You are betting in bad faith. No one should wager with you unless you are willing to accept official results.

Which IMHO sucks... If you're on the ticket you should be on the debate.

Neither one is any good.......its just more of the same....all garbage.....we need some new blood, outside of the two parties

You might find it insulting, but in life the best thing you can do is 'get over it.'
One can control one's emotions if they truly want to in MOST cases. Do you know how many children are molested througout their childhood and turn out to be normal? Around 85% of them if you want to throw a number at it. Now define abnormal? A small percentage end up being child molestors themselves. Another percentage have a hard time maintaining a stable relationship. Another sector of that is afraid to ever touch another human being. The rest have various mental issues/some violent, some not. It's hardly anywhere near the majority though that some would like to lead society into believing. The interesting part being, is of those who do end up with mental/emotional problems later in life, most of them would have had some sort of emotional/mental issue anyway, but they now have an 'excuse' for it.
Many have skeletons in their closet that no one will ever know about because they have the emotional maturity to handle things and then move on. Life goes on, if you have the will power to let it.

I would say if anything, Bill's being unfaithful helped Hillary garner sympathy and made people want her to succeed even more. As for Democrats not liking political dynasties, can you say Kennedy?

You claim to be one of the so-called 'victims' and now you're preaching like you're someone on a mission that wasn't directly involved. Seems somewhat fishy.
You have to remember, even as a teenager, you have choices to make. They may not always be the right choices (just as an adult) but they are still choices. The position of authority is never the only answer to the equation. There are many other factors that take place here as to why a student would agree to do such things with a teacher.

comparing the plight to that of pre-civil rigths era minorities is absurd.
Are they villified though? Yes. Do most deserve it? No.
There was a good/similar story on NPR today and there was a good point made. We like to pick on the wealthy in this country, especially those who started from nothing and worked their way to their success (we're not talking those who inhereted their money). Those who have money work their arses off. Where the average person works an 8-9 hour work day, the wealthy American works closer to an 15-18 hour work day.
The NRP story and those interviewed (based on some book about Plurocrats) even suggested Americans should be paid less than they are now and if they want to make more per hour, then they should be more productive and appreciative like those in China.
I kind of see the point they make, eventhough it's quite crude. The wealthy who earned their way to the top usually do work their ####### off harder than anyone else. They sacrifice time with family, friends, etc. to build their wealth.
In the United States we have first-world issues. Issues that aren't about food on the table so much as they are our phone bill getting paid. So many would LOVE to have the issue of worrying about a phone bill, internet bill, etc.. in this world.
We're spoiled brats as Americans. These past couple of generations especially. We all always want more, and some do work hard and aren't successful, but there are a lot who don't work hard and demand something to cover their short comings. So is life, so is the nature of the human scope of reality.
Do I feel sorry for the wealthy? Hell no. Do I get where they are coming from? Yes.

I had sex with one of my teachers and she gave me a lower grade. #######?

Especially in Sex Ed.

probably a democratic voter.

I see. Ignorance is bliss then I suppose for some.

Just using personal experience(s) is what is ignorant though. It might be one's own reality in their little circle, but it's not the big picture everywhere else.
It's those personal experiences though that politicians use against us to get their way. One person gets hurt in some way and we need a law to make sure it never happens again. Meanwhile 40 million other people never got hurt doing the same activity..
The American people are not only ignorant of their own population, but ignorant of the global population as well. 310+ million in this country, almost 7 billion people on the planet and people think that their one item of control or the law they want to pass is going to be good for everyone.... It's sad. It's part of human nature to show certain forms of compassion and want to 'control' something that is seen as wrong. As you've said yourself though, it's all about personal experience isn't it? So when it's all about "personal" experience, why do so many try to change the world. It's called being selfish.

So the chicks want to talk about sex in this thread, but the dudes only talk shoe shopping...
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD???

And who would buy a pair of shoes without trying them on first?

I know you don't look beyong "talking points" and ####### like that, but if you'd actually look at the facts, you'd know that the house has sent many jobs bills to the senate, but it's the senate (Democrat majority) that keeps them from coming up from a vote and holding down the economy.
Those little facts might hurt your dear President too much though in this election if the average person knew it was his party playing the obstructionist role here.

lf unemployment truly is down and not some high-level, government scheme, then Obama doesn't deserve the credit. The Repbublicans in Congress that cockblocked every attempt Obama made to extend unemployment benefits, or jobs works expenditure deserve the credit. They know how to fix the economy - DO NOTHING. The government just needs to stay the ** out of the way of private enterprise and let the machine of unbridled capitalism empty its load on the face of this country.

When you think about how the government calculates the unemployment rate, it really is....

Knock of the post whoring. You're not going to ruin this thread like you do most others.

Yes, the Umpires should have called Aaron Rodgers safe at home plate. In other NFL news, Arnold Palmer just knocked out Cassius Clay in the forth quarter.

UMPIRES? Never mind the four judges , the head linesman or the head of the officiating crew, the referee. Baseball has four umpires, football has only one. Anyone who's ever seen a football game or knows ANYTHING about football, would NEVER make such a mistake.
