You think the NHS is capable of reattaching a penis to an arm, you socialists? USA USA USA

Man Rich Thanks To College Athletics Blasts Paying College Athletes It really drives me nuts when people say "and they get free access to equipment!". Like you consider your work desk and keyboard part of your compensation package.

That post really became great at the end.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 4, 2013 -> 06:12 PM) Seriously? Of course it was. It was a joke. With some grains of truth to it. I'm aware it was a joke. But it advances a number of consistent themes that I refuse to entertain.

I'm sensitive to the fact they thought she may have had a car bomb since she was trying to drive up to two different landmarks. I'm not sensitive to the fact that because police are in a life threatening job they are allowed to be bad at their jobs.

It's actually kinda remarkable how few places there are for Freeman to go. Would Buffalo really pick him up with their commitment to manual, even if Manual is out a long time? Browns - they are probably going to draft a QB or give Weeden one last year with Hoyer out Tennessee - Maybe Jax - I can't see them doing anything productive this year. Arizona - Maybe. Minnesota - Maybe It's amazing how many teams have pretty stable QB positions now.

Is Pead even worth a roster spot anymore? The rams coaches clearly don't think he's good.

Yeah, I think that whole conversation was ridiculous. The ACA fixes the problem of the uninsured because of money and because of pre-existing conditions. Now make this work without cost controls, because socialism. Now make this as revenue neutral as possible.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 10:38 PM) Recently in New York, police shot and killed an unarmed person and wounded two bystanders. Something similar happened either early this year or last year. Thanks, this is what I was referring to.

They were able to just read her mind and know what caused it. Link had no mention of political motive.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 10:29 PM) I haven't either, but watch that video above. She was trying to run over multiple police officers. edit: or at least willing to run them over in an attempt to flee Right, just figure if it turns out some bystander was shot it's another case of "shootings" being reported where it's actually just police officers shooting in crowded areas.

Still haven't seen anything about woman being armed.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 08:39 PM) The Capitol building and the White House aren't exactly close. I'm wondering how shots were heard there if she rammed her car into barricades at the WH. From what I understand it began with her ramming her vehicle to WH, then began a high speed chase and ended up near capital. I don't know what's going on. Doesn't seem like a mass shooting though. Just a crazy person trying to get killed.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 08:31 PM) WASHINGTON (KABC) -- The U.S. Capitol has been placed on lockdown after shots were fired outside the building. A female suspect has been killed, a source told ABC News. A source told ABC News that initial reports were that someone tried to ram the gate at the White House, and then fled to Capitol Hill. There was a short pursuit, and shots were fired. It's unclear if the suspect or officers fired the shots. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=...&id=9272756 My initial impression is this might be a scenario where crazy person tried to run through to white house, then started a chase, and police were overzealous and started shooting, injuring civilians nearby. Just my initial impression based off of that report.

So, first reports are a woman tried to run the gates at the white house, which then led to a high speed chase and possible shootout. I'm wondering if woman actually was shooting or if shootout was just police fire (ala time square last year)

Apparently Reid said 1 person injured.

Not familiar with Washington/Capitol. I'm just praying it's not like last december, where we hear of a shooting, reports of a few injured, and then suddenly it's 30 dead.

insane that that is even news. "Major political leader affirms he will not destroy world's economy"

My friends a huge browns fan, and was so down after that trent richardson trade (though I think less so, since Trich continues to average like 1.7 yards per carry). Hoyer has been so fun to watch, and love that hometown angle.

QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 03:11 PM) The ACA was passed three years ago, then delayed until now. (as part of a compromise) The President was relected even after the election was made about "Obamacare". So tell me again why it is still being debated. Was that a compromise? I recall 2013/2014 being implementation dates during passage and dems were worried they'd be punished before it was helping people. Maybe it was to help out the stupid 10 year scoring window so we could have that nice round number. Balta, do you remember?

Jake - White House already stating they won't invoke 14th amendment. Debt ceiling will not be easily resolved.

So you were funded for school by the KKK? -Just getting this in there before mr. genius.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 3, 2013 -> 04:05 AM) Why won't Reid allow a vote on any of the CR's that the House sent them? Because they are attaching riders to things that should be a clean vote. Why hasn't Boehner voted for the 3 clean CRs the Senate has passed? Why has the house suddenly moved to regular order? You want negotiations? How about "okay obama, we'll give you some part of the immigration bill, if you delay x from obama care" That's a negotiation. Both sides give and get something. A negotiation is not "Okay, we're going to take down this country unless you pass all these bills we want!"

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 2, 2013 -> 09:57 PM) Gonzalez had 1 amazing week and has been very blah besides that. You never trade a WR1(and a top 5 one at that) for a middle of the road TE1. Whoa, you are are right. I thought he was giving out 10+.
