Humans are humans. Humans the world over do the same things, regardless of culture, technology or security. They fight, they succumb to greed, they kill, they hurt each other. This is true in the most advanced and the most stagnant societies. The removal of religion isn't going to stop these things from happening, especially when the whole point of most every major and minor world religion is peace, love, etc. Humans take these religions whose spokespersons (Buddha, Mohammad, Jesus, etc) advocate loving thy fellow man and turn them into tools for violence and hatred, the exact opposite of what they're intended for. Remove religion and people will take Winnie the Pooh and use him in the same way. Why? Because they're human, and they're looking for reasons to act on the human impulses they already have. You're saying that if we remove hammers from the world then people will no longer pound nails. I'm saying in lieu of hammers we'll use the flat sides of wrenches. Regardless, those nails will still get pounded.

I'm all ears. I'm with you so far. You're removing humans from the world? OK... Err.... no, that's not my position. My position is that humans cause harm to humans. Removing humans would eliminate harm, sure, but it would pretty much end the argument. Agreed, it is preposterous, because you're misrepresenting my stance. Nobody is going to argue that if you remove humans than harms caused by humans will go away. But nobody is advocating removing humans. Except maybe Marvin the Martian, and frankly, my money's on Bugs. Nah. The above is what you get when you don't understand knapplc's reasoning. Hopefully this helps.

Is this still the rule of thumb or is this a quaint throwback to the days of real journalism? I don't see two credible sources on a LOT of articles these days, and depending on the article, the article host, the journalist and/or the topic, often there are zero sources cited. If we're talking about the quaint old days of journalism, the journalist should have the courtesy not to bother the parents while their child is on the operating table, but I don't think we're there anymore. I don't think we're talking about the good ol' days.

Yep, overall, this plain sucks.

Maybe we could narrow it down if you told us what football (soccer) team you support. That would tell us what kind of fan base you're interested in, and what character of team appeals to you.

Eric Martin will emerge as a starter before the season is half over.

Here's to hoping this happens. It should - we have good players and good coaches and a desire to improve - you just never know what a team's going to be like year to year.

The media sells information, and the fresher the information the better it sells.

The only jersey I have is Suh's. Of course, that's the only one big enough to fit me, but whatever.

Because he's been arrested several times. He has to be unusually stupid or plain incorrigible to see that he has a future in football, a free ride at school, a possible NFL career, and yet still be dumb enough to burgle a frat house. This is not the kind of kid who's just looking for another chance, this is a guy who's had chance after chance after chance after chance, and he's screwed them up every time. It's hard not to label a guy like that. He's had many other run-ins with the coaches at Oregon than just some arrests. He really, really burned his bridges there.

He really is pretty talented.

I'm no mathematician so I won't be embarrassed when someone points out what I'm missing, but how can these numbers add up? Category Pct. of 2009 Total Rushing Yards...............100% Passing Yards...............100% Receiving Yards.............86% Total Offense Yards.......100% If we only return 86% of our receiving yards, how can we return 100% of our total offensive yards? Just a weird thing I noticed. That said, I think we're poised to be better on offense, but to beat that dead horse, nothing improves until the line improves/gets healthy. If the line has the same sputtering play as last year none of the above numbers mean anything.

What does this guy's race have anything to do with his article? And why are you using extreme right-wing labels like "race baiting bomb thrower?" Who talks like that?

Sip writes much the same article that Shatel wrote - the fans are crazy for news, it's the information age, and for Bo to believe he can completely control access to his team is unrealistic so Bo should embrace the times in which we live and make the best of it.

How can we miss you if you won't go away?

are we the turtle? I don't know about you, but I am the walrus. goo goo g'joob.

Kind of like how they wanted to investigate what went wrong on the BP oil rig? From what I recall, it wasn't only Congresspersons from districts bordering the Gulf who were calling for investigations. It's all part of the political game. Not much to see here.

Yeah, this royally sucks. Blue is a guy you just want to see succeed, especially after showing such promise early on, then getting injured. Another injury now... yuck. Just crummy.

Heck, I pass the bar all the time. It's when I stop in for a drink or 40 that I have problems.

There doesn't have to be rock-solid evidence supporting the allegation to create a problem for the board. All there has to be is enough evidence to get it in front of a judge, and then it starts costing us money in legal fees. The more money the board spends in legal fees, the less likely it is that the board stays up.

Technically your first pic was a double facepalm as well, since Picard had two hands on his face. But that's just a technicality.

For the record, none of the Mods are happy when threads are locked.

So the answer is no, you don't see how that works. Gotcha.

For the record, I'm a big Zac Lee supporter. I felt the same way about Ganzy and the Option. We don't have the personnel to run it correctly, so let's stick to the zone read and the rest of the Shawn Watson Multiplicity Offense of Wonder and Delight.

So until then, that was a comment. See how that works?
