    The browns need to have the courage to demand an investigation into this game. That’s a win or lose call there that was objectively wrong. The refs have been so mind numbingly one sided today how can you not say this shit is rigged?

    What's the point? It's not going to overurn the results of the game. No ref is going to get fined or fired.

    Is that like comparing Wendy's to McDonalds?  "Gold Star, the taste that's taking over".... Or is it, as that Lady demonstrated?   Gold Star, the taste will make you vomit.  :D  

    Neither one is particularly fine dining, but Goldstar is the better option between the two for "fuck it, there's nothing else to eat" nights.

    That little incident down Cinci way is just what's around the corner. The Feds got the message loud and clear after 1\6 to start monitoring these chat rooms for potential violence... And apparently plenty of the new insurrectionist cult is locked and loaded, ready to go. All they need is the green light from Mango Mussolini.   

    "Societies exist under three forms sufficiently distinguishable. 1. Without government, as among our Indians. 2. Under governments wherein the will of every one has a just influence, as is the case in England in a slight degree, and in our states in a great one. 3. Under governments of force: as is the case in all other monarchies and in most of the other republics. To have an idea of the curse of existence under these last, they must be seen. It is a government of wolves over sheep. It is a problem, not clear in my mind, that the 1st. condition is not the best. But I believe it to be inconsistent with any great degree of population. The second state has a great deal of good in it. The mass of mankind under that enjoys a precious degree of liberty and happiness. It has it's evils too: the principal of which is the turbulence to which it is subject. But weigh this against the oppressions of monarchy, and it becomes nothing. Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem. Even this evil is productive of good. It prevents the degeneracy of government, and nourishes a general attention to the public affairs. I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical".

    Once again repeat after me that mantra concerning everything donnie has claimed was stolen from him and every possible criminal action he may be engaged in requested by 3 different federal criminal grand juries.

    Court, Court Court. Nobody gets anything without going through federal courts first with plenty of good reasons to get whatever happens from those courts to include subpoenas and legal searches & seizures.

    Somehow you all think kangaroos are in charge and not a legal system that counterbalances executive & legislative powers. He's corrupted your thinking very badly these past several years with an uncanny ability to con formerly clear thinkers. You won't be the first or the last. Ask the Trump U grads how that's worked out for 'em.

    Remember how Hillary Clinton had thousands of classified documents and emails on her own private server back in 2016 and the FBI didn't raid her home and she didn't face any criminal charges?

    Courts are not immune to politicization.

    Two points. First of all I don't agree about Muslims. In a predominantly Muslim neighborhood and a predominantly Muslim School I think they do as they wish with no complaint for me.

    "Predominantly [insert religion] neighborhood" is a modifier that changes the argument. I could just as easily say that Muslims or fringe religions like Satanism or Scientology holding prayers in the middle of small town Alabama or Indiana would cause a conniption fit amongst the predominantly Christian citizenry of those areas.

    Second, and here is where the adult thing comes into play, I'm not sure how you got the impression I was a big fan of equity, but sorry, I don't take satanists seriously and would not afford them the same privilege as I would Muslims or Christians or Jews. Kind of the same deal with the church of universal life that you mail a check and purchase yourself a Ministry from the classified ads of The Enquirer or Woody's Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

    Is that completely Fair to the handful of idiots that really worship Satan or the FSM? Maybe not. Time for them to realize that sometimes life is tough.

    By being an adherent of a specific religion, logically, that means that the beliefs of other religions are already automatically not taken seriously, no? A Christian does not take the religious beliefs of a Muslim, Buddhist or Hindu or non-belief of atheists seriously because they are separate belief structures from the Christian religion, so that argument isn't really germaine to the core of the issue. The number of adherents to a specific religion is not a prerequisite to protection under the free exercise clause of the First Amendment.

    The Supreme Court, with this ruling, has opened the door for all religious practices to have the same public prayer privileges that the Christian coach has throughout the United States, regardless of what religion dominates the specific area in question. That is why I said it would be amused to see how the Christian majority areas of the country would respond to non-Christian religions holding prayers or other religious practices at the 50 yard lines of their football fields or similar areas

    Well if anybody had a crystal ball it would be great but.... I just had a meeting with my broker about that very thing. He doesn't believe we should make any wholesale changes to my admittedly varied Investments right now. Pointed out something that I'd read elsewhere I forget the exact numbers but a bear market lasts for x amount of months and a bull market for substantially longer. He sees the housing market as at least leveling off and thinks we might be at, or close to, the bottom and things should start looking up. There could be a case made for a bounce back if and when the Republicans retake the houses, or even if they don't at least it would dispel a little bit of the uncertainty that the market hates.

    I don't even think we've come close to hitting the bottom on this economic downturn. Personally, I believe that this recession is going to be the worst one since the Great Depression.

    A little bit insulting lumping in Muslims, one of the most predominant religions on the planet, and satanists which are basically assholes get off by shock and offense.

    A grown up would know the difference.

    WSS

    By the same token, we both are grown up enough to know that if Muslims or Satanists tried to do prayers at sporting and other public events akin to how Christians do, that there would be a massive uproar amongst those Christian groups.

    Btw, most people don't know that coal and natural gas plants produce on the order of 100x more nuclear waste than comparable sized nuclear power plants. And unlike nuclear power plants, fossil fuel plants release their radioactivity via emissions and disposal of radioactive fly ash directly into the environment almost unobstructed, unlike nuclear waste containment at nuclear power plants.

    Next time you two want to educate me about how electricity from nuclear plants is generated, perhaps you should not be so smug.

    I was referring to the differences in nuclear waste generated by nuclear fusion and nuclear fission, which you originally raised as a concern. 

    Learning about fusion and fission was a big portion of the physics courses I was required to take back in uni. Fusion itself is relatively clean; the main byproducts are helium and tritium, which can be reused as fuel in the fusion reaction itself, so very little in the way of waste there. The main source of waste in fusion is via neutron irradiation of the cladding inside the reactor itself, which is still significantly less than fission reactors.

    The main reason why fission reactors of the past generated so much waste was because they were breeder reactors. They served the dual purpose of energy production and enrichment for nuclear weapons. Newer reactors designs like molten salt or thorium reactors don't generally have breeding capabilities, which limits the amount of waste generated. Some of these reactor designs can even be fueled by existing nuclear waste, which allows the current waste to be converted into much more stable and shorter lived isotopes.

    So, idk why you were being all defensive and calling me "smug" when that wasn't my intention; I was just pointing out the differences between fusion and fission.
