so glad all the local baseball teams suck
a few more weeks of this would be annoying
I don't get how being one of the last four teams standing constitutes sucking.
there can only be one winner…everyone else sucks to some degree
but I'm the last person to ask about baseball/football/basketball/hockey
I'm just glad the board isn't being cluttered by sports talk…that was my random thought
but if you want to discuss strategy in the Caber Toss …I'm your man

It looks like Malala won't be made any honorary citizen of Canada today after all.

I don't understand your post. Did someone say white people don't kill anyone in America? Well, they'd be wrong.
According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and Native Americans and Asians 2.2%.

Muslims are the only religion where insulting the child-raping Prophet who founded the religion is punishable by death (e.g. murder). So perhaps their ideology is a little fucking violent.
But of course, all different kind of people commit murder. So you are wrong to say that only Muslims commit murder.

That might be humorous if it were not factually inaccurate. Additionally, the usual counter point that requiring ID to vote would impact any given segment of society more than any other is absolutely absurd.

Voter ID laws is an interesting topic
In principle, if applied properly I see nothing wrong with having to show an ID of course the problemm is its not going to be applied properly.. and we all know that the amount of people voting illegally is like 0.00004% or something..negligible…. these laws are not meant to ensure proper voting but to make scare off potential voters likely to vote democrat (blacks and primarily hispanics)…. I mean who the fuck shows up and says "I'm John Smith" if they're not?? Do we really think illegal aliens are showing up at the polls??? Come on….that's laughable…but its what many people think…that people are actually LOOKING FORWARD to voting illegally…. but hey I guess when voter participation is as high as it is in the US…what is it? 98%? when voting participation is that high why not put in a few measures to restrict turnout….
but getting an ID in some states is ridiculous…. here in VA when I moved from DC I had to take just about everything I could find…it was crazy…they have like three different sets of things you have to provide…
This is where if the US did things the right way it would have a national ID that would be provided to you when you got your Social Security number or even better include a picture with your social security number and end of discussion..proving who you are should be enough…computers could match up the ID number with residence or something…..
but hey we're America… 50 states with 50 different IDs with 50 different voting laws for a national election… yeah, that makes sense…
