    I didn't just make something up. It's funny you think I did and that I ought to have a cited reference in ALA format for every interaction or conversation that ever takes place. You are a weird autist pedant who probably does notate every interaction, down to wardrobe detail, but that isn't normal and you are gross.

    Can i get some context here? You putting private conversations on blast?

    Perhaps a weird tangent here, but I'm a millennial and I think more young, good earning millennials should take out a hefty (more than 1, likely 2 or 3mm) term life insurance. It 1) assures your wife/kids will be taken care of in your untimely death to replace your practical/real earnings you would have gotten for 30 years, 2) it helps to safeguard against NOT having a robust retirement/savings/inheritance fund for your wife and kids and 3) for $50/mos there is a huge psychological and spiritual freedom when you can just live life and be fearless (note: not stupid or Darwinian) because you don't have it in the back of your mind that if you croak what will your stay-at-home wife and young kids do and you always have some chip of a burden.

    My $.02, but then again I was a Liberal Arts guy at UT and wasted all my time and money on a "worthless" piece of paper so what do I know 😉

     

    edit to add: Make sure your kids aren't like that aggy kid who off'ed his jeweler dad for inheritance or life insurance.

    Please humor me and provide a few examples of how taking out a term life policy has enhanced your freedom? We talking wingsuits? Barebackin' in Haiti? I would think that the responsibility of having a family would be enough to govern your behavior, so I'm curious about this new found freedom.

    Strong is 47-17 outside of his stint here. He went 23-3 in his last two years at Louisville. The knock on him was that he would lose one game a year that he probably should have won. 

    Out of those 64 games, he played a grand total of 4 ranked teams. Even last years preseason top 25 team lost to the only top 25 team it played (granted UCF was solid).

    The smarter, more well-versed you are on policy and history, the more your vote counts.  It would encourage folks to get better-educated on the issues, too.  Dumbasses would have virtually no say, which is how it should be in my personal utopia. 

     

    Are you trying to drive voter turnout to single digits consisting almost entirely of olds? Jesus, the next 10 presidents would be named Trump.

    I asked a Trump supporter that I know if its found and proven by Mueller that he (dotard) did work with and encourage the Russians to undermine, disrupt and influence the 2016 election would he still support Trump? His reply, "sure...anything is better that having Hillary in office". So, yes they are in fact, fucking traitors.

    See here's the deal....it will never be "proven" in the minds of most Trumptards. It doesn't matter what Mueller finds because of all the "deep-state" bullshit those stupid fucking rubes buy into. It's been trumps strategy the entire time.

    I suspect we'll have several non believers on this very site. Never mind that Mueller is a life long Republican with a stellar history of service to thithis country, when he exposes all of Trumps bullshit, Mueller will become the criminal.

    And another thing... what the f is income inequality?

    You have value. The things you can do provide some value either to yourself in the form of self employed income or to your employer in the form of wages.

    Don’t like your pay - do something else.

    Don’t like the fact that you as a women or whatever get less than a man - this is false by the way. Go on your own.

    It’s like I’m taking crazy pills.

    The issue isn't that some people are lazy while others work hard, that will unfortunately always be the case. The issue is our government enacting public policy that drives further income inequality.

    Take the recent tax cut as an example. The data already shows that the majority of the tax revenue that the country gave up is being spent by corporations on stock buybacks and increasing dividends rather than new hiring or wage growth. The end result is the stock market keeps chugging along, but only half of Americans are invested in the market(the rich half). We're basically handing the ”haves" more money, while growing the deficit and doing nothing for the ”have nots”. If you are living paycheck to paycheck, how the hell are you going to invest in the market?

    If a billionaire racks up another billion dollars, that money does nothing but sit in his back account. There's only so many fancy meals and vacations someone can take. If 10,000  low and middle class people suddenly had an extra $100k, its much more likely to get recycled into the economy. It's a blatent transfer of wealth to the people who already have more money than they can spend. I'm not advocating taking money from billionaires and redistributing it, but I am advocating public policy that doesn't further drive income inequality.

    Forward P/E is around 70, which is about what FB was at this stage in the game prior to their explosion. 

    Forward P/E is implying earnings will be 31 times higher for the next 12 months  than they were the previous 12 months? I doubt it.

    If you apply a B&W or sepia filter to any of those Aggy group photos, they would bear a scary  resemblance to all of those photos of 'special' people floating around. The ones where everyone gets a nickname like "Rotund Rhonda" or "Pig-fucking Pete". That campus is overflowing with unfortunate looking people.

  9. I was born in Belgium but raised in the US, so the USMNT is my team. Still with the US shitting the bed in qualifying, I jumped on the Belgian squad for the world cup and have been talking a lot of smack leading up to today. About 50% of the people in my company are Brazilian..... it was a good day.
