Patriots are really overrated they have wasted about 7 years of Brady's prime by refusing to get him legit offensive weapons. If they had just drafted or signed a legit #1 WR and RB (they have plenty of cap room every year) they'd have one at least 1 more Super Bowl - probably 2 or even 3 more. Kraft is a secret cheapskate who never gets called out on it. Plus the play in the worst division in the history over the NFL over the past 12 years. Only the Jets have mounted somewhat of a challenge between 2006-2010, but the Dolphins and Bills have been consistently bad.
If the pats are "overrated", give me overrated every year. Worst division over the last twelve years but also the most consistent franchise going.

Ok. Now list all the deductions people could take. NOBODY paid those percentages. Hell, they paid more when Reagan lowered taxes but eliminated numerous deductions. Hell before you could write off food, clothing, home, interest of any kind and all kinds of other shite. Reagan pulled a bait and switch on us.
Being completely serious, I've never heard this take before. I had assumed his tax policies were a reason for Conservative idolatry.
I'd also be curious if you had a link to doctor's salaries coming under fire? Seems the last thing you would want to take issue with.

You are quite mistaken. We would love to see the black communities rise up and be productive. You think we enjoy supporting them? Hell no. We want them to be self sufficient contributing members of society. It's the liberals that fear this because they'd lose their democratic plantation. I don't see anyone hating on productive educated black people.
Sorry, should have been more clear. I think the right wing talking heads start with the idea of cutting welfare. Their comments on black culture are part of a strategy to rally people to their cause. I think that's also why black folks have a general distrust of the GOP. The track record doesn't exhibit a true intent to help the black community.
I'm not claiming that people are "racist" (the word is way overused). Disingenuous maybe.

Mr. Limbaugh isn't trying to better the black community, he's actually rallying his troops to work against their interest.
Intent actually counts for something and that was at the heart of Kamau Bell's retort. If black "culture" is the problem with black "poverty" , as many of ya'll claim, then it's really a black problem and the white people peanut gallery isn"t really helping.

Another thing about capitalism...you can CHOOSE not to do business w/ those companies (in the sense that you don't have to buy their products off the shelves. We are forced to do business w/ them through govt guarantees and subsidies). Other companies supply foods which don't have those chemicals, right?
Other companies do supply those foods. Unfortunately, doing things the right way isn't nearly as efficient as manufacturing a "perfect" tomato. My point is that working to achieve maximum profit doesn't mean you're working for the greater good. Typically, it's profit for profit's sake.

Just my opinion, but i think we"re splitting hairs here. The anti-regulation folks can"t write off every negative as an unintended consequence of government meddling while taking credit for the virtues of a system that doesn't exist.

When you eat, did that food get there because some farmer and truck driver cared about you or because they cared about profits?
Yeah, cause people didn't eat before capitalism. And btw, your farmer is now a rather large corporation pumping your nutritionally lacking super-vegetables with copious amounts of chemicals. You're right, they most certainly care about profits.

Yeah, great idea. And then we can make said company promise that they won't take the billion and run. If you still believe in the goodwill of American corporations at this stage of the game then jaded isn't in your nature.

re: Wut?!! The globe has actually been cooling the last decade?
Posted by Creoleshmuck on 2/9/14 at 7:54 pm to Ton Chou
I'm pretty sure that none of you read this article or maybe you didn't understand it. Basically, the cooling is an anomaly.
For extra credit, what was the last line of the article?
Bueller, bueller?
My thought here, and this is mostly for tuba's sake, is that we turn the tables on the bully pulpit.
They continue to insist that you justify yourself without having to explain themselves. So what we need is for the major tenets of AGW to be spelled out and then they can find proof that they're misguided.
This is a theory after all and by nature is subject to reform. We have such brilliance on display, I figure they can help me sleep better tonight knowing that all is OK in the world.
Cheers

Nice to see the NY Times doubling down on global warming The 'answer' for the man-made AGW believers is SYSTEMATIC CONTROL of man's actions. Herding cats, essentially. And control in ways that will necessarily affect ECONOMIC GROWTH to a far greater degree than it will the Earth's temperature. It'll take a hundred years of systematic action to reverse any temp rise trend, even if it could. But a radical slow down/virtual crash of a highly dependent World Economy...could happen almost overnight. Such an economic collapse would result in a calamitous disruption of the delivery system of basic goods and services, resulting in God only know what manner of societal desperation, anarchy and political upheaval. And it won't take a hundred years...more like the time it takes for a human to die of drinking bad water. Of course, when the population die off happens, then the whole man-made AGW issue...becomes MOOT. Problem solved. So, what are the ODDS of economic collapse? A hell of a lot higher if the AGW policies/mechanisms are employed. Does anyone see a 'black helicopter' scenario in this theory? Reduction of population...by doing the 'right' thing...both Progressive wet dreams. Strap in. It won't be Earth's temperature that kicks our arse. Unless it's from a n-bomb exchange.
........and they accuse liberals of doomsday thinking. That sounds like one of my 500 word essays I wrote in high school about why I should not be late for class.
Mr. Tuba man, I don't know why you bother. There's little in the way of cogent reasoning here. The fine art of , "if you're so smart then you tell me" because I have no fricking idea. You have the patience of Job, my man! Good luck........
re: Chromosome Study: All Men Can Be Traced to One Man
Posted by Creoleshmuck on 2/9/14 at 6:56 pm to Fun Bunch
I was just going to explain that gravity is the force that holds space-time together. The Big Bang actually wasn't the beginning. The universe is a cycle of expanding until collapsing in upon itself and therefor creating a Big Bang.
As for matter, the new theory is that normally matter and anti-matter cancel each other out but we seem to have an excess of matter without an anti-matter to counteract. Essentially, what we call matter is the remainder of that imbalance.
In the end, there are many questions yet to be answered and in that we find the idea of god. Of course, when there were many more unanswered questions then myth and mythology played a more dominant role. As science begins to answer question, mythology becomes extraneous.
This is the age of science where all questions will seemingly, one day, be answered. The crux of this thread seemed to be "how does something come from nothing" and that, in the end, would be the justification for god. However, religion may be playing with borrowed money.
If this was already covered then my apologies.

If there were some sort of medical procedure that could be done to change a person's race I have no doubt that some in the medical community would establish evidence that being trans-race was a real affliction and insurance companies and even the taxpayer would be forced to pay for race change operations if the person were in prison and race-confused.
People changing their race has already been done. Light skinned black folk use to straighten their hair and lighten their skin as an attempt to "pass" as white.
Race in America is becoming increasingly more abstract. All that really matters is if you're white or not. Obama is just as white as he is black and yet he's called black. Being raised by white folk, you could make the argument he's "more" white. Then thing about race is it's how the world perceives you where-as these gender issues seem to be about how people view themselves.
