  Wow…

  …now that was a well constructed argument.

  Bravo.

  @ the rusky
  It is the abuse of an item (gluttony) which is forbidden in the bible. A glass of wine with dinner is fine with may denominations.

  Also, if you are going to create a strawman, pick the right one. The idea of the Church digging into our personal lives would be akin to the Inquisition, not the Crusades.

  Other than that, nice, if uninformed, try.

  Please… provide these facts of which you speak. Making an unfounded statement regarding something is what makes you a hack.

  They were fighting in hockey long before any of you saw it on TV.

  Nice try at placing your views on something of which you have no knowledge.

• Is This Vicious NHL Hit Worth 25 Playoff Games?

  JJ…

  …Just because someone doesn‘t agree with you doesn’t mean they aren’t a “hockey fan”.

  I have watched hockey for many years. I have been to more games than I can count. I have the signed pucks and every ticket from every home playoff game (all 4 rounds) the season my Lightning won the Cup. I agree that the game gets litigated more than it should now (which I think stems from the stupid instigator rule).

  However, all of that said, you cannot look at that video and not see that Torres left his feet. Further, it is currently illegal to “ring his bell a bit”, like it or lump it.

  Do I wish that the players could police this? Yes Yes Yes. It used to be that one of the top Phoenix players would have been demolished within 3 shifts. Sadly, can’t do that anymore. Those hits were never OK in hockey, it was just a different method of enforcement.

  I really don’t get, if you are really a fan of hockey, how you can say that hit wasn’t dirty. Frankly, even if he did have the puck, and it didn’t look like Torres was trying to deflect it on the way to his hit, it was still a penalty. Headshots just aren’t legal and leaving your feet to deliver one never was (to the players at least).

• Obama: ‘30 Million Americans’ Will Have Healthcare ‘Next Year’ Because of Obamacare

  Broker… what the hell?

  He was pointing out his personal experience of what the current cost curve is doing to his family.

  A grand a month… nice figure… so, if you make 50k a year, a grand a month is almost 25% of your GROSS pay. Sorry, but 50k a year doesn’t seem like loser category to me.

  Parse yourself before you post such nonsense.

• NBC News: A Settlement Was Paid Out in Cain Sexual Harassment Case

  October 31, 2011 at 7:03pm

  Encicom – Where does it say “large settlement”…

  … further, it is from a trade organization he was president of… do you know how those groups typically work? how many times a year they may meet?

  I am going to go with the standard “don’t care because my opinion on the case is fact” argument you normally spew.

• Couple Wins $4.5 Million in ‘Wrongful Birth’ Lawsuit After Claiming They Would Have Aborted Disabled Son

  In reply to TxMadMac.

  I fail to see what the typical Casey Anthony red herring has to do with this story.

  Whether you like it, or not, she was tried in a court of law and acquitted. I don’t like the verdict any more than you (I am sure she is guilty, but it can’t be proven beyond a REASONABLE doubt), but that doesn’t condemn the entire system.

  It is already old, and reeks of the lack of any solid argument.

  However, this case is beyond the pale in terms of medical malpractice. These “lawyers” who pursue suits on absurd claims, hoping to enrich themselves at the expense of the doctor (and, by extension, the rest of us in the medical system), are the real issue with the cost of American health care. Clamp down on them (how you do that is probably complicated) and we can get back to a medical system that relies on the competence of our providers, and only punishes those who intentionally (or through sheer incompetence) make these kind of mistakes.

  Once again, I feel terrible and will pray for this family. If they lived in my community, I would offer help (time, help with transport, etc.) to them. They do not, so I leave that to their community. However, our system now has all of us offering help (at a hefty discount both to the government and the law group(s) involved), without our counsel, or our consent.

  How is that liberty? How is that freedom? Compassionate tyranny is still tyranny.

  @loriann12

  Yes… Euros use a different order for month and day… but their intelligence agencies were fully aware of the different ways of explaining a date and time… as they are now.

  To think that a simple error in recognizing the date of a potential attack is even remotely likely… well… not sure what to even say to that.
