Survivor folks...looks like the theme and title for Season 34 - the All Star season filming now has been leaked - Jim Jun 29, 12:46 5
- heh "Although applying this concept to everyone on the cast is sure to require a lot of spin on the part of the producers." -- nm - mud Jun 29, 12:49 4
  - Well, they have at least 4 people on the cast who a casual fan of the show won't even remember...(spoils) - Jim Jun 29, 12:53 3
    - Survivor 34: It's Who We Could Get -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 12:54 2
      - Actually, it's not like that. According to the list of players in contention to play this season... - Jim Jun 29, 12:58
      - Sandra again! Cirie again! Ozzy again!!! -- nm - mud Jun 29, 12:56

no, chubbers, there is no try. Do, or donut. -- nm - Max Jun 29, 12:40
Then yes Sceire - by those criteria I set out, your not a sexist. -- (edited) - Mel Profit Jun 29, 12:32 30
- Oh, I'd use arrogant and aloof for men, too. - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 12:35 29
  - Here's a question for you then, and this is just out of curiosity.... - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 12:58 23
    - If those "people" aren't named Connor, Declan, or Ronan, then I'm not responsible for how they act in this world... - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 13:10 21
      - Thanks for your perspective, and groiny as well. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 13:21
      - Here we fundamentally disagree - Reagen Jun 29, 13:18 19
        
        with grown adults? I doubt anything I say is going to change anyone's opinion or mind on anything. -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 13:26 4
        
        Turn it around though - are there people that you look up to as a model? Someone who, if they say something that you disagree with at first glance, - Roger More Jun 29, 13:37 2
        
        depends on the conversation, really. - groiny Jun 29, 13:40 1
        
        But even if you're not in the conversation. Like, there are people here who are really good at defusing a conflict, even when it's directed at them - Roger More Jun 29, 13:50
        
        1) you'd be surprised at what a polite intervention can do 2) it doesn't have to happen in one fell swoop. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 13:28
        
        Uh...I agree, but what you say here is not what znu was asking. -- nm - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 13:21 13
        
        Maybe different by a hair, but not much. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 13:23 12
        
        So the speaker is always responsible for how their words are interpreted by each individual that hears them? - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 13:27 11
        
        I think you've got to be aware of it. Someone who likes me is going to have a very different view of what I say than someone who doesn't. - Roger More Jun 29, 13:40 5
        
        I believe I can say that I do not care for Hilary Clinton without worrying about how the person hearing me - groiny Jun 29, 13:43 4
        
        For me, it depends on context. Like, on HSX there's a guy who complains continually about Ghostbusters every time it comes up, how it's going to bomb, - Roger More Jun 29, 13:56
        
        depending on what you say, sure. - Mel Profit Jun 29, 13:52
        
        I can print you out a badge too, if you'd like. :) -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 13:48
        
        Or at least you should be able to... - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 13:45
        
        Communication requires both a speaker and a listener. It is quite possible for a speaker to communicate something to a listener that the speaker - TWuG Jun 29, 13:34
        
        I wouldn't say to each individual, no, but in regards to the cultural impact in a collective sense, yes. - znufrii, dad. Jun 29, 13:32
        
        there is some responsibility on the part of the speaker to communicate in a way that the listener will truly hear the message. -- nm - Andie Jun 29, 13:30 1
        
        lol -- nm - Trump Jun 29, 13:31
        
        weighted for the effect of the speaker, absolutely. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 13:28
    - not one minute. -- nm - groiny Jun 29, 12:58
  - "ambitious" or the better, "overly ambitious" is usually the one that people spot. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 29, 12:51 3
    - yeah, I mean when it comes to the state or national levels, what politician isn't ambitious? -- nm - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 12:56 2
      - Fred Thompson? -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 12:56 1
        
        Damn you Fred Thompson! -- nm - SGTAmerica #TeamCap Jun 29, 13:12

  - $87M guaranteed. $75M of that in the 1st 3 years -- nm - decline Jun 29, 13:01
  - And to think...Von Miller just turned down 6 years for $114.5. Fuckin nuts -- nm - Jim Jun 29, 12:59
- but not allowed to touch Ringo's drums, Prince's, Dylan's or Garcia's guitars -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 29, 12:45
- not bad for the 38th-ranked QB in the NFL last year -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 12:28 2
  - potential ML, it's all about potential -- nm - decline Jun 29, 12:31 1
    - When an NFL team is willing to pay me $20+ million a year to throw the ball to the other team, I'm willing to do my part just saying. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jun 29, 12:34
- Elite! -- nm - Beaker Jun 29, 12:27
