      - Most doorings happen when people are getting out of parked cars. -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 11:15 1
        
        it's kind of dumb to be riding so close to the cars ... but you have to keep an eagle eye out for doors if you do. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 11:16
    - [deleted]

- the Union would never go for that IM. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 23, 10:22 7
  - then if they lose one of these lawsuits or settle, they will never get out from under their legal mess. never -- nm - Beaker Jan 23, 10:24 6
    - the universe of all current and former NFL players is not as large as we probably think -- nm - charlie Jan 23, 10:25 5
      - but if every player can sue them for millions and win or get a settlement why would the League owners wnat to go on? -- nm - Beaker Jan 23, 10:26 4
        
        i don't know that every player is going to be a potential claimant. but if worst comes to absolute worst they declare chapter 11 and work it out -- (link) - charlie Jan 23, 10:28 2
        
        ahh interesting, wouold that cover future instances/lawsuits as well? -- nm - Beaker Jan 23, 10:29 1
        
        one would think that the league only enters into a comprehensive settlement if it is prospective and reflective - charlie Jan 23, 10:39
        
        cause their are always new players joining the League -- nm - Beaker Jan 23, 10:27

Strongbad: The districts aren;t even at all in NOVA. They lumped all the Dems into 1-2 districts. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:16 28
- [deleted]
- I'm just trying to understand if VA does the same thing that GA does - Strongbad Jan 23, 10:17 25
  - [deleted]
  - Checking on wiki, the populations are around the same - the issue is really about how the boundaries are determined. -- nm - Roger More Jan 23, 10:20 12
    - right, it's childishly simple to concentrate one party into a few districts. - Reagen Jan 23, 10:25 5
      - But two of the three largest districts are their party. That means they're not very good at being evil geniuses. -- nm - spamlet Jan 23, 10:45 4
        
        you two are talking about two different concepts - Don Homer Jan 23, 10:49 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        You're right. I should know better than to bring in things like "data" and "facts" into partisan arguments. -- nm - spamlet Jan 23, 11:24 1
        
        [deleted]
    - * at least, they had the same population in 2000 -- nm - Roger More Jan 23, 10:21 5
      - NOVA's population in the past 3 years has boomed, I can't imagine the change in the past 12. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:22 4
        
        And when redistricting happens following the 2010 census results, the districts will again have equal populations - Roger More Jan 23, 10:26 3
        
        post-2010 redistricting is already in effect. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 10:30 2
        
        Is it? But still... the boundaries! -- nm - Roger More Jan 23, 10:33 1
        
        You seem to forget my post from the other day. VA is re re-distriscting and getting rid of a Dem district. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 11:05
  - yes, all districts are supposed to be roughly the same population size. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 10:18 9
    - *Laughs* yeah, except NOVA, VA Beach, and Richmond happen to not be, and what do they all have in common? -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:19 8
      - not sure what you are arguing, but I'm pretty certain federal dictates that the pop sizes can't deviate too much from one to another within a state. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 10:29
      - the census says all districts are between 650k and 850k in size. The two largest are 10 and 11 in NoVA. - spamlet Jan 23, 10:25 1
        
        And VA-10 is a R district. As is VA-1, the third largest district. -- nm - spamlet Jan 23, 10:26
      - If true, I don't understand this at all. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 23, 10:21
      - uh, I dont' know. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 10:21 3
        
        All blue. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:22 2
        
        I need proof that Richmond and VB are blue. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 10:25 1
        
        Look at any voting tracking map. VA Beach is beyond blue. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:41
  - Basically the complete opposite. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:18
- in VA* -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:16
