  1. so you don't need to make a whole pot of simple syrup huh.
  2. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) Or they could be doing research. I'd like to know more about the exact wording and span of these provisions, but in general, I tend to dislike a lot of the Patriot Act. I really, really didn't like that Obama flip-flopped and supported retro immunity to the telecoms, which I think set an awful precedent. I just think we are now at the point where any administration can (and likely WILL) act illegally, and unconstitutionally (and this is where I most think following the constitution MATTERS), and they are shielded as long as they act like they are working a) for national security or bee) with good enough secrecy it doesn't come up until the next administration and we all just want to moveON.org
  3. QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) Kanye acted like a douche. As irrelevant as the awards may be, he acted like a jackass and embarrassed her in front of millions of people. It doesn't matter what the stage was or how much the award truly "mattered"; he was an ass, and it was completely uncalled for. The awards were uncalled for, his behavior matched it.
  4. I mean, are library records really going to catch anything? Is hollywood that influential? Let's arrest everyone who checks out the anarchist cook book.
  5. I respect that she was the most pleasant thing on the otherwise tortorous radio station we were forced to listen to at my restaurant. But, did I mind Kanye West cutting her "THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME THE GRACE TO GET A FAKE AWARD" speech off to provide some entertainment to the world. Granted I didn't see it. But the answer is no.
  6. OMG GMAFB THOSE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS
  7. The absurd thing is the vindication of these awards that by all accounts started out as a joke and are more embarrassingly irrelevant than even the grammys. If this was Taylor Swift's moment in the sun, than a plague on both houses.
  8. I'm sure the heat from soxtalk was really pressuring him.
  9. QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 07:57 PM) Hey if you want to have kids make sure you do it in Brazil or before the laws take effect because I heard Obama wants mandatory castration of all white people. let's not scare the s*** out of me, k. Sex gets girls pregnant?
  10. Have we thought about how much it will suck when health care reform herds us into internment camps and gases us all to death? That might have been unexplored.
  11. sounds like one will be a splinter group
  12. I feel like we're going in circles.
  13. WERE TRYING TO HONOR YOU NOW THAT WE KILLED YOU DONT GET OFFENDED

    I studied all yesterday and have roommates that are helping me with portuguese. I'm actively trying to learn it, without paying for it. Today however, I'm stuck in my room because I don't want to get in some ladies way that is in the family room. Some somebody. Do I think I might stay. If I start making enough where I can stay longer, I will. The tricky bugger is visas. If I just give private lessons I can make more money, $5 more an hour abouts, but if I go to a school there's a chance, maybe there isn't, but I thought there might be, a chance they help me get a work visa. Optimally, i'm here until my brother's wedding down here in Brazil next October (2010). At the very least, I'm here until late november 2009
  15. QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 04:30 AM) And just who is it in these countries that can AFFORD to get private insurance? certainly not everyone. Sure, they have the same opportunity to purchase it, but then private insurance becomes a perk of the wealthy. sounds familiar

  18. QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 02:36 AM) They would likely be laughed at. The Dems still have MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC news all strong pro-Democrat. Now, it may not be the far left wing radical screeching of MSNBC , but they are still pro-Democrat. Would they? They aren't speaking to you. You made your mind up long ago that you think you know what you know blah blah blah... They are speaking to democrats. If democrats start pointing to greenwald, start pointing to mediamatters consistently, saying LOOK AT THE MEDIA THEY ARE DISTORTING THINGS THE OTHER SIDE ARE WHINERS BUT WE WHINE ALL THE TIME OH ME OH MY then well see what that poll represents of democrats views of trust in the media.
  19. If Detroit loses, that would be good news, for us!
  20. QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 15, 2009 -> 12:13 AM) An interesting study on people's view of the news media done by the Pew Research Center. http://people-press.org/report/543/ cable news chart - If the democrats go on a 40 year crusade about how the media is conservative and unfair, then we'll see how that poll looks in 40 years.
  21. I'm not going to sit back and listen to people call a VMA a f***ing award. Also, Jay's album wasn't that good but No ID came with some s***.
  22. I mean there was 1.5 million people there.
