  - I know I keep asking but why is additional headline - " Swedish Baby still in the hands of ISIS" - - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:39 3
    - Next time on 'Okay, But Where Is the Baby?!'... -- nm - TLC Feb 23, 13:46

      - that makes sense. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:42

conservatives are outright trying to stoke a race war: war hero beaten by gang of black lives matter teens -- (link) - zeitgeist Feb 23, 13:17 25
- Assuming the facts are accurate, where is the stoking of a race war? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 13:28 5
  - the teens were not described as local thugs, punks but specifically "gang of black lives matter" teens -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 14:04 1
    - If you lead with "Do black lives matter?", the logical inference is that you're using that as a motivation - Will Hunting Feb 23, 14:14
  - It's zeitgeist, so who knows why he thinks what he does -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 23, 13:58 1

- So, reporting on what happened is trying to stoke a race war? -- nm - The Death Sceire Feb 23, 13:21 17
  - I'm not defending them one bit, but I'd also say calling them "black lives matter" teens is a bit off. - JaxSean Feb 23, 13:35 3
    - Yeah, it makes it sound as if they were possibly not so peaceful protestors. - nic to be determined Feb 23, 13:46 2
      - No, not that at all. If they said "do you believe in God?" and then punched him, the headline shouldn't read "Atheists assault man." - JaxSean Feb 23, 13:52 1
        
        I might not have said it right. But I think we're both right here. That headline/tag is wrong. What those kids did was much worse. -- nm* - nic to be determined Feb 23, 14:01
  - I'd agree with you, but I don't want you to expect me to agree with you, because one day you might want me to like Kaepernick -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:30 11
    - Ha! I'm on the fence with the whole Kaepernick experiment. - The Death Sceire Feb 23, 13:35 1
      - I'm glad I got a "Ha!" out of you :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:43
    - I'm not Sceire but that day has come and gone - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:32 8

        for realz? I have no inside information - rumors of Colts, Jets... -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 13:38 6
        
        No Colts. The combine is here in Indy and he is meeting with 49ers here, in town. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 13:41
        
        if he goes are you going to stay by his side or kick him to the curb? -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:38 4

Tuesday is the Texas primary. The only posters I've seen for President are Sanders and Trump. -- nm - Qale Feb 23, 13:09 10

  - Just to clarify, SS = social security, right? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 13:17 5
    - "first we start with the SA...Then we get the SS" -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 13:55 2
      - have we learned nothing from history??!!! -- nm - Diva Feb 23, 14:05 1
        
        Well, since Candidate Trump appears to be a real thing, I say No. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 23, 14:06
    - if he hadn't said AARP,I'd have wanted clarification too -- nm - crash davis Feb 23, 13:20
    - heh, yes -- nm - ty97 Feb 23, 13:19

I support feminism on a lot of issues, but I've always found the SI Swimsuit Edition argument ridiculous - crash davis Feb 23, 12:39 18
- They do go after the fashion mags. The problem with SI is that the one time a year they heavily feature women it's not women athletes, it's models. - nic to be determined Feb 23, 13:59
- what other essential piece of sports gear has the mag devoted one special issue a year on? I'd like to see a feature on baseball gloves loving photo'd - zeitgeist Feb 23, 12:49 4
  - the NFL Combine is essentially a meat-market for college football players -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 12:55
  - Pick a mag. SI does the swimsuit. ESPN does the body. Who will do the glove love? -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 12:53 2

- TBF, Prince Fielder did make the cover of ESPN's body issue. -- (link) - Ender Feb 23, 12:46 1
  - ESPN is a different animal. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 12:47
- I'd answer that with the fact that there is but as much societal penalty to be an out of shape dude as there is to be an out of shape chick. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 12:43 3
  - Let me tell you about Southwest Airlines.... -- nm - Kevin Smith Feb 23, 12:53 2
    - But that would have applied equally to a woman of his size. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 13:03 1

  - how so? -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 12:39 13
    - You've seen The Incredibles, right? -- nm - David Feb 23, 12:42 12
      - That is about as close as Alan Moore suing Brad Bird. - Spawn Feb 23, 12:51 10
        
        I love Brad Bird and the Incredibles, but I'm surprised Marvel and DC didn't sue the hell out them for that movie. -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 13:04 9
        
        You don't sue someone when they can bring more attention to you product like that. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 13:10 8

        You left cost per book out of your calcs. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 13:17 2
        
        Not necessary as I'm not intending on which has made more money --- just who had the widest viewership. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 13:25 1
        
        Gets more interesting with Incredibles budget of 92M, which means it made a profit of 148M. - Spawn Feb 23, 13:37
        
        oh sure. -- nm - Remlik Feb 23, 13:16 2
        
        Hell, I'd say that the biggest driver of the movie being made is that the Incredibles spiked awareness. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 23, 13:17 1
        
        Of course. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 13:18
