  1. No, it's not your fault. But it's not their fault either. From a historical perspective, American blacks are largely impoverished urban dwellers because of the lousy situation they were in post-slavery...the viscious cycle of poverty leaves them there today. Due to that, yes, I believe the scales ought to be tipped a little in their favor. By the way, why do the majority of conservatives on this board seem to despise college students, and young people in general?
  2. Probably NSFW
  3. Pro Player Stadium is NOT a baseball stadium. It is a football stadium that people were stupid enough to house a baseball team in. It is not even remotely suited for baseball and that (combined with zero local interest) has shown in attendance figures.
  4. Doesn't matter, they still affect resumes. Besides, those were just two examples. How about overcrowded classrooms, lack of supplies and materials, outdated textbooks, etc, etc.
  5. It's meant to be a tool to help even the playing field in terms of college admissions for black students, the great majority of whom don't have the advantages of extra curricular activities and SAT prep courses. A black student often has a less impressive college resume than a white student of equal intelligence because he had fewer advantages in his school system. Affirmative action does its best to make things a little more fair. I'm not saying it's a perfect system, but to call it discrimination toward white kids is just plain wrong.
  6. Geeze. If I'm the trucker, I let her into the truck with the caveat that she DOESN'T sleep with me.
  7. Yes, I do think you misunderstand what affirmative action is.
  8. For me, his most memorable piece of work was his first hand account of Ted Williams' last at bat. I'm a Yankees fan, and it almost brought tears to my eyes.
  9. I think he was referring to the way you mis-spelled "you're". Could be wrong though.
  10. Wasn't that song by Gordon Lightfoot? Maybe Cat did a cover I'm not aware of.
  11. Is that you Senator McCarthy? I KNEW he was still hiding around somewhere!
  12. Personally, I just can't stand the whole shaking camera thing. I don't know if thats petty of me, but I just don't like it. Same goes for Cloverfield, just hated it. Both Blair and Cloverfield got very good reviews, though. Whaddayagonnado?
  13. I know this is a loaded question and that it's nearly impossible to pick just one, among all the genres......but what is your #1 favorite song of all time? After some thinking, here's mine... Seven Nation Army, by The White Stripes
  14. It's probably best to just put up with it. I don't know your friend, but most guys (unfortunately) will take their wife's side. Unless, of course, the Bills are playing in the Superbowl. In that case, you should feel free to personally lock her in the basement and duct-tape her mouth shut.
  15. By that logic, why would Ralph have signed Dick to the extension while we were 5-1?
  16. No, at the time it was his first. Now he's just being a dumbass.
  17. Words' meanings (or in this case, acronyms' meanings) can change as society deems appropriate. UFO is a colloquialism for "alien spaceship".
  18. Studies need not be conducted on known facts.
  19. Be nice, people, it's his first post. Welcome to the board, jax.
  20. I also love the dude at the end who gets in his face and tells him to shut the f*ck up. Damn, crying the year after they won the superbowl. I wish he could step into our shoes for one season.
  21. You gotta admit, that's pretty cold. Whatever his political agenda, he was a legendary actor. Shouldn't he be shown some respect by the screen ACTORS guild?
  22. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1898292 As much as we Bills fans complain sometimes, we aren't little snivelling bitches like this dude!
  23. He's onto us! Seriously, how can you say stuff like that and then act offended when people call you a moron?
  24. I'm generally a cynic, but for whatever reason I believe Coleman that he didn't stomp him intentionally.
  25. Arrested Development, in my opinion the funniest series of all time. The final line of the show is basically Ron Howard promising the fans an AD movie...now it's over 4 years later and still no movie.
