It's become apparent that you don't understand how the United States Government works.

This is lost to most people. No one really understands how the Constitution was designed to work anymore. They don't realize that the Constitution largely spells out what the branches of government are permitted to do, and what it must do, but don't usually speak to how they must do it, outside of being told ways they cannot do it.

No. These aren't facts. These are bits of misrepresented data used to perpetrate a narrative. New York's "Stop and Frisk", for example, actually under-sampled blacks given criminal complaint and prosecution data.

You aren't stupid, so don't play stupid. It's a thread about politics.

Nearly all disparities are socio-economic, and blacks are more likely to be on the lower end of the economic strata in part because of past injustices and in part because of Federal level social engineering which was originally targeted at blacks and has had terrible intergenerational outcomes because of the realities of perverse incentive.

Not sure why the OP thinks it's OK to start political threads in the main board.

What purpose would that serve? Wouldn't it make more sense to have the architects of the two bills in question debate them,?

Incorrect. The spoken word is speech, but so are print, television ads, the internet etc. and each medium has a different cost associated. What your argument is saying is that we must restrict freedom to the lowest common denominator, and that's not freedom at all.

I know you don't like this truth, but you are in opposition to political freedom with this particular stance.

This hurricane may be the best thing that could have happened to Puerto Rico. It's infrastructure and debt issues might be addressed in the wake of the disaster.

Would you mind laying out Kimmell's exact charge v. the language used in the Bill proposed? I ask only because Kimmell, when he laid his original charges some months ago, either lied or didn't know that any child suffering from his child's affliction would have been treated for it exactly as his child was regardless of their parent's ability to pay; so I'm not willing to take him at face on the issue.

The Man Who Saved the World died?

What the hell

It's best to keep them locked up.

Interesting. I own guns. I'm with her on this. I would love to own a woman.

A different perspective: As a Bills fan who does not, and has never, lived in Buffalo or the surrounding area, $3/mo. is not worth it to support local Buffalo media. In a vacuum, the fee seems reasonable, it's only $3/mo. after all. But we aren't in a vacuum. This is a trend across the entire industry, and with so much "must read" content out there, most of it not even sports related, $3/mo. adds up quickly, and it becomes impossible to justify the purchase when you start talking about wanting to read content locked behind a paywall from upwards of 10 or more providers. If you get to just 20 providers with a $3/mo. paywall, all of a sudden you're looking at a $720 annual outlay. I certainly understand the desire/need to monetize readership directly, and have no problem with any business doing exactly this; but as an individual with no real desire to subsidize a small local shop that's not local to me, and without enough top end content to make "must read" with my personal preferences, the decision to go behind a paywall is a decision to lose me as a consumer. Sadly, in today's online environment, I'm not sure that media outlets really have any other choice, which is a shame.

"almost"... !@#$ you, man.

Your dad is a lady, and I am a gentleman. There will be no pics.

This is easily the worst I can remember seeing it. This is actually a thread right now. I don't think I'll be returning too the main board much unless/until moderation decides to do something about it.

I blame the OP for yesterday's result. He should have started this poll prior to the first pre-season game. How was McDermott supposed to know who to play without the poll?!?!?!?

No, I !@#$ed your !@#$ing dad while his boyfriend watched.

What do you mean? Tyrod didn't throw it anywhere near the tub.

There has to be a good human trafficking joke in here somewhere.

So you're Ferberizing?

Perhaps it's time to resurrect the old PPP game day thread.
