  1. Because the intent is to mislead and down play the importance of abortion to PP's mission/existence/business model. The commentary and articles I talked about explain that, if you chose to look them up. I even saw a link to one from left leaning Slate Magazine delving into what is behind the numbers. Because your mother chose not to abort you.
  2. I was under the impression (for as little as :I have read about it), that this current ruling was more about whether lower courts should hear a certain case, not for the SC to be ruling one way or the other on funding or a federal involvement/legality of abortion. I think those are coming and the shitshow will be turned up to an 11 if one side overreaches.
  3. If that is the numbers from PP's statement then yes. As I mentioned, when the numbers are examined (not just by pro-life groups) they are misleading in what PP does. The Washington Post did a good article about this as have others. An example is when someone comes into a PP office to get an abortion, PP counts everything they do for this person (exam, STD testing, consultation, etc) as a separate service. That can add up to calling it 6-10 services for 1 abortion. That's misleading and number playing just to make a point on paper. It's like the NRA saying they exist for hunter safety training. The current issue with PP is just as much about funding as it is with actual abortion. Again, PP is disingenuous when they say no federal funds (i think they get about $500 million from fed?) are used for abortion, when federal funds are used for other things like the buildings and staff and overhead that wouldn't be there without it. The idea or talking point of they are there and exist as a "women's health provider" is as disingenuous as the "medical marijuana card" some states have had. It might have a few cases where it's true, but that's not the real picture.
  4. That statement is demonstrably false just by reading their own annual report and what PP calls a service. Commentary on the numbers from multiple news sources (both left and right) delve into this.
  5. And no thread about Arby's here is complete without the Hope Solo pic.
  6. The over/under on this game was something like 45. Pretty confident this one won't make it over. PS: I don't, but for those that gamble, Thurs night games are a complete crap shoot.
  7. Probably next year if the shit hits the fan. So far, not enough has come out/gone down/etc. I would think it has to be Trump.
  8. Damn I wish I still had a black and white TV. Seriously, don't look directly at the Seahawks. You will go blind.

    Thujone decides the coverage area ?
  10. The irony there is that many years ago PAC teams (like Cal I remember specifically) would not play BYU because of the overt and institutional discrimination of the LDS Church in regards to no blacks in the priesthood and them being born inferior. I've told some of y'all before that think they want BYU in the conference.....No you don't. They are in no way worth the headaches and whining that comes from the fan base and the LDS Church.

    One of the announcers for the Redskins/Giants game sounds just like Daniel Tosh.
  12. Not at all. I have had a successful career (due in part to my education at WVU), love my work and my kids, and I travel/play at will. I even have time to hang out here on a message board using the exact same handle/name since I joined when WVU got their invite to the Big 12. You on the other hand have had to change names multiple times, are a complete douche and loser in life, and your school cannot get an invite to any one of the P5 conferences. Kind of keeps the garments in wad down in Provo, eh? PS: What happened to your "I'm not even going to waste my time on you"? Sounds like you lied. Must have learned that at BYU.
  13. Fucking brilliant retort, dumbfuck. Ignorance is simply not knowing something. Stupidity is not having the ability to learn. You sir, are a stupid motherfucker who deserves nothing but the worst in life, and to wallow around looking for a seat at the big boy table hoping that someday someone will think highly of you or any institution that you associate with. But it will never happen.
  14. Not sure about Boise State, and you obviously know nothing of WVU. You are the one with a stupid relative that couldn't even keep a job run by an Aggie. Two fucking days was all they could tolerate of him? Shit, you can read the Book of Mormon and Pearl of Great Price in less time than that. Joseph Smith could translate a roll of papyrus in less time than that. PS; To get you started, you should do a google search about how many Rhodes Scholars we have had. PPS: I've never hired a BYU grad, nor ever likely will. Temple oaths aren't my thing.
  15. Two days in and he still couldn't get the concept of asking every customer if they want fries with their order, or to wash his hands before returning to the wrapping station, then he should get fired. Probably a BYU graduate.
  16. And yet somehow Dick Van Dyke never had the opportunity to play Bond. Tragic loss since he had the accent down perfect.
  17. As someone mentioned earlier, most people tend to like the ones that they started/grew up with. My favorite movie is "The Spy Who Loved Me", and my favorite opening song is Sheena Easton's "For Your Eyes Only". Hottest Bond Girl for me has to be Ursula Andress.
  18. And some of them were just Truly Scrumptious.
  19. This guy looks like a real go getter who is making his law school and the Bar proud. The midget in the commercial is what would sell me on him.
  20. There is a whole thread about not replacing the wife in time and stories/costs/pain in the ass associated with it.
  21. That's kind of what I was thinking, with having Venmo and then also a credit or debit card, it sort of seems that Paypal will not have a purpose? Maybe that is why Paypal bought Venmo? Wonder if Paypal/Venmo will come out with a debit card to use for "non-friends" like actual vendors?
  22. Though I'm an old, I pay most of my bills online but still write a few checks every month. I carry some cash depending upon the situation, but most often when out pay with a credit card and then just pay the bill at the end of the month. I had heard of and was familiar with Paypal several years ago, but never had a reason to open an account. Now I hear about , and a couple of my kids use, Venmo (which paypal now owns) to pay for some things. Am I correct or close with the following: -Paypal charges for all transactions except for paying moneys from your paypal account to someone else's paypal. A credit or even a debit card is going to get a 3% or so charge. You do have some protection with Paypal though for fraud. -Venmo does not charge for a debit card transaction. It does charge for a credit card one though. Also, there is no protection for/from fraud. Venmo should be used only if you know the person (friend/family/FWB/etc)? Is this basically correct? Do most people who use these things use one or the other, or have both depending upon the transaction and parties? I'll hang up and listen. Thanks.
  23. Wear it with this T shirt, so if someone doesn't like the hoodie, you can take it off to reveal even better.
