the only two guys i know who paid for an abortion are staunch conservatives. one is a Republican member of the Texas legislature and one of the leading anti-abortion proponents. its always different when its you making that choice. this is a silly argument. a woman's right to control her body is a fundamental right to freedom and privacy. to rule otherwise would be to claim women are second class citizens devoid of the same freedoms and privacy enjoyed by men. its really that simple. if you oppose abortions, like i do - father of 5-, then work hard to make sure women and men have the proper education, contraception, and choices to avoid becoming pregnant to begin with. if you are a christian or a person of faith, like i am, you have got to get over believing pre-marital sex is wrong. its not. its the most natural thing you can do. and to help you, you should remember how many times you engaged in premarital sex. again, its always different when its you making that choice. we could end hundreds of thousands of abortions each year AND give a woman the fundamental right to freedom and privacy if we would just get over pretending sex is wrong and invest in education, contraception, and the right choices.

Look man, I had to put Porter in over Ingram in the 4th.

Fucking anti-vaxxers. My kid isn't allowed to bring peanuts to school because he might sicken an allergic kid. How about your kid isn't allowed to bring communicable diseases to school, on planes, etc.? I have one simple proposal: you can opt out of vaccines. But if, due to that decision, you/your child contracts a vaccine-preventable illness, and transmits it to another person, you will be held both civilly and criminally liable for assault causing serious bodily injury. Deal? You can do whatever the fuck you want with your body, but when you use that to transmit a deadly pathogen to me or my family, you are legally responsible. That's the way a law-and-order society works.

Me and my boy. Ready to roll!

I’m a huge college football fan. I love the matchups of teams that run different styles of offenses and defenses, which is why college ball is so much more entertaining than the NFL. I also love to analyze games, but I’m pretty lazy when it comes to writing/typing it all out. We’ll see if I have the time and energy to do this again. Mississippi State versus Kansas State Miss State has amassed some pretty good talent over the last few years, certainly by their standards, but Dan Mullen isn’t in Starkville any longer. K-State seems to be moving in the opposite direction. IMO, this isn’t Bill Snyder’s pre-Ron Prince Wildcat team. The timeless one is still coaching up 3 star talent, but they just don’t have the random playmakers they once did. Who are these teams? I plan to watch and find out. Arizona versus Houston Kevin Sumlin’s Wildcats couldn’t quite get over the hump last week against BYU. They have some playmakers, starting of course with dynamic QB Khalil Tate, but can Sumlin bring their chaos into order? Tate ran all over the field last Saturday, but struggled connecting with receivers. He really didn’t even look like a poor man’s Johnny Manziel. It was kind of pathetic for a “Heisman candidate.” Will playing Cougars a second week in a row end better for Arizona? Duke versus Northwestern The battle of the athletic nerds. I don’t really care about either of these teams, but it’s a matchup of similar schools with former sad sack programs that have been pretty decent for several years. Should be fun to watch. Georgia Tech versus South Florida GT is always entertaining because their option attack is foreign to most teams they play. Defending the option in a one-off often represents a challenge to defenses because they just don’t defend the option frequently. It allows GT to do more with less. And Charlie Strong’s teams, as we well know, often manage to do less with more. I’m curious to see how the Fightin’ Charlies do, much like I’m curious about major car accidents. UCLA versus Oklahoma Fuck OU. There, I said it. It’d be great if a steamroller managed to flatten their team buses on the way to the stadium one week. People have been singing their praises after they ran all over Lane Kiffen’s overmatched FAU squad last weekend, but that game was never expected to be close. UCLA has more talent, but Wilton Speight? If he’s the answer, somebody asked a stupid question. The Bruins were unimpressive in Chip Kelly’s debut against Cincinnati. He’s an asshole and the Sooners are fucktards. Something’s gotta give. Georgia versus South Carolina How will the best players money can buy fare against a raging Will Muschamp? Colorado versus Nebraska A renewal of a rivalry from days when both teams had high aspirations. Can Scott Frost revive the Big Red Machine? North Carolina versus East Carolina I didn’t even realize East Carolina was a state. This is very confusing. I do have a feeling this season may be Larry Fedora’s swan song at UNC. They sure have sucked lately. And after the years of cheating in Chapel Hill, they have nothing to show for it. Iowa State versus Iowa This is a low-key rivalry that most college football fans don’t pay much attention to. I am interested in seeing if the Cyclones are back with another exciting year of beating some teams they shouldn’t and building a better program for the future. Matt Campbell is a great coach, but Iowa is traditionally the much more accomplished and heralded program (for whatever that’s worth). The Hawkeyes edged out the Cyclones last year, despite the Cyclones’ resurgence. One thing’s for sure: the Cyclones won’t sneak up on the Hawkeyes. Tulsa versus Texas Meh. Texas better come out fired up and put the Golden Hurricane away from the kickoff. Herman is finding out the spotlight in Austin will melt a coach quickly. Clemson versus Texas A&M. Last week, aggy was back! against the Little Sisters of the Poor. This week, reality is going to knock their teeth out. If fan enthusiasm won games, I'd give this one to the ags. It doesn't. Unless the 12th Man is a lockdown corner or a road grading O-Lineman, the Tigers are going to fuck the perpetual shit talking aggies up. I'm sure Leon O'Neal will run his mouth until time runs out, just to be sure. Of course, Jimbo Fisher has won a national championship...back when he wasn't a low-T cuckold and when his team was actually talented. Too many holes in this A&M squad. Pooooor aggies. USC versus Stanford Another “who are these teams?” game. Stanford often has workmanlike years in which they seem to quietly break teams and win games by a FG or a TD. And they sometimes stub their toes against teams they should easily put away. Who is the 2018 Cardinal? And how will SC fare without Sam Darnold? Thoughts? What games are y’all interested in?

This could be ugly.

Those has never been their roots. They have only been rhetoric.

Imagine watching Trump speak last night and Obama speak today and deciding that Obama's speech today is the one to complain about.

I'll take a lecture by an erudite, thoughtful man of experience over a bumbling narcissist who fucks up everything he touches, every day of the week. Unfortunately, 40% of the population just can't stand uppity blacks.

Let me guess — both sides.

For the rest of my life, part of the decision making algorithm every time I vote will be to determine what each person was doing, saying, and involved with in this time in which we are currently living. Everyone who is complicit or complacent right now needs to gtfo.

The year is 2137. Our 96th attempt at replacing Mack Brown is in his second year. He loses the first game of the season to Mars Directional. SurlyHorns reminds everyone not to panic because Nick Saban lost to ULL-Monroe in 2007.

Man, you guys flip on a motherfucker quick. Let’s never plan a bank heist together.

The Mrs. is going out of the country for work for a couple of weeks. We have a plan in place in which I'll get home around 5:15, after working my 12 hour shift, and we can leave the house by 6 for the drive to Houston to stay in a hotel so she can fly out in the morning. I get home, shit, shower, shave and get dressed and am standing at the door at 6:00pm. I also took out the upstairs trash, fed her cats, gave the dog food and fresh water and loaded the car. Her? She left work 3 hours early to pack and we leave 40 minutes late. Not a big deal. Whatever. Stop for a quick bite and I let her drive while I navigate as I'm starting to get sleepy and we are only 30 minutes from the hotel anyway. We're 4 minutes out when she tells me that I need to close the navigation app and look for her booking app so we call find the hotel as she actually navigated us to the airport, instead of the hotel. Started to get pissed but i don't say a word. Start digging through her app looking for the hotel reservation. Can't find it. She tells me to look in another app. Still no hotel. Finally I close her shit out and pull out my phone. Find the hotel address in seconds and gets us back on track after having her bust a u-turn. We pull into the parking so she can spend 10 minutes rifling through her bags for her "special" brush. Whatever the fuck that is. Finds brush seems head inside. Anyone care to guess what happens when we get to the counter? You guessed it. No fucking reservation! Fuck my life. Edit: Oh and she still has yet to check into her flight. Smh

Good job by everyone associated in getting big Pat the right treatment and saving his life. Puts everything in perspective

Then vote for him. Cruz is a goblin who puts his own interests above ours. He’s a shitbag who doesn’t deserve to represent the people of Texas. You may not agree with every one of Beto’s policy stances, but ask yourself this: do you believe he is doing what he truly thinks is best for our state and our nation? I do. And that’s what I’m looking for in our representatives these days. Because a guy who truly wants to do the right thing can be convinced to change course when it turns out he’s wrong on some policy point. People like Cruz can’t be convinced of anything, because they assume the answer ahead of time and are only seeking self-glorification anyway.

You can’t blame me for supporting a treasonous, petulant traitor. This is all the fault of that guy who said “Hey, maybe we should be reasonable and civil in politics.” What a dick!

Hahhaa, Trump going to be rage tweeting about this in a few hours.

She just texted me: Her: Who the hell wants to sit out in the crappie weather for a football game? Me: Yeah, it sure is fishy.. Her: ? Me: I'll bring a pole and some jigs. Her: Why are you doing this?

Lulz.

The debate really should be which 25 Van Halen songs are tied for 1st

We need to replace our kitchen faucet set and can't find a direct replacement. We have a girl who is an interior designer/decorator that's worked on the house before, so I told my wife to get her to look at it and come up with a replacement that would look appropriate and fit in the space. (My fucking fault here) I came home last week to the same faucet........and 4 pages of sketches converting our bedroom/bath and an adjacent guest room/bath into one master suite with sitting room, shoe closet, makeup counter...all that bullshit. All I wanted was a glass of water from the faucet.

Dudes talking about abortions - my most favorite thing! And I have a 16 year old daughter. I hope like hell abortion remains legal and safe and accessible for her if, god forbid, she should ever be in a position to need to make that choice. I’m 46 years old and could still biologically get pregnant. But I currently have a medical condition and take a medication that if I did accidentally get pregnant, I would have to have an abortion. In my situation, the pregnancy would self abort around 15-16 weeks and could kill me. If I were to get pregnant, I would have to go to Birmingham because all the local clinics - of which there will only two - have been closed down because of shitty restrictive state laws. But please keep trying to shame me about why I’m pro-choice. It won’t work. On topic - Kavanaugh suuuuuuuucks.

Everyone! Gather round! The "I'm just asking questions" guy has arrived! He demands proof! Who will have the courage to answer his riddles?! Step right up!

I will never vaccinate my children, Jaxxon, Brynnlee, and Ashtyn because vaccines have heavy metals in them that cause all kinds of disorders. I'd rather them get measles than autism. Also if everyone else is vaccinated then my angels don't need to be vaccinated too because where are they going to get polio from anyways?

* Literally nothing in your long posting history indicates this ** I've been in the "software" business for 20 years, and an English speaker for 44. I don't know what this sentence means. *** This example is terrible. Wordperfect lost for a number of reasons, a combination of being undercapitalized at key times, displaced at the low end by MS-works and being late to market on Windows. But the main reason was that they got acquired twice in 2 years by indisciplined corporate parents (Novell and Corel) and lost their position with the business customers who used them due to sales disruption while microsoft was aggressively pushing office as part of their corporate offering. Also - Office was and is better. **** No they aren't. Google is currently dominant but facing significant challenges, and the other three are as well. You tube is a niche feature of Google. Twitter is a niche company. Facebook the product is groewth constrained and making up for it by buying challengers that do well with key demographics leaving facebook, like Instagram. ***** There are terms of service under which private companies grant you a license to use their platform. In return you abide by their rules and give your consent to certain things by way of consideration. When people violate the rules and get caught they wind up losing access. That's not censorship. ****** They certainly aren't neutral to their corporate strategic objectives or terms of service. What are they supposed to be neutral about? ******* Facebook, Youtube, Twitter etc are biased toward the American political left? That's rich. See above. Also, take a look at your own facebook feed, which I suspect is not littered with left-wing political propaganda. ******** Let me see if I have this right. Are you saying that Google, YouTube (separately, because they are Google), Facebook and Twitter are colluding to use their "natural monopoly" power in a conspiracy to influence the Cabinet of the executive branch to remove the president via they 25th amendment through ... search results? ********* booga booga booga!

I think you mean "Slocum's Razor" ...

Cops just want to go home to their family at the end of the day. Or go to someone else's home and shoot them dead. Either or.

This shit is caused by anti vaxxer dipshits.

I don't think most people have any actual interest in firing Herman now; rather, I think many (most?) on here believe they can see the writing on the wall - that Herman isn't good enough. Once you have concluded this, it makes little sense to keep him around for a third year. The question is whether they are correct that Herman is not good enough. To me, there isn't a lot of reason for optimism. He's shown that he does a poor job of selecting/retaining assistants; he's shown that he does a poor job of correcting problems, as the same ones keep happening; he's shown extraordinary inaccuracy in assessing the quality of his players/team; he's shown a stubborn unwillingness to play his best players; he's shown that he is very reluctant to accept blame, to the point that he takes coach-speak bullshit and deflection to almost unprecedented levels (trying too hard, mice and men, etc). And, though the season has just started, losing to the 6th or 7th best team on your schedule does not bode well. These are not the characteristics of great (or even good) coaches. Again, almost to a man, the elite or very good coaches in the sport showed it by their second season. Herman's second season is likely to be within a game or two of .500, in either direction. Suffice to say that anything better than 7-8 wins at this point would be extremely surprising, and is probably less likely than 5-6. Based on all this - the thought of another year, when we all feel like we just saw this movie, is galling. But we will almost certainly get another year, maybe with some cosmetic changes whose impact will probably be marginal. Because, at the end of the day, he's just not a particularly good coach.

That doesn't mean Trump was good at debating. It means you're a moron.

"The officer was not injured in the shooting" Good thing they cleared that up.

Anything to get out of playing for the Browns.

Why does everything in this country come down to abortion? It's so fucking tiring. We end up with this same stupid virtue signaling over arguments that have been hashed out again and again. And nobody changes their mind. Meanwhile, we have a president that most likely offered to drop Magnitski sanctions (and later sanctions related to election) on Russia for dirt on opponent, changed posture and party platform toward Ukraine invasion, gave aid and comfort to enemy at Helsinki, openly asked them to hack his opponent, and claims that he cannot obstruct justice, will not honor a subpoena, can pardon himself, and appoint his own judge. But let's rehash abortion argument again.

Okay...Breitbart, Fox News, etc are all free to start their own Facebook/Twitter type programs. If people would just go to using Facebook for the purpose it was originally created, creeping on your old high school girlfriends, things would be a lot better. And again, stop conflating free speech with what a corporation is allowed to do on their platforms. Your speech is not being infringed. The government is not stepping in and halting your speech. It's funny how some on the right are very anti-regulation until it's justified to bring down on a corporation that's affecting them.

NSIAP

This is fucking amazing.

I've discussed this with several psychiatrists - he's not mentally sound. He fits all kinds of criteria for serious personality disorders straight out of DSM. If there's just some jackass you elected...fine, face the consequences. But when the motherfucker literally belongs in a psych ward, they need to enact article whatever the fuck to get him out of office. It's really that simple. Also, it was good to be away a few days, not berating this ignorant son of a bitch (especially in Vegas)...but I'm back. Fuck you and your enablers you sick motherfucker.

Yeah. We have a mentally declining president who is open about his desire to be an autocrat. He's alienating all of our allies and cozying up to Putin and Kim. His cabinet is the most ridiculous collection of idiots ever assembled. His Secretary of Education is anti-public education, for fuck's sake. He probably colluded with Russia to steal the election. Oh, and he probably raped 17 women. He is, without question, a bad guy. Even his supporters can't argue that he is a good or moral man. But "leftist hegemony" is the real threat to our democracy. God damn, the right has gone full stupid.

The Socials were dicks.
