QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 06:06 PM) So does this mean that when Romney wins the White House

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 04:19 PM) They all agreed on it as well as their president and chairman. I dont see the point. PSU's very own investigation gave the NCAA all it needed to rule on their sanctions, that is all the process they required. The NCAA sent them a notice of investigation and PSU never responded to their allegations. PSU has proven time and time again they are just ridiculously stupid. How many of us on here have been through NCAA sanctions or the firing of a coach? And how many rioted? But Tressel was removed for his heinous crime of allowing his players to sell stuff. Who would want to embarrass themselves rioting over that?

Usain Bolt was hanging out with the Swedish Women's Handball Team until 3AM

The BBC broadcast team thought that handball call was questionable.

and gets the goal to tie it up 3-3 at 79'

Penalty shot coming up for the US after Canada hand-balls on a free kick

and Canada back up at 72'

And tied back up! edit: at 70'

Canada back up 2-1

Movie's been out for several weeks now, are they still necessary?

Celtic Cross? Confederate flag guitar strap? "14"? A f***ing NAZI flag? Why is this even a question?

Guy's pretty clearly a white supremacist

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 10:55 AM) LOL - this is a definitively stupid statement. You can't claim fact based on opinion. Opinions can be wrong. Especially something as silly as "TDKR is the best movie ever"

Why were they so concerned about a fusion bomb, anyway? Was Bruce Wayne ignorant of hydrogen bombs?

So I'm watching the Canadian feed of the Olympics and just saw a hilarious War of 1812 commercial, talking about how Canadians and Brits stood shoulder-to-shoulder to fight off those invading yanks.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 09:36 AM) The crazy thing is Bolt was awful out of the blocks. If he gets out quickly, he smashes his world record. Watching him close the race when he was at top speed is just amazing. He makes three or four less steps over the course of the race.

TV news has always had these "personal interest"-type stories.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 03:19 PM) You haven't answered my question. Which of the candidates opposing Romney in the primaries was even close to a reasonable contender? Romney was the weakest candidate...except for all the other pathetic candidates. Rick Perry may have worked if he didn't completely self-destruct.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) Balta you are way smarter about me than politics. But you think it will not be a landslide election? Come on. It is going to be the biggest rout in the history of elections. Will Romney win one state? Of course. Kansas always goes Republican, but that wlll basically be it. LOL Obama has no hope in hell of just about any Southern state and certainly not Utah. This will not be a Reagan-Mondale repeat. I'd be surprised if Obama's Electoral College margin is wider than 2008.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 07:43 PM) And we are, duh, thank you Justice Roberts for defining that for us. 90%+ of people aren't paying more taxes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 06:50 PM) And the question winds up being...which of those are important enough for you to do something...like vote. It's not just the extremists on TV. There's a reason why we think of "religious people" in this country as overwhelmingly anti gay...it happens to be true. Throwing up your hands and saying "Not me" and then following it up with "I can't figure out why the media portrays religious people as gay-hating" and "I can't figure out why young people don't flock to the church these days", as has happened in this thread...is a wonderfully ironic combination. Why don't those so-called moderate muslims denounce Al Q in the media?!

I'm not staying up until 12:30 to find out if it smashed into Mars or not.
