  1. Taxes are at their lowest they've been in 60 years. Corporations are sitting on 2$ trillion and hiring is minimal. Yeah, lowering taxes is surely the solution...
  2. No doubt. Had friends who have attended USA/Mexico in both the US and Mexico City. They stated they were treated better in Azteca than here in the states. I'm pro multi-cultural/melting pot/anti-closed borders, but it upsets me when we're terribly outnumbered in our own country. Being nationalistic is a little silly anyways, as you have no control over what you were born, whether its Mexican/American/White/Black. But you can choose where and who you are, and it irks me that so many immigrants who come to the US for better lives have such a disrespect when it comes to this sort of thing.
  3. I'd really like a Leaf but my commute is too high right now. I'm about 75 miles roundtrip every day. That's fine when the weather is 72, but if its 32 or 102 it'll push the battery to the limits. As soon as they get electric cars with a 200 mile battery range I'm game, especially if they're around the same price as the Leaf - 25k with the federal tax credit. The Volt right now is just too expensive. The concept is brilliant and light years ahead of a hybrid IMO, but 43k before the tax credit? Cost/benefit just does not quite work out.
  4. Rick, why don't you make a post every time some animal loses its life/habitat from blasting the tops of mountains off for coal?
  5. I trust politicians....to screw stuff up! Narf narf narf!
  6. Neither did the Giants...just sayin. Pitching and defense can wins tons of games. Don't ever underestimate Billy Beane either.
  7. VCU were #101 last year. I'm not looking too down on the CBI or CIT after hearing this. With our young team next season, I'd take any postseason tournament we can get.
  8. The A's will come out on top of the West, but its a good start for the Rangers, especially against the AL favorites. Hopefully can get out to about 5 games or so this season.
  9. Yes Johnny, I'd like to purchase the movie rights if I may. What's that? There's a similar movie but with Jamaican guys who missed the Olympics in track? Sonuvabitch.
  10. I used an example where in a split second's time someone made a rational decision. My point is that it just as easily could have gone the other way in that split second.
  11. Here's a story about a near tragedy on top of an already horrific enough tragedy that was the Congresswoman Giffords shooting. Granted, the gentleman in this story didn't have adequate training, it brings up a good point about what can happen when more firearms are added to the mix. http://www.slate.com/id/2280794/
  12. Don't forget that if you're a little late showing up, you might not know which one is the "real" shooter.
  13. You live in Iraq? Because that was his point.
  14. You're right, they were so impressed by the daily car bombings and sectarian violence that they thought, "hey! we gotta get summa dat!".
  15. Government really shouldn't be in the business of keeping safe roads and highways. The free market can take care of it.
  16. So funny to see you package people's complex thoughts and opinions into simple little amusing tidbits so you can make cute little comments.
  17. Rasmussen would find a way to make a poll that says 99% of kids hate ice cream. I'm not in denial that a lot of people don't like the health care law, in fact I've seen plenty of polls that swing one way or the other: 52% against, 54% for, 41% for/25% unsure, ect. ect. I just wouldn't trust any poll that Rasmussen puts out. They've been consistently wrong time and time again.
  18. Agreed on Bodacious in general, don't think I've ever had the Mt Pleasant location. Its what my grandmother always gets when we come visit in Longview.
