But they didn't draft him for the same reason teams, wrongly, passed on Sapp years earlier. He had a few failed drug tests and some whispers about character issues. For every time that guy ends up being a murderer (one that I can think of... not sure if Ray Lewis or Rae Carruth had any murder scouting report, but I…

They are pandering to a reality tv demographic that only wants narratives because they know the die hards watch either way. I stopped watching sportscenter and started getting my sports news online and much prefer this method... no more contrived, half-assed debates in my life.

He is what? That's not a complete sentence.

Counterpoint - in the last decade and a half the productivity of the American worker has increased nearly 100%, while wages haven't kept up with inflation. We don't need unions to fight off child labor anymore, but they still can have value in more appropriately allocating the spoils of labor. Right now the top-only…

In general, you make a valid observation. Just look at how every halftime of every game seems to feature a dad surprising his family with a return from a deployment, and how we can't stop funding more and more military spending (including something like $6 billion that literally no one asked for in the most recent…

But, since TV celebrates this ruthlessness in men like Don Draper and Tony Soprano, isn't it sort of an improvement that they try to make her a sympathetic character? No? Okay, it was worth a shot.

In fairness, he puts about as much time into those as I do into one of these comments. All I'm saying here is that a middle class is necessary to our economy. No one actually disagrees with this.

If "everyone knows" he's a "one-trick pony" how did you also know he'd have dick riders? I may be going out on a limb here, but you seem a tad prone to hyperbole. Also, you are sort of an asshole.

So you'd rather the rest of us don't get the information with which to make the decision because you know better on our behalf? I still don't get how not labeling what's in what food somehow is better.

I'm guessing that your comment doesn't address anything in the one you replied to.

Most ponies can't do any tricks. This one sounds impressive.

Do you fear that once labeling happens you won't be allowed to eat GMO food? No one is going to stop you from eating what you want. In fact, labeling and all of the alleged lies, etc. that you (dramatically) "cannot abide" would just lead to the food that you know is safe being underpriced... that's good for you. …

You don't have to "imagine" GMOs are labeled and the apocalypse immediately follows. We can just ask if rational decisions are being made in those countries where they already are labeled (see, e.g. the 64 countries on this list: http://justlabelit.org/right-to-know/…).

More information is always better than less. "Protecting" me from information I want to have doesn't help anything. If big food companies want me to be okay with GMOs, educate me, don't lie to me. With all of the facts on the table, consumers make the right choices more often than not. If you want a government…

I'll take totally irrelevant comparisons for $500.

You mean that it looks like, based on misleading and threatening information provided by Tenn. politicians, some of the people of one factory in Tennessee agreed with you, and even then, just barely.

It would still be nice to know how the factory workers would have voted if they weren't lied to about the impact of their vote on the building of a new plant. If VW had made the threats and statements local politicians did make, it would potentially have been punishable as an unfair labor practice by the NLRB. Why…

Say what you want, but this isn't an issue of having a clue, it's an issue of saying whatever they can to keep donors and their base happy. Corker was likely completely aware of how misleading this was (and therefore he tried to stay above the fray until it was clear it was close).

The blue collar voters are convinced that he saved them. Being a middle class or poor voter in the south is like being a battered woman. They beat you and tell you it's for your own good.

This is, hands down, the worst argument in favor or opposition of anything I have ever heard. Let me summarize for you: some people don't know the impact of using GMOs, so no people should be allowed to know about GMOs.
