, they'd be wrong.
According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and Native Americans and Asians 2.2%.

In other words you support only criminal having firearms.No guns.
As of 2007 about 5.2% of Australian adults (765,000 people)[1] own and use firearms for purposes such as hunting, controlling feral animals, collecting, security work, and target shooting.
A minority of Americans own guns, but just how many is unclear. More than a third of Americans say they or someone in their household owns a gun. There are by various estimates anywhere from 270 million to 310 million guns in the United States ? close to one firearm for every man, woman and child.
And therein lies the problem with guns in the USA...even if we banned them outright (which will never happen)...we'd need to deal with the 300 million guns (that we know of) that are already here

South Korean gun death rate per 100,000:
0.06 (mixed years)
USA:
10.30 (2011)

If a criminal here gets caught with a gun, then they will be jailed.

I bet the rate in my neighborhood is way lower.I dont know. YOu say "I bet" without providing any numbers or links to back it up.
Is it because way less people in my neighborhood own guns?

I didnt say ban drugs.
I say ban all guns.
I was pointing out that 'banning' something does not make that thing go away. If you are not intelligent enough to recognize that fact then there really is no point having this discussion any further. Enjoy your rose colored glasses. Next!
Well, actually you did say ban all guns.it was a joke.I say ban all guns.
I actually don't think all guns need to be outlawed (for home protection, police officers (but should NOT use them unless absolutely needed), the military, and for hunting).
But I do feel like we have a serious problem with gun violence in the USA.
What is the solution?
Who knows?
Everyone seems to be either this or that.
I was pointing out that 'banning' something does not make that thing go away. If you are not intelligent enough to recognize that fact then there really is no point having this discussion any further. Enjoy your rose colored glasses. Next!
actually, RB, there is no point in discussing intelligently with you. if something isn't 100% effective there no point in doing it? murders still happen, so we should just make it legal since it's going to happen anyways? brilliant.
the argument that "if you ban guns, only criminals will have them" is asinine. if you follow that logic, there is no point in making anything illegal. why make murder illegal? only criminals will murder! why making speeding illegal? only speeders will speed!
newsflash: the reason why you make something illegal is to stop most from doing it, and to have a framework to punish those who don't. just because it won't be 100% effective isn't a reason to not do it.
and to those idiots who claim "but we'll be less safe without our guns" - WAY more people are killed by gun accidents every year than are saved from home invasions (a complete bogeyman) or other instances where a gun was "needed for defense".
gun nuts need to admit something: they like guns because it makes them feel powerful. which is fine, in abstract; but the toll guns extract on society makes this bit of machoism irresponsible and selfish.

Like I'm sure a 73 year old woman who lives alone in a trailer park with her precious metals under her bed next to a trailer full of methheads would own a gun because she desires to feel powerful and macho.the argument that "if you ban guns, only criminals will have them" is asinine. if you follow that logic, there is no point in making anything illegal. why make murder illegal? only criminals will murder! why making speeding illegal? only speeders will speed!

ive had vanity plates with tons of interesting words i believe for the entire time i have driven a vehicle. i prefer stick shift over automatic for you feel more connected to the machinery with your hand stoking the shaft to the engine. ive always known Virginia has had the most and it has been that way for the last twenty five years. ive tried to figure the reason why that is then rather accepted it as a fact that people from Virginia are different.
Could it be that you have to jump through more bureaucratic hoops in other states whereas VA tends to make things easy? Or maybe it's cheaper?
(http://wulol.com/media/uploads/2012/12/eat-the-kids-first-plate.jpg)This guy had his plates revoked by the state. Somehow the guy with the "Vagina" license plate still has his... as far as I know. The actual plate says "Agina" but he got the plates that have the UVA logo on the left which is a big orange V. So... V....AGINA... Get it? Pretty clever.

Why is VA better?Less crime, better history, better parks, better drivers. There's more money flowing through Virginia, but I don't think that makes it better because if you live in Fairfax or Loudon [some of the richest counties in the country] it doesn't automatically make you insanely rich or insanely snooty.

Plus the roads are shitty. Have you BEEN on 295? Christ almighty.
Anyone who is actively participating in this argument on either side is an absolute loser who needs to find something better to care about. Its an imaginary line.I was just egging others on. I don't really care who likes what or who thinks what state is better. It is funny to read what people think is better about their respective states.
Do you guys ACTUALLY care one way or the other?I really don't. I'm just surprised by how many of my friends make fun of me for being from Virginia. Meanwhile I couldn't care less about them being from Maryland. I always found it curious.

What's your troll account name on that site, James?
Seriously? Wonder what it will like being banned again?
Just give it a rest.... Sick and tired of the trolling...
You call it trolling, I call it trying to get people to wake the fuck up.
Maybe this is not the right forum for that kind of discussion?
