  1. Republicans are doing their best to make sure women don't vote for their candidate - whoever that turns out to be - this election year. The latest: That silence is soon to become deafening. Women want to know that they're going to continue to have rights under the next president. With Republicans making headlines like this across the country, and with the current Republican front-runner declaring contraception "harmful to women" in 2006, I don't see this earning the GOP many votes. I also don't think these guys are going to get away with not answering this question, as much attention as it's gotten. I'm guessing every reporter they run across is going to stick a mic in their face and ask this question again until each guy gives an answer.
  2. We play a weird defense. I'll have to go back and concentrate on who's taking what responsibilities, but Carl said before the Washington game that we don't play a two-gap. His quote was: LINK I can see where Carl is coming from, but I think the result of our scheming is that things have just gotten muddled, and it kills the aggressive nature of our D Line. Several times in non-con games I saw a D Lineman bust through, make contact with the ball-carrier, then whiff on the tackle. It's almost as if they have so much on their minds they forget to just attack the ball.
  3. I was making a point about the hypocracy of our media and the mostly brain dead masses that get their news spoon-fed by it. The false translation of Ahmadinejad's words by the media is often parroted even by people on Husker message boards. So he created a page and gave access to others to post in his name. It is logical to assume that those posting on his page are doing so with his approval, and he has authorized them to do so. If someone created the false name or hacked the account, they should be punished by law. If Netanyahu authorized someone to post in his name, then he bears responsibility for what was posted. If it was a comment under his post, then can you cite that, and I will retract my statement. Thank you. Do you grasp how Facebook works? This is silly. I posted a screen capture of the comments, for goodness' sake! I'll try to make this as simple as possible: You started this thread. If someone posts hate speech here, are YOU responsible? Of course not, the idiot who wrote it would be responsible. This is simple common sense. There's no "hypocrisy" of "our media" because this had nothing to do with Netanyahu. It had everything to do with the source you cited misrepresenting what happened. It's silly that you think you're showing "our media's" hypocrisy when you're actually showing the opposite. Just.... wow.
  4. I've been rewatching some 2011 games over the last couple of weeks, and frankly, our DL scheme sucks. We all know about the "contain" concept that Bo has in place, but from what I've seen this is a detriment, not a positive, to the overall effectiveness of the D. Without pressure on the QB, in passing downs the contain theory just creates time for the QB to find a receiver. Several times I've watched Ankrah beat his man, only to "stay home" in contain rather than push the advantage to the QB. Eric Martin was rarely set loose to wreak havoc - his forte. I have some hopes that the point of bringing in Rick Kaczenski will change this philosophy. We'll see.
  5. Nuke school, as in, he'll be on a boomer?
  6. Imagine a guy holding a sign like that for a female athlete. It's weird how, in an "equal" world, stuff like this still happens.
  7. Osborne made no such ultimatum. Where do people come up with things like this?
  8. I suppose you could just go to Fars and read the original if you don't like Yahoo's version of the Blaze article. Same gist.
  9. I've given fair warning that posts like this belong in the Shed. I will not warn any longer.
  10. You are correct. But the funny thing is, this debate has occupied mankind for the last four or five millennia. Weird. ADDENDUM TO MY EARLIER POST - I meant to say the opposite is true of car keys. So much funnier that way.
  11. A hit! A palpable hit! Touché!
  12. Here's a screen grab of the page. Feel free to translate the Hebrew if you like, but Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't the one who posted "death to all arabs."
  13. Sub, are you intentionally posting stuff to get a rise out of people? Benjamin Netanyahu didn't post "death to all arabs" on his Facebook page. There was a bus accident in Israel, people were killed, and Netanyahu (or a crony) posted a message of condolence. UNDER that message, in the comments sections, someone else posted "death to all arabs." It was removed by Netanyahu (or a crony). This took all of ten seconds to google and find out. How many boys crying wolf do we need in this forum?
  14. Good luck to him! Hope it's the time of his life.
  15. I don't agree that Mitt Romney represents "the people." I think Romney represents a very small portion of the population.
  16. Fine, I edited out your quote. Too late. The damage to my reputation is already irreparable. Seppuku at dawn is the only way to save honor now.
  17. I don't think that's the official Wisconsin flag, is it? I don't think the real flag has 1848 on it. EDIT - this is why you google before you post. That is the official flag. Oops.
  18. I agree with you, and I go to every Spring Game for the fun of it, but that's the impression I get for why attendance goes up or down.
  19. NUance, I think I fixed your pic in the OP. Had some funky extra HTTP code in it.
  20. I'm exactly half a year older than you. Happy Birthday!
  21. It depends on whether or not you think it's a person. If it's a person, abortion is murder. If you don't think it's a person, abortion is a medical procedure not much different than an appendectomy.
  22. Why do people give things up for Lent? What does it do?
  23. You talked of "proof". As have about a dozen other posts in this thread. It's just weird that you stuck that in there, and quoted me as if it was relevant to my post.
