The favorite move of many on this board (not just you), "the question is crap so I ignore." Most of the time these same people push for direct answers to their own "crap" questions. You refuse to comment on what, if any, thoughts you have about fixing the problem. Instead, lets talk about Obama. Fair enough but lets not pretend that isn't what is going on.

I would say his question is valid and you didn't answer it. It is a cliche but maybe it just has to get even worse before it gets better. The region may very well need complete and utter chaos...full scale total war across most Muslim countries. I mean, I don't know what to say other than a youtube video isn't going to change my mind. It's terrible, but it's almost like this area of the world has a drug problem and US involvement is a week long detox where you go back and hang out with the same friends afterwords. If Jordan goes and literally lays complete and utter waste to that **** hole of a city Ar-Raqqa or whatever its called...I say good. Literally level the place and kill every man, women and child that is there. And it was Jordan who did it, not us.

The Pats are who we thought they were, and Seattle let them off the hook! Now, it's on US! US! Do this Rex. Do it.

Allah does not condone cheating. Killing infidels is spiritual.

They Jets realized Doug thinks he's a God, treats people like garbage, rolls people under buses with regularity, and tries to control everything and everyone. He does this while producing sub-.500 records.

If we got Julius Thomas and Revis this offseason then hell would freeze over and we would win the superbowl next year.

Only if Kasich leads the ticket. That dude would be a great candidate in a general election.

First I would say that if the job has access to any sensitive information (ssn/pii/account info) at all, it's fine if restricted to crimes of disohnesty. Period. I would also recommend credit checks for anyone exposed to sensitive info, anything like that. For anyone. And that is a sound opinion and based in reality. There is a real problem with that stuff. If it definitely has no access to sensitive info and is truly a blanket "no criminal convictions" that is ridiculous. If someone has a mild DUI and is substantially the same as the guy without one...choose to take the guy without one this "qualification" is unnecessary.

It's good news for the GOP Mitt isn't running. Sad thing is Jeb will almost certainly get the nod and will be substantially similar although a bit better. It'll be Jeb in a coin flip with Hillary depending on how the next 2 years go and how the campaigns are run. Given the next 2 years are likely to be Obama's best and the Clinton machine is superior to the Bush machine at this point...odds are high we all know who is president after Obama. If the GOP could somehow run one of the younger or more exciting/non-Washington candidates they could potentially change the dynamic. Sad truth is, having a vastly superior political bench won't mean a thing when it's Bush v. Clinton. Bush would probably be a good president though.

These ratings suck. Several of our good players are elite...several of our average players are absolutely terrible...almost all of our bad players are better than at least one person at their spot on the average list.

They are the cause of our disinflation?

Look if Rex makes 2 AFC championships and then flames out that's an unbelievable success for us. Remember who you are talking to. We get it, Rex wasn't wildly successful overall hence why he was fired and took a job with Buffalo. If he makes the playoffs he's our hero. Plain and simple.

DC Tom asking questions? As though he would ever give you a straight-forward/real answer or opinion on a specific matter?

Right now? Fitz, easily. I still think there's a possibility Fitz plays another season for us...the way things are going for both parties.

Didn't they just raise the limit for a positive test basically to ensure Gordon could pass them?

Why do I need to have lower expectations, less things and spend less money? I need to save, I understand that. Other than that, I don't even get what he is saying (some of the links are broken)

This is not new. If anything, now that Repubs have Congress...they're in a more mutually dependent relationship with Obama than they have ever been. Likely they'll be more functional than ever this term (at least this year anyway).

You sound like Obama. No wonder you keep most posts short.

Nobody will take the fall and the investigation will find nothing. There will be fines b/c the ball are deflated.

How about you give your straight-forward opinion for a change. Modify the question if need to in order to give an honest opinion...that's fine. It won't kill you.

http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/306280/j-manziel-committed-to-nightlife-as-rookie Citing nearly 20 Browns sources, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Pat McManamon report Johnny Manziel exhibited a "year-long pattern" of lacking commitment and preparation to football and a "continued commitment to nightlife" during his rookie year. One player called Manziel a "100 percent joke." Team security reportedly found Manziel "drunk off his a--" the morning before the Browns' season finale. He was fined for missing a treatment for his injured hamstring and spent the Week 17 loss to Baltimore in Cleveland's locker room. During his first NFL start, "Several sources said Manziel either didn't know the plays in the huddle or didn't call them correctly." Sources also told Fowler and McManamon that since-departed OC Kyle Shanahan preferred Jimmy Garoppolo and Tom Savage to Manziel as a 2014 draft prospect. Fowler and McManamon claim Manziel still has some "support in the (Browns') building," though it's mostly "on the business side." Source: ESPN.com Jan 23 - 3:15 PM

Would you raise the gas tax some moderate amount if you could? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rFJay9t_Uc#t=104

Look it's pretty simple...whether the gov't already has enough money for its needs is subjective. It just is. So we have a gov't of people elected to figure it out by debating and voting. There will never be consensus and there will always be a bunch of stuff people think we shouldn't be doing. With that said, the position that new taxes are off limits until one group no longer feels like anything the gov't does is an over-reach or mismanged...it's just not workable in our system. We can't function like that.

Haha what? What exactly does this report look like, what is "highly detailed" to you.

More detail about the national dialogue. I mean, I have no idea what a national dialogue of the detailed results of a financial audit would be. You turn on cspan or cable news and watch a constitutional convention where modern day politicians discuss a detailed gov't wide financial audit? I mean I doubt what that would end up producing would be something you approve of.
