No doubt Jesus himself would make a similar argument.

They can pass a pretty large tax cut through reconciliation, just not as big of a tax cut as they would have if they’d have passed the “AHCA”.

This is not true at all for Civ 2-4

Well said, sir. Facts over feelings (I paraphrased you a bit for that sweet alliteration) sounds like a great philosophy.

This is pretty much exactly the reason I bought it and exactly the reasons I am disappointed in myself. It’s kinda cool exploring, but pretty much everything is else is either annoying as hell or just plain not fun.

Fantastic article. I’m a white man living in a white rural county. It’s easy to forget about these sorts of injustices going about my daily life, and it’s important that folks like yourself are there to remind folks like myself that the fight for racial justice is far from over.

I’ve read plenty of Dawkins and can’t recall any racist or bigoted material frankly. Do you have a quick example to back up your claims?

I loved it so much that I just re-installed Civ 4 instead and have been playing that instead for the past couple months.

You do know that the steel magnates and the like that you praise so highly, like Mr. Carnegie, acquired that wealth by literally hiring private armies to kill their workers when they asked for things like, oh, living wages, <60 hour weeks, or protections from being maimed at work?

Can you believe that,with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.Worse than Carter

I dunno if you haven’t been watching or what, but Shep Smith has long been the most rational and thoughtful anchor on Fox News. He and Chris Wallace are journalists who work for Fox, not just Fox talking heads like so many.

The center cannot hold.

Well maybe you’ve heard of the War on Christmas?? That should give you some idea of the degrees Christians use to describe how persecuted they are.

Woah, dude, I’m with you on all of this, but as a Penn State alumnus, I have to correct you a bit there. The support for Paterno from Penn Staters after the Sandusky indictments were announced were based on two things, neither of which were football coaching prowess: 1) that the press, particularly ESPN, immediately…

I smoke my last cigarette ever (fingers crossed) on New Year’s Eve, 12/31/16 after about 10 years of (mostly) on and off smoking. So, I’m on day 36 and it feels like the greatest thing in the world! If you are thinking of going for it, do it - every day you make it through without a cig makes you feel a bit more…

Same thing goes for weed and alcohol - I agree with this and would strongly argue that the data supports weed as by far the least physiologically harmful of these three recreational drugs. And yet it is the illegal one. Almost as though such decisions are made purely with someone’s profit motive in mind

Nah, Goldwater was a whole different sort than Reagan and beyond have been. He railed against the Christian Right as it rose in the 70s and 80s, for instance, while Reagan and the Bushes made Religio-political crossover a central tenet of their political personas.

“Deodorant is basically just rubbing chemicals on your pits to cover up the smell.”

Actually, ironically enough, Hillary’s evil, illegal home email system was not hacked, unlike so much of the other Democratic digital infrastructure.

This is really similar to my own experience. Been a few years since sex, a few more before that since love. And there are times when I’m lonely, and I want someone to share my life with.
