QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 05:12 PM) See also; tax code. Meh, apples to oranges, the Constitution isn't that specific about taxes other than to say Congress has the authority to tax and the dreaded income tax etc. whereas this one is in the bill of rights pretty explicitly and doesn't say "except" (Full disclosure, I can be seen as a hypocrite because I think Aulaqi was a piece of s*** who was a problem in search of a solution, and I don't think what happened was a travesty)

Also I want people to stop acting like they just finished reading the Wiki entry for "false flag" and start making some sense or at least speak in coherent sentences.

You don't get to decide which American citizens get rights - start doing that, and yours are not far behind. And when that happens, you deserve it. This is pretty cut and dry, it's not even something more esoteric like debating what to do with Gitmo detainees. This one's settled, in black and white, and the fact that it's even up for debate is kind of creepy. People wanna talk about the government being the ones to take their rights but they're ready to give them away.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2013 -> 02:36 PM) Its funny how reaction to stuff varies based on which amendment we are talking about. Well, it'd really help if people read the Bill of Rights past the Second Amendment.

QUOTE (SnB @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 05:16 PM) American society would take a giant step forward if all news sites could get rid of the comment trolls and delete them from existence. They're the worst. I like my version better.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 05:08 PM) Apparently they did indeed cut cell service to prevent more detonations I saw that right after I made my post.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) Ah, good point. Also to prevent remote detonation of other devices

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 04:53 PM) We have one co worker running a 4:16 pace that we cant find. There is a chip/tracking system for individual runners but I can't remember the URL for it off the top of my head. ETA: http://www.baa.org/individual.html

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 04:32 PM) Right now the BPD are probably flooded with reports of suspicious looking packages and bags. Anything and everything is getting called in. 99.9% will be nothing. People will be calling the police for a UPS box they weren't expecting right now. Plus, a lot of people in the crowd probably had bags and dropped them after the first blast. Absolutely true. After the Hassan shooting at work we got a lot of reports by well-intentioned people who report a suspicious comment their coworker made back in 2007.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 04:29 PM) I accidentally saw a few on deadspin. Jesus Christ is right. I think it was CNN that I was looking at, theirs are worse.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 04:17 PM) The negative part of the internet at times like this. So many people just throw info out there without confirming anything. And article comments. Jesus Christ, don't read article comments.

Hard to tell verified information from rumor at this point, but I saw that the bombs had ball bearings in them and that there were secondary devices found? Which would target first responders. That smells like terrorism.

So much blood all over the place.

There's no Luck, or RGIII in this draft. KC doesn't even know how to suck properly.

I'm pretty glad more people are figuring out Michelle Rhee is a fraud, though.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 15, 2013 -> 12:41 PM) August 1, 2007 After Posada hit his second homer, Sox pitcher Charlie Haeger, a knuckleballer, hit Cano with a pitch and was immediately ejected by plate umpire Tom Hallion. The White Sox haven't had much luck with this umpiring crew - Chicago manager Ozzie Guillen and Paul Konerko were ejected Tuesday night for arguing balls and strikes. Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball...2#ixzz2QXykbmlG Yeah I remember that and I got into an argument with Yankees fans on the sporting news website when they had comments. They all insisted it was intentional. Umm... a 65 mph knuckleball to plunk someone with? A KNUCKLEball?

It was crashing today, looks like the bubble has burst or is about to.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 04:49 PM) Are those hats just supposed to make them look taller? because i can't see any functionality in those things sitting on top the head like a chia toupe Probably just for ceremonies and whatnot

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 04:46 PM) The privatization testing regime? Or the rejection of it? I'm not sure what you're referring to here. Me either, the context of that could either be agreeing or disagreeing

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 03:47 PM) Lost, Jefferey has enough speed to stretch the field (hes put up sub 4.4), so I dont think it would make sense to draft a wr in the first round. Id be fine with Ertz or Eiffel (whatever the ND guys name is). I really think that a good/great TE can have a large impact on the offensive line, because it makes the other team think. When you have a guy like Kellen Davis, no one cares. They arent telling lbs/de to chip him, to worry about him. But once you have a real TE threat, it makes the other defense have to respect that position, which can often times relieve some pressure on the OL. I think the Bears could go in a lot of directions, I just think WR is one of the least likely. You can find speedy undersized wrs later in the draft because most teams arent going to use a 1st on them. He's in the upper 4.4s - he's not slow, but he doesn't have breakneck speed either. That was a big concern going into the draft he had to answer and probably hurt his draft stock, along with concerns about his weight and motivation (turned out to be unfounded). He's a first-round talent though. But you're right, you can find a guy on the second or third day for the role the Bears need. But ideally you'd like to be able to flip that guy out to flanker once in a while and bring Marshall or Jeffery into the slot from time to time.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 04:39 PM) But it could conceivably lead to a national registry some day maybe! And those would be clearly unconstitutional, just like we don't have voter registries for an even more important right! The government doesn't need a f***ing database to do that, Mr. NRA Lifetime Member Bumper Sticker Guy and Mr. Amazon Purchase History Full of Gun Books Person or Mr. Buys a Metric f***ton of Gun Accessories on eBay Dude. It's 2013, do they really think they are that hard to identify?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 12, 2013 -> 04:05 PM) This is not a joke, this is a legitimate Republican politician's campaign sticker: This is the kind of thing you say when you troll conservative Facebook pages to see what kind of stupid people are going to agree with you and see how far you can go with it before they realize you're mocking them.

Please show me where the "no background checks" clause is in the Constitution? Someone? Anyone? I wish stupidity was physically painful.

Man, bunch of meatball posts in this thread the last few pages

Great! Let's s***can this standardized testing system garbage we've been using for 12 years and start actually teaching them, not trying to make them into mindless hive drones.
