This is a great post, but I still cringe when I see that 60% figure. The question was, “Is it the responsibility of the federal government to make sure that all Americans have health care coverage?” That is not the same thing as “Do you support single-payer healthcare?” (I’m not suggesting that you’re drawing that…

Drive toward the cloud. You don’t want to survive nuclear holocaust.

In a film full of remarkably safe, fanservicey decisions, saving Luke until the end was an admirably bold piece of storytelling restraint, and it was executed beautifully.

ignore the idiots you have a right to feel your feelings and experss them as much as they do.

No, but popping in to tell people you aren’t said when someone dies is always the wrong move.

We’re already at war in Afghanistan, no need to go through congress every time we drop a bomb.

Because it’s the only approved word processing software at my employer.

Unfortunately, the technically do have the legal right, it’s there in the tiny print of an airline ticket. It was an incredibly stupid strategy as everyone has observed. It was a valid protest by this customer that may prompt an overdue review of passenger rights with regard to the airlines ability to overbook…

They’ll respond “if you don’t want to get the crap beat out of you by united airlines you can fly a different airline. No one forced you to fly united”

They absolutely DID have the right to remove him from the flight. Airlines absolutely have the right to bump passengers, and, if there aren’t volunteers, they can bump them, and pay them legally defined compensation ($675-1350, depending on the price of the ticket and length of the delay, in cash).

If tiny business suits are the only other things besides leggings in a 10 year olds wardrobe, sure? Obviously this was something that her parents should have handled, the responsibility isn’t the 10 year olds. But the fact of the matter is: when using a free ticket, you abide by the rules of the free ticket. If it…

What’s especially despicable about United is the fact that this latest jaw-dropping incident doesn’t seem out of the ordinary for the airline. It was just a couple of weeks ago that United refused to allow three young girls to board their flight, because they were wearing leggings. United didn’t apologize for that…

I bought one of those knives that has some matchsticks and fishing line in the handle.

No.

If I wanted to walk up, I’d go to the staircase just around the corner from the escalators. My fat ass is LAZY.

Can’t we just cut the bullshit and call a spade a spade here? The reason women make less on average then men is because they get pregnant. Period. End of discussion.

When the variables are controlled to where they are as similar as possible on an individual basis, there is a statistically insignificant pay gap between men and women. And it is likely part of this remaining “pay gap” is explained by less time spent at work during child rearing years by women vs men.

Damn I didn’t know professors at Harvard are morons! I am sure you are MUCH smarter than her.

Pay gap stats are the most misleading stats ever.

Exactly. Every tech blog has been bitching for years that Touch Wiz is awful and overwhelming with useless features and that the “pure Google experience”is what all phone makers should strive for. So LG does exactly what you’ve begged for and slims down their customizations and you call it “underwhelming” and “too…
