wvParticipantSo Billy, why do you hate God?
Here are my reasons:
He threw us out of Eden because some bimbo ate an apple.
He trick assed Abraham into thinking he had to kill his own son, and then settled for a lamb.
He killed his own son (using his surrogates, The Jews).
Being the creator of the universe, “he” is more of a female, yet he insists on being called “he”.
“I am who am” he sounds like Trump!
I spent most of my childhood afraid of him, only to realize later in life that I should have been more afraid of his priests.
Belief in God has directly led to more death and destruction than anything else we’ve invented (to date).

vNovember 1, 2016 at 3:05 pm in reply to: Nothin would be fina than beatin Carolina … can they do it? #56521wvParticipant.. Fisher gets two more years from me in my MH, and I predict that is what Stan will do.
So as a fan, I am kind of getting sick of Fisher. As a matter of practical strategy for team development, I give him two more years (unless the wheels fall off and he loses the team, and they go 3 – 13, or something unforeseen like that).
—————-
TWO more years, barring a meltdown?So, conceivable he could have, what, SEVEN losing seasons, before Mr Zooey-Management
would fire his devilship? Seven 7-9-bullshit seasons is what it would take?I see.
…well, you do make a good point about the raw rookie QB and what it would mean to HIM,
to have to learn a second pro-system….still….I dunno. I’m pretty sure WV-management would fire Fisher after five losing seasons in a row. I mean, I can understand not winning the NFC title, or winning division championships given Fisher’s bad luck, but five straight flat-out losing seasons would be too much for wv-management. I’d bring in Jack Youngblood. Let him coach the LA Rams. Go ahead, vote against Jack Youngblood. I dare ya.w
vwvParticipantI don’t care if he has a 3rd grade reading level if he hires the right collection of geniuses to attack and solve the Nation’s problems. Another 4 years of watching this Country deteriorate into a politically correct safe haven for litigious self-appointed ‘Champions of the Cause’ who are offended by virtually everything? Yeah, no thank you very much.
I want him to win for no other reason than to keep ‘her’ from appointing those kinds of judges to the Supreme Court.

Wait a minute. Did you not READ the terms of this board? It clearly states that bnw is the authorized, official Trump supporter.Thats his role. You think you can just come in here and stomp all over someone’s

vwvParticipantCase Keenum 77
Granted, Keenum has been playing better than he was early on. Still.
w
vIt has reached the point now where if you average in the 1st 2 games for any Rams offensive stat, you end up with a distorted picture. With some stats, dramatically so. In this case, there’s nearly a 30 point difference between the 1st 2 games & the next 5 games.
CK qb rating
last 5 games: 88.6
season avg all 7 games: 77.5
first 2 games: 59.75———–
I agree, but 88 aint what it used ta be. 88 aint gonna get it done. At least not if you are gonna toss Pick6’s along with yer 88s.I think you agree with that.

If Fisher has a fifth straight losing season, Zooey,
are you gonna be in favor of firing him or keeping him?Just curious.
w
vI don’t know. Circumstances change one’s perspective. But at the moment, I don’t really look at it as 5 straight years of losing because I don’t think the first 4 years count. Nobody could have won in any of those seasons given the personnel and the injuries.
So this is Year One of Losing in my book. I think they should make the playoffs this season. If they don’t, my judgement of Fisher will be affected by how far they fell short of that.
—————–
“The first four years dont count.”
Ya know. There are places in this world,
where if ya said that, you’d be defenestrated. Like, totally.
Probably decorticated, first.Are you serious, btw? The first four years dont count?
I count’em myself. If Fisher’s team loses for the fifth straight year,
I’m marching on the castle.Course I’ve never really felt any warmth for Fisher. I just dont cotton to him as a person.

wvParticipantSpeaking of beasts. Interesting fact about Sharks.

vSharks equipped to handle climate change
By Bo Petersen bopete@postandcourier.com
The apex predators, along with rays and some other fish species evidently use proteins to modify their genes to respond to rapid environmental changes without having to go through the drawn out process of genetic evolution. The staggering finding was made in a study released by researchers from English and Canadian universities.
The finding is not only groundbreaking, it offers a little optimism over the fate of other species as they face off against the environmental stresses of warming sea, air and land. Many, particularly longer-lived species, might be more resilient than believed.
“We hope our findings will open the door for more detailed research on the role the epigenetics (non-evolutionary changes) may play in allowing vulnerable and ecologically important fish to persist through this period of global warming,” said Jack Lighten, University of East Anglia environmental scientist, the study’s lead author.
“It’s really, really cool. This study is exciting,” said Gavin Naylor, College of Charleston biology professor who has studied sharks and rays and is part of a team exploring the adaptive abilities of sharks. It confirms researchers’ suspicion that life forms don’t just evolve but have a “bag of tricks” to adapt to stresses.
“I think that’s exactly what it means. Organisms have a toolbag of responses they use to survive,” he said. The study also explains why any number of species have animals that are starkly different but genetically identical, he said.

vwvParticipantA term I’d never heard before: “Social narcissism”
“Sleepwalking into Oblivion”
(chris hedges)“…Because of this mass indoctrination, we have become infected by what Daniel Boorstin in “The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America” calls “social narcissism.” The bottomless narcissism of Trump and the Clintons caters to this social narcissism. They reflect back to us our desperate longing for, as well as celebration of, entertainment, celebrity, wealth, power and self-aggrandizement. It is not only advertising and public relations, as Boorstin pointed out, that carry out the incessant manufacturing of illusions that feed social narcissism. Journalists, book publishers, politicians, athletes, entertainers, positive psychologists, self-help gurus, the Christian right and talk show hosts all feed the mania for illusion. They all chant the insane mantra that reality is never an impediment to what we desire. We can have anything we want if we work hard, get an education, believe in ourselves, grasp that we are exceptional and see the impossible as always possible. It is magical thinking. And magical thinking is the only real commodity the elites have left offer to us. Make American Great Again. Or American already is great. Take your pick of idiotic clichés…
…
….Candidates Trump and Clinton have no plans to halt our slide to oblivion. They are part of the circus. They, like all of the other elites, profit from the system that is destroying us. They lack the incentive and probably the capacity to challenge the structures and assumptions that define corporate capitalism. They function as high priests. They peddle the illusions. They laud our ingenuity and strength. They preach the inevitability of human progress and American exceptionalism. They tell us what we want to hear. They appeal to our emotions, as does all of mass culture. They do not acknowledge reality. That would spoil the show.Advertisement
We vote for slogans, manufactured personalities, perceived sincerity, personal attractiveness and the crafted personal narratives peddled by candidates. Office seekers create the illusion of intimacy established between celebrities and their audiences. We see ourselves in them; admirers of the “winner” Trump see themselves as becoming him. No politician succeeds without such artifice. Today’s politics is just one more product of a diseased culture. Our political leaders are much like the celebrities who, in Boorstin’s words, “are receptacles into which we pour our own purposelessness. They are nothing but ourselves seen in a magnifying mirror.” ……
…
….at the end we fall into despair and rage. It is why huge parts of the country no longer hold genuine political ideas. It is why people vote according to how they feel. It is why hatred and fear are a potent political platform.It is why we are sleepwalking into oblivion.

vwvParticipantJesus Christ.
You know, I actually started framing the idea of a book, and began taking notes on it in the Spring before realizing late in the summer I was never going to write it. The basic idea was to explore how Greed (1 of the 7 Deadly Sins) is killing us. I was thinking of a chapter on greed’s impact on various aspects of life: education, health care, prisons, biosphere poisoning, democracy, race, media and so on.
We are dead.
Because we are so greedy, we cannot restrain ourselves even when what we are doing to enrich ourselves is self-destructive.
And where is the media? Covering Israel’s movement into Syria? No. US military buildup around Russia and China? No. Standing Rock? No.

I know, Z, I know.
I’ve kinda stopped reading much about the ‘what’ questions. Ya know like what is happening here, and what is happening there — its kinda all the same story.
The question i ask now, mostly, is whether i should even be rooting for humanity TO survive.
I mean, geez, we are the only beings on the planet that are destroying the biosphere.
Why root for ‘that’ species ?Who knows. I got nuthin.
…listen to that long Cornell West vid i posted. That guy asks good questions. Like ‘how can the progressive community keep from getting burned out? And how can anarchists, socialists, progressives, atheists, agnostics, off-the-gridders, dem-liberals, etc — form some unity and create community, etc, etc… Its worth listening to the whole entire thing, i think.

vwvParticipantCitigroup picks Obama’s cabinet. What a shock.

vlink:http://www.truthdig.com/avbooth/item/photo_of_the_week_president_who_let_citigroup_20161029
…“You have a chance to shape history,” President Obama told a crowd of 9,000 people at a campaign stop for Hillary Clinton in Orlando, Fla., on Friday. “Hillary needs your help. I need your help. America needs your help. Let’s get to work.”
Two weeks earlier WikiLeaks revealed how the Clinton/Obama-led corporate wing of the Democratic Party works. An email sent in October 2008 and hacked from the personal account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta showed Citigroup executive Michael Froman submitting names for dozens of positions in then-candidate Obama’s anticipated presidential Cabinet.
“The cabinet list ended up being almost entirely on the money,” wrote David Dayen of the New Republic about the leaked message. “It correctly identified Eric Holder for the Justice Department, Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security, Robert Gates for Defense, Rahm Emanuel for chief of staff, Peter Orszag for the Office of Management and Budget, Arne Duncan for Education, Eric Shinseki for Veterans Affairs, Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services, Melody Barnes for the Domestic Policy Council, and more.”
“For the Treasury, three possibilities were on the list: Robert Rubin, Larry Summers, and Timothy Geithner.”
Geithner ended up as Obama’s treasury secretary, while Summers was a key author of the response to the 2008 recession as director of Obama’s National Economic Council. And these men ensured that Froman’s Citigroup continued to benefit from the largest bailout the federal government gave during the financial crisis… see link
