  1. NO, not at all. The salt of the earth. He was especially respectful to the peace officers of this country.
  2. Do you mean the case in which the courts ruled in THEIR FAVOR?
  3. I see. Now we are to pass judgement on the qualifications of someone based upon their "arrogance". I dont think he was arrogant at all and simply outraged over the sham of an "investigation". If we accept your theory on arrogance as a major determinant of qualification, please, do tell, exactly who will be the final arbiter of "arrogance". I perceived the individual who preceeded Trump as president as being very arrogant but , although not by my liking, he was still the President.
  4. So are you saying everything would be hunky dory if we could just separate the wealthy from their money?
  5. If this happens, it will have been a carryover from the Obama administration efforts.
  6. Hagar, you must remember that all evil in this world is attributable to the white christian male who clings to his guns and bible. Anything done wrong by others is through no fault of their own and totally the fault of the aforementioned.
  7. I will respectfully retract my allegation regarding spelling. Please answer this question for me since you brought up daughters. Kate Steinle could have been my daughter and there was absolutely no doubt about how she died. Did anything come of that? Would also like your opinion on something. Let"s assume, for the moment, that in his teens, Judge Kavanaugh DID do some of what was alleged? How many people do you know that, without a doubt, did not do something similar as a youngster? I never had a beer in high school or college ( and cant think of anyone I knew who could make a similar claim) Would that make me , somehow, better qualified for a job/position than some of my friends who did?
  8. Cant argue with that. And that is only on the Republicans because Michelle Obama said, When they go low, we go high. Right?
  9. And was the "daughter" not permitted to speak her peace( note the correct spelling of peace)? If a daughter launches an accusation ( at the urging of others) does that make it automatically true/accurate?
  10. Did anyone choke when the Judge Kavanaugh total joke effort was made?
  11. Just read on another social media site that Trump should have not cancelled her flight, but, instead, should have cancelled her return flight.
  12. Santa, am I understanding you correctly. Silsbee lost to Yates in the basketball playoffs and you think that those three will still in the football playoffs?
  13. Not as high as it was when you were using the two hand set shot
  14. Couldn't have happened to a nicer person.
  15. I dont believe HJ had many second chance points. . I also would guess that Persohn would have most of McCains attention thereby not offering a lot of opportunities for a closeout. If Persohn doesnt get into early foul trouble like last game where he sits more than half of the first half, he will get a few more rebounds than he did from the bench regardless of who guards him.
  16. The mortgage mess was caused by the "subprime" mortgage sector" That sector, by definition, does not involve many upper class folks. The real problem was a "well intentioned" government ( once again, claiming they wanted more people to realize the american dream even if not qualified) trying to influence what ought to be left to the free market. Every problem of poor people is NOT because some rich guy caused it for them even though many on the left subscribe to that belief. Let me give you my opinion on what is responsible for rising prices. Too much credit. If I am trying to sell my house and there are two qualified buyers, I can probably get "x" for my house. However, if a government program suddenly makes two more "qualified buyers" ( and they aren"t qualified because under normal circumstances, they don"t have the income or the down payment that the first two do) that doubles the demand for my house. I am not going to lecture you on the laws of supply and demand but I am sure you get my drift.( price of my home rises) If the government had not come up with the new programs( they think that if it helps people, it must be good and they can therefore tweak markets without any ill effects) much of this would not have taken place. The very people they thought they were going to help are PRECISELY the people that got hurt. From my perspective the predatory lending practice began when the government tried to interfere with/massage well established lending standards.
  17. You are simply saying that all of the Silsbee players would have scored what they scored and the additional player would have just 'added 22.6 points. Think about that and let me know how that works. There are only so many possesions to go around and, at 100% shooting percentage, you are telling me that Silsbee would have, somehow, 11 more possessions. I wonder if some of their made three pointers might have been replaced by an additional player rebounding the ball and scoring?
  18. Look where my comment started in this thread. I responded to someone who disagreed with it and he and I discussed it. Then you jumped in and I responded to you. Don't think I did anything inappropriate.
  19. It may very well be. Never know for sure. But , then again, that was what was "promised" to happen in the first game. The point of bring up the shot( which you didnt seem to comprehend) was that his first statement of "not everything that is possible actually happens" applies to not just one team but both.
  20. I am very familiar with Krugman. I guess this is where you would say "that's one point of view". I also know that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize but we can discuss that another day. Please go back to your scholarly efforts and explain to me, in laymans terms, how a bank/.mortgage company gives a loan to someone with insufficient income and down payment, the customer later defaults, and then we blame that on someone or something other than the FACT that the borrower did not live up to his contract. I would also like to know why you would accept the words of a group of academics over the words of a man who was a member of the crisis committee? Is it safe to assume that you have declared the economist with whom I was in contact, to be unworthy of consideration along with Peter Wallison and, on the other side of the coin, Mr. Krugman is fully credible and beyond question? Does the FACT that he is a columnist for the New York Times impact his credibility?
  21. Not everything that is possible actually happens-(agree) I guess you mean by that the HJ player who attempted the three point shot with 3 seconds to go missed it and might have made it or because he got fouled and not given the opportunity to shoot free throws? Or maybe you mean the Silsbee point guard might have missed some of those 3 pt attempts 6 ft behind the arc? Am gonna need you to explain your contention that the insertion of McCAin in the lineup makes the HJ backcourt turn it over. I have watched the films and disagree. Can you also tell me what other 4A teams the tigers have beaten by a 3 point margin? I have seen the films of the game and I will stand by my original contention.
