Simon clearly demonstrates that Carcetti took the myth of "just get to a higher level, and you can do EVEN MORE GOOD" to heart so much that he didn't do any good.  All he had to do was take the money.

The significant lagtime of legislation -> economic improvement, plus the billion other factors involved, means that it's incredibly difficult to look at "who is the president, and how is the economy" and come out with anything resembling a simple cause-and-effect…

A higher percentage of men are pro-choice than women in the US.  Being Pro-life doesn't murder your chances with women, but having crazy senators who imply that any woman who gets pregnant from rape is lying about the rape hurts you pretty badly.

Eh…women dominating Psych majors isn't really a super good thing for women.  Psychology, as an undergraduate degree, is really a department filled with people who are there to attend college and couldn't think of anything specific they wanted to take.

Just start with the hunting trip episode and keep going.  Parks honestly shouldn't be watched from the start.  While Aziz stays annoying, Leslie stops being "bad Michael Scott" and Andy becomes far less foul.  Also, Brandanowitz wasn't that good of a character, and you haven't even gotten to the Jerry hate episodes…

flowsthead, I agree with you, but everything about your posts are completely insufferable.

Senor, that's not really super accurate.  With the exception of the most edge-case scholars, basically the whole New Testament was written down by 150 AD, and at least one of the Gospels was almost certainly finished by 70 AD (Mark).  Furthermore, 1st Thessalonians is generally accepted to have been written as early…

And this is why the cops do this.  They can't stop you from showing films, because the First Amendment is so strong, but they want the theater to shut down, so they make it where nobody wants to risk going there.

"You owe us every dollars."

"You owe us every dollars."

I specifically said "in the long term".  Also, I am very confused as to why those Foxconn employees kill themselves, rather than quit their jobs. If it is literal slavery, I am fully opposed to it, but it seems like they do whatever it was they did before the factories came in?
