Is it really the best IPA ever?

I think the lack of clarity was introduced by my use of hypotheticals for arguement's sake and was exacerbated by the vagueness of a conversation about severity and tactics.

All I can say is if they truly expect martyrdom, life in jail is the perfect consequence.

Depends on where you live. In a state with cleaner power, electric is far better. My state has so much coal power that it's a toss up, with an electric edging out a gas guzzler, but about tied with an efficient car. Old coal plants are nasty.

Yeah, I'm actually kind of with you Hix, expanded wind and solar with a nuclear back bone would clean up the air real quick, and it would make those newfangled electric cars more effective.

It closes a loop hole. I know plenty of gun owners who are cool with it. On some fresh issues: When I was in California I was reading the paper and found out that some biofuel power plants are at risk of shutting down because they're being out priced by solar energy. When I got home to Colorado there was a story on the radio about how owning an electric car in my state is not much better than a typical gas engine because most of our electricity comes from coal. It might not grab as many clicks as gun debates, or as emotional rhetoric form the average Joe, or Nancy, but the energy disc

Thanks Kevin and Hixter for helping me mitigate some of my outrage with logic. I would like to reiterate, as you both have already noticed, you did it as a team. Cats and dogs shall now be married. Kevin, I also think you're right on about the blind rage removed from the facts being dangerous. It would seem anger is one of the easier ways to manipulate people.

Interesting. See, I thought the lack of coverage for the first two days was weird. And I don't mean to be cheeky, but how exactly is this different? I mean clearly it has obvious differences from religious-extremist-terrorism, but the racial preference seems apparent to me. I can only put out hypotheticals to illustrate this, which can get pretty silly, but if you follow: Imagine disenfranchised, angry black guy holes up in a post office with a sidearm. You don't think law enforcement would take that person down immediately, as opposed to the kid gloves this self-described militia is bei

Well we might not reach a consensus on the true intention of the second amendment, nor the proper role of firearms in our great nation, but we can all gawk at the fascinating theater of the absurd we call an election year. Also I brought this up in yesteryear's thread: Soooo... how about the armed militia that took over government property? Pretty weird huh?

Still worth it. I'm threatening to make the thread right now!

My brother-in-law is a second A.D. in Hollywood. He's worked for Christopher Nolan on a number of projects including the last two Batman pictures. He thought Ren's voice was a better version of what they were trying to achieve with Bane in the last Batman.

I agree that the consumerism of it gets really gross. The malls, the internet, the pressure. If you're not Christian (my family isn't) that takes out another notch. Being in education I get a solid 2 weeks off. It's a good slow down. I get less busy, if I'm lucky I might even get a little bored. And then family comes into focus. We all get tied up in our own business during the year so it's a vital time to keep connections strong. My sister just had her first kid (I get a nephew!). My wife and I are getting ready to be parents. It's all really nice.

There was a time when Lemmy's cell phone number was leaked. Strangers would call and he'd willingly talk to them. Several friends attest to this when a friend of mine demonstrated this on speakerphone. He called and said: Is this Lemmy? Yeah, who's this? It's Neil, what are you doing? I'm having a beer at the fuckin' bar. What are you doing, Neil?

They're just building anticipation. Expect more Luke in episode viii

Happy holidays everyone!

Maybe she was worried a little gas would slip and make a noise an eavesdropper would describe as "not very presidential". Sub question, what kind of reading material do you think you'd find in the bathroom of the oval office these days?

Daisy Riddley, a star is born. She's spectacular. Adam Driver also brought it. I love the feminist edge, the storm trooper deserter, the family tragedy myth continued. The only retread piece that interrupted my reverie was Death Star 3.0. All that said this is arguably the best looking Star Wars film.

It may not always be authentic, but there's an interest in discussing substantive policy making. Unfortunately after flirting with becoming a little more moderate and trying to attract the non-white vote the establishment GOP started getting its ass kicked by a buffoon. Now they're all selling fear and bigotry. The Democrats are certainly disingenuous at times, but at least they aspire to appear balanced, intelligent and pragmatic.

That's right. Thanks.

The people get the leader they deserve. Is that how it goes? Who said that?

If you're going for sarcasm then I think you missed some of the context of what Mr. Trump was communicating. The word firm sounds benign, however the statement does not.

Pretty cool. Interesting production on top of pretty classic M Ward material about girls and helicopters.

Yeah, the first amendment doesn't protect your job, for better and for worse.

You know there are Chicagoans on this forum, right?
