Re: Michael Brown

one of the problems here is, as far as I have read, that we don't really know what happened. At this point how can we really find out the truth?

Re: Michael Brown

A side note...the term "reverse" racism is BS to me...black people don't have the power to be racist...prejudice yes, racist no. There is a distinct difference...[/quote]


I'm curious to know how black people can't be racist. Or why you think black people don't have the power to be racist.

This seems to be true. There seems to be a lot of drug and alcohol abuse.

Re: hi-impact video w/ correct quality

relapse was basically years and years of janes fans pent up waiting exploding at the mere thought of a janes reunion .. after that everyone realized it just is not the same without eric, and the interest waned .. unfortunately the crowd response during relapse is part of the reason the remaining ja...

Re: hi-impact video w/ correct quality

I was at the first Hammerstein relapse show in NYC Oct 30th. Does anyone know if MTV taped both the 30th and the 31st or if there was a substantial difference between the nights? My memory was the 30th was magical and perfect. Having only the 31st show video of the "MTV Live at the 10 Spot" I belie...

Just to start off, yes Romeo I'm calling it obamacare. People's views, thoughts and possible dealings with it. This latest ruling I find very interesting and the right call. The law does in fact state that subsidies can only be given to those using state exchanges so the government must obey the law...

Re: What politician do you hate the most?

I try to think of politicians as nothing more than place-fillers for positions that voters, courts, media, independent watchdogs, etc., are tasked with continually checking for corruption. The people can't generally be relied upon to pick the best candidates for any of these positions, but with org...

Tvrec you are right I've been going after Obama and yes I can't stand him, but also because he is in office. Also the president should be held to a higher standard and if the president lies it is a very big deal. I 100% agree that we should go after everyone of them, politicians, that lies. It seems...

I agree, LJF, that our leaders, whichever party they may belong to, need to be questioned and held accountable. On this particular issue, I don't think there is much of a which hunt at all, for it's barely in the news at all unless you listen/watch a news station with an express agenda to drum it up...

This thread has gone off track since LJF's invocation of the IRS "scandal," unless the bulk of comments since are directed at "overlord Obama," and we've already bandied back and forth on the IRS "targeting" issue long ago. While we're back on it, though, I don't think many people other than those ...

That was a bullshit game. Italy never should have played for the draw, but the red card was bullshit on Marchisio and no red on Suarez for biting. Sorry but that is shit. One of my team is out now onward and upward for the US.
