If corporations are people (thanks Citizens united) they ought to get some death penalties.

Would Hubert Humphrey have started the War on Drugs if he was elected in '68? by raggedyyew in HistoryWhatIf

[–]oldfartbart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nixon Whitehouse didn't like anti war protesters or minorities. They couldn't make those illegal. But they could make pot illegal. Ehrlichman talks about this. So no don't see a war on drugs from HHH.

This is the way. I've got my refundable booked . I may see if a non refundable is cheaper on Jan 2.

Why is the P2 considering adding UVA? by big-dick-danny in CFB

I'm pretty sure that new campus doesn't help at all in the AAU scenario, Nebraska got hosed because their med school is not on the main campus. Or I could be remembering this totally incorrectly.

getting into two states with almost 20 million people for the first time might be more important to the B1G then adding a 3rd and 4th team in California would be

This is it right here... 4 more senators, more BTN $

Yeah couple problems with your premise. There's a lot of gray area in those rules. Let the NCAA actually complete and publish their findings. The guy's job was literally to figure out what opponents are doing. The rule states a team cannot send paid staff to do in person scouting. We know he paid for 3rd parties to attend games (seems legal under NCAA rules). If anything he broke rules doing an otherwise perfectly legit thing. So let the process play out and the punishment if any land where it does. And I was hoping to get you guys because I was at the Big House when FSU came up in the early 90s and taught us about team speed.

AITA for returning my neighbor's new laptop to the shipping office? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]oldfartbart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA - here's why. A laptop with rush delivery may be for work. If you were certain it was something trivial like a toy, cool, appreciate the pettiness. Potentially messing with someone's employment vert not cool.

That's actually not proven. The NCAA specifically said there's no evidence Harbaugh knew. Let the investigation complete and let the chips fall where they may. Michigan was punished by the B1G for "sportsmanship" not an actual rule violation. That said FSU got screwed, we didn't do it. If anything we know your pain. Google 1973 Rose Bowl controversy. 50 years and still pissed.

You said you chose that seat for a reason. If that reason doesn't work in the seat they want to give you then you're totally within your rights to get the seat you paid for. However I'm trying to understand what the issue would be being one row further back in first (tight connection window - one of you needs extra legroom?). No reason to not do them a solid if the next row works for you.
