  1. Its less a moral issue for me than one of irresponsibility. Euthanasia is something that should be more available as well.
  2. You are correct in saying that abortion should not be looked at as a last ditch birth control method. It should be something that is used very rarely. We should be teaching kids responsible sex ed and make birth control conveniently attainable...the morning after pill as well.
  3. Of course you meant a fetus. A BABY is one who has already been born. I realize such wording helps the picture that you are trying to paint but it is incorrect nonetheless.
  4. No, they LOVE to look out for themselves. Troops and other peoples money are irrelevant to their own interests.
  5. Yeah, you should check the rules. We're totally not allowed to google stuff here.
  6. Thats not the only thing that is special about today. Not sure about this boards rules for such things so just google March 14th, steak and ...
  7. Has it? Alex Jones can get a bit off the rails, but the video is here: http://www.infowars.com/must-see-new-video-did-michelle-fields-file-false-charges-against-trump-campaign-manager/ Alex Jones can get "a bit" off the rails? Thats like saying Trump can be a bit self-promoting. Good Good?
  8. Of course the population doesn't love it...but they never are the ones making the call are they? So.....you are saying the President LOVES to go to war. I don't know of one President that just loved to go to war. I know some that weren't scared to go to war. But, I don't know of any that just woke up in the morning saying...DAMN...I hope I can find someone to attack today. I am saying that there are many politicians that do love to go to war and probably profit pretty well by doing so. That is why the US gets to play world cop almost every opportunity to do so. Who? This is from 2008...hopefully you are not naive enough to think anything has changed. According to the latest reports, 151 members of Congress invested close to a quarter-billion in companies that received defense contracts of at least $5 million in 2006. These companies got more than $275.6 billion from the government in 2006, or $755 million per day, according to FedSpending.org, a website of the watchdog group OMBWatch. Congressmen gave themselves a loophole so they only have to report their assets in broad ranges. Thus, they can be off as much as 160 percent. (Try giving the IRS an estimate like that.) In 2004, the first full year after the present Iraq war began, Republican and Democratic lawmakers—both hawks and doves—invested between $74.9 million and $161.3 million in companies under contract with the DoD. In 2006 Democrats had at least $3.7 million invested in the defense sector alone, compared to the Republicans’ “only” $577,500. As the war raged on, so did the billions of profits—and personal investments by Congress members in war contractors, which increased 5 percent from 2004 to 2006. Investments in these contractors yielded Congress members between $15.8 million and $62 million in personal income from 2004 through 2006, through dividends, capital gains, royalties and interest. Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), who are two of Congress’s wealthiest members, were among the lawmakers who garnered the most income from war contractors between 2004 and 2006: Sensenbrenner got at least $3.2 million and Kerry reaped at least $2.6 million. Members of the Senate Foreign Relations and Armed Services committees which oversee the Iraq war had between $32 million and $44 million invested in companies with DoD contracts. War hawk Sen. Joe Lieberman (IConn.), chairman of the defense-related Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, had at least $51,000 invested in these companies in 2006. Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), who voted for Bush’s war, had stock in defense companies, such as Honeywell, Boeing and Raytheon, but sold the stock in May 2007. Of the 151 members whose investments are tied to the “defense” (war) industry, as far as we know, not one of them offered to donate their bloodstained profits to the national treasury to offset the terrible debt they have imposed. Has one of them even offered to donate one cent of their war profits to lessen the debt that increases more than $1 million a minute? When our boys and girls are wounded the government bills them to return their reenlistment bonus. They have to return any pay they received while they were hospitalized. They have to pay for their helmets and uniforms that are destroyed in the hell of war. But they keep on fighting for these politicians’ right to keep their war profits. • Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) $3,001,006 to $5,015,001 • Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) $250,001 to $500,000 • Rep. Kenny Ewell Marchant (R-Tex.) $162,074 to $162,074 • Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-N.Y.) $115,002 to $300,000 • Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.) $115,002 to $300,000 • Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.) $100,870 to $100,870 • Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.) $65,646 to $65,646 • Sen. Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.) $50,008 to $227,000 • Rep. Sam Farr (D-Calif.) $50,001 to $100,000 • Rep. Stephen Ira Cohen (D-Tenn.) $45,003 to $150,000 http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/151_congressmen_derive_financi.html

  12. Kevin Williams and McMullen are the starters from what I've read, not the twins. I didn't realize any starters have been named.Technically not since the game day depth chart is set after Fall Camp, but those 2 are the 1st stringers currently. Gotcha. I don't expect the Davis boys to start necessarily but I do think they will have a major impact.
  13. Mike Grant agrees with you. So does Zac Lee. Crazy works sometimes though. I want the best guy for the job to get it, bottom line. I would think we all would want that as well.

  15. Mike Grant agrees with you. So does Zac Lee. I don't think Grant was the starter the year before. And Armstrong has more than two seasons worth of starts, doubt there are many examples of multi-year starters being replaced at QB. Maybe not but I am not sure it would have mattered in Frazier's case. Sometimes a true freshman is the best QB on the team for the offense. I am not saying that its the case for the Huskers in 2016...but rather its a valid possible scenario. Also, two seasons worth of starts doesn't mean as much when the offense changes.
  16. Davis twins seem to have a little swagger for freshmen. I like it.

  19. Yep, and it only costs a bigger deficit and the lives of regular citizens. Rich politicians can live with that.
  20. And we know how much the US hates to go to war.
  21. Creating something from nothing is tough...especially in a top league. It not like he destroyed a dynasty like Solich did.
  22. What makes you think "I was high" would be a legitimate excuse as a defense if drugs were legal? I was drunk isn't one.
