    Government intervention, or saving a life?

    Actually, I think the Amish are required to live at least some of their lives as children, or shortly after adulthood, in "normal" America so they can make an informed decision at the age of 18 (or 21?) on which life they want to lead - so the government already intervenes. Still not sure I'm...

    NBA Playoffs

    We've seen that look on Kobe's face many many many times.... And though I'd love to see it on Kobe's face one more time I'd rather see the look on Shaq's face when another year passes when Kobe couldn't do it without him...."hey kobe, tell me how my ........ tastes" *laughs*

    Beers - Abita if its friends, Bud light with lime if I'm floating down a river, Dos Equis if I'm with friends and thirsty :P and bud select if I'm shooting pool. Liquors - Pretty much a whisky man, recently on a Glenlivet 15yr kick (scotch, for you non-whisky types), though I enjoy a makers...

    NFL draft thread!!! ESPN reports, Stafford's the guy...

    problem is the lions have no defense and no offensive line - last thing they need is another skill position - less they plan on going max protect every single play, pettigrew fills neither need.

    NFL draft thread!!! ESPN reports, Stafford's the guy...

    Stafford will do well if the Lions can resist putting him in the fire until next year, when hopefully they can draft or trade for or sign some decent offensive linemen. IF they stick to their plan of letting Culpepper take the beating this year and letting Stafford learn, they'll be fine... That...

    Bush was right!

    Waterboarding does cause pain. It isn't something I would want my soldiers to go through. I don't believe its appropriate. Do remember, the people we're doing it to are not aware they're going to survive. Its not a training scenario. Chinese water torture isn't "painful"...drip drip drip....its...

    For the first time in years

    Its too soon for anyone to tell. If I'd been asked, I would have voted no opinion. Hell, it most regular corporate jobs there's a 90 day probation period, and most businesses don't start turning a profit for at least a year. Pretty absurd to expect any major/noticable impact on everyday life in...

    Has Countrywide lost their marbles?

    I was in mortgages for a short period of time. Nothing sub-prime, and with a major bank. I had to leave because the restrictions on who we would and wouldn't finance got ridicilious. Our approval rate cut in half, literally, and these were A and B tier customers - nothing subprime, just normal...

    'Reporters' - Good or Bad

    I tend to agree with you on the second two. Unfortunately, there is a market for that garbage, and bear in mind, plenty of celebs go courting the media when it suits their needs (its a love hate relationship). On the torture issue, I'll never agree with it. Some branches are taught how to...

    'Reporters' - Good or Bad

    He had a right to film and he knew it. He was walking away, to his truck - he has freedom of speech and he knew it - he had a right to say what he said. He was secured against the truck after walking to it - and then offered to leave multiple times AGAIN - and was then arrested. Whatever...

    Bush was right!

    Who said I was referring to torture as justification for 9/11? Who said I was referring to terrorist to begin with, since terrorist don't have "national" interests? Though I find it dangerous to say that torture is ok for us to do since they are doing it...last I checked most parents don't buy...
