Aside: Breaking Bad season 5 premiere was the highest rated episode of the series. That can only happen thanks to Netflix. - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 19, 09:49 3
- netflix canada didn't get BBs4 until that weekend ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 19, 09:50 2
  - That should not happen, and Breaking Bad's success should be a lesson to Hulu. - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 19, 09:53
  - Same thing here. I'm guessing it was a contractual thing from AMC. They wanted DVD sales for Season 4. -- nm - Inigo Jul 19, 09:53

- What you mean, "you people!" -- nm - MDH Jul 19, 09:50 1
  - In that context? The press. -- nm - TWuG Jul 19, 09:56
- "Every time Mitt Romney gets asked for his tax returns, a job dies." -- nm - con_carne Jul 19, 09:48
- If there's nothing in the returns other than He's Rich, they probably screwed up big time. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 19, 09:48 3
  - Seriously. I think I am like most people, I don't care that he is rich - amoxy Jul 19, 09:51 2
    - I want to know how he made it. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 19, 09:57

Breaking Bad s1 episodes 4 and 5 last night (spoilers, I guess) - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 19, 09:36 5
- I've only caught the end of last season. There's too much melodramatic nostril flaring to make me want to watch earlier eps. -- nm - Max Jul 19, 09:45 1
  - Well, now you'll never know why you should strictly follow Mr White's instructions for body disposal. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 19, 10:06
- episode 6 has a top 5 moment of the series imo -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 09:38 2

- This doesn't seem worded right, since it would seem that access to education or condoms, not "health care," would be the prevailing issue. - Max Jul 19, 09:34 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - aha, I hadn't thought of testing awareness -- nm - Max Jul 19, 09:42

Thoughts while watching the Emmy nomination broadcast - should they discourage applause completely? - MojaveMeg Jul 19, 09:19 5
- Question: Why were 7 supporting comedy actresses nominated but only 6 supp. comedy actors? -- nm - TWuG Jul 19, 09:25 3
  - Scratch "supporting" from that question. 7 lead women, 6 lead men in comedy. Why the disparity? -- nm - TWuG Jul 19, 09:26 2
    - This women's lib business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -- nm - Max Jul 19, 09:29 1
      - .. but if it's a death by snu snu, that will be an honourable death. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 19, 09:43

I've come to realize that my best strategy in SongPop is to pick a category I'm unfamiliar with and suck less than the other guy. -- nm - Mop (199 lbs) Jul 19, 09:08 3

should mortgage counseling be mandatory? -- (link) - znufrii Jul 19, 09:06 38
- a course on personal/business/government budgeting should be mandatory in high school everywhere. -- nm - Max Jul 19, 09:12 6
  - Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 19, 09:35
  - no argument there. -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 09:19
  - I think in college as well. -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 09:19 1
    - sorry to AAM, but the face eater is 45 years old and doesn't know how to read an electric bill. - amanda Jul 19, 09:20
  - agreed. there should be several life skills classes. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 19, 09:17
  - I lik this -- nm - Epiphany Jul 19, 09:15
- [deleted] 29
  - Take the devil's advocate here and argue why it's different to require a driver's license test, when widespread mortgage failure affects the economy - Max Jul 19, 09:17 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - I want to say amortization tables should be mandatory documents, but maybe they already are. Does anyone know? -- nm - Max Jul 19, 09:23 1
        
        Don't think we got anything like that. -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 09:26
  - I'd say the consequences of those are already fairly well understood on a cultural level - znufrii Jul 19, 09:14 23
    - [deleted] 16
      - There is tons of cultural information about marriage that gets transmitted every day. - znufrii Jul 19, 09:30 14
        
        I am sorry, a mortgage is not really that complicated. It is rather basic math, in fact. - The Dark Spawn Jul 19, 09:35 2
        
        fine, then about the consequences of major financial decisions. - znufrii Jul 19, 09:43 1

        [deleted] 9
        
        no, I'm speaking to the general availability of cultural information about it. - znufrii Jul 19, 09:41 6
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        its accuracy or lack thereof is actually completely irrelevant to the point. - znufrii Jul 19, 09:52 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        someone's *fighty* today.. -- nm - znufrii Jul 19, 10:08
        
        newspapers are cultural information. radio, news, web, etc? -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 09:42 1
        
        they sure are. - znufrii Jul 19, 09:45
        
        "Your marriage license will be approved upon submission of proof you have seen 'Kramer vs. Kramer' and 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' - Dr.Vermin Jul 19, 09:36
        
        [deleted]
      - Exactly. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 19, 09:24
    - See, I think the opposite. We deal with money nearly every day. Not so much, the others. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 19, 09:15 5
      - but we only deal with it on a very simple transactional level. - znufrii Jul 19, 09:17 4
        
        Ok, different way of looking at it. How many divorces happen each year? How many bank repos of homes? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 19, 09:28
        
        [deleted]
        
        Then we are flawed as a species, if that is true. - The Dark Spawn Jul 19, 09:23
        
        but we think about it every day on a more macro level. or we should. -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 09:21
  - Life Counseling. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 19, 09:10
- the mortgage has to want to change -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 19, 09:07
thanks a million. -- nm - amanda Jul 19, 09:05
