Phelps has to make good money to feed all of his kids...

That's not a new idea. The Soviets were kicking around the concept in the 1920's. It's the idea on steroids. High dose steroids.

Sad story. I am not a doctor (LOL), but it seems pretty obvious that ramming your head many many times against something at high speed and high weight is not a good thing long term.

@xenon said in Board and card games: We’re at the point where my oldest son can legitimately play board and card games with us. (No kid gloves) Current favorite is Monopoly Deal (card game, nothing like the board game). What games are your family faves? There are some good collaborative games out there - where all the players work to beat the game. Individually, an 8 year old may be too tough to play/undersatnd, but when part of a group, it may be fun.

Strangely, I find myself anticipating the second installment. I guess that's my respect for Kostner's story telling ability. A three-hour movie to only set the scene and poorly introduce the characters seems excessive. He should have taken a page from Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven and had text doing a quick introduction and back story as the characters appeared. The only character I know the full name of is his.

I wouldn't say they are overeducated, just educated beyond their intelligence.

We do seem to be working up to a major war.

You're in favor of censorship?

I would be. Still it seems to me starting early just takes away from revenue you might have had if you waited.

All women are virtuous.

@LuFins-Dad said in Abrosexual: How is this different from bi-sexual? As best as I can understand, the sexual attraction can be hetero or homo, depending upon the life stage. I/O, but nothing in between?

Referring suspect law breakers for prosecutions? No problem with that at all.

You know, I heard Tyrus on FOX say the same thing on three different programs while discussing the DNC. He made it a point to congratulate the Chicago PD on a job well done. There were no major incidents. He noted a couple of things: The walls, the tight security and the allowed protest areas, with abundant police presence. The DNC made sure they were well protected. The fact that most of the delegates and many of the speakers hated the police and would gladly defund them, as soon as the convention was over, yet the cops were still out there, protecting the people that hated them.
