  1. Hey Pete, you know that this whole "maintaining the herd immunity" thing really comes about by having robust immunization standards, right? Pete? Do go stupid on us, Pete.
  2. That's just some weird shit. I think Boeing has some Russia-type bots posting here.
  3. Boeing Co. on Monday said certain safety alerts on its 737 MAX jets didn’t operate as airlines would have anticipated because of a previously undisclosed error on its part. https://www.wsj.com/articles/boeing-signals-additional-software-problem-affecting-737-max-airliners-11556592646?mod=hp_lead_pos1
  4. I agree. I mean, being a Christian still requires some kind of adherence to the teachings of Christ.
  5. 1. Franklin is Billy's son. Franklin is no Billy, that's for sure. 2. I guess a Christian can be anything they want, but to me, a Christian sure as hell isn't going to be libertarian. Unless their religion has completely removed the teachings of this dude called Jesus. Jesus called on us to help others, not to go on some kind of Ayn Rand blitzkrieg. But I could be wrong.
  6. Yep. We're getting back to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory days, in that the worker is nothing and profits (and the consequences of pursing them over all else) are everything. Employees get killed. Customers get killed. The company still makes its profit.
  7. Siap, but I read that the pilots on one (maybe both) of the downed planes followed the Boeing flight manual to the letter. The manual said nothing about this "glitch". This is on Boeing.
  8. What kind of organization do you have to have where Ollie North has the moral high ground? Ladies and Gentlemen: The NRA!
  9. This is the same mentality exhibited by liberals on college campuses who don't like the message (or messenger) from conservative speakers. They label the issue as "hate speech" and get their panties in a twist. Applying reasonable (yes, reasonable) restrictions on guns isn't "fucking" with the 2nd A. But then, that's the same logic used by labeling the discussion as "hate speech". You're never going to change the minds of people like this.
  10. An America where reasonable gun control laws are called for is now described as "hate speech".
  11. I guess I can see why some precious snowflakes might be offended by my post (although it wasn't meant to offend). We as a country have a big gun problem. If that doesn't count as "news" to you, then so be it.
  12. Take him literally, not seriously. Or did I get that turned around? Bottom line: fuck anybody who still supports that walking sack 'o shit.
  13. Something has to be done with the gun laws (and 2nd A) in this country. But, of course, nothing will be done with the gun laws (and 2nd A) in this country. So these shootings will continue. Thoughts and prayers, right?
  14. Post o' the Month right there. That is funny. Thank you.
  15. Hmm, maybe you're just too young to remember what it was like before? Let's start with today's GOP and Christianity being abnormal. Think opposite. Channel your inner Costanza. And I understand the political bullshit, it comes in waves and this is a particularly bad wave, imo. What I cannot countenance is the supposed religious imprimatur that Christianity (specifically evangelicals) offers to Trump and GOP policies. Look at Franklin Graham to see the blatant hypocrisy. And I learned the commandment as "Thou shalt not kill". Not "Thou shalt not commit murder."
  16. Nowaday, that seems to be only kind of R out there: hypocritical evangelical dipshits. Fuck them. It's time the normals took back the GOP and Christianity.
  17. Because Texas, politically speaking, is still largely a shit hole state. Times may be a changin'.
  18. I'm sure not all of them are Trump voters. But I bet a whole lot are. Or were. Probably still are.
  19. One would think that farmers would know the maxim "you reap what you sow". Guess not.
  20. Yes, it is. You're assuming, among other things, that LJH was in tip-top shape and prepared adequately for his timed run. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't.
  21. That's a lot to assume.
  22. That's not where the blame resides. Of course the people who will gain financially will "advise" a player to leave school and enter the draft. They don't have the player's long-term interests at heart.
  23. As did his decision to enter the draft, imo.
  24. No, it wouldn't. It absolutely would not be a legit defense. Jesus.
  25. I haven't kept up with all the "nuances" of the posts in this thread, I freely admit, but if we're talking about the same subset of people with the census question - they aren't citizens, right? So, it's not a subset of citizens then. But the purpose of the census is to count people. All people.
