Are the new words more deadly than the old words?

Never stop believing that things will turn out the way you imagine them. Approach every event with a positive attitude, and you cannot be conquered. You may be defeated from time to time, but never conquered. - my grandfather about a week before he passed...he always says that optimism is what got him through WWII

When I saw McIlroy for the first time at the Accenture Match Play I said to myself "wow, this kid could be #2 in the world in a couple of years". He's even par through round 1, and it seems the course is playing pretty easy in the good weather so he'd better pick it up a little.

And those are clues of legal/illegal status? Pretty sure naturalized people drive those sorts of cars too. I like Mexican music and I've got some tattoos.

Actually, Tom, I thought everybody would have the decency to avoid making the obvious joke.

No it doesnt...just like I said, Tim doesn't seem to think Marshall should have gotten off the hook either. Because they never learn.

Work on your reading comprehension...Graham said Lynch shouldn't get the same treatment as Marshall. He didn't say that Marshall deserved to have his suspension reduced. In no way, shape, or form does he imply that Lynch's crime is worse than Marshall's. Stupid logical fallacy on your part.

meh Scott is an awesome golfer, but he is having an awful year so far...I doubt he's able to put it together this weekend.

Yeah, and he's a good driver FWIW. Sorry, I took this as a pot shot toward hispanics, but if they are legitimately worse drivers, then my bad.

Hahaha I can explain...my top 2 sleepers were McIlroy and Johnson, but at first I didn't see Rory's name on the tee-off schedule, so I went with Dustin. Trust me though, Rory's got GAME.

Rory McIlroy, jot that name down and remember it...

Are illegals more likely to run red lights? Whats the point of even asking this? RIP, hopefully the driver of the van is prosecuted to the full extent of the law

I'm not worried about this. Just like last year when Marshawn was "injured", he's just going to sneak off and put on his "fred jackson" costume. Goodell will never know the difference. Seriously though, even though Marshawn is the better running back, I'm confident that Freddie can pick up the slack for 2-3 games.

Now THIS is old school rap....

Yeah my brother has season tix, so I go to quite a few games when I'm in town. And I guess, for me, I'd rather have something make logical sense than be entertaining.

get the legal team on it!

I personally don't understand why there can't j.ust be ties. Unless it's the playoffs, I don't even see the need for an overtime. Think of it this way... The game is played in the context of 60 minutes. If the teams are tied after 60 minutes, suddenly it becomes a 65 minute game. But both teams are rewarded 1 point just for not being able to win. If it's not decided in 65 minutes, it's decided by penalty shots (completely arbitrary, because you rarely see penalty shots in regulation). Does that situation make any sense? What is so horrible about a tie? Too inconclusive? Whatever.

That's just plain ignorant. You know that some of those countries have great beer too.

You see, there's your problem. I never said I disliked America. I said I love America. I was just kindly trying to offer a little perspective, and I challenge you to name one claim of mine that isn't true. Furthermore, if you look above, you'll see that I conceded LA's point. Why do you insist on turning every rational, sober opinion into "you hate America"? I mean, America isn't perfect. We have some problems in a myriad of issues if you hadn't noticed. Why do you equate a recognition of those problems with a distaste for the country itself?

Well put. We do certainly have the most liberties. Unfortunately, many Americans fail to use those liberties to make better people out of themselves. Just don't forget that other nations have their merits too.

Why don't you actually respond to the post you were responding too? Bad Lieutenant pointed out that Obama's speech also contained a portion where he pointed the finger at Europe for being overly critical and unappreciative toward America, but you just chose to brush that aside with a nationalistic rant. It seems that you'd rather give a big "f*ck you" to anybody that questions the American psyche than actually concede a point to Obama, even when you clearly agree with what he said. And, by the way, it all depends on how you define "greatest nation". Agreed, America provides the greatest opportunities and many would die to come here. But America does struggle when compared to other nations in Western civilization when it comes to primary and secondary education, literacy, obesity, general health, life expectancy, the strength of our currency, unemployment. If you really look at the situation objectively, the "greatest nation in the world" thing is more of an emotional response than a practical one. I love my country, but to turn a blind eye to all the problems we're dealing with and just say "nope, I don't care, we're the greatest" is ignorant.

How do you even begin to compare a tight end to a center? Suffice it to say they were both bad.

Hey cool, I'm from Lancaster too. It's a nice place, in my opinion. Might consider moving back when I get settled down.

I don't understand Philly. Housh was practically BEGGING them to sign him, and they refuse, but now they're after this has-been malcontent?

What's up my ass is that it's frickin 28 degrees in the middle of April, and you get to live in Orange County you bastard! appy polly loggies, as Alex de Large would say
