  1. Finished...great book. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes hockey.
  2. Here is a transcript of what he said: "There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it...These are people who pay no income tax, 47% of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect. So he'll (President Obama) be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean, that's what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. What I have to do is convince the five to ten percent in the center that are independents, that are thoughtful, that look at voting one or the other depending upon in some cases emotion, whether they like the guy or not." I'd say it looks more like a Rep. house and a Dem. senate. Elizabeth Warren is ahead in the last 5 polls in MA, the latest WI and VA polls show the race either tied or favoring the Dem. candidate, Ohio and Florida have solid Dem. leads, and even Montana and Indiana look close. I know exactly what he said. And nowhere in that quote does he call anyone a "taxless worker" or a "leech".

    Cars

    They're still somewhat common, but most people learn on an auto first.
  4. Ahh ok so I guess it's fair to say the bears suck then...
  5. Pretty sure the server admin with the source code for the forums would be able to figure out the problem. Why don't we wait for him to say whether he can fix it or not?
  6. I don't think he really had any plan in mind when he said that. But I'd think the traditional republican method of dealing with that problem would be cutting their services rather than making them pay tax.

    I find it pretty spacious for its size, actually. I'm not 6'5" 250, but I'm 6'1" and I havr plenty of room. My buddy who's 6'2" sat in the back and commented on the legroom as well.. Getting pretty good at driving stick. Still a tad slow getting into first but it's barely noticeable.
  8. He never called them taxless workers, or leaches lol. He said they pay no income tax...
  9. Logically, and in context, Romney is correct. A politically astute observer will tell you that Romney shouldn't have been the one to say it. What I predict is going to happen is that political commentators in the media, along with ads from the Obama campaign are going to take this completely out of context and continue to harp on it. In context: I'm not going to campaign to people who aren't going to vote for me. Out of context: I don't care about half of America (or special interest x, y, z). Probably. Such is politics... The bears are better than the vikings looool (assuming you're a vikings fan if you're from minny) I'm a vikings fan tbh :(
  10. I'm in UGC steel, first season. Got match 1 on thurs...hopefully we win but I'm not holding my breath.
  11. Highlander? Weakkk sixes are where it's at!
  12. I don't see anything too unreasonable about the claims. I'm not sure how factual the "47% of americans pay no income tax bit", but it's entirely true that there is a large portion of the population that will realistically never vote for him, just as there is a large portion of the population that will never vote for obama. The middle ground is where pretty much all elections are won, he's just stating the obvious.
  13. Or we could just remove the censor entirely and not have this problem :)
  14. The Departed. Another great one. 8/10.
  15. I've noticed that whenever I post from my phone smilies don't work properly. All I do is enter the standard emoticon text shortcut (:P) but the image is broken when I post from my mobile. It works fine if I post from the normal skin - I'll reply to the topic from my phone to demonstrate :P The mobile skin seems to be looking for a .png image, whereas the full skin inserts a gif.
  16. Currently reading The Game by Ken Dryden. Very interesting so far.
  17. I dunno. Short term or polyamorous sure, but you bounce back that quickly after a monogamous ltr and something's wrong imo. (Note that I understand wanting a rebound, but you shouldn't be over that person right after it's over.) I didn't say you should be over them, I'm saying you should be free to start seeing someone else if you wish.
  18. American History X. Amazing movie...9.0/10. I actually thought I was going to cry...and I never cry. MAN TEARS...almost
  19. I agree completely. My stance on the matter is that the second a relationship is over you are completely free to move on to the next one.
