  1. You might think that, but I wouldn't. Harvard creates idiots. But the majority of the Founding Fathers opposed slavery and worked to eliminate it. If you need evidence for this, read the Declaration of Independence and then look at the laws they passed after forming their government.
  2. Corsica is the best. Never been to the other places, but Ajaccio is killer and Bastia was fun. Didn't get to go to Calvi or Bonifacio or do the boat trip aroujnd the southern coast, there were big waves or something. You can stay in Corte in the upcountry, away from the beach. It's worth a day or two. Hiking is tough but just killer, GR20 is considered one of the best hikes in Europe. Food is great, it's France. Saturday Market in Ajaccio is pretty cool. They make a lot of their own wines and liquors and such, and they're good. Because it's the Mediterranean, temps are comfortable. Many, many secluded beaches and such, partiularly in Bonifacio. https://www.bing.com/search?q=visit+bonifacio&PC=U316&FORM=CHROMN We took an overnight to CDG and a noon flight down on Air Corsica. There are some pics on the old site.
  3. I've always wanted a girl that would do that.
  4. Yeah that sums it up. They made good decisions.
  5. Browning, Dobbins, Wilson. Imagine they played for us.
  6. ESPN SkyCast is just amazing. Crown noise, no announcer. View from just behind the QB's head.
  7. Did you meet her at Niagara Falls?
  8. Yeah I wouldn't say I agree with it. But I do understand it. There were a lot of insane decisions that led to those failures. I can't remember which game it was, but we played 10 yards off coverage in the first half and the opposing QB set his personal yardage record before halftime. WTF was that if not just deciding to lose the game on purpose? Or when we called that same play twice in a row, after it failed the first time, and didn't convert the 4th down. We almost lost to Kansas. Getting beat by OU and LSU. Losing to Baylor. Just mind blowing stupid shit going down all season. I agree with you but this year should have gone a lot better than it did.
  9. Beat Kansas on a last minute field goal? Lost five games this year? Lost six games two years ago? Lost to Maryland twice? Hired Todd Orlando?
  10. Are we still in 'Nam? I feel like there were once rules.
  11. The prediction of financial apocalypse is entirely legitimate. It ends in hyperinflation and significant economic disruption. Practicing a degree of survivalism is good for your mental and physical health and it can be lots of fun, like shooting guns or camping. What the Mormons preach is also just a kind of practical wisdom.
  12. The CCP has a neighborhood watch, like the Soviets did. There is a literal network of spies looking at what you do and say all the time. The social credit thing is just another layer on top of their existing superstate of surveillance, monitoring, and control. Jack Ma, the founder of AliBaba, was forced to give up all his shares in the company he founded. He was forced by the CCP to do this, he didn't want to. It's like Mark Zuckerberg giving up all his shares in Facebook, just extremely odd. The explanation for this, and for the disappearance or homicide of many Chinese billionaires, is in the video below. A quote from Kyle Bass from the video "Those that actualy rise through the ranks of this hybrid system end up going to jail, or "falling off a wall" in Provence. https://www.wsj.com/articles/jack-ma-removes-himself-as-owner-of-alibaba-business-licenses-1538365628
  13. Even if Anastasis were being disingenuous (he isn't), an ad hominem attack has no relevance to the issue whatsoever. Why don't you discuss the facts and stop insulting people? It's as if we investigated the referees in the Oklahoma State game from a few years ago, read thousands of text messages and emails saying how much they hate Texas and how they put all their net worth on OSU to win, watched the refs call holding on the defensive line and Charlie for "bumping" the ref, and Bundy thinks it's all bullshit because some other refs did something at another game and didn't get investigated.
  14. I think I saw Attack of the Clones in New York at one of the theaters where they do big premieres. Remember the scene where Padme and Emo Vader are on Lake Como and Emo can't be with her and he says "I can't tell you how much it's killing me"? Someone from the audience yelled out "It's killing us too!". Just literally the best New York moment ever. AOTC was a rotten piece of shit and everybody knew it was garbage even when they were watching it.
  15. Don't most people know by now that "experts" are almost uniformly idiots? We were all supposed to have flying cars and electricity would be "too cheap to meter".
  16. False. Loved every day I had the Jeep and I'm dying to get another one.
