  1. My contract is up next month and I can't stand ATT and can't wait to switch back to Verizon. I played around with the Thunderbolt a little today and it doesnt seem as intuitive as the Iphone. But I keep reading rave reviews. I appreciate your thoughts, thank you
  2. "[using a spectrometer to track the corn carbon] ...Dawson and his colleague Stefania Mambelli prepared an analysis showing roughly how much of the carbon in the various McDonald’s menu items came from corn, and plotted them on a graph. The sodas came out on top, not surprising since they consist of little else than corn sweetener, but virtually everything else we ate revealed a high proportion of corn, too. In order of diminishing corniness, this is how the laboratory measured our meal: soda (100% corn), milk shake (78%), salad dressing (65%), chicken nuggets (56%), cheeseburger (52%), and French fries (23%). What in the eyes of the omnivore looks like a meal of impressive variety turns out, when viewed through the eyes of the mass spectrometer, to be the meal of a far more specialized kind of eater. But then, this is what the industrial eater has become: corn’s koala. Michael Pollan"
  3. An Eaters Manifesto I just read 90% of sugar beets is genetically modified. It would be nice if that **** was labeled so we could make healthy choices without being subjected to being the guinea pig
  4. I hate it. Unless we trade down 4 times and are paid accordingly
  5. thank you for the brilliant response. What are your opinions of how Buffalo local Steve Kurtz has been treated by FBI? I am looking for return on investment. And I am not impressed with the past 75 years ROI
  6. Thank you for your response. Unabomber- turned in by his brother. FBI was clueless before the brother gave the feds the info Aldrich Ames- CIA traitor. This is supposed to be about CIA, FBI, and Homeland Security successes- not turncoats Robert Hannsen (one of thier own (FBI))- see above. 1993 WTC Bombing- um- how is this considered a success? Ramsey Yusef entered the US on a Iraqi passport and eluded the FBI for years. The only way he was apprehended was because he accidently set his Manilla apartment on fire- and the Filipinos seized his computer. If you consider the Filipinos serendipitiously crack the case years after the fact an FBI success, you grade on the curve USS Cole Bombing- again- how is this a success? The suicide bombers accomplished their goal and we had piss poor intelligence. John Gotti (LCN Cases)- ok- they have had some success with the Mob. But it took a rat to bring down Gotti. Joseph Pistone LCN Cases- see above, I am not that familiar with this case. Civil Rights Cases of the 1960's (Mississippi Burning). Ok, there is one. But what about Hoover harrassing MLK and trying to blackmail him to kill himself. FBI and civil rights is almost mutually exclusive Homeland security receives 50 times the budget of the FDA- and pursue such security issues as file sharing. Tell me the name Homeland Security is not straight from an Orwell novel. Our civil rights have been trampled and for what? Some other failures and blowbacks- Lockerbie Iran Guatemala Cuba Congo Brazil Indonesia Vietnam Laos Cambodia Greece Chile Afghanistan El Salvador Guatemala Nicaragua Iraq I wish we would quit meddling with other countries affairs and that we become the benevolent country we market ourselves as
  7. so much for free speech. I asked for FBI, CIA, and Homeland successes. If you don't like the question, then try and justify this waste of our tax dollars. I tell you what. Ask me for FBI, CIA, and Homeland failures and I will list plenty
  8. Monsanto is the devil
  9. blueberry hazel nut pringles?
  10. - Maybin just needs better coaching - Maybin just needs to put more effort into improving – he has all the talent just needs to put forth the effort :lol:
  11. Newton or Gabbert- neither- bigger needs and I am not sold on either Green or Jones=-green. much better hands and routes Miller or Quinn- I like both but prefer Miller because he might be best player in draft and he would shore up our weakest position Dareus or Fairley or Bowers=dareus, bowers, fairley in that order, Miller above them all Watt or Jordan- Watt Tyron Smith or Anthony Castonzo- Smith top LT 2nd round guys Houston or Wilson or Ayers- Wilson 4.41 speed at ILB Paea or Hayward- Hayward- can be a monster at times
  12. I hope Newton-Gabbert go 1-2 in the draft so we don't make the mistake of drafting them and we can focus on true needs- front 7, T, and TE
  13. 1-Von Miller 2-Martez Wilson 3-Lance Kendricks oops misread question. ^that is my prediction first 3 rounds 1-Von Miller 2-Bowers 3-Dareous
  14. Mine usually pick up the tab
  15. who is Johnny Jolly?
  16. I read that she was at a $100,000 a plate dinner in the hamptons. I also read that she rejected the cancer child's request twice. Two days of intense criticism- and she can't come up with a better excuse. She puts herself out there and tries to turn her name into a brand. If you are going to sell yourself out like that, you better hold up to a good standard. This is Kathy Lee Gifford despicable
  17. fat ugly heartless B word
  18. nor do you get compensation for a player that has no business being in the NFL
  19. no! police checkpoints are unconstitutional and something i would expect in Burma- not the US. And now some think an app that gives that public information should be illegal. None are more hopelessly enslaved then those that falsely believe they are free
  20. and globalization, fat pig CEO's, cheap world labor, NAFTA. and myopia had nothing to with Detroits death. It is all on UAW. Your arguments were so compelling, articulate, and thought provoking
  21. you are good at highjacking an interesting threat about Detroit. Detroit thread > Chef in another pissing match
  22. http://www.forgottendetroit.com/fsh/h-08.htm
  23. only in detroit
