You missed this? It was trending before trending existed.

Just woke up from my coma, only to see that I should never give up on the Three Lions. Glad I DVR'd it. Build a bonfire!

!@#$ing pieces of !@#$ing ****. God !@#$ing dammit. There are no words to describe how pissed I am.

France wins. Too bad, I was looking forward to them embarrassing themselves again. Carroll's goal was magnificent. Sweden's got me a little nervous with all their chances today, though.

Why replace clowns with more clowns?

Little hefty for my taste.

At least buy the guy a drink first. Criminy

You're just lobbing up a softball here...

Cigarettes and Ritalin. But seriously, since my father was thin as a rail until he was 35 or so, I'm guessing it's mostly metabolism. Combine that with working out regularly and not eating a whole lot calorie-wise (I eat cheap, filling foods that aren't calorie-dense), and I find myself fitting into certain pants based on how heavy my most recent meal was.

Not in this tournament... because the Iti's aren't making it out of group

I'm currently 6'3" (or maybe 6'4", haven't gotten measured in a couple of years) and vary between 155 and 165. I have the other side of the coin - low blood pressure. Can't just hop right out of bed in the morning - I have to sit up for a minute or so first so that I don't pass out when I stand up.

It's OK, CGF, I always get LI and Queens confused too

I can't believe you two haven't realized this yet... You and 3rd are talking about two different things.

Attention DC Tom: any complaints you may have about this thread becoming a shitfest at any point may now be directed to Jauronimo.

The high school I attended (public) was about 70% white, 25% black, and 5% other. There were a lot more crime and behavior issues in my school than in my neighborhood, mostly with the black kids. But, with few exceptions, the black kids all came from poor families and a very poor section of my fairly large hometown. We had our share of racists in the school, who doesn't? But, mostly, the behavior issues at my school were summed up like this: "!@#$ing poor people." It all comes down to what you see as the impetus behind crime when crime and race and crime and socioeconomic situation are both relationships that are highly correlated. It could be that neither of them are causal, but if you had to pick one that was far less retarded, it would be crime and socioeconomic situation.

I don't know, the middle class neighborhood I grew up in was all white. The closest we got to "colored" were the Catholics down the street.

I wouldn't call it a response to him so much as a small response to Sam Harris, who is a guy I've come to respect a bit (although he can be a prick). And once this turns into a 20+ page debacle, you can come around and berate me about this. Until then, you have some penance to undergo

One thing I really like - about both Harris and the late Christopher Hitchens - is that they consistently denied moral relativism in their "new atheist" rants. Harris' recent attempts to popularize the idea that science can determine the most objective human morality possible is simply an outgrowth of that. Though I think his health analogy is a stretch, I've grown to like the use of "well-being" as a place to strive toward (it helps that I'm pretty much a utilitarian anyway). Defining "well-being" is another thing entirely; you can't just say it's the opposite of "suffering." Ultimately, I think that science will be able to tell us how to maximize "our neighbor's" well-being in relation to our own actions. On a larger scale, however, I'm not sure that the field of neuroscience would be able to help us. And yet Richard Swinburne asks normative questions about the Holocaust

Colin Kaepernick only throws one INT? I call shenanigans.

I blame those horny teachers.

Pro-tip for bachelors with means: maintain a second apartment just for the crazies, so you don't have to bring them back to your real one

My university has a central mail center, where every student has a private mailbox. Works for us. If we are expecting mail, we just go there. It's great, especially when you're not sure where you'll be living the next year and don't want to worry about changing your address on your subscriptions, applications, etc.
