Whoa, whoa, whoa! This is the Mets we’re talking about. How do you know they aren’t planning on playing deBlasio at 3rd next season? Do you have insider information we’re not privy to? I think that there has to be at least a 10% chance that we’ll see him playing next year. Look at the disinterest on the little girls’…

So, the real question is... which one gets sent to a re-education camp when they get back home?

Not every state has ‘Open for Business.’ True story- about ten years ago the governor of West Virginia at the time (now Senator Joe Manchin) changed the welcome signs to ‘Welcome to West Virginia - Open for Business.’ The entire state went absolutely bonkers. Citizens groups were raised, petitions signed, moves to…

Closer to Incels. Basically people who long for the days when gaming was a male dominated activity and resent women intruding on that. They fear twitch becoming a place for so-called ‘cam girls’ instead of so-called ‘real’ gamers which they essentially equate with males.

The real question is not sexism, but why minority voters don’t like her. Like really, really don’t like her. She’s polling at something like 2% among black voters. The gap between her and Biden is almost completely due to black voters. I really don’t know why that is - my completely unsupported theory is that she…

Not really. Firstly, it’s a strawman, since right to life groups generally don’t oppose legislation regarding maternal care (although individuals certainly do.) But more importantly, from their point of view, abortion is literally murdering children. It’s not necessarily hypocritical to oppose murdering someone while…

It’s really proof that if you can hit 96 on the radar gun, they’re willing to give you 1300 bucks a month in Single-A to see if you can develop into something better.

Dude... China. The contractor is the one with the best bribe, everyone is skimming and inspections are carried out by the inspector getting a red envelope at his desk.

Pratt and Hemsworth are the two best. Pine is a classic spoiled 1 percenter who has never known a day of deprivation in his life. Evans is the son of a dentist and political family who went to NYU. Liking them is like liking the Trumps.

Hemsworth was the son of an English teacher and social worker who lived on a cattle…

The flaw in the system is that it was never designed to be a democracy. It was supposed to be an oligarchy of wealthy, landed gentry. The Founders presumed that the electorate would be relatively educated and non-diverse and powerful enough that they were expected to know the players. Over time though, the system has…

I’m assuming that Abrosh is just arguing semantics. Technically, it’s still 6 v 6, so there is no true man advantage. No one in the hockey world would ever call it 6 v 6 though. It’s a 6 v 5.

It’s too bad that this happened in Seattle, where apparently only 15 people showed up on a Memorial Day early evening game to watch it.

For the first question, I’ll go with KD stays injured for the first 3 games, Warriors go up 3-0 easily. KD comes back for game 4, Warriors are winning the first half, then Steph gets injured, the Bucks come back to win the game and eventually the series with a healthy KD and injured Curry.

It’s not knowing the rules, which as a 36-year-old he should. The ball did start out foul, but the fair-foul call doesn’t occur until it is touched by a player or comes to a stop. It started foul and rolled fair without anyone touching it, so it’s a fair ball.

Gay rights? Certainly. Gay marriage? No. Obama ran in 2008 against gay marriage as he did in all of his national campaigns, as did every Democratic presidential candidate before him. By fighting at the state level, national politicians were able to moderate their stances. This was not possible with abortion due to Roe…

Gay rights is exactly what I’m talking about. It was primarily fought legislatively and arose to prominence at the exact same time as abortion. National politicians didn’t have to take firm stances and it was not a national wedge issue. Over time, it became more highly accepted and by the time of Obergefell public…

I think that’s where you’re wrong. Pre-Roe v. Wade, abortion was being fought at the state level, not the national level. State politicians were able to formulate their own responses to abortion and national politicians didn’t have to have a response at all. The polarization would have been happening in state houses…

I do. We can trace religious extremism in politics to the ‘Moral Majority’ movement of the late 70s. What the Republican Party has now is essentially a direct descendant of the Moral Majority. The Moral Majority was Jerry Falwell’s baby and was founded as an off-shoot of his “I Love America” speaking tours in 1976.…

Roe v. Wade was the deal with the devil that got us here. It’s what turned the Presidential election into an election for the Supreme Court instead and it’s what turned relatively moderate Christian voters into far-right zealots. Abortion was a battle that should have been fought in legislatures, not in courts and a…

This really forces us to ask the real question: Why would anyone want to live in New York? No dishwashers, no washer/dryers, no garbage disposals and 2 grand a month rents for efficiency apartments? I guess if it’s the only place you can find work, you’re stuck there, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why…
