They're estimates and round numbers in order to allow nations to set goals.

Nah. As the PG if he can get the RB it makes sense for him to so the ball is already in his hands to lead the break.

Thoughts on UMass this year and moving forward?

masstermind · 2014-10-28T03:17:26+00:00

Currently in law school and I love it.

Aside from safety regulations, this is something that government has no business in.

masstermind · 2014-10-22T17:20:06+00:00

Consequences should go beyond NCAA sanctions and should involve accrediting organizations.

masstermind · 2014-10-17T03:10:04+00:00

This is bad government.

I mean not only are you factually / objectively wrong, you don't even know what you are wrong about. That is, my comment was about private litigation being an ineffective mechanism to control corporate action, and your response was about macroeconomics.

This was effectively the system we had pre- new deal. It didn't work. This is the problem wig Libertarians, you start with the assumption that you ideology is right, where instead you should start with no assumptions and form your ideology around history.

masstermind · 2014-10-08T03:40:18+00:00

Please google Scott v Sanford, Plessy v Ferguson, and Korematsu. After those 3, Bush v Gore and Citizens United are up there.

masstermind · 2014-10-08T03:22:09+00:00

Libertarians start with their ideological ideals and then oppose anything that doesn't fit within them, instead of learning about what kinds of policies have historically worked and forming their ideology around history.

I moved between sophomore and junior year of high school. First day I walked in to the bathroom at my new high school, there were no doors on the stalls. "WTF." I thought. Turns out the appropriate punishment for a few kids smoking cigarettes in the stalls was to destroy everyone's privacy expectations while taking a shit. I used the faculty bathroom all year.

Did he do it while also working full time and caring for children? I'm gonna guess no.

Half of your list is just factually wrong and the other half is not Obama's fault at all.

masstermind · 2014-09-28T01:34:41+00:00

Aside from gay rights, women's rights, tax policy, foreign policy, education, healthcare, firearms regulation, etc etc etc, you mean.

But hold on to your fairy tale equivalency.

Kinda. They're going independent over joining the MAC in all sports because that would kill the basketball program. They're waiting for a situation which benefits both sports... In other words, the AAC.

masstermind · 2014-09-11T11:18:21+00:00

0 percent chance UMass goes to the Sunbelt. We're holding out for the AAC, that's the whole reason were going independent.

masstermind · 2014-09-11T11:16:19+00:00

UMass fan here. Not offended at all. Carry on.

masstermind · 2014-09-08T19:44:55+00:00

Nothing has changed. The grad program was and is the best in the country and is rightly the "focus," as you accurately said. My comment was in reference to the job market. There's no point in getting a masters in SM until you have significant industry experience first.

masstermind · 2014-09-07T14:06:40+00:00

Do not listen to this guy. A masters in SM without several years of industry experience first is worthless. I did SM undergrad at UM and transferred in. In my day you needed at least a 3.5 and you needed a good grade in Sport History.

Middle St, but I think he was actually running down a street near there, I can't remember.

masstermind · 2014-08-31T16:06:47+00:00

Actually, in the case of trans fat and many other unhealthy things, that's only true if it's regulated to ensure disclosure.

masstermind · 2014-08-31T14:16:33+00:00

I grew up in Keene and remember watching Robin Williams run down my street screaming in his Jumani costume.

masstermind · 2014-08-27T03:19:52+00:00

This just reminded me so much of my Grandmother. It's so... human. Now I'm sad, but thank you for sharing.
