DC Tom

I'm not even sure what his reply was supposed to mean. I was whining about him being wrong?

Which thread was it? Did I mock him in it? I actually feel bad for the boy. He's so out of his league when he posts here. I'm sure he thinks he belongs here, just for the purpose of educating us to his level of enlightened benevolence.

They're not. US is 7th by number, 90th by rate per 100k population. And at a casual glance, any list of cities with high murder rates that includes DC but not Baltimore is nonsense.

The Miami-Indy game just went surreal. The last six plays of the half: Ridiculous TD catch, Miami. Kickoff. Interception thrown by Indy. Fumble by Miami. Interception thrown by Indy. Miami kneels down, because ***** that *****.

Holy *****, that is stupid. She thinks the economics of organ transplants are driven by a scarcity of dollars? It's not like they have donated hearts sitting on a shelf somewhere, waiting for patients...

They'll play just fine when they're reported as asylum-seekers running from ICE gunfire.

So does anyone know what the Bills' record is when Walt Coleman is officiating? I just assume, whenever I see Coleman's calling the game, that the Bills are getting screwed.

And there we go. The dumbest thing I'll see all day...

And John Elway was just a failed baseball player.

How much more likely?

That Olympic success is inheritable.

How many people at this point trust any investigation to not be a political hatchet job?

"First black president, put the US on track to universal health care, and would have achieved it sooner if not for those evil Republinazis." Because guess who gets to write history...

Counterpoint: he hasn't checked out, he's just that bad. I don't care which theory's right, just bench him.

Your parents are idiots.

Depends on how you mean. "Bloodlines" is usually taken to mean "inherited traits," and there is likely some of that involved However, preparation and training are far more important, and the kids of NFL players grow up immersed to some degree in the culture of the game, and have greater exposure to and opportunities to train with better coaches, trainers, and programs if they so choose, simply through the contacts their fathers develop in the NFL. That's the far greater impact of "bloodlines." There's also a measure of confirmation bias at work, too: how many children of former NFL players fail to make it in college or the pros? You'll never see that story written...

No one ever cared this much about Daniel Pearl, did they?

And how? What, are they going to subpoena the governments of Turkey and Saudi Arabia?

We're rapidly entering claw the iguana time.

So...what, the United ***** College Fund is now profanity? How about the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People? They haven't censored the word "niggardly" yet, have they?

You're an idiot. In fact, you're more than an idiot. You're two idiots. Or a half-gugny.

It took three days for anyone to get the joke? You people are oblivious.

Yes...BUT, Democrats have invested so much into "the sanctity of the vote," that what do they consider that limit? Because it seems very fungible.

They vote Democrat. Duh. Read Thucydides.

So there's a minimum acceptable amount of tampering allowed before "the sanctity of the vote" is violated? How much tampering is the limit? Does that include Republican gerrymandering?
