How would you deal with it in a restaurant? Do you cater an event to a candidate you don't like? It would probably depend, but I wonder what you think. Neil Young is his own guy, but his influence is big on kids of hippies, and those kids are starting to have kids of their own. I'm working on the theory that we all get influenced by our parents at some point, (or the parents of our friends).

As good as advertised: I'm going to start deferring to you too. Personally, I don't think it's wise to call climate change human caused. A lot of the reactions that we are experiencing, like the melting of perma-frost in Siberia, etc, and release of methane are catalyzed by humans but not caused by humans. We're just a part of the reaction, not the sole cause, is how I read it. If we can provide strong incentives for energy companies to provide clean energy without demonizing the history that we all helped to create, of fossil fuel dependency, then we can move on in the quickest, most effective, and painless way imaginable. There doesn't need to be a massive purge of the existing energy providers to move forward, is what I'm saying,

One Man's Take On Cops And Brutality
Who is Yuri? replied to Dante's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Michael Brown comes to mind. Stole some cigarillos, pushed the clerk out of the way, and walked down the middle of the street. It could be a height and weight thing, to police, more than it's a race thing. I doubt that a big-ass skinhead gets favorable treatment if he behaves in the exact same manner as Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. I like this video. I don't know if I like the dude making it. He's not Nelson Mandela, but neither is Michael Brown. -

Global warming err Climate change HOAX
Who is Yuri? replied to Very wide right's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
As much as I respect your opinion, kind man, this is a discussion about chemistry, biology, and earth science. A house built upon the sand will not stand. You'll have to dial it down a grade or few to effectively answer the basic questions that are being posed with carbon dioxide and methane being released into the atmosphere at the current rate. -
Word on the street is that you're the hombre to talk to about these oil spills. It's funny how nobody makes a stink about massive NG leaks. I'd imagine you have a thing or two to say about climate change. On that second point, do you see the oil companies re-branding as "energy providers?" Is there any impetus to move towards clean energy within the industry, or would that sort of change take government intervention in the current market? Your expertise, as it was advertised, is duly noted.

I agree that the rank and file Democrats are so invested in what looks good for themselves (head up their own asses) to have a clue about what's really happening in the lives of Ordinary (in the best sense of the word, think Bills fans) Americans. It's an alternate reality that many of the Dem. pundits, Hollywood Libs., and mega-rich activists are living in. I'm going to listen to some Neil Young, man. "Ordinary People" I hear Bernie's been rockin' the Neil at his rally's, ever since Neil came out for Bernie and denounced Trump.

I liken it to the war on poverty. Spokesmen get all fired up woth roghteous anger only to ensure the payroll expands in their bloated ineffective and redundant anti-povery agencies. The folks who get the most Twitter and Media-outraged at income inequality or political incorrectness or a host of other issues are really self-serving attention seekers. I think there's some truth to that.

The term "political correctness" bothers me. It reminds me of Soviet dictates. If individuals are being systematically destroyed for not following the parties line of thinking, that's a problem to me, mostly if the line is being set and enforced by a dominant political party. That said, a person shouldn't expect to be applauded for everything that he or she says.

EJ deserves time on the field with first team offense.
Who is Yuri? replied to gsurdam's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This has probably already been said, but I too think that EJ could use some time with the starters in Game 4 of preseason, so that there's no chance of Taylor getting injured before Week 1. If EJ plays lights out, and suddenly shows everybody how great he is, that's wonderful. -
Tyrod Taylor Confidence Meter
Who is Yuri? replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Tyrod's got the goods and will deliver. I'm 65% confident, and that's coming from a Bills fan. I've been burned before. This guy's the one. We're going to have a long future together. I'm 65% certain. -
I don't think Warren would commit to a ticket so early. Who will Trump tap? Donald Jr.? Ivanka? Surely not Palin.

How many people here are FOR FREE, giving their input, criticisms, and advice? Raise your hands. How many post from work? Let's see the hands. (quite a few, quite a few) And how many are disability, unemployment, or Social Security? Raise em up. (not bad, not bad) Thank you very much. I just want to find out the sources that are subsidizing these posts. For the record, I only post on my free time, and I support Bernie Sanders 100% If you can't follow my logic, than maybe you should have had the benefit of a free University education. The times they are a changin'. For the better. Excelsior!
