  1. Ha! Last night I won 1 bet...It was brutal. I think I was 1/6. I usually just do 5-10 dollar bets but still.
  2. Ha...this is so true! Like, if Jimmy Carter or the ghost Bush endorse someone there is no way I am thinking "Wow, they really changed my mind"
  3. Maybe it is just me...but growing up when I did and hearing non-stop about nukes and how nukes would be used and this and that...I just don't think they will be used. Also, in Rocky 10 will be be fighting a Iranian, a Russian or Chinese guy...or maybe a combo?
  4. I think it is a fair question... I don't think he would leave but I could see him just coaching until he is 50 and then retiring and enjoying his life.
  5. That is a great point. Ultimately it might be the most important point.
  6. Man...one of the replies is about Ben Wallace and what a great NBA player he was! Haha
  7. What will Iran be and look like one year from today?
  8. Haha! No kidding! Iowa is playing way better than I thought they would...I think every time they are about to can Fran...he has a good season.
  9. That is actually a pretty decent video.
  10. No kidding...I think there should be criminal charges for something like this.
  11. No kidding, this is really not all that difficult.
  12. He literally painted himself into a corner by saying mental illness has nothing to do with it, while everyone else is saying that it is not normal to go kill people. Then he tried using an example of saying listening to Pantera is just as good of a reason as to why people kill...little did he know that he finished the paint job when it was pointed out that their lead singer was literally shot and killed while performing on stage by...wait for it...a mentally ill person. Facts have been provided but not the facts that he would like to see. You probably have a gun, a lot of our posters have guns, yet, they don't go kill anyone, why is that? I mean, you have access to guns, why aren't you killing people. Then he says American's have a fetish for guns...another corner...fetishes are known as a disorder, a mental one...a strong attachment to sexual arousal (even with an inanimate) object. (I have some, don't get me wrong, wink) You think there are people that treat their guns better than they treat their friends or family and hold them, caress them, clean them non stop and dream about the damage that they can do with them? Yep! Nuts! Everyone has already said stricter gun laws are fine, I ever said to get rid of all of them, fine with me!
  13. Yeah but this is just who gets the nomination...and hopefully I get my 39 dollars!
  14. I will keep these updated as they change. Biden +165 (This is getting closer to even money) Sanders +260 (Big move as well) Warren +520 (Big drop, now a big long shot) I personally already put money on Biden at +190.
  15. Iowa just lost a dude, but Garza (so annoying) is an AA this year...he will go for 25/15. I just don't think that NU can keep it within 8...lay the points and take your 74-62 finish to the bank.
  16. All Pantera fans might be though...their tunes get me pretty riled up! Ironic because I do think their lead singer (maybe gutarist) was shot and killed while playing a gig...wait...he was...by some dude with the last name of Gale Bender said Gale told him he’d left the Marines due to mental problems, was taking medication and may have been bipolar. “Nathan was infatuated with guitarists,” said Bender. “One of our tattoo artists plays guitar, and Nathan started trying to hang out with him.”
  17. I do find it odd that some would argue there is not a need for mental health background checks...since there is evidence to show that crazy people don't shoot people.
  18. I have no clue what the background check is like...but I can tell you this. I have a very good friend who has been in a loony-bin twice and was put on disability for being crazy (no, I am not going to give you the court case number so that you can look it up, wink) and he, in the last 2 years, has gone out and bought 5 guns. M-15 (I think that was the name?) Beretta Shotgun and two other guns that I don't remember the names of...he visits a shrink once a week and takes meds for his crazy...and has had no problem getting guns...we joke about it all the time actually! He is also a raging drunk...so he has the two things needed for gun violence...crazy and booze. He also has he CC permit.
  19. So you admit it! Why did it take this long? That is all we are saying... We (or I) have not been talking about a solution, I have already said I don't care if they take away every single gun in the world. Fine with me! But why did it take you so long to admit that people who use guns to kill people have issues? Also, I love that you looked up the research yourself and didn't find what you wanted so you went with that quote. Of course multiple factors contribute to violent behavior, we have all been saying that, you were the only one saying it was just guns. Multiple factors contribute to speeding tickets too.
