I think you should look at the last 30 years, and see which party has created large deficits during years of growth.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 11:30 AM) The ONLY reason you say this is because I said it. If you would have, it would be the most profound thought you ever had. Give it a rest. The entire point is these people spend to their budget even if they don't have to. It's why they can't find $34 billion to cut to pay for unemployment. PAYGO, oh wait, we can't do that, because then we'd actually have to work at it. Congress is a bunch of sackless wimps whose sole justification is their own power, f*** what the people want. i wouldn't have said it. That's why i'm capable of profound thoughts and you are capable of typing. You know why the deficit has exploded the past 24 months? It has something to do with another thing that starts with an r and ends with an n

we can all make a lot of stupid claims.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 22, 2010 -> 10:55 PM) Big deal. Speaking as a person who gets ahold of his Congress-people on a regular basis for official business type reasons, (for things like radio/web interviews, and for personal issues) they don't get back to people like us anyway. Its not like I would notice a difference. speaking as someone who also does this, and who recently saw a 1 year fight to get my brothers wife her green card resolved in 1 month after contacting Senator Durbin, I disagree.

They're right. why would they talk about the fans. They're about as relevant as "the children" in this discussion.

so it does come from the owners.

i'd take Angle taking questions from nevada democratic congress.

there'll be a lot of s*** if congress people can't get back to their constituents. Some people view that as an important part of our democracy.

god deadspin is trash.

your nevada teapartyin senator candidate http://www.mynews4.com/story.php?id=23466 Ah, gotta love it.

does anyone really have any problem with these: Interns and Pages: $4.4 Million News and Research: $1.2 Million Travel: $1.4 Million a Month

pretty vanilla list.

i went to pitchfork. it was fun.

thank God. It sucked going from screaming how awesome Vizquel is to then screaming how s***ty Bobby is. Even f***ing threets can get the mariners out. Bobby sucks.

I can honestly say at this point that I had no idea how bad this was going to be to get back under.

also education might help the infected from being marginalized and harrassed.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 06:28 PM) Link. A large chunk of that cost does wind up coming from state governments. However, that's also not including the costs a city may bear if they run any sort of community health clinics as well. not to mention what an AIDS epidemic in the city would do for it's growth.

why are you bothering to argue with someone who wrote: he removed himself from serious debate when he wrote that.

where testing facilities are, where you can go for help if you have AIDS, pass out free protection, offer counseling etc. A big part of the battle is getting people tested.

an AIDS re-emergence isn't really something you want in your city/nation. In recessions things like this can happen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) If they know that you can get it through unprotected sex, than no amount of education is going to help. I disagree. If there is a general feeling that AIDS is something that happens "over there" or with others, educating them about how it's real and passed in your community would help.

shockingly, people other than the gay community get AIDS. Specifically very poor areas and rising totals in the black community (also senior citizens).

this page is pretty great.

also the idea of a zoning board in the heart of NYC being scared as pretty hilarious. I'm sure there is intimidation in that room, and it isn't coming from the audience.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) And again, these ads will do next to nothing to address the lack of knowledge. they also have street teams.
