Shifty points out the way that we know there is life after death. Just not a conscience life after death that most think about. The thought of life after death is as old as man. It existed before monotheism. Is it some awareness inside of us? Something we just "know" exists, like instinct...

I thought this was a good take: "Who moderates the 2016 debates instead of NBC and CNN could also be problematic. If Rush Limbaugh were to get the nod, the party would likely only push itself further and further into an insular corner. But on a practical level, the RNC accomplished exactly what...

Didn't Will Smith and Gene Hackman star in this movie?

The more I think of this...we should leave, take our bags of money, and nationalize the energy industry. We would be better off and they would not have us poking around in their countries. There may be a flaw or two to this approach I haven't considered.

Good one...forgot about Harrison Ford for some reason. Bruce Willis is my pick.

I appreciate that you feel sorry. I don't know why, but I appreciate it. If you're approach is to focus the small parts of the economy with small impacts, you're free to have at it. You certainly would not be alone. I see this approach being taken in the Federal Government by both sides of...

Dated post from 2009, but I like the quote - "The Fed needs to stick to its knitting and focus on stable money. That’s what’s been missing for ten years under Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke. That’s why we experienced two nasty recessions. And that’s why the stock market has gone nowhere."...

Minimum wage earners are somewhere between 2-3% of hourly earners. I know this is harsh, but I'm not sure why we even discuss artificially manipulating the market for this? I might be singing a different story if I was in the minority of the 2-3% and was trying to support a ****** with this...

Did I ever mention, I think Al Sharpton is a racist?

Thank you, Sir.

I'm not against what you're saying. The Affordable Health Care Act is a bandaid to a bandaid. Medicare patched the system, now this is looking to fill another gap. I think the goal is noble, but it will be problematic. I've had conversations where my buddy used Denmark as a comparison. They...

I loved Aerosmith. I haven't listened to them in eons though. However, when I was in college and would get baked with my buddies passing the bong, Tangerine ***** was the way to go. I think they are unlistenable if I'm sober, but baked...genius.

Listen. Strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords, is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony! You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a ***** at you...

It is a word. It is only given the power that we attach to it. However, we attach quite a bit of power to it. It isn't like the use of "Mick" us folks with Irish Lineage use. At least the "Micks" I know don't have a problem being called a Mick or it being used. The N-word...see? I'm a...

Dirk is one of the handful of people here that I enjoyed. We didn't always agree, but he always had the thoughtful position. He'll be missed, but I hope he comes back.

I apologize. ...but I come for the porn and curiosity takes over on the discussions. I can't do much about my terrible arrogance, my retardation, and my stupid asshole-ness, but I"ll try to be less disgusting.

I'd blow smoke up your ass, if you wanted. :)

The Clinton camp is starting to turn on them. I'm sure they don't want this to mess up chances of 2016. I can't help but think that there is a reason other than love that Huma is supporting this guy. I was beginning to think Hilary may get my vote in 2016. Even though she is a carpet...

There are conspiracy films and web sites that do a pretty good job in either distorting the truth or taking leaps of faith and trying to present them as fact. It can become pretty confusing picking out what is fact and what is spin. Paying attention to sources that are tertiary, but cite the...

I think we don't agree with the historical perspective on it. I think the conspiracy theorists have spun some of this pretty far. The folks and corporations listed did have business dealings with the Nazis. I think for the most part, it was opportunistic business dealings. I also think that...

I took it that way, but what do I know? :dunno:

I'm not going to get into each of these, but being Anti Semitic, a racist, or a business man focused on profit (potentially throwing ethics overboard) doesn't make you a **** or Hitler supporter. Also, being on the wrong side of politics before WWII began for the US doesn't make you friends...

I don't think you are confused. I think you're seeing fairly clearly. If being Republican meant: -Only government where it is needed. -Limit government spending to what is needed -By Limited Government, I mean: to provide for the general welfare and common defense. -Embracing free markets and...

The Beat Goes On... http://www.newsday.com/news/region-state/weiner-i-messaged-up-to-3-women-after-resigning-1.5766690 This isn't real, right? Its a hoax. It has to be.

Interesting commentary on why Detroit went bankrupt. "Free markets and limited government are to blame for the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history." "for the most part the city was just an innocent victim of market ******."...

I"m more of a Twizzlers guy.

Freakin' environment is waging war on us. We should fight back. We just went through a heat wave in NY and I spent a few hours yesterday fighting the weeds in my back yard. ******! ******!

I'm not and wouldn't. I happen to agree with the approach. I hope they're able to follow it. I couldn't give you rep. I like your practical approaches to think.

So, you're saying that if Detroit lowers taxes and other barriers to those who are producing goods and services, it will result in economic growth?

I can't really argue all of that. I think that was discussed during the trial. It looks like the Federal Government is spending time and money to see if Zimmerman's actions were racially motivated. Is it appropriate.? Might be a good discussion. One thing I will strongly argue, Al Sharpton...

Agreed

Wasn't it Bush and Nixon?

I'm a big fan of the intent of the act. As JFK said, "If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich." I would agree that a public option would have been a better path to go down. I'm for anything that creates competition. I'm not a big fan of the...

Seems like all of your links on multiple threads are dead.

Thanks...lol...I didn't know if you meant a porn or not :)

I'll admit...when it comes to the heat I'm a wuss! Sounds like you can take it better than me. I'm a bit jealous. I melt. As I've gotten older I just screw the environment up more with air conditioning every thing. Mea culpa! :)

Disclosure - 1994 with Mike Douglas and Demi Moore ???

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. I think it was heading in a bad direction before the US "entered" the war. The Japanese didn't do any favors to Hitler though.

Don't blame you. Not one bit. Off the freakin' rails. We disagree on my next comment - I feel the same about the Democrats too. I don't need a "viable" third party since I don't consider the two major parties viable. Guess the NY heat wave has me cranky today.

Yes, and to my point(s) before: -Who makes money on the bonds that were sold for Detroit? Certainly not the investor. They will be the first to lose. Wall street...and of course the city who just took the money. -Who will pay, if there is a bailout? If the federal government bailed them...

GW got my vote for the first term, but not the second term. Too much of this BS going on. I'd like to think that the Constitution means something. Seems like president after president simply ignore what they want for their own gain. I want an idealist. I'm tired of after the last 21...

I wonder. There is so much we don't know. Is this a Hispanic/Black racial thing? I don't know. Who really confronted who first and what was said? I have no idea. I agree with the President, respect the judicial system. I'm not sure that is being done, however. It seems like people are...

Well, executing Operation Barbarossa without defeating England (Sea Lion) was the beginning of the end.
