You seem to believe that if race was a factor in these comments, there would be some pretty serious implications, and I can't figure out why. To me, race being a factor in these comments is a totally benign fact, and it's weird to me that it sparked a multi-page argument. "Platitudes"? My "point...

The main reason he even made the comments, or was even asked to make the comments--the main reason any of us even heard of this shootingat all--is because of its supposed racial implications. On its surface, it looked like "white man guns down unarmed black kid and gets away with it." At the...

I don't think I understand this argument. I mean, of course race was a factor in his comments. At the time, this shooting became the vehicle or excuse to have this sort of national conversation (I hate using this term) primarily because of 1) the race component, and 2) the 'Stand Your Ground'...

Archer, South Park, The Simpsons, American Dad, Futurama, etc. There are plenty of good cartoons that adults can enjoy. I've harped on this enough at this point, though. I guess people who enjoy anime are just getting something out of it that I'm missing. I probably just don't get it. To me...

On the one hand, I'm a proud member of Team Sherman at the moment, so I'd be fine with them winning. On the other hand, Manning is a badass and I'd kinda like to be able to go back and quote all the people in this thread who said the Broncos couldn't win a Super Bowl with their weak defense...

'0bummer' is tolerable, but using shit like 'DemoRats' and 'Rethuglicans' should be infraction-worthy.

Yep. And reminder, Inuyasha looks completely fucking retarded, carries a sword that weighs four times as much as he does, he's a half "demon" which makes him cool, and the female lead in the series is 15 years old. Anime is art, guys!

Angela Bassett.

Exactly. Just minus the comedic value and plus the bizarre pornagraphy and 37 minute retarded fight scenes between teenage boys that look like girls carrying swords that weigh 400 pounds.

I did not realize that was the joke. My apologies.

Alex Smith: Pro Bowler.

They don't suck at that either, bro:The 5 Most Statistically Full of Shit National Stereotypes | Cracked.com What they do suck at is selling me Bacon and Peanut Butter in their markets.

Is this actually true? I know it's the conventional wisdom, but I wonder if it's actually reflected in the stats. I remember a few years back NE beat Tennessee like 73-0 in the snow.

Competition to force the healthcare system to improve is provided by external threats. States which needlessly squander their resources on inefficient healthcare systems that provide worse healthcare outcomes for their citizens are disadvantaged compared to those states who do not. There's...

If anime wanted to be more respected it probably should've chosen something less retarded than Inuyasha to broadcast on Cartoon Network for the last 10 years of my life.

Was it Lumie that killed Araysar, or was it all the fish and bananas he was eating? Was tad10 right all along?!?

2 Biebers and a goth. Sounds enticing.

The Chiefs lost despite Smith playing great. The 49ers made it to the NFC title game despite Kaepernick playing like complete dogshit every game. Eventually their luck ran out, and the defense could no longer compensate for Colin "0-1 TD, 175 passing yards, and 3 turnovers per game" Kaepernick.

I definitely agree that MTG is well above Warhammer and D&D on the dork scale, but I'll also argue that 99% of all anime is completely unwatchable to any healthy, functioning, adult human male. Anime is almost so universally terrible, when it happens to be good, we should just call it something...

How many more post season games would Kaepernick need to throw as many TDs as Smith threw in one?

49ers went to the Super Bowl when they had Alex Smith on their team...

Why couldn't it be Golden Tate's leg folding in half instead of Bowman's?

That appears to be a fantastically bullshit call.

Running QBs: lol

Nice catch.

Receivers are getting wrecked this game.

Beastmode, shaking hands like a gentleman.

Two completed passes in a row!

That was a terrible call, and Harbaugh is a total spaz.

Haha, after all that "12th man" pre-game hype. Instant turnover.

They are in some areas, but in general I agree with you. However, I argue that the two are not mutually exclusive. Why can't we do both? Why would a single-payer system necessarily hinder "specialized medical knowledge or invention"? Single-payer systems are just straight-up more efficient. Why...

In the particular case of healthcare, yes. Healthcare is a public good, and is one of the primary reasons to even have a government. Other western countries are providing their citizens with better healthcare for less money, and they are not doing it with "less government."

Americans pay a shitload more for healthcare than the citizens of other countries and yet still have worse health outcomes.

No, one democrat senator AND a shitload of republican senators "fucked everything up."

The idea that the minority party has no responsibility to contribute to the legislative process is completely idiotic.

That's some pretty shitty logic, Big P, but I respect the audacity. In no way are their votes irrelevant. A Republican vote for single-payer is just as good as a Democrat vote. It's not like Republican votes just stop counting the instant the other party obtains a majority, and Republicans don't...

Which Republicans were in favor of single-payer?

Lumie, do you remember when I said your comet ISON prediction wouldn't come to pass, and that you would inevitably disappear, only to return a few months later and pretend it never happened? I do. We'll see you in about, what? 3 months? You stupid fucking idiot.

Lumie do we all have the plague now? Did comet ISON doom us all?
