  1. All these guys have visited College Station. That is more than enough to clarify the decision.
  2. LOL Nick is a genius. STD guy plays and Bama wins.
  3. Moldova, small as it is, could easily expel the Russians. They have every incentive to do it. There are 1-2k Russians in the Transnistria region but there are more than enough Moldovan police and military to arrest those guys and eject them from the country at any time. The problem is that Russia has them over an economic barrel. They provide almost all of the gas and fuel that keeps the place running. It's the same for almost all the republics, they hate Russia. Somebody has to be willing to go first, then the Russian Federation collapses. Good to see at least Moldovans are making diplomatic moves in the right direction.
  4. Somebody just needs to explain to Dominick that the team is his family, and his job is to protect his family. Maybe his mom should go to the practice, and she can stop practice to show him how to use his protective instinct, and he will become an NFL starter. It's all just a matter of Sandra Bullock staging an intervention, really. Should be easy, she's a Longhorn fan.
  5. Xi told Biden he plans to take Taiwan — peacefully if possible (nypost.com) VERY relevant to my future deployment opportunities.
  6. When a third string QB wins the national championship, and even Aggy's third string puts up the numbers he did, I stop thinking I can see three levels deep into someone's depth chart. Fucking Brock Purdy is in the mix for NFL MVP. They're ain't no rhyme nor reason. It wasn't that long ago we had Case McCoy as our backup with Tyrone Swoopes as our #1, while dozens of other Texas QB's (Jalen Hurts et al) where killing it all over the nation. When people have PTSD around here, I get it. I really do. Thankfully we are in a different world now.
  7. I love Dum Dums. I generally hate candy, but damn that is good stuff. Almost makes me want to go to the dentist.
  8. If you like your Social Security, you can keep you Social Security. When you make no contributions, the government incurs no obligation. Social Security is paid to people who contribute, not people who don't.
  9. Then why are you opposed to letting individuals have private accounts and earn 3x what the government will give you? Why do you wish to discriminate against blacks and enrich asians?
  10. Well, you make that part mandatory. Freedom isn't free. I loathe the stories that talk about how minorities and other poors can't develop generational wealth. I would much rather see people who work, but die young, have something to give their kids. It would be enough for a house down payment, for example.
  11. The average american has paid 12% of his salary, lifetime, into a retirement fund that holds no assets. Take that money and invest it, you have 3 to 4 times the amount you otherwise get from Uncle Sugar. A sucker is born every minute I guess.
  12. I can't disagree. I also can't understand 20 year old stupidity. The NFL don't play like that. He is a top draft based on physical attributes. He can be top ten only if he is a feature WR next year in a great passing offense and cleans up his reputation. But tigers don't change their stripes. I lean towards fuck that guy. Sometimes the Aggy stain doesn't wear off.
  13. Here is a simple proposition. Call it Retirement Choice. You can give your money to a bankrupt government, or take the same money and put it in your own account and invest it. What do you think most people would do? Now consider most people, once the budget is balanced, will be getting back far less in nominal dollars than they paid (especially minorities). Social Security only continues because it is mandatory. The supposed "public support" disappears if there is any element of freedom to choose.
