Remembering high school chemistry is sometimes a very high bar!

Not a single one of which are historians. That others use this bad terminology does not mean it’s not bad terminology. This seems like more of the illogical and immature “medieval is bad” nonsense rather than any honest attempt to analyze political thought. You can’t separate feudalism from reciprocal obligation.…

What? Since Lahren was ignorant of why she could be riding her parents’ health insurance was due to Obamacare, you really expect this clueless yapper to know what a great-great-grandfather did? Get real.

Holy shit, I feel like I’ve never seen a minivan driving less than 20 mph above the speed limit, including down my own, suburban, kid-infested, non-through-street. I have come to the conclusion that, once one has enough kids to need a minivan, and then the indignity of an actual minivan, their outlook on life is…

This. They are Reason #2 that civilians should be allowed to own RPGs. Reason #1 is cars that insist on honking in gridlocked traffic.

Like I said, we cranked it up to 11. In this context, the “We could never have imagined one person could own another person” bit makes this a legitimate argument. It was imagined, because it was done. I’m not saying it validates slavery, just that it invalidates that particular argument.

Ugh... I hate to think I might be defending someone defending the slave trade but... I don’t think that’s what this person was trying to say, at all?

Soo...yea...not true. I hate the idea of slavery on multiple levels, but this is a straight up lie. When Europeans landed in Africa, they pretty much took advantage of a system that was already in place. Yes, we cranked it to 11 with little regard for anything but profit and efficiency as we are wont to do, but we…

I worked retail consumer electronics sales in my early/mid 20's. Straight commission, and I was pretty good at what I did.

Here here, rude service never has a reason. And before some snow flake says, “But if the customer is rude”, no. You always remain professional. Always period. If anyone of my employees acted in such a fashion they would be finding new employment and I would be personally contacting the customer offer my apology, and…

Yes, 2 out of the 3 teams most likely to end up in the top 3 did, with the sole exception being a team with 2 chances to take a lottery pick from another team ending in the too 3. I also object to 1+1=2. That seems too convenient too.

Did anyone else feel that the lottery was rigged again? Seemed too convenient how that turned out.

He’s very good at collegiate and professional basketball,

I think people might be confusing Vick and Jackson because of the way the story was written to conflate the two.

I mean, he kicked a car and did less than $1K worth of damage. How is that potentially worth six months in jail? It shouldn’t hurt his draft stock. He’s 20 years old. He’s just a young dumbass, and he’s not even that much of a dumbass compared to what some of the other people who are and were his age have done.

A 5-second violation is for in-bounding the ball and the ball was in-bounded. Next time understand the rules before you try to put blame on the refs/commissioner.

Yeah. I’m an alum, longtime fan and loved that game last night. Well, at least the outcome. The fact that ESPN said that UCLA started playing defense in the second half is just a joke. Oregon went cold pure and simple. Maybe it was good defense... for UCLA (never been their strength).

It was so frustrating to see so many comments disclaimed with “I’m not a Hillary fan, but” or “She’s a flawed (read: not perfect, because perfection was required for her while minimum competency levels went out the window for the other side) candidate, but,” it was the progressive version of some cool girl nonsense.

“ even when millions of its citizens blatantly disrespected them for no other reason than that the hue of their skin made them antithetical to the virtues of their America. So much so that Obama’s successor is the most unqualified president in U.S. history; a man who is small by every measure who won, largely, because…

def not allowed in the clubhouse and banned from wearing duke gear around campus for, like, a week. a week *minimum*
