So what are you saying Justin? are you saying that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi, wasn't deported, that it was all a lie? I'm saying we don't know anything right now, and drawing all kinds of startling conclusions at this point is unwarranted. 'And for people in the media, it's irresponsible. Maybe Abd...

Yeah you can say all this Justin..but I'm in another ciountry looking in, I have no agenda regards American politics..I don't know if Glen Beck is a flake if he is telling lies shouldn't he be prosecuted? The UK has much stronger libel laws than we do. We err on the side of free speech, and rightly...

The only really curious thing is that we keep consuming this worthless live-action media that, in its desperation to capture breaking news, makes stupid mistakes and thereby provides fodder for conspiracy theorists. Outfits like the NY Post make egregious blunders and then quietly take them back dow...

I agree with the principle, but I dislike many of this guy's perspective on weirdness. Even though he says weird people aren't driven by money, he seems fixated on that. For example, he rhetorically asks how he could be friends with a guy who tortures women, and the only answer seems to boil down to...

And your point is??? :lol: ... So, Justin... I am scathing of people who smoke because I used to smoke a pack of Marlboro a day, and had the cahones to quit cold turkey. This is exactly my point. Good for you that you had the combination of biology and upbringing that made it possible for you to go...

1) I am a published health services researcher, and am employed by a Fortune 100 health insurer which does business both in the commercial and Medicare Advantage sector. I've worked in the field for 20 years. I know more about health care delivery (and medicine as well) than Obama and Pelosi and Re...

I think Obama's drone policy and general judicial approach is crap, and I wouldn't vote for him again because of it. It still seems silly to bother pointing out since I'm preaching to the choir, but many here seems to think I always give liberals a pass. Maybe you guys should start posting unmitigat...

While some styles are surely dying out with their last students, others are developing. The branches of Uechi-Ryu, as I understand it, are like dialects of a common language. As time passes, they will become different enough that we'll consider them distinct styles. TMA evolve over time, despite all...

I hope they remember how the Senate hadn't passed a budget in... man, I've lost track of how many days it's been since one has been passed. That's a very valid criticism. Granted, the senate has stalled because they know the house is going to obstruct anything they want to do, but that's a lame exc...

You made some points worth responding to, but I'm too busy these days to want to spend my time arguing against posts so chock-full of ad-hominem. I'll just content myself with knowing that we've got a brand new four years to bask in the advance of progressive liberal policies, because that's what th...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2012/07/13/13-reasons-why-this-is-the-worst-congress-ever/ Oh wait, you don't read links. Here's a summarized excerpt from it. They've passed fewer than half as many laws as the next-least-productive conress Their popularity is equal to the popularity ...

Okay Bill, I'll rephrase to: Where the parties disagree is on what constitutes an equal opportunity. I'm sorry you didn't like my baseball analogy that I invented and has never been used before by anybody to colorfully describe a situation of equal opportunity. I also know that your deep and abiding...

a party that believes in equal opportunity rather than guaranteed equal outcome. Strawman alert! Guaranteed equal outcome is not part of the platform of any of the significant parties. I'm pretty sure both parties believe that equal opportunity is important. Where they don't agree is on what consti...

I think it depends on where you live/operate, are you a target or might be confused with one and many other factors, so I say it is a personal decision. I rather have front airbags disabled.

That's pretty dubious given the relative risk of dying in a regular old car accident.
