I am a little sympathetic to the idea that you don’t want to participate in the responsibilities of living in the United States; you just want to be left completely alone. But you don’t then get to take part in the benefits (like public roads or anything paid for or supplied by taxpayer...

Brady is certainly not just a system QB. With that said, Belicheck did take the Browns to the playoffs and win a playoff game.

I pretty much agree. Greatest and best aren't necessarily the same thing. Brady is the most accomplished and one of the best QB's of all time making him pretty unquestionably the Greatest. But in terms of just ability and play on the field, Rodgers is better. In kind of a related tangent, I...

There's no way you can say that Bird was boring unless you've never seen video of him playing. He was a great scorer, maybe the best passer the game has seen, and definitely the greatest shit-talker in the history of basketball.

I actually can appreciate the differences in what you're saying. They may appear to be fine lines, but there is a chasm between the mentalities. One is a preparedness issue and the other is almost a paralysis through paranoia. I am about the biggest "gun nut" around and I have no problem with...

Then how do you define talent?

This is the largest contributor from what I've read. Many of the diseases that developed in Europe and Asia were a direct result of having and living with domesticated animals. The American didn't have any real plague level diseases because there were almost no domesticable animals over here...

I was responding to two falsehoods you stated in your first post, not even debating whether or not he would be paid. Secondly, I did join and served 5 honorable, active duty years in the United States Marine Corps, so you can shut down that line of criticism against me.

If you pay very close attention, even you may see that my post did not address compensation or money. You said that he was neither charged nor convicted; both statements are false.

He was charged, plead guity, and was sentenced for desertion. The bullshit lenient punishment doesn't take away the fact that he is legally guilty.

First I lived in a town with a population of 192. When I was 8, we moved out into the country, because my old man didn't like being around that many people.

The Iraqi regular standing military fell in weeks, but the insurgency has lasted 15 fuckin years (which would be more analogous to a domestic American uprising, like the one being discussed here). Second I would like to address the arguements put forth by those that think a rebellion would be...

There's no excuse for not having seen Deadwood.

Exactly, I agree with the decision. It basically says that the state can't stop you from having whatever stance you want. But they aren't obligated to use state funds or property to help you. If you want a Sons of the Confederacy bumper sticker, go right ahead. No free speech issue here.

The complete lack of Johnny Cash invalidates the list. The stuff he did with the American Recordings series was great.

I'm glad they exist, religious freedom arguments aside, they generally do a better job of educating than public schools. The children in the private Christian schools (it may be true for schools of other faiths, but I'm familiar only with Christian schools) get more attention and tutoring and...

Mine is much better that it was 5 years ago. I was working a shitty job just biding time. Now I'm eagerly awaiting my end of active service from the Marine Corps in a few months, married, and looking forward to finishing my degree. It's been a good 5 years.

That was fantastic, but I think the beautiful Violence with which he beat Franklin the second time might be better. That was the first time that I have seen MMA seem like poetry. He hit Rich with every limb at every level and made it look easy.

Oh, and there were parts of the barrel scene that completely took me out of the movie. Most of it was rendered with very sweeping CGI, but there were scenes thrown in that looked like they were filmed with a $100 go pro camera by a bad kayaker.

I think the way they treat Bilbo is a detriment to the movies. Hobbits are set up as much more festive and light hearted, though good hearted people (I thought the opening of The Fellowship movie did an excellent portrayal of Hobbit life and culture). But In The Hobbit movies, I feel that they...
