What would finger pointing accomplish aside from wasting time while the economy crumbles. Thats one of the big problems with this country- people would rather place blame than come up with solutions....and that isn't directly aimed at you.

No, that makes everyone an idiot

I meant do you think the democrats intentionally put things in, just so they could concede them and look good in doing it?

Can Can?

Do you think they put things in that they knew they would cut- just to make it look like they were compromising?

I can agree with a lot of what you said, but I hardly see researching fatal diseases as wasteful- or ending smoking- I couldn't care less who that would bankrupt- if they profit from smoking, they can rot

Norv got to the playoffs with a washed up guy who was supposed to carry the offense and without his best defensive player- erase his time with those two failed franchises as head coach and what do you think then- 4-8 to the AFC title game. I wouldn't want him, but he takes too much abuse

I think the Bills would have been smart to ignore the sheeple that wanted him gone. They should have fixed the offensive and defensive lines. Sheeple don't know whats good for them, they need to be told whats good for them

The punishment should be for maliciously attempting to take someone's life- not murder or attempted murder- both should remain as charges, just in case one doesn't stick.

noh hee wuznt

Sanchez is VERY ovarrated

I'm not whining- if he gets in, he gets in. If he doesn't, thats no sweat off my back....its only football and football is only a game. The Superbowl is based on one season- maybe less. The Hall of Fame is body of work.

I am sure you guys know a heck of a lot more about planes than I do, but I am sure the pilot had to make a pretty quick decision. It took a lot of skill and a lot of luck

it was 32 degrees kelvin

So who would they take in that situation?

Warren Moon got in for his Superbowl performances, didn't he. Same for Archie Manning and Fran Tarkington. The superbowl is overrated.....face it. How did Derrick Thomas do in the Superbowl- he's a hall of famer too. Is Doug Williams or that RB from Washington who ran wild in the superbowl against the Broncos get it. The Superbowl is just another game- like it or not

If he dies immediately from what is done- if proven guilty, fine. That is a lot closer to justice than some of thos esuggestions I have seen.

What happened to wanting justice for crimes? Torture and rotting in jail is not justice, its revenge. AS time goes on, the human race becomes more and more uncivilized.

Didn't we have a pretty good rookie TE this past season?

The two plays I will always remember were his over the shoulder catch vs KC in the playoffs and his touchdown against New England, when he pinballed off at least 8 defenders

I think the glorification of the tournament final is overrated. Reed was one of the top performers ever and the bestthat ever was across from him was James Lofton- who despite his greatness, wasn't nearly as good. You want to talk big games? Check out what he did in the Houston playoff game. Look at what he did in the KC playoff games. He changed the way teams defended us and that is a hall of famer, IMHO. Who showed up in most of those superbowls anyways- aside from the first Superbowl, what did Bruce, Kelly and Thurman do in the Superbowl games? They are all legit hall of famers. As big as people want to believe the Superbowl is, it is just one game. Hall of Fame is based on body of work.

I said from what I understand he was a great president- I have been told that by quite a few people. For some reason or other, I probably know less about him than any other president. I do think the people who say he didn't do anything that other presidents didn't do are clueless- if you get caught, you get punished. I was very disappointed that Frost/Nixon wasn't shown anywhere in the area....I really wanted to see it.....oh well, maybe I'll check out the DVD I'll modify this response- wasn't he re-elected by one of the biggest margins ever? Sure, he probably wasn't perfect, but he had to do something right

If they did, then shame on them. No president that I can remember finished with no positives.....heck even Jimmy Carter did something good and he was terrible. The other Republican presidents I remember were George HW Bush and Ronald Reagan. They were much better IMHO. From what I understand, Nixon, despite his impeachment, was a great president. Abraham Lincoln, the founder of the party was arguably the greatest president in our history.

Last election or last bunch of elections. In all fairness, I won't ask if you think President Bush was the worst President in history- I will ask if you think he was the worst Republican President in history. I can think of a lot of good ones and I don't consider him to be one of them.

Excellent post, AD. But it really isn't unexplainable- first you go through a process of deindividualizing the enemy captives- humiliate them, take away their rights and make them all look and seem the same- it dulls them to what you do to them, decreasing resistance. Also, you dehumanize them- label them infidels, terrorists or something of that sort. Add in the fact that the troops fight with become like family- the fact that you lose so many becomes frustrating enough to push you to the breaking point- the above two psychological techniques make it very easy at that point for a good person to do terrible things. It however should never remove accountability. At some point, without even knowing it, you risk losing everything you have been fighting for and becoming everything that you thought you were fighting against....such a fine line. Quite a shame that although there have always been more villains than heroes, it seems more hopeless than ever from that standpoint
