  1. Good job reading the first paragraph. Just like my students, I swear.
  2. Huh. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/saving-normal/201303/prison-or-treatment-the-mentally-ill
  3. So...you guys think this guy is normal? Really? That's concerning. Here is the original article, which has details: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/british-man-pleads-guilty-in-donald-trump-attempted-attack-case/ Prison is not a smart option for for people with these types of problems. It's more expensive and does nothing to solve the problem, typically making things worse. They need mental health care.
  4. That's great, I'm really happy for the kid. Now I'm going to go jump off a bridge because the Giants bullpen has blown leads in 6 out of the last 10 games.
  5. I would imagine he has some sort of mental illness, is prison even the right place for him? Has the US worked with the UK over this? The article is pretty light on details.
  6. That means you do care. Because neither Clinton or Trump are going to leave the rest of the world alone.
  7. Bit surprised by the Jill Stein votes, she gets very little mention by folks here.
  8. Johnson is winning, of course. I know we have some Trump supporters around here somewhere. Get out and vote!
  9. I have 4 of those sitting in my medicine cabinet right now. They are pretty standard for illnesses, surgeries, and asthma.
  10. Ah yes, all successful athletes must be using PED's. How else do we explain them being better than us at stuff.
  11. I hope Russian hackers don't find out I use an inhaler for seasonal allergies, I might get banned from my rec hockey league.
  12. Yeah but cloak is for cheaters. (I used the cloak too. )
  13. It's not a good bill. It's a tragic situation, but this is misplaced blame. It's the same thing with victims of gun violence going after gun makers.
  14. Did you try the Beyond Earth expansion? I heard it made it a lot better, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to throw more money at it.
  15. This joke has taken on a different look...
  16. You are free to pray, but when an authority figure creates a situation where a group is expected to pray, that violates your rights as an individual.
  17. As I said before, Clinton is clearly the kind of person that will work herself to death. Admirable that she is so committed to her goal, but not exactly ideal if she is already having health issues before the election. The job doesn't get easier.
  18. To be fair, Larian has always had 'quirky' writing. It's bad, but in a campy way.
  19. don't doubt you, man, but if that's the case, why not say it directly to the mic instead of having it caught on a hot mic by accident? Most people talk differently in one on one conversations than in speeches and interviews. This was about missile defense, I believe. The way to tell if this was some shadowy deal is pretty simple, did something sketchy happen with the missile defense plan?
  20. Actually I could totally see a Yoga Simulator working.
  21. Huh, did not expect the Raiders to pull that off, that was a good game.
  22. That's just common sense, it isn't cryptic. Of course he has more flexibility after he has been elected for a second term. He know longer needs to worry about being elected, his campaigning days are behind him. People chasing shadows.
  23. I took my dog in for neutering a couple days ago. He seems pretty upset about it. They also gave me a cone to keep him away from the stitches. They kept calling it an e-cone, and I have no idea why. I thought it was called the cone of shame. He's recovering well though.
  24. I think it is a terrible misstep for Clinton to go full bore on the name calling. Trump is better at it than her.
  25. I actually think Nixon is a better person than the majority of our politicians today, based on two facts. In 1960 the election was extremely close between him and JFK, and he could have challenged the outcome, there was plenty of whispers of fraud that might have turned the tide. He chose not to, he didn't want to come across like a sore loser. Then, after Watergate, he chose to resign. I can't even imagine a politician doing that today. Those both struck me as kind of honor among thieves moments.
