    Couldn't agree more. Medical industry says Hi.

    NIMBYism

    So we need Obamacasa in addition to Obamacare, am I hearing that right? OK. I'll quit fucking around> I have discussed before being in subsidized housing when I was a kid. We lived there 4 years until my mom got situated( she had been out of the job market for 20 years and then suddenly was a single mom with 3 kids.) Every day was an effort to get the fuck out of there and they were decent apartments in a decent part of town, as in, there weren't crime issues or whatever. IMHO, that is what "affordable housing" or subsidies should be for, even if there was no defined time limit, it should not run into perpetuity either. As a taxpayer, I'm cool with that premise. Defined timelines with progress towards independence. Crazy, I know... The approach does not need to originate from "the gubmint has an endless supply of money." What's reasonable? 10 years? I know 4 isn't the answer. I just take issue with the folks who feel like they are owed, and I know you know where I'm coming from. There were people who lived in those apartments in the 80's who probably lived there until they died. That's not cool either.

    Also false. Get jobs and go earn it. I know, it's insane to say that, but people do it; or should we ignore the other results? There are always tradeoffs for different decisions in life. Too slorchy, i know, but I get sick of the "woe is us" as well as the " Government must intervene!" bullshit.
  4. The Sark thread has admittedly been better, for sure.
  5. 1. I'm not whining about anything. 2. It's all incestuous rankings and bullshit anyway. "we played 8 teams in the top 25. The only reason any SEC team lost a game is because they had to play the SEC" Yeah...Mkay. 3. Fuck Notre Dame and Fuck aggy. Those notions are hardly exclusive to 2025.
  6. Which metrics did I choose? My beef with ND and the SEC for that matter is not playing a 9 game conference schedule, but then getting Samford in November, because it's dumb. It's deliberate manipulation of competitive reality for other teams. I ain't dying on the hill of defending Tech's schedule, because it also is bullshit. I've long felt teams should schedule 1 tough game, 1 medium, and 1 cupcake in non-con. Every team should be gauge off of 9 conference games. Anything less than 9 counts as a loss. Guess what? They don't GAF about standardized schedules or my opinion on the topic; but I still get to complain.
  7. Maybe not, and A&M actually makes a great case against conference schedules this season; however Notre Dame's schedule:
  8. Congrats. Glad it turned out that way...even after the 4th & OMG play.
  9. Now show me a legal craps table... In Texas. We are so fucking blessed to be protected.
  10. Actually, the rules are pretty fucking fair on site determination.
  11. You said to ignore the first round. After that when people say "home and home" it's Team A's pick of a neutral site and if they rematch within 2 seasons( 3 years total) Team B gets their pick of the "neutral site." It is not generally their home field.
  12. That was illegal procedure on third down
  13. Plano West's snapshot number is 4914.
  14. Sorry Ghost. It's bullshit to have to make choices over someone else being an asshole( hateful.) By the same token, you shouldn't have to tolerate/ endure it either. I would lose my shit if someone said something like that about my kid's "faults" even if those faults only exist in the condescending idiot's mind. Would your kids be interested in coming to your house, or is it the "bigger family" or nothing for them?
