Drug Deaths in America Are Rising Faster Than Ever
RockRaines replied to StrangeSox's topic in The Filibuster
QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 04:24 PM) There was a WBEZ report 2 years ago called heroin highway specifically around Neuqua Valley, which had just seen some obscene number like 5 or 6 overdose deaths in a class. Part of it was a mom whose daughter had overdosed looking back and realizing that she had been at the movies with her daughter and friends, and they'd sit in a separate row. Later found out they were doing heroin, basically next to her. Hard listen. They drive down 88 to 290, stop off on the west side, score and drive back all f***ed up. It happens all day every day. -
I use it, but also mostly for music. I have a dot in my room that I use for things like alarm clock, morning briefing, check the train schedule etc. You can fully customize it using ifttt.com and do some interesting script type things. For example when my alarm goes off or when I turn off my house alarm, it turns on my lights downstairs. When I get on my wifi driving in the driveway it turns off my alarm and turns on the lights. Things like that.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 03:17 PM) Pruitt said they have added about 50,000 coal mining jobs since the 4th quarter last year. That number is slightly off. They added 1,000. For all the importance these idiots are putting on coal, more people work at Disney World than are coal miners. Considering Trump saved millions of jobs and billions of dollars during his recent trip, maybe he can find the coal miners alternative employment. Arby's is a largest industry than coal. They are a joke

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Jun 6, 2017 -> 03:24 AM) I guess all the evidence they have so far is "fake news" then???? Yes, and when you present all of the indicators they will call it fake news or ask for "real evidence." Russians could admit it happened and they wont believe it.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 01:00 PM) If one of the only sources about it is Katie Hopkins. A person who recently called for a "final solution" for Muslims. Maybe it's time to let that hot news story go. She an evil piece of s***.

I know that OSU has more money than almost every athletic department in the country, but LOL. He's also full of s***. Shoulda got Archie months ago. Stupid. -

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 5, 2017 -> 01:07 PM) Rumors this morning were that he would step down at the end of the upcoming season. A little surprised it's now. It should have been 3 months ago if they wanted a shot at Archie. I assume they'll go the interim route this season and then look for a replacement after next season. edit: wow, sounds like this was OSU's decision. If so, what a dumb move not doing this earlier when prime candidates were available. Rumors were from Bucknuts which is always wrong. his health is f***ed. He cant travel to recruit. If he landed some of the players he was after the last few months he probably would have stayed. But he didnt, so hes gone. Its time. -
QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 09:36 PM) God I hate responses like this. We are literally dealing with organized evil and people like you make light of it because the odds of it ever impacting you directly is small. So in your opinion, dont deal with the things that are MORE likely to hurt and kill us because of......well I guess I dont get your point at all.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 4, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) I also don't understand his gun angle, to me if these guys had guns and not knives, the death toll and injuries would have only been higher, but NRA, NRA. UK has gun control laws and have about 55 gun deaths a YEAR. He is incapable of even simple research.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 2, 2017 -> 01:47 PM) Rock, with all the bullets you dodge daily living in and working in Chicago, we are fortunate you are still with us. Now you have to worry about being beheaded too I actually drive through the west side on my bike several times a week, havent been hit yet.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 1, 2017 -> 01:32 PM) The Arianda Grande concert incident could have happened here. North Korea is getting ready to fire bombs our way. We have a president who is too aggressive, some might say crazy. You have ISIS bastards capable of doing anything including beheading you whether you believe it or not. I still don't buy the stats. You think Chicago is safe? Let's hope this summer things settle down in Chicago compared to last summer. All the murders. Advil kills more americans than ISIS, so yes.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 2, 2017 -> 12:59 PM) I have zero sympathy for either party. Kathy made her bed, now she has to lie in it. she should have known what kind of reaction this would generate. Tough s*** Depending on who the next president is, she may get invited to the white house. Right Ted?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 2, 2017 -> 08:44 AM) China is still considered a developing country, and their Gini index is fairly close to the US'em. Their per capita GDP doesn't meet developed country definitions. The idea behind giving developing countries assistance is that the developed countries have already gotten to reap the benefits of building their economies in cheap, dirty energy and that it's in everyone's best interest to help these developing countries to modernize and expand with cleaner technologies. Pence: Yeah it sure is a mystery why "the left" cares about a serious problem that is already having global impacts that will only get worse. And it's not so much "the left" as it is "the entire rest of the world," unless that was a tacit admission from pence that the GOP is a radical party that's to the right of literally every other country on the planet. Just about every conservative group globally believes in climate change, well except for the US.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 25, 2017 -> 10:38 PM) Yeah, but in game 7 overtime, you don't have to be better, just luckier. It's been a fun game. I'm calling Daley or Stalberg with the winning goal. Great game but the better team won I've got Nashville in 6
