QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 12:17 PM) I just dont get the whole cheating thing. I wouldnt ever feel the sense of true accomplishment knowing that I cheated. No matter what it was...call me old fashioned. For me it it takes the fun out of winning for myself. Maybe on that type of stage and the convincing of yourself that everyone cheats might make someone delusional about cheating. But at the same time, if everyone else is cheating, all you're doing is playing at a disadvantage if you don't try some tricks of your own.

Even aside from recruiting cheating, I'd be shocked if there wasn't just as much cheating by the top-tier college teams as NFL teams regularly try to get away with. Both are multi-billion dollar businesses.

Tens of thousands of people are fleeing Syria, Iraq and other areas for Europe, trying to escape the war and devastation. The EU is urging member states to accept 160k migrants. The US has accepted some, but there's increasing pressure for us to accept more. Hungary is being particularly terrible in their treatment of refugees crossing through trying to get the Germany, essentially imprisoning them in fenced-in camps and now threatening to arrest anyone who crosses the border (Hungary has a neofascist government in power right now).

Aside from the dreaded purple camera and me occasionally screwing it up with different roms, my HTC One has been doing well for 2 years now.

I see what you mean. '64 and '84 were almost the same split as the overall vote. Going back the last several elections: http://www.ropercenter.uconn.edu/polls/us-...w-groups-voted/ 2012 Overall: 51-47 Women: 55-44 2008 Overall: 53-45 Women: 56-43 2004 Overall: 51-48 Women: 48-51 2000 Overall: 48-48 Women: 54-44 (Gore) 1996 Overall: 49-41-9 Women: 55-38-7 1992 Overall: 43-37-19 Women: 45-38-17 1988 Overall: 53-46 Women: 51-49 1984 Overall: 59-41 Women: 58-42 I think it'd be tough to beet 1996 or 2000's differentials but there's a whole lot to consider between then and now.

Supreme Court to Decide Whether Gays Nationwide Can Marry

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Sep 11, 2015 -> 10:43 AM) Hillary will get the largest percentage of female vote of any candidate ever regardless of the Republican opponent, but nowhere near 95%. Maybe. It'd be hard to top the huge splits from '64 (62-38) or '84 (64-36) that came from those landslide victories, though if anyone could drive that sort of result it'd be Trump IMO. This is going back to April, plus it's September 2015 so polls aren't necessarily worthwhile anyway, but Hillary was falling just short of the '64 margin against several GOP then-frontrunners.

And I will bet you $5k that Hillary isn't in jail.

I would be pretty skeptical if you can't seem to find hardly any information about them.

Greg I will bet you $5000 that Hillary does not win 95% of women voters.

I'm not sure about the impact of me posting on a Chicago White Sox message board will have on Trump's candidacy one way or the other.
-
I am not personally offended by Trump's assholery. But I can't say that I've seen leading presidential primary candidates saying this sort of stuff before, no.
-
Yeah you should be good. I just upgraded my wife's laptop we bought in 2009 to Windows 10 last week.

Microsoft has free upgrades to 10 for all Windows 7 and 8 users.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) I think you can call the guy an asshole, unprofessional, un-Presidential, etc. and I'd agree with you. But the fact that he makes fun of a woman's looks doesn't instantly make him a sexist pig either. Yeah, it pretty much does.
-
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 10, 2015 -> 12:17 PM) Oh, so two wrongs make a right? This only makes sense if you can point to Fiorina making fun of trump's hair. If anything it cuts against what you're saying because other people making fun of Trump's hair isn't an excuse for sexist insults against Fiorina. You're not pointing out a double standard. You're attempting to excuse Trump being an asshole to a rival female candidate and insulting her looks by pointing to other people making fun of Trump's comb-over.
-
Well, that's really the key difference. Women are routinely judged much more than men on their physical appearance, and Trump outright said he wouldn't vote for her because of the way she looks (before later backpedaling like the bold truth-teller that he is). That tu quoque doesn't really address the issue, though. edit: also, what Crimson said. This is the current front-runner of the GOP primary tossing around insults about anyone whom he sees as the opposition left and right. edit2: it will be just as s***ty of him if/when he starts making Christie fat jokes. The guy is just an asshole and a bully with the maturity of a 5th grader.
-
I'm not sure what that's even supposed to mean. Is it okay to make derogatory marks about a female candidate's physical appearance and say you wouldn't vote for her because she's ugly? Was what Trump said somehow not offensive?

More of Trump "just telling it like it is" and "not being PC," tossing misogynist insults at Carly Fiorina and then backpedaling when called on it. So courageous, so refreshing! http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presid...rsona-not-looks

Florida was one of several states that launched an investigation of PP as a result of these videos. They found no evidence of wrongdoing, but Gov. Rick Scott had the language scrubbed in the release that cleared PP. The House Judiciary Committee has also scheduled hearings on the matter. The title they've given shows how objective and meaningful these will be: Planned Parenthood Exposed: Examining the Horrific Abortion Practices at the Nation's Largest Abortion Provider
