  1. I think you guys who have berated me as not understanding recessive/dominate, ok I agree, but my point is two fold. First Jon has for his entire life been Eddard's bastard, but we are being told now he is Targaryen. I see that as being a being a bigger twist than Syrio being alive and a faceless man. Part two is that while Bran has seen it in his vision, how will the people become convinced Jon is Targaryen? His life's story is about being a bastard. He doesn't look the part. The first reaction of the banner men houses will be "bullshit". As to Syrio=Jaqen, its fun to speculate on a message board, but I suspect it won't get cleared up in the final 6 episodes.
  2. I don't know if Syrio=Jaqen, but it is no more a stretch than black haired Jon Snow being a son of a platinum haired Targarian. Especially given Ned Stark's evidence about Joffery, not being a Baratheon. And it is interesting that Syrio disappears just before Jaqen arrives. So why was Jaqen in the cage going to the Wall? Was the great assassin actually captured?
  3. do you call everyone you disagree with a racist? Because that seems to be dominate line of attack on this board. I say she is educated beyond her intellect because even though she had a degree in economics, she had no clue about the simplest concepts, and her GND is laughed at by anyone who thinks about what it would entail. But she's attractive and an outspoken socialist, so nowadays, simpletons think she's cool.
  4. Even though you are certain he is a criminal and have labeled him a traitor, you'll be ok if he is "exonerated of any wrong-doing". lulz
  5. Yes, she's educated well beyond her intellectual capacity.
  6. You are begging the question by assuming there is a causal connection between providing financing and some hypothetical environmental accident. How does providing a loan cause the accident other than a post hoc fallacy?
  7. Gotdamnit.... I'm still with DTV. I'm old fashioned. When they "upgraded" me to the Genie 18 months ago, they said it was free with a 2-year contract. I said ok. Come Aug, we gone. Well on the 3rd, I woke to an error 775 - can't communicate with dish error. Call DTV, get it working but they want to send a Tech to check the connections. Set that up for the next day. Then she tries to up-sell me to their Protection Plan that covers TVs, laptops, etc for $21/month. Heard this shit before, told her I wasn't interested. Tech came yesterday and tightened the connections. (apparently they'd gotten loose) This AM, I get an email saying that the repair had been made and the work order was closed. For some reason I decided to read the copious amount of text below the graphic. It said I agreed to the $21 protection plan and that the billing would be reflected on the next bill! Went to their website to remove it. Can't find a way to remove it. So I call them, hold for 5 minutes talk to some woman about it. She puts me on hold for a couple of minutes to talk with an account rep. She then transfers me to the account rep (after a 1 minute hold) who asks what I'm calling about. Finally I think I got it cancelled. Told him I didn't agree to it, want it taken off, and there to be no pro-rated charge. Also told him that I resented what DTV had done and considered it fraud. Then they tried to up-sell me to ATT internet services....SMDH.
  8. RE: Detectorists Season 3 Don't know if it "aired" but you can watch it on Amazon with the Acorn subscription Season 3
  9. Clintons resort to using Groupon to sell half-price tickets for speeches.
  10. Good show, watching last night and it seems to have moved to hulu though
  11. Hope Colt has a great game, and closes it out with a hard tight spiral pass that hits Jerry Jones right in the nuts when he walks the sideline.
  12. Politico - Former Clinton adviser: Hillary will run in 2020 She's going to become theDemocrat's version of Harold Stassen.
  13. Campaign finance - No entity can spend money supporting any candidate or election issue unless that person can vote in that election. (Eliminates pacs, corps, unions, congressional coordinating committees, DNC/RNC, big $ national donors, Californians donating to Texas candidates). To accommodate the 1st amendment, you can spend discussing issues (abortion/gun control is bad/good), but no candidate recommendations. Political parties are bad - Congressmen/Senators are more beholden to their leadership than their electorate. To weaken the party power: No state supported primaries Only candidate's name on ballot, no party reference. Obviously no straight ticket voting End direct election of Senators. Have them chosen by elected state officials (As opposed to original legislature only language, I'm thinking Governor nominates, Leg approves.) Congressmen elected as current. As to the # of congressmen, I am amenable to increasing. And let them attend sessions and vote via webinar or some such thing. Electoral college - I am generally ok with it, as long as there are no "winner take all" states. For those who proclaim it is anti-democratic, well I don't really trust the electorate. (The electorate gave us Trump and Hillary)
  14. First off...Fuck directv in the goat ass. Not only is this a stupid commercial, but it shows they don't have a clue that their real competition is cable cutters. Is their marketing dept that clueless? I guess so.
