      - yeah, they've been doing that around here for a while now -- nm - Beaker Dec 11, 07:32 9
        
        it makes sense in the new places, i don't know how you retrofit those into old urban centers with zero available land. -- nm - Andie Dec 11, 07:34 8
        
        Those boxes don't take up that great deal of space. This was an inevitable move. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 11, 07:46 7

From B2: Time needs to sell magazines, older people buy magazines, older people more likely to buy for the Pope than Snowden. Decision made. -- nm - MDH Dec 11, 06:31 20
- I don't get why people think Time wussed out. The Pope just told 1.2 billion people around the globe to stop worrying so much about homosexuality... - Inigo Dec 11, 06:59 13
  - Also, no Church policies changed on homosexuality, abortion, etc. - ty97 Dec 11, 07:28
  - The last line of your IM is 100% incorrect (though probably most people don't realize that) -- nm - ty97 Dec 11, 07:25 8
    - What I meant is that I think most of the world outside the US and UK don't care what Snowden did. -- nm - Inigo Dec 11, 07:32 7
      - Again, that's not accurate as far as I can tell. - ty97 Dec 11, 07:34 6

        You're talking governments, and world leaders who have to voice their dismay with the US's spying. I'm talking about everyday people. - Inigo Dec 11, 07:37 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I think it caused a lot of teeth gnashing and political appeasement from leaders who wanted to look like they did something. -- nm - Inigo Dec 11, 07:41 1

Westboro Baptist Church tweeted they were going to picket Paul Walker's funeral. I need someone to take those fools to poundtown - Epiphany Dec 11, 06:15 13
- Someone should tell them that if they really want their message to be heard...they should stop picketing the funeral of anyone who dies. -- nm - Jim Dec 11, 06:31 12
  - [deleted] 11
    - as long as they're not taking selfies and posting them on instagram. -- nm - znufrii Dec 11, 07:04
    - *shrugs* I think their message loses a lot when you know that they'll be at every single funeral. - Jim Dec 11, 06:44 9
      - seriously, what IS their message on this one? to me it's "oh, look, those jerks want press coverage again," -- nm - Andie Dec 11, 06:48 8
        
        They gained a lot of attention from demonstrating at veterans' funerals (ostensibly to say God was using war to punish the US); now they picket at any - mara Dec 11, 07:08
        
        it's that, plus they want to be attacked so they have a court case -- nm - Remlik Dec 11, 07:05
        
        I know, right? I thought they hated gay people. Wait a minute...are they suggesting Paul Walker was gay? - Jim Dec 11, 06:53 4
        
        Which has me thinking...we do opponents of gay rights only seem to hate gay men? - Jim Dec 11, 06:54 3

  - [deleted] 19
    - Seriously? - Strongbad Dec 11, 06:32 18
      - If you're keeping Kaepernick over RG3, you're ignoring his 2013 season - Will Hunting Dec 11, 06:48 14
        
        but is he better looking than Kaep? -- nm - Epiphany Dec 11, 07:15 5
        
        Yes. -- nm - Spawn Dec 11, 07:22
        
        No. -- nm - Diva Dec 11, 07:20 3

        I need a gif of Kaep doing that - haaaaaaaaaaaa -- nm - Epiphany Dec 11, 07:33
        
        RG3 is was regressing every game. Benching him was the right move. -- nm - Spawn Dec 11, 06:59 6
        
        Unless he's hurt...it's never the right call to bench the franchise QB who needs reps. - Will Hunting Dec 11, 07:29 5
        
        Whether he's actually hurt or not, expect that to be the story from WAS come 2nd/3rd week of January - Strongbad Dec 11, 07:51
        
        He is not rusty. He is regressing. He is having trouble with even the simple plays now. -- nm - Spawn Dec 11, 07:44
        
        I think you get the other guy out there in this particular case. If the second guy plays well you can trade him for a high pick just like Patriots do - Bacon Dec 11, 07:41 2
        
        They are not going to trade him. - Spawn Dec 11, 07:46
        
        Yeah, this is the Redskins' shot at getting as high a draft pick as possible. -- nm - Inigo Dec 11, 07:43
        
        That's why I listed 9 sure things and a couple of questions - Strongbad Dec 11, 06:50

- Thank god. RG3 take notes on how to hit a receiver. -- nm - MDH Dec 11, 06:24
- this must make the Rams day -- nm - Beaker Dec 11, 06:24
- I don't think Shanny will get canned yet...and even if he does, the way I was hearing it, Cousins would still start. - Jim Dec 11, 06:21
- Watch him complete 70% of his passes and throw for 3 TD's -- nm - Strongbad Dec 11, 06:20 6
  - I hope so. With Mariotta out of the draft and other hopefuls getting hurt....we might be able to parlay a young good QB into a strong draft pick trad -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 11, 06:51 1
    - The Rams will give you their 4th rounder for RGIII. :) -- nm - Jim Dec 11, 06:54
  - [deleted]
  - For the hometown team's sake...I hope he craps the bed and Atlanta wins. I think it would be awesome for the Rams to get the #1 pick again. -- nm - Jim Dec 11, 06:23 2
    - Yes, I know a loss to ATL would only give them the #2... -- nm - Jim Dec 11, 06:23 1
