Right, because everyone should live in backwater Florida. So you consider the increase in Chicago's murder rate 'progression'? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...2016/82507210/ They're apparently progressing fairly rapidly. Still obsessed with Chicago, eh? It's still one of my favorite cities, along with New York, Boston, Miami, and San Francisco. You're such a pussy, I'm sure I'll never encounter you there...you're more comfy with your redneck buds at the blown-out grass "festivals." I like San Francisco, but the "progressive" politics has not improved the city over the last 60 years. I worked their for 10 years, and graduated university there so I have an idea of the changes. I also grew up across the bay from SF, and own property there. So I look at the waste of tax money. |

Are you talking about convention delegates? EC electors only get one swing at it, then it goes to the house if nobody has 270. |

The only thing you really come away with is how little most people's votes actually count. It usually comes down to a few swing states because the rest of them are so partisan, one way or the other, that the average guy is lost in the landslide. |

The bible talks about him, then so do era philosophers and historians like Josephus, Pliney, and Tactius. You talk about Ducati's, guns, and big boat ownership. But show no real evidence. Hmmm myths do die hard, eh Obviously you missed the point. Warren's parents told her repeatedly about her native American ancestry. She believed her parents. You believed your parents about Jesus, and also you believed the new testament and others. No real evidence, though, eh? If I were interested in the comments/opinions of the participants here, I'd post photos. I post those elsewhere. You always post pictures of your real possessions - even the Walmart printer in your basement. The imaginary items are all BS. |
