wvParticipantAll I can really say is, what he did, just doesn’t help things. It was miscalculated.
It will be divisive in the worst way possible and will not contribute well to much needed discussion.
————-
I totally disagree. I think it does help things, and will contribute to the much-needed
discussion in a positive way.w
vwvParticipantSo far so good, regarding injuries in the preseason. Nothing devastating yet.
Which means, of course, we are in for a major ACL-storm
in game four.w
vAugust 30, 2016 at 8:24 am in reply to: If you're tired of good news, I have something to depress you #51885wvParticipantYup, thats Nafta and the TPP.
The corporate-media aint into little ‘details’ like that though.

vwvParticipantYes, GOT has many quiet non-battle, non-soap-opera scenes that are quite good. Like that one, with Stannis.
Good dialogue on that show.
w
vYes. Though I find it to be a bit up n down, though I don’t mind that fact. Some scenes are just poorly done. (I generally find those scenes in the Daenerys narrative. I know I am supposed to like that narrative, but I don’t as much.) (Which, again, is fine.)
————-
Yes, up and down.
I find the actress who plays Daenerys to be the weakest link
in the whole series. She is no Meryl Streep.
Maybe its the writing, but I think its mainly her.
I also think her captain of the Unsullied was miscast.
No way that skinny kid would be in charge of a band of spartan warriors.w
vwvParticipantYes, GOT has many quiet non-battle, non-soap-opera scenes that are quite good. Like that one, with Stannis.

vwvParticipantWell I’ve been waiting for the first QB to fall.
Winter is coming.

vwvParticipantOne has the impression the front four will be anywhere from good to great,
as long as Q is healthy (big IF, btw)But replacing laurinaitus with Ogletree,
and losing McCleod, has me thinking the D will
be kinda inconsistent, at least at first.I am hoping they will be good in the redzone. Seemed
like last year they really tightened up in the redzone.
Gave up a lot of yards but not so many points. Am i remembering
that right?w
vwvParticipantWe don’t have a moose lady doing the good work of collecting road kill to give to the poor that I’m aware of.

vAugust 27, 2016 at 12:24 pm in reply to: Paul Wolfowitz 'might have to vote' for Hillary Clinton #51707wvParticipantWell, i am not convinced he’d be worse than Bush, and I’m not convinced ANYONE really
knows what Trump would do but I no longer think he’s relevant. And we all know where we stand on Trump. Nobody has changed anybody’s mind about that the billionaire.But, He cant win, now. Its over. He’s toast. I doubt we see his like again — the Reps will never allow that to happen again, i would think. They will have four years to figure out just what kind of algebra they need to bring their shattered party together.
I’m much more interested in what Hillary will do. The annointed neoliberal-hawk.

vwvParticipantThat was a good article.
Will this defense be better or worse
than last years?w
vwvParticipantInvasion Biology stipulates that the species most ecologically similar to the invading species will face the greatest competition from the invading species.
——————-
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/alien-invasion-ecologist-doubts-exotic/“…Earlier this spring, he published a bombshell of a book with Oxford University Press called Invasion Biology. Davis claims that alien species have been demonized and resources wasted on purported “invasives” could be better spent protecting habitat. More than that, he disputes the maxim that invasive species are the second-leading cause of species endangerment after habitat destruction, impacting some 42 percent of threatened and endangered species. Such concerns are particularly timely as ecologists debate the risks of relocating species to save them from climate change. In June, one reviewer wrote that Davis “dares to touch the third rail of invasion biology,” slaughtering some of its “sacred cows.”..

But we can stop him. Sound the alarm. Make sure your friends and neighbors understand that Trump is not just another conservative candidate. Donald Trump is dangerous. And the one thing that could allow him to succeed is complacency and low voter turnout in the most important election of our lifetimes.
—————–
Well it might be that Trump and the “alt-right’s” biggest harm,
was that it allowed eight more years of neoliberalism to run the empire.I mean, Trump cant win, but maybe the threat of Trump and the alt-right will
drown out any alternatives to Hillary and Neoliberals. Ya know. “Get in line and vote for the neoliberals or the Evil-Alt-Right will win…” I mean they can play that game for the next quarter of a century, right? I dunno.w
vAugust 26, 2016 at 12:04 pm in reply to: Alex Jones and the Nephilim who still roam the Earth #51639wvParticipantTo me, it’s not an exaggeration to call these people fascists and white supremacists. It’s who they are. Maybe they wear suits instead of white sheets or brown shirts, but that’s essentially who they are.
————
Ok but what kind of mind would call the sandyhook massacre a false flag?To me its less about fascism, than mental-illness. The guy is a type of paranoid,
in my view. Which again, doesn’t mean he’s wrong about everything.Who knows though. Thats just how i see him.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: From that fateful day when stinking bits of slime first crawled from the sea and shouted to the cold stars, “I am man.”, our greatest dread has always been the knowledge of our mortality. But tonight, we shall hurl the gauntlet of science into the frightful face of death itself. Tonight, we shall ascend into the heavens. We shall mock the earthquake. We shall command the thunders, and penetrate into the very womb of impervious nature herself.August 25, 2016 at 2:21 pm in reply to: South Africa's white sharks may be headed to extinction #51598wvParticipant“Within three years, all the great white sharks off the shore of Gansbaai will be gone, mark my words,” Rutzen says.

vwvParticipant“Donald Trump, in my opinion, is God’s prosecuting attorney. He’s laying out the evidence…”
Donald prosecutes em’ then Buffy executes em’. Those demons don’t stand a chance.
Trump seems to attract a disproportionate amount of support from the unhinged.
—————–
The thing that gets me though, is how a lot of these mentally-ill folks get ‘some’ things right. I mean, i remember reading some of that stuff the Unibomber wrote, and he got some of it right. Charles Manson got some things right in an interview i read not too long ago. Alex Jones gets some things right. Even Zooey, sometimes gets some things right.
Even the unhinged seem to have some insight…it just gets mixed in with all kinds of
twisted-ness. Or somethin.w
vwvParticipantThe Zesto does have a strange amount of popularity – probably crooked in some sweet innocent way. The grandkids lobby me to hit the Zesto every day they’re in town. They were offering coconut sherbert as the flavor of the week – I tried it for the last time.
I know a lobbyist for petroleum distributors(gas stations) in SD. She’s a Viking fan as well so that’s already two strikes. She invited me and the wife to the Governor’s inauguration a few years back. I politely thanked her and told her I probably wouldn’t fit in much.

I am an unpaid, volunteer, lobbyist for PDOMACC (Peoples Democratic Organization of Misanthropes Against Corporate Capitalism).
I haven’t been invited anywhere, but I’ve raised over three dollars

vwvParticipantStone knapping and tool use isn’t known among any saber-toothed cats and Smilodon most likely couldn’t make fire because its lack of opposable thumbs would prevent it from striking a match.
————-
Yes of course. I meant to say Saber-Toothed Chickens. It was the chickens that hunted in packs, with flaming arrows.
As every well-read first grader knows, The fossil record suggests,
many of them wore corsets. Which is just plain weird. Still, one doesnt
argue with the fossil record.w
vwvParticipant“Smilodon, dire wolves, and other beasts of prey actually defended the plants – vegetation has no greater friend than a predator. That’s how large carnivores have been keeping the world green for millions of years , and I hope that our species can yield them the space to keep doing so.”
Saber-toothed Tigers were plant-defenders?
Never thought of it like that.
The article didnt make it clear. Were the big tigers pack animals or did
they hunt alone? If they hunted in packs i would think they could indeed
bring down the big full-grown Mammoths.On Game of Thrones there was clear evidence that Mammoths could be stopped
by shooting flaming arrows at their rectums. Seems to me, a pack of Smilodons
with arrows could probably bring down a fullgrown Mammoth. Just speculating, of course.w

wvParticipantMakes me envision video’s of crappy surfers trying to ride giant waves.
I had a history professor in college that one day jokingly exclaimed “Your parents ruin the first half of your life and then your kids ruin the second half!” I’m not sure why this comes to mind but the hopelessness of this story is kind of overwhelming.
So, here in my own little world I’m gonna do something to make me feel good this afternoon. I’ll take the available grandkids to the Zesto for ice cream.

Ok, but I bet Zesto has a gazillion lobbyists throwing
money and ice-cream around in Washington D.C.I bet SD Ram has a pack of Lobbyists as well.

to recognize this TRUTH — Keenum starts and plays one quarter.
Goff plays the next two quarters. Mannion plays the last quarter.w
vwvParticipantGreed.
Yep. As many of you know, I live in the BA. I felt for the fans in LA in 94 and I feel for the fans in the STL today. Let’s face it…we’re all pawns for dollars. This is the reason why I don’t buy much NFL gear. A hat here, maybe a jersey there. I do spend the dinero for Sunday Ticket..every other year, when I can threaten them with Comcast or ATT Uverse and get it for free. And when I do see the Rams live here in the South Bay, I drink a few beers pre game and they’re lucky to get $20 for the two I buy in the stadium.
See, back in the 80’s my dad told me stories about Georgia Frontiere. As told to him by Marv Goux, the defensive line coach under Robinson. They had a bond. Goux knocked out my dad in a high school practice at Santa Barbara High in the late 40s.
I cannot go into detail, since teams monitor every board, even a small one like this one. I found this out a couple years ago, to my great consternation.
It’s all about greed in sports. Even the Olympics. Nobody’s hands are clean. The players, the owners, the fans.
Greed.
Fuck em all. But I’m still gonna watch.

Coal Lobbying Groups Losing Members as Industry Tumbles
Report shows companies are leaving the National Mining Association and the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, some because of the groups’ climate stance.https://insideclimatenews.org/news/23082016/coal-lobbying-groups-losing-members-industry-tumbles
At least 18 major companies—and perhaps nearly twice that many—have ended their memberships in two of the nation’s top coal lobbying groups, the National Mining Association and the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity since 2009, according to research by the Climate Investigations Center (CIC), an environmental advocacy group.
Volvo Construction Equipment North America publicly announced its departure from the NMA during the Paris climate talks last December, citing opposition to the group’s anti-climate action lobbying. “We do not share the NMA’s view on climate change nor their opinion about the politics on climate change driven by American policy,” it told the environmental group Greenpeace. SFK, a Swedish manufacturer, made a similar public pronouncement….see link
wvParticipantwvParticipantGood article, but it left out one group that still exists in St.Louis — the group of St.Louis locals who will still follow the Rams on tv.
There were plenty of LA locals who followed the Rams after the move,
and there will be plenty of St.Louis fans who will still follow the Rams.
They aren’t all like Karraker.w
