QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) So explain to me what gun control laws would have accomplished here. You want to make it illegal for a 6 year old to carry a gun to school? Guess what... it already is, in multiple ways. haha, good point

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 09:02 AM) Too bad Biden doesn't get abused the same way Bush or Quayle did, because he totally deserves it. i hate Joe Biden

i typed 'FOX News' into google and found this. was pretty happy with the search results.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 01:00 PM) I don't know if it's even technically possible to blow up a substantial number of enemy satellites without causing a lot of collateral damage to all other satellites. At the speeds we're talking about, the shrapnel produced would tear apart anything it came across. wonder how much it would cost to do something like that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 12:55 PM) You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want? Oh well. France and Britain were not prepared. Gaddafi wins. I can deal with this outcome.

Obama with his endless wars. He really is a disgrace to this fine country.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 04:54 PM) I still stand by my "Polls this far out don't matter one bit" point. That doesn't mean I can't laugh at this PPP data. Trump!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 14, 2011 -> 11:21 AM) Uh, domestic political 'discussion' has seen an awful lot of attacking Obummer we already decided in the GOP thread it's either: Oblahblah or Odumbo

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 05:21 PM) lol, oh Joe. http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2011/04/a...ebt-speech.html Biden is so f***ing clueless

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) And jobs will help this number anyway. got any links to positive job numbers? Last time I was reading about the jobs situation, it really seemed like the UE rate was going down merely due to the fact that so many people had dropped out of the labor market.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2011 -> 03:07 PM) Inflation is the one thing that will kill this comeback. The income effect will devistate families and businesses alike. agreed

WOW WTF!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 06:25 PM) Actually, since the taxpayer also winds up on Medicare eventually, it's quite a bit of savings for the taxpayer... time will tell.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 06:18 PM) Compared to the private market, yeah. for the person on the program. not so much for everyone else (taxpayer). all health care in the US is just overpriced.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) Compared to what happens now (Planned Parenthood) or what happens with neither (no prenatal/preventative care and hospitalizations when things go wrong), yes. affordable like medicare and medicaid?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) Well, they could also get health care through the newly enacted Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 once that is mostly in place. sounds affordable

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 11, 2011 -> 07:37 AM) Which part? The "Closing Planned Parenthood" part? That would remove $0 funding towards abortions and billions of dollars towards other women's health issues. Costs that would of course wind up being paid 10 times over when those same women wind up at the hospital. they can only get health care at planned parenthood? that's weird. honestly, you will get more people on your side without the exaggerations.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 10, 2011 -> 03:12 PM) I cant speak for Bmags, but my position is that definitely anyone who wants to have children can have them. Buy my position is also that anyone who wants an abortion can have one as well. My point was about people who want to remove the choice of abortions from underprivileged people while at the same time not wanting to pay more taxes to support the children that they are forcing people to have. I personally have not seen anyone suggesting that underprivileged people must have abortions, just that they should have the same choices as me, that they can have an abortion if they choose. Isn't it just removing some funding for abortions? How much is the missing subsidy? like $100 per abortion? times are tough and the abortion subsidy was something that was in the budget cuts. personally, i think there should be way more cuts. Defense cuts, close tax loop holes, medicare cuts, medicaid cuts, ect.

raising the debt ceiling fight will be even better than this past one.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 09:16 AM) $8.30/hour is better than $0/hour that all the people that have fallen off unemployment are making. that's true.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 08:47 AM) StrangeSox, does the data show the % of minorities unemployed filtered by specific degree areas? As someone who is a business student, I have had jobs a plenty for my taking even in this economy, because I was constantly improving myself and my resume. Some business students believe that just a degree will get you a job, that one will be handed to you and it's simply not true, but there are so many opportunities for people to take advantage of in college but they don't and they are behind many others by the time they graduate. Also, I brought up the specific degrees because while business degrees may be getting hired right now, journalism degrees most likely aren't. Most of my friends who aren't business/engineering are having a much harder time to find jobs, so it is quite possible that minorities aren't as often going into fields that are in good demand right now. school reputation, degree type, program reputation, and internships play a huge role in someones ability to land a good job after graduation.

Shut it down.
