The Democrat Thread
QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 07:24 PM) I'm not sure what your post is aiming at. But I know Romney is for more immigration, but it is in the form of more guest workers. And yes, it could be argued that more guest workers are government interference with the supply and demand aspects of the labor market. On the other end of the spectrum is the view that anything but open boarders is government intrusion into the labor market. Dont call yourself pro-capitalist or for economic freedom, unless you are for complete legal immigration. Romney is just as much a socialist as Obama, he just wants to interfere in other ways. Thats the point, when it comes to economics, you are choosing between socialist a or socialist b, which is why in my opinion this election isnt about economics at all, its about how much control should the govt have over American's daily life. And since Romney is more for govt intrusion in social life (restriction on abortion, restrictions on marriage) I cant vote for him. I just find it amusing that he believes economic freedom doesnt include labor, or he never read Adam Smith.

Sweet sounds like Romney is going to be pro-immigration: If you really are a free market capitalist, immigration should be issue #1, #2 and #3 as govt interference with labor is basically one of the worst forms of govt intrusion on the market. Oh he doesnt believe that, I forgot economic freedom doesnt include labor anymore. /puzzled

2012-2013 NFL Thread
Yeah I just think they are testing them in the preseason and not giving them as much help as they will get in the regular season.

I dvred the game and watched it today. They are probably going to have to use a TE/RB to help on the left side of the line. The right side actually did okay. Bears pass defense had some issues.

8/24 Mariners at White Sox
QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 08:16 PM) Dodgers management is loaded. They overpaid for the franchise by like $200-$300 million. They clearly don't give a s*** about cash. Yep. Its just money, if you can be the Yankees of the NL, be the Yankees of the NL.

This could be a huge series for the Sox playoff chances.

The Democrat Thread
My comment had nothing to do with Nate Silver. It was about history and why its silly to believe any incumbent "has a high probability of losing." Silver's predictive model will change with the ebb and flow of voter responses.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 07:23 PM) Samsung found to have infringed on Apples patents. Will have to pay Apple more than $1 billion, largest patent liability ever. I havent followed at all, I know Samsung split with Apple in Korea. Id have to imagine Samsung will appeal.

Tour de France Thread
All this proves is you might as well cheat, become famous and make millions. Who cares if you are stripped of titles years down the road, it really doesnt change anything. As for cheating, its part of the game. If you are hyper-competitive you are going to look for anyway to get an advantage. Bending the rules is no better than blatant cheating.

No incumbent President ever has a high probability of losing. Most incumbents win. Romney is the challenger, he has to overcome a lot to win. He may win, but even the most optimistic Romney fan should consider him a coin flip at best.

Job Hunt Thread
Ill probably stick with litigation, but I dont know. Ive never really looked around or even explored options. I just always had a job or school, so I always just went with the flow. I could probably stay here forever, but if I dont look around now, I probably never will.

Job Hunt Thread
I think Im going to start looking for a new job. Ive never looked for a job before so its going to be odd. Ive just been at the same place for a long time, and maybe its time for change.
