I hate averaging less fans than WVU and ISU.
not me. helps cement K-State as more of a "boutique" institution.
This is how I need to look at it. Like Spinal Tap, we play to a more "selective audience."
Look at all that job creation!
Speaking of Chinese job creation, if you've never seen this, it is interesting...
I could watch videos of stuff about abandoned infrastructure all day long.

After reading that article, I think he was paranoid/drunk/high.
BUT...we absolutely need to blow up the NSA and drastically change the way they operate or something. It hasn't been talked about much here for some reason...(maybe because the resident Neocons support their work?)...but what they are doing is atrocious.
I, for one, am looking forward to Al Jazeera. I've read some great things about disgruntled journalists going there who want to report actual news.
I can't think of a single adverse consequence associated with a 16 year old high schooler making $15 an hour sorting books at the public library or blowing the whistle at people running buy the pool, let alone flipping burgers at the poors restaurant of choice McDs.
MAYBE YOU MISSED THE PART WHERE I DIDN'T VOTE FOR OBAMA
ACTUALLY I SAW THAT
Pike, you know who else saw that? Obama and the NSA!
hahaha, so you don't support the current administration? Seriously?question for OK, Rusty, SD, and a few more that I don't feel like typing now...
How do you guys feel about these kinds of issues (surveillance, online record storage)? You always mock the stories, but you really never seem to have clear position (approve/disapprove). Most of you guys are/were supporters of the current administration, so how do these kinds of stories factor in to your approval/disapproval?
WTF. I've been as anti illegal surveillance on here as you've been anti-semitic. find me something where I've been a "supporter of the current administration".
The underrated part is where Trayvon Martin confronted Zimmerman non-violently and asked him why he was being followed. Zimmerman lied and said he wasn't following him, wasting an opportunity to resolve the issue.
Someone follows you, you ask why and they said they were not, then get out of the car and chased you. You tried for a straight answer and were clearly lied to your face and have a stranger pursuing you. Do you not feel threatened by this? Are you supposed to sit there and ask him again after he clearly lied to you the first time? This guy is stalking you and lying to your face, I'm not going to assume that we can reasonably hash that out.
The fight went for 45 to 90 seconds before the shot was fired. It wasn't 10 seconds. Getting punched in the face for 45 seconds is a LONG time.

She also asserted his head may have only been slammed on the concrete a single time. Zimmerman, who faces second-degree murder charges for the death of the unarmed teenager, said Martin repeatedly slammed his head on the concrete.
sooo, tell me about this "grassy area" that you referenced...
If the fight went as described by Zimmerman, Martin's body would be next to the "T" in the sidewalk, rather than in the grassy area between the houses.

How did he find him, then, mortons toe? How did he end up off the road in the grassy area between buildings if he wasn't following him?Because the kid doubled-back on him. Good gawd

If it was a "threat", why didn't TM call 911? Why didn't he keep running?
in response to NK and Hein...
TM ran for no provoked reason. If you are neighborhood watch, isn't it your responsibility to find out what is going on?
NK... listen to the tape.
No, it's your responsibility to call the police and tell them what direction the kid is running. Pursuing the kid with a gun is assault.
What world do you live in where pursuing someone while in possession of a gun is assault? Every time a suspected bad guy catches the attention of a cop, and the cop chases him, the cop is assaulting someone? You're rough ridin' nuts.
I live the same world as you do, where it's illegal to scare people with guns or other weapons.
From the Florida statute:QuoteAn “assault” is an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.
Zimmerman following Martin around the neighborhood on a rainy night was perceived by Martin as a threat. That is why he fled. Zimmerman has carrying a handgun. That gives him the ability to perform a violent act. Zimmerman then pursued Martin. That created a well-founded fear that violence was imminent.
