When you compare how much money a top level football program brings into the university to a coach's salary, the coach's salary is peanuts. Not all college football programs show such large profits, but the majority of them pay for themselves.
I went to school at the University of Alabama (1971-1975), and yes, Coach Saban makes more money than God. He also brings in millions more for the school to use for things other than football. Good deal for what we pay him.
I know every college football program can't be like that, but you'd be surprised how many are.
I was in agreement with you right up to the end where you seem to think it's just the Republicans who want to do evil. No, it's ALL of them, Democrats included.
I also noticed you said "faction" earlier in your post. No, friend, it's not just a faction. It's all of government. It's like a multi-headed beast and you're seeing only one of the faces. Sure, the heads bark and snap at each other so it looks like they're on opposite sides, but make no mistake. They're on the same beast.
Have you never heard the old expression, a government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take everything you have?
Don't be misled. Really do think for yourself and quit believing all the propaganda from BOTH sides.
Meanwhile it's okay with Zuckerberg and Merkel (and others of their ilk) that the immigrants can hate Europeans as much as they want. Both of them are too damned stupid to see what is actually happening. Either that or they're evil. I can believe either case.
According to all the people who post here there can never be a definition of 'communism' or 'socialism', because there are as many definitions as there are people.
Of course they're all wrong. Somebody didn't pay attention in school.
Yes, the rights preexist and the government can't take away what they didn't grant. The United States Constitution does this the right way, something NO other constitution does. The men who founded the country recognized the evil of government and how it can easily get out of control. All attempts to copy it have failed miserably if preexisting rights are left out. You have to protect basic preexisting human rights at all costs, even if it is detrimental to the state. That's what worries me when people are in favor of "collective" types of government, where the state's survival and rights (not individuals') are paramount.
If the government can't get into this particular iphone, something bad MAY happen. If it can get into it, something worse WILL have happened.
Even easier - there are these things called phones. I have the numbers for all the local pizza places already saved on my phone. Touch the name and the phone makes the call. Why use an app when you can just call?
You don't need the internet for every freaking thing you do.
I work with municipal utility companies and so far nobody I know of has upgraded to Windows 10. Stability and security are their major concerns. One IT guy told me that he had enough headaches to deal with already and didn't need another one. Can't say that I blame him.
Right. A much better one would be a sense of humor. I've never met a humorless person who could be considered intelligent. I've known lots of smart people with no sense of humor, and even more uneducated intelligent people who had a keen sense of humor.
Good post, but you'll probably get modded down. Slashdotters can't stand reason. Most aren't scientists and have no clue as to how science actually works.
If your writing has to be explained, then you're doing it wrong. I told the same thing to one of my college English professors about some of poets we were studying. I think I'm still right. Communication should be simple and straightforward. Making it meaningful and beautiful at the same time is called talent.
The type of writing you've just explained can best be called cryptic. "Deep" doesn't mean "hard to figure out".
The attacks would not have happened without radical Muslims. Oh, but that's not politically correct to say, is it? Well, the truth is the truth whether anybody likes it or not. France has allowed tens of thousands of Muslim immigrants into the country, they're multiplying like rabbits, and some of them are radicals. You can't tell the difference until something happens. Best to severely limit how many get into your country. Actually, best to keep them out altogether until they become civilized enough to live in a first-world country.
Sometimes that can be a good thing. I've seen apps that start out great but get worse and worse with each new update. I kind of like seeing what's coming and being able to stick with an older version if I want it.
I think Ralph McTell wrote about her in his song, Streets of London!
"Have you seen the old girl Who walks the streets of London Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags? She's no time for talking, She just keeps right on walking Carrying her home in two carrier bags."

More specifically, fuck Disney.

We discontinued Timothy due to popular demand!

Can you not read? The top 1% includes the billionaires, and they pay more in taxes than you make.
I know a billionaire who has fed 10,000 Haitian children per day since the earthquake. What have you done lately?
Only if it reaches the ground like mine.
They calls me "Tripod"!
How is killing unborn babies not considered the ultimate hate?

My children look remarkably like me. Lucky them!
That's about as perfect as it gets. Who needs more?
Not me. When I saw her photo, I thought at first that it was Bruce Jenner!
Sorry, I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
You mean I can't buy one at Newegg next month? Maybe by Christmas? Ten years from now?
Drat!

Yes! That's her!!
Even the government is wise enough to not allow its employees to handle cash. Can you imagine the number of thieves in any government bureaucracy?
You will know them by their fruits. Never listen to what a man says; watch what he does. His actions speak more about his faith than a billion words.
Oh, and I'm tired of "judge not, lest ye be judged" being used over and over out of context. Read the whole book and learn what it really means.
I've heard something similar to that before.
Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with a grease pencil, cut it with an ax. No errors there for sure!
I guess grammar is not taught in schools nowadays. Either that or a whole lot of "social promotion" is going on.
No math, no grammar, no civics, no history . . . . just wtf are they teaching the kids?!?!
I know, I know!! How to be a SJW! That seems to be the only thing of importance.
