Like my black hero Walter E. Williams says, whites put up with crap like this from the black community and thugs that we would never put up with from other whites. No white wants to be labeled a racist so we flee communities and towns we grew up in, towns we built to avoid being a. Shot in the fac...

I had a Belkin armband with my iPhone 4 and the sweat from runs eventually killed the phone. My suggestion is that if you value your phone but REALLY want to track your runs, buy a Garmin GPS watch or like me, a notepad where I write my runs down.
Novel idea I know but my iPhone stays dry and ac...

So you wanted it more hoppy, less hoppy? More pine? I'm interested in what was not impressive about an IPA.

I get you.....the movie was very well done and its a very compelling story to tell. Probably a hundred ways or perspectives it could been told from and this one was mainly Maya's. I enjoyed the CIA-based angle, didn't necessairily find it slow and I appreciate what they were shooting for.

Her writing her waiting days on the window had to be false. She would have known all that was going on the entire time. But in order for the movie to fit the narrative for Maya they had to make it seem like no one was doing anything except her. I get that but rather than that I would have rather ...

I believe they wanted the topic and content to be Oscar worthy but it basically showed how enhanced interrogation worked, despite some people's b...
