    I'm not sure what 'divided tectonic plates' you're referring to. Denton is a long ways from the nearest margin of a tectonic plate. The geology of north-central Texas has been fairly stable for a long time with very few & very minor earthquakes. The 'quakes under discussion are post-fracking..

    That's bullshit. Unless you have some support for that statement it should be removed.

    it was a joke, '90. We all know rhere are no liberal Republicans.
  4. GTWT
    Rick, I'm willing to admit that today's liberal Republicans aren't racist. Isn't that enough?

    When did I say I loved Robert Byrd? He wasn't as bad as Thurman but that isn't saying much. And yes the conservatives who opposed the Equal Rights Act & integration were racists. It's nice that some of them later decided that segregation was bad & that fair access to the voting booth was okay but one has to wonder about their motivation. As for agreeing with my political views - no big deal. I do wish they would accept science. But one can only hope for just so much.

    Rick, Lots of old-timey politicians - including Al Gore, Sr - were on the wrong side of the civil rights issue. Some were Denocrats, some were Republicans. What did they all have in common? They were conservatives. Conservatives of all stripes tend to choose short-term benefit over long-term good. That's why they are wrong about the environment and climate change, & why they were so wrong about civil rights. Are you really going to go back and find every stupid thing that Joe Biden has said in the past 7 years? You have too much free time.

    The loon - a proud & noble bird.

    I understand why this issue is embarrassing to Republicans. Remember though, that as your quote makes clear, I wasn't indicting Republicans, I was talking about the opposition of conservatives to civil rights - conservative Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. The conservatives - of all kinds - were on the wrong side of this issue in the middle of the 20th Century. The idea that today's conservatives support minority rights - if true - is only proof that they now recognize that their ancestors were wrong.

    No, not usually. A majority of Americans believe in Creationism, a 6,000 year old earth, & that 'Survivor' is classy entertainment. Many believe our president is a muslim who was born in Kenya, Indonesia, Hawaii, or some other foreign country. The same folks believe in flying saucers, Big Foot, and the cupracabra. https://www.google.com/search?q=Brian+Burns+Urban+legends Project much?

    The reason Romney supported the Mass heath care initiative as governor was because it was a good idea. It was still a good idea when Obama signed the national version into law. Conservatives have been wrong about every big issue in the last half-century - e.g., social security, civil rights, & the environment. They're wrong about health care too.

    Darn. I finally give '90 a +1 & now I find out that he doesn't give 2 craps.

    I'm proud of Denton. It's not often you see an entity choose long-term good over short-term profit.

    True dat. Maybe it's the 75 scholarship limit. Even OU, UT, & most other biggies have to rebuild now rather than just reload.

    At the mid-major level teams that are good one year tend to fall off the next. UNT just doesn't have the depth that a team like A&M or LSU has. We lost a lot from last year's bowl team & there was no reason to think that wouldn't have an effect on the win-loss column this year. North Texas will be better next year & even better the year after. In other words - the anguished wails are silly.

    I doubt that the player meant his off-the-cuff remarks about a teammate to be posted on GMG. In my opinion this post was inappropriate.

    Hi '90. What do you think? Is a regression line fitted to the graph in the Mail article going to be positive or negative?
  17. GTWT
    Looking at the graph provided by the article you link to, do you think a regression line would be positive or negative?

    I'm in Canyon. I drive through Perryton occasionally so be nice.

    My gosh. I just +1ed UNT90. The world must be ending.

    If memory serves he was MVP of the HOD Bowl. Not bad for a "bad" QB.

    I think they focus on different issues. Fiscal conservative - balanced budgets, taxation, reduced government regulation. Social conservative - abortion, immigration, same-sex marriage Obviously there is over-lap but I think they are different animals.
  22. GTWT
    That is the scariest thing I've seen in a very long time. And the funniest.
  23. GTWT
    It would be interesting to know where those who rank high on the conservative side rank on the Social Conservatibve / fiscal conservative spectrum.
  24. GTWT
    Dems - 89% Green - 85% Libertarian - 69% Constit - 61% Conserv - 60% Reps - 59% Soc - 52%

    We ain't married to cUSA & we ain't in a loving relationship with our conference mates. Each school knows good & well that any cUSA school would leave in a heart-beat if a better offer was in hand. That's the way it should be.
