The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Re: late night pit

« on: March 04, 2015, 10:24:04 PM »

lol. No. Also, She doesn't want me to be there right now per se, but she wants to hear that I'm motivated enough to someday want to get in that range. She kept brining up that we make over 100K combined right now and we can't afford to do anything fun with our bills. <-------(This is not true. I'm being responsible and saving my money).

How in the hell can a couple with 100k combined and no kids not have enough money for fun?

Where are all these bills going too?

Some of you are just awful. 

What about the dogs, tazers, searches, arrest for petty crimes, and racist emails?

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Proposed new chant after a BB win

« on: February 26, 2015, 07:38:19 AM »

All fans stay in their seats and chant repeatedly: "Go to your room, Jayhawks. Go to your room" as the opposing players and coaches shake hands postgame and the losers head dejectedly toward the locker room.

Change the team name and the chant works for every win against every team.
Such a chant precludes rushing the floor, endangering anyone, and is not an embarrassment to our team and university. Hell, it might even become a new KSU tradition.

Weird.

In your diatribes you complain that Obama had both houses of congress at one point but fail to acknowledge this  2/3rds majority requirement.

I derstand Judith Miller did some time and that Obama is being a dick about Snowden, but I have yet to see the United States government shutdown a media outlet or arrest somebody because they didn't agree with what they said on the Internet.

Now tell me how specifically does net neutrality affect freedom of the press ?

Hey, just think, U.S. net-neutrality could drop the United States out of the Top 50 in World Press Freedom (currently 49th and falling).

What a glorious day for the "Most Transparent Administration in History".

Quit being a douchebag.

No.

Quit avoiding reality

Reality tells me that the regulation of TV and radio has never threatened freedom of the press but only made it stronger. 

I don't expect anything new or different with the Internet that drastically changes this.

an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure 

Definitely. I'm sure it'll just be an "ounce" of regulation. Or however much 300 pages weighs. Not as much as Obamacare, that's for sure!

I really can't believe anyone who likes fast internet wants COMCAST to start rough ridin' with it.

So let me get this straight - Comcast and Verizon throttled the speed of the largest consumer of bandwidth on the planet - Netflix - so now we need the government to step in and regulate the internet like a public utility? Are you really so libtarded that you actually believe government intervention, as opposed to the free market, is going to make this better?

Free market will not correct an industry with local monopolies and a recent history of mergers.

I know that we are better off because of publicly regulated energy, water, and sewer.

With the Internet being a medium for banking, job searches, government payments, learning etc it has become a standard for the business of conducting life.  All of us should have reasonable broadband and no single person, business, or entity should be priced out because of a private monopoly.

Internet providers use public right of ways and because of that the public should have a say.

“I’m just not ready to go there yet,” Currie said [of beer sales at football games]. “I think that we have a baseball situation that is different from football and basketball.

yes, kansas counties are way too small.  they should have a 100k population minimum per

I think they are set up pretty logically. Everyone has easy access to their county seat. The locals get the services/ordinances they want. The idea that people are subjected to more beaurocracy because there are more county governments is laughable.

I think the idea of having less sheriffs, less school administration, and less state funding of county governments is a great idea. 

It could be a quite a local/county tax savings for the people in those areas if they would just collaborate.

Not really. They would still have to fund all of those services and they'd have to either send their kids to a school hundreds of miles away or pay for a similar amount of administrators as they are already paying for.

Did you just say "hundreds of miles away"? We're talking about consolidating counties - not states.

I don't think you know just how big Kansas is. He was talking about reducing the western half of the state to 16 school districts.

Maybe 16 is too low, but I think one Superintendent with a decent sized staff to run a central office can handle a large population of students who are widely spread apart geographically.  There's site managers (principals), and sufficient technology to handle such a task. 

Think of the buying power the larger districts could achieve in terms of supply.

I think we just have a lot of land that is sparsely populated, giving us more counties per capita than most other states.

I think the western half of the state could be divided into four counties and possibly 16 school districts.

We didn't get a TV slot last night.

Well I stand corrected, it was on TV last night, but apparently it was sandwiched between some cooking and military hardware channel.
