ParticipantI’d like to understand how the market jumped 1% in 10 minutes today.
ParticipantInteresting in that I think that the best dem lost: O’Malley.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]
Actual gender of the parties has nothing to do with it.[/quote]
Again, a denial of reality…
ParticipantThere was a great article in the New York times about the growing denial of reality.
For example, there is a mindset that the gender you identify with is what you are. You’re female if somehow you identify with the female gender as an example (ie Caitlyn).
Except in the words of Austin Powers: smells like balls!
Participant[quote=flu]Well it looks like Cruz is going to win Iowa.[/quote]
Thankfully…
BTW, pay no attention to Iowa.
The Iowa process is ridiculous, focused on ethanol and not much more.
Does anyone even understand how the Iowa ‘voting’ process truly works?
ParticipantThis may be the most important unsolicited advice those with sons/young men will ever receive:
If at all possible, send your son’s to a midwest college.
If your son’s stay in California and get mixed up with a California princess they’ll likely be in for a life of misery.
Participant[quote=moneymaker]So who was shooting at them? 2 ladies delivering newspapers?[/quote]
No, 2 ladies delivering newspaper in a completely different truck were not shooting at the cops. No one at that location or anywhere near was shooting at the cops.
Oh, except the cops were trying to shoot and kill (with a wall of lead) the 2 ladies delivering newspapers.
ParticipantOnce again justice is not served:
No charges for LAPD officers who shot newspaper delivery women during Dorner manhunt
cops really are above the law, and us 99%ers; well we’re just cannon fodder.
ParticipantA list of a few academically competitive Schools with big time football programs:
1. UVA
2. UCB
3. UCLA
4. UND
5. Michigan
6. Stanford
7. BYU
8. Washington
9. Maryland
10. USCParticipant[quote=deadzone]Again you are still full of crap. Those are huge public universities with thousands of people working on the academic faculty who have nothing to do with the football programs. Do you truly believe all 40000 students at these universities choose to attend them specifically because of the football team? If so you are a moron.[/quote]
You’re right, I am a moron. I admit it. I mean, it’s not like I went to FSU.
Let me put it this way, as I sift through resumes any that attend football/party schools go into the circular file.
Participant[quote=yamashi1]
My previous post was primarily aimed at refuting the original author’s post and his misnomer of football being synonymous with a party school atmosphere and a place where students don’t get anything academically out of it.[/quote]Note that I selected a few schools and even acknowledged my list could be off. I never suggested every ‘football/party’ school falls into the category.
I still believe my original statement to be true: There are quite a few schools that revolve almost solely around football, and not much else. Primarily SEC schools.
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]For instance … among others:
http://www.greatschools.org/maryland/ijamsville/646-Urbana-High-School/
They’re among the best public HS’s in the nation, IMO.[/quote]
Not long ago Urbana was nothing but farmland.
ParticipantA few facts to consider (although slightly off topic):
*Most D1 football programs actually operate at a deficit
*Not uncommon for students at these football schools to pay excessive ‘athletic fees’
*College football is big business at many public universities, and has no business being so – when many are non profit to begin with. Why should tax payers have to support a semi-pro sports team when the purpose of a university should primarily be academics.
In many of these schools, it’s football.
As I’ve said before: Jonathan Gruber was right.
ParticipantConfirmed: He is a nut job megalomaniac.
No way would I vote for that nut job.
