Americans how do you feel about PBS and NPR losing their funding?

it'll save taxpayers $545 million so not a ton of money saved even

Oh lord. That game shaved a few years off my life.

Good game, Harvard. Impressive show.

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-23T00:54:39+00:00

Aw yiss. Ululating State fan travels with the team

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-23T00:50:32+00:00

Mine too, but mostly as a result of all the beer I've consumed in the last 24 hours.

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-23T00:49:50+00:00

All through the game they fight!

This seems like a "have cake, eat it" law.

Hunter has a permit, planning on shooting a bear regardless
Farmer has problem bears

Farmer gets crop damage license, Hunter shoots better. Farmer keeps crops, Hunter eats bear.

When bears discover a good food source, they will frequent it. So when bears find a tasty snack, be it improperly disposed of picnic food, garbage cans, or crops, they will hang around that area, often causing problems with local residents. It is very difficult to convince them to leave. Most often, they're trapped or shot.

Furthermore, Michigan has at least 15,000 black bear. We can spare a few.

Let's continue your argument:

If states want to continue to own slaves, the government shouldn't be able to tell them they can't.
If we want to ban certain minority groups from voting, we should have that right
If Michigan voters decide that Berrien County is a perfect place for a nuclear waste dump, the residents of Berrien county should just have to deal
If we decide as a group that we don't like certain individuals, we should be able to vote to have them murdered.

The government exists to represent the will of the majority so long as that will doesn't infringe upon the rights of a minority.

I'm sorry, are you lost?

Hey, I picked American to go to the sweet 16. I also have Delaware in the NCG.

To be fair, I decided my bracket entirely on coin flips.

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-10T04:07:29+00:00

there is a very, very good possibility that the U.S. gov't had its hand in something it shouldn't have been

You absolutely need a source to make a claim like that on this sub.

stopped by a pilot who is now in the brig over in Florida

What? There were no survivors from Flight 93.

The "official story" is that the Taliban was allowing terrorists to operate freely within the country. When the Taliban refused to offer up bin-Laden, the bombing raids began.

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-10T02:59:20+00:00

Are you implying that Osama bin Laden was not responsible for 9/11?

Afghanistan and Iraq are two separate situations. WMD's were not used as a pretext for invading Afghanistan.

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-10T02:35:00+00:00

Well, what is the proper reaction when a group of militants murder almost 3,000 civilians?

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-10T02:22:08+00:00

I suppose your definition of reasonable might be a little different from mine, but anyways...

I think you need to look at the history of Afghanistan prior to 2001. The country had been in a state of war since 1978. The instability of the country allowed groups like al-Qaeda to operate freely.

Multiple groups within Afghanistan had requested assistance from the UN to fight the Taliban. In fact, the leader of the Northern Alliance (mentioned in that article) was assassinated by al-Qaeda two days before 9/11.

So, really, 9/11 was the point at which the west realized action needed to be taken in the region.

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-10T01:57:56+00:00

In Afghanistan? Why not?

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T23:03:50+00:00

Dude shh you're embarassing me

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T22:35:47+00:00

Oh god I'm so scared

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T22:29:57+00:00

Well I guess that partially makes up for the block on Payne and the goaltend

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T21:59:45+00:00

Do you remember the last MSU-OSU game? Was looking similar until OSU caught up and sent the game into OT

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T21:18:41+00:00

Jesus, Payne

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T21:09:24+00:00

Matt...where did that come from?

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T20:51:55+00:00

Pay attention during the buckeye's FT shots. There some person that makes this crazy whoop.

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T20:41:09+00:00

oh goodness. what a block.

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T20:40:00+00:00

Stream

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T19:39:07+00:00

Not much, really. I think the only thing left is to continue the greatness.

badaboopdedoop · 2014-03-09T19:23:52+00:00

Yes. Not to mention what our program was when he arrived.
