Even as a Pats fan I sure as hell know Tom couldn’t run from some drunk dude out to tase him.

It could have its own betting system based on a variety of possibilities; when Brady gets tasered, how often, whether a tasering knocks him out of the game, whether he avoids one, and so on.

If you could guarantee me Tom Brady gets tased once per regular season I’d watch every minute of all 16 games.

This Tour is changing my mind about cycling. It’s like if the “idiot on the field” had actual consequences and the potential for it to happen is far greater than normal sports. Good stuff.

Totally! I mean fuck black people for trying to capitalize on their IP... Who do they think they are, white men?

I mean, even look at the original dance, the one you get for free.

Well, you can copyright a choreographic work. The people who made these dances should have copyrighted them. Then they’d be entitled to royalties from reproductions of the dances. (And if they did copyright any of these dances, they should be seeking said royalties.)

The first one was fine. It’s your opinions that are total crap.

How taxation is enforced (at least in the US) is draconian. How our tax money is spent, and often wasted, is definitely concerning. But asking that citizens pay into a pot for social services available to said citizens is not inherently evil.

Taxes were much higher in the past. During WWII the top tax rate was 92% for those making $200k a year. In the 90's the top tax rate was 28%, now it’s capped at 43%.

Why are taxes evil?

Taxes are inherently good. They are a check on oligarchy, aristocracy, and power. The fact that, over the past 50 year’s taxes have gone down and income differentials have gone up is no coincidence, it’s causation.

“I think the right way to phrase that would be: “Tax funded programs that benefit the taxpayers are inherently good”.”

As a liberal myself, I would actually qualify this in that “benefit” means that an alternative method of arriving to the conclusion without government interference (or a method with less government…

Not the best way to phrase it but he isn’t wrong.

The person making eight figures who brings in nine figures with the difference going to someone worth ten figures is definitely underpaid.

If you’re creating billions of dollars of value, a $10 million annual salary is too low.

I think Jalopnik is the only blog where you ask a simple question and it gets answered by 37 people, 36 of which didn’t check to see if someone already answered it.

NASCAR has wet weather tires for all non oval events. So that means they will run in the rain there if necessary so therefore all their cars are required to have wipers attached.
