    After playing I racing on the same track I have been too a nice mber of times and being able to look through corners, I'd hardly call it a failure.

    It felt pretty much the same as being on track since I had the benefit of a force feedback steering wheel. You also had a real sense of speed and I could judge turn in points far more easily.

    She wants me to accept her delusions and avoid reality.

    The world won't accept me as a 16 year old high school student no matter how much I feel like one, any more than the world will accept me at a 70 year old who is eligible for social security.

    The whole debate is blitheringly idiotic. There is no such thing as "transgender". There are male psychological freaks pretending to be women and female psychological ruins pretending to be men. That's it.

    And to anyone who wants to argue otherwise, I will simply point out that I feel that I am 16 years old and fully eligible to play high school sports, and anyone who argues otherwise is transagist. After all, it should be obvious that the year of birth recorded on one's birth certificate means no more than one's sex recorded there, and "age" is nothing more than a social construct.

    Clinton did pay for play.

    Trump gets it on with a lot of women.

    So do we pick the playboy, or the woman who puts the interests of foreign governments before America?

  11. Conservatives can't conserve anything. Its a brand name rather than an actual set of principles, and they hardly fight.

    Trump is no conservative, but he is a fighter. That is probably why the base latched on to him, because he seems like he will actually fight rather than acquiesce like the Republican party has during my lifetime. They really do seem to play as the Generals to the Globe Trotters.

  12. Harping on global warming in the first world countries and west is not going to do a thing. You have 6 billion people who want to industrialize and improve their standard of living through cheap energy. If you can somehow convince those people, and their governments, to hamstring their own short term progress for a long term gain you are one heck of a salesman.

    Democratic enthusiasm is pretty low, whereas there was record turnout for the republican primary.

    That certainly works in Trump's favour. Hispanic turnout is relatively low historically, and Obama got 71% of the latino vote the last time around.

    Trump is doing better than any recent GOP politican with black voters getting around 15%, compared to Romneys 6%.

    If Romney had gotten 5% more of the white vote he would have won. Of course down the line with different demographics, Republicans will have a harder time.

    I'm curious why he didnt talk about that as it is part of the same statute.

  22. Network TV is female focused on Men Are Sabotaging The Online Reviews Of TV Shows Aimed At Women (fivethirtyeight.com) · · Score: 1

    TV procedurals highly skew female which I was rather surprised to learn.

    from tv by the numbers: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.c...

    1.00 = equal ratings for men and women 18-49, Below 1.0 = more men, Above 1.0 = more women

    NCIS 1.19
    NCIS:LA 1.25
    CSI: Miami 1.29
    CSI 1.55
    CSI:NY 1.55
    Criminal Minds 1.57
    Law & Order 1.73
    Glee 1.76
    Law & Order:SVU 1.84

    by comparasion in 2010, these were the only network shows to skew male:
    Simpsons 0.67
    Family Guy 0.68
    Cleveland Show 0.71
    Chuck 0.83
    Fringe 0.95
    24 0.97

    TV is female centric. Check out viewing numbers. Men only watch sports and fox's sunday night lineup, just about everything else on network tv heavily skews female by a wide margin.

  25. Re:FM radio's last gasp? on Campaign Demands Telecoms Unlock the FM Radio Found in Many Smartphones (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 2

    NPR finds a way to inject race into a lot of topics in their news coverage. They also spend an inordinate amount of time on black people's issues, a lesser amount of time on hispanic related issues, and asians simply don't exist.

    While I enjoy Marketplace, most of these other programming has a liberal slant to it. Terry Gross's "Fresh Air" slants left, Michel Martin's old show "Tell Me More" slanted left, Dianne Rehm's "Dianne Rehm show" has civil discussions from all over the spectrum, but you can tell from Dianne's attitude and questions where her politics lie.
