    To paraphrase The West Wing, I agree with Rand Paul, and you know how that drives me crazy: https://time.com/3605426/ferguson-mi...son-rand-paul/

    Lots of "interesting" posts to read guys keep them coming as I need something to keep me entertained here at the office today.

    The only thing worthy of comment to me is Jeff's comments about the STL. I lived in STL for 5 years (2002 - 2007) and the place while I lived there was an absolute DUMP. The crime rate was ridiculously high (going back and forth with Detroit for highest violent crime rate in America). It was so....... bad that almost all decent people (of all races) fled the city out to West County (or another suburb). The ONLY reason(s) people went into the city limits was: (1) office/work; (2) sporting event.

    Then MO passed tort reform and a ton of business left the city limits and moved out to St. Louis County to get a better (more conservative) jury pool and avoid an all homeless jury award millions of dollars for paper cut "injuries". I cannot comment on STL post 2007 but I can only assume the city has stayed the same (or gotten worse) since I left.

    NOTHING I have seen from Ferguson has surprised me as there is simply a substantial % of the population in the area that are just looking for an excuse to rob/steel/loot.

    Chris Kluwe is an interesting person but some of his tweets the other day were funny


    These were a few doozies as well by this blogger


    And of course no one goes harder than us West Virginians after WVU wins a game they probably weren't suppose to...or they were doesn't matter . Though that typically just means occasionally flipping cars and burning couches

    Sadly, we are far from alone in that here. Plenty of other areas with the same problem, just (fortunately) without the cover of a reason or excuse.

    I doubt it. It's trash like most other channels. I don't know anyone who still watches it.

    America has so many problems I wouldn't know where to begin.

    I'd vote it as dumbest.

    dhook is a walking insult to every person who has ever served, been saved, or been graced by what that flag represents.

    Spoiled, conceited, selfish, self-absorbed brat.

    Probably missing a couple of things, but that covers most of it.

    how'd Mike Brown punch you w his right hand on right side of your face as you sat in drivers seat?
    What a dumb point. Because Wilson's neck isn't capable of turning, and he's only allowed to keep his body straight forward looking out the front of the windshield?

    it drives something when a bunch of Asians are acting distinctly black per what tv told them.
    Asians wouldnt act like black rappers unless they saw it on tv and mimicked it. So yes it drives it.

    Your assumption is that "acting" like a particular "artist" is new? Little Asian girls liked and dressed like Madonna, they love Elvis etc. Nothing new. The look is a reflection. We may not like the look and the look may have dubious origins but it is not the problem.

    Guess she just wondered why it wasn't asked. Just because it may appear to be dumb doesn't make it a reason not for it to be asked.

    You would think it would be difficult for two guys 6-4, and especially for a 6-4, 300+ pound guy to maneuver in such tight space. "Full force" may be a bit of a stretch given the constraints of a cop vehicle, let alone a vehicle to begin with

    Unless he was Bruce Lee

    And 10x also differs from 2x....by about 8 punches, unless you view it from the eyes of the judge from the Mayweather vs Alverez fight.

    I'm no legal expert but all of those seem like common sense but just my opinion.
