2011 TV Thread
Started watching Luther and The Hour...both are really good. But for all the hour comparisons to mad men, it's not even close to being as good to commenting on social issues of the time.

Official 2011-2012 NFL Thread
I'm pretty happy with how louis has been playing. He's not amazing, but he's able to do the crucial move, of getting back fast enough to let the DE over pursue and just push him off balance. Which Omiyale can't do, he just gets blown by.

U.S. Out of Iraq By the End of the Year
how dare good ideas be politically motivated. I surely hope, for honesty sake, that we NEVEr end the war in afghanistan out of politics!

2011 Music Thread
the pop punk of the 00s is more accurately described as a suburbanite's self-vindication thru song that being a white suburbanite is the hardest thing on earth. I stayed away.

"but I thought they were a lot better than most pop/punk/emo (or some combination like that) bands out there" if you hate the entire genre, you aren't likely to give credit to its best.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) The hate is not towards the guy, it is towards the hype and the unnecessary religion forced into the conversation EVERY TIME THE GUY PLAYS OR IS ON TV. Keown is talking about parables and verses and bulls*** like that, in the title game Brenneman is talknig about how you are a better person after meeting him. Im just sick of it. I ignore most of it, but now that he is the starter it is going to be a freight train until the end of the season. Fox, CBS, NBC, ESPN, it will all be the same. right, it's the whole tebow movement and having to hear every commentator talk about how amazing a person he is.

I see no reason why you wouldn't pin this on John Boehner.

Job Hunt Thread
QUOTE (farmteam @ Oct 19, 2011 -> 06:57 PM) I've heard amazing things about San Francisco (and the surrounding areas, including Wine Country), save for two things: Cost of Living (it's the most expensive in the country, even more than NYC, isn't it?) and the rainy/crummy weather. Those two things might be enough to deter me from wanting to live there; however, I've never even visited. Yeah, from what we've talked about, we'd rather live in SF for the first year just to alleviate the social anxiety, and once we are more comfortable look at the surrounding areas. The rain doesn't bother me so much, as you can drive 30 minutes out and have a nice picnic in 80 degree weather.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 14, 2011 -> 03:33 PM) Basically, we eat a lot better (or at least, we eat a lot more, and in more variety). Also advances in disease prevention and treatment. We actually do eat better due to variety. The diets of plains settlers and others is atrocious. Meat and potatoes sounds well and nice until you, um, have no fiber to help you, you know.

Actually I believe we've pushed for parliamentary elections in most countries we've tried to build up.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 13, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) Dozens of cultures, as much as 90% of the Western Hemisphere population and a good percentage (40% was the estimate, I think) of the world population. But in like...1-2 generations of people! Can you imagine how that would affect someone?
