- apparently, this "diminishes U.S. credibility with regard to genocide prevention." - znufrii Apr 24, 12:43 10
  - The US gets blamed regardless, these days. Do nothing, or look like imperialists. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 24, 12:45 6
    - I just don't see the connection between calling something that happened almost 100 years ago out as genocide, and the prevention of future genocides - znufrii Apr 24, 12:48 5
      - Note: these deflections of the original point would carry far more gravitas if preceded with something like "Yes, that is disappointing." - TFox Apr 24, 12:52 3
        
        And give JackDawson the pleasure of seeing me admit that he's right? NEVER!!! -- nm - znufrii Apr 24, 12:54 2
        
        Or to give yourself the pleasure of being taken seriously occasionally. :) -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 12:54 1
        
        Why would I be interested in that? -- nm - znufrii Apr 24, 13:04
      - I think it's just a heavy, heavy word. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 12:49
  - what credibility? -- nm - Rwanda Apr 24, 12:45 1
    - exactly. -- nm - znufrii Apr 24, 12:46
  - [deleted]
- Asking, because I don't know: he promised to call it genocide? - TFox Apr 24, 12:41 24
  - Recognizing the "genocide" is a hot button issue for Turkey at a time when that country is trying to get into the EU. - con_carne Apr 24, 12:45 9
    - be sure to pick up Obama's next book, "Profiles in Compromise" -- nm - pigby Apr 24, 12:49 8
      - well, let's see *you* hold to your principles and at the same time actually try to be able to get anything done around here. -- nm - Obama si Apr 24, 12:53 6
        
        what good are principles at all if don't hold to them? -- nm - pigby Apr 24, 12:57 5
        
        Depends. Different principles have different degrees of importance. - TWuG Apr 24, 13:01
        
        what good are principles if they lead to poor outcomes? -- nm - Roger More Apr 24, 12:59 3
        
        should principles be easily swayed? if so, are they really principles? -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 13:00 2
        
        Not easily. But Turkey and Armenia are working towards normal relations. They don't even have an open border at the moment - Roger More Apr 24, 13:04
        
        Not every principle has the same degree of importance. If you let a minor principle stand in the way of achieving a great good are you justified? -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 13:03
      - I'm pretty sure he promised compromise with his whole "working across the aisle" thing. - TWuG Apr 24, 12:52
  - Yes. And has done so in the past, but didn't do so while in Turkey. -- (link) - TWuG Apr 24, 12:45 7
    - OK, interesting. That is dissapointing. -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 12:47 6
      - You know it's Serj Tankian's pet charity, right? - con_carne Apr 24, 12:51 5
        
        I thought it was stupid beards. -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 12:53
        
        Yeah, I know he's involved in Armenian causes. I just didn't realize labelling the thing was that strong a pledge. -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 12:53 2
        
        from what I understand it's a super hot button on both sides. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 12:57 1
        
        Yeah, I'm just not an Armeniologist. -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 12:58
        
        the only reason I know anything about it is that there were a lot of Armenians in my community when I was a kid. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 12:53
  - it matters a lot to Armenians. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 12:42 5
    - I know, but he got up and said, "Listen folks, when I'm President, mark my words: I'm calling that shit 'genocide'.... - TFox Apr 24, 12:45 4
      - It's been an issue in recent years. Canada moved to officially recognize it about two years ago. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 24, 12:53 3
        
        Turkey recalled their Ambassador to Canada over it fairly recently IIRC. -- nm - TWuG Apr 24, 12:57 2
        
        just the other day I think. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 12:58 1

The Patriots are trying to move into the Top-10 of the draft, according to SI's Peter King. - TFox Apr 24, 12:30 4
- What happened to everybody trying to trade *down*? -- nm - nubby Apr 24, 12:38 3
  - I think that is still the goal for the top 5 or so. -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 12:38 2

        My Grand Prix is an auto. I really miss having the manual transmission. Been drooling over the new Mad Max looking Charger. I want one bad -- nm - Redmond on a phone Apr 24, 12:53 1
        
        of course it's an auto, dumbass. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 12:59

      - Its paid off so I keep it. I love not having a car payment - Redmond on a phone Apr 24, 12:36 2
        
        six months left for me to pay off the Toyota. so looking forward to it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 12:47 1

- Moreno is going to go to a playoff team. He was the best player for GA last year, not Stafford. I'd take him. -- nm - David Apr 24, 12:20 8
  - so what you are saying is that he should trade for trent green, got it. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 24, 12:21
  - [deleted] 6
    - I really disagree. You are almost assured to get the better RB at the cheaper price for the next 2 years with MJD. - TFox Apr 24, 12:27 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        That I would not do, even as a Brady fan. But for a top-5 RB at cheap money for 2 years.... - TFox Apr 24, 12:38 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        ML, I say this with the upmost respect: if you passed up MJD for a RB under Belichick who just landed Fred Taylor... - TFox Apr 24, 12:43 1

- Moreno is going to go to a playoff team. He was the best player for GA last year, not Stafford. I'd take him. -- nm - David Apr 24, 12:18
- As I am a huge fan of "win now when you can", I probably strongly consider MJD. -- nm - TFox Apr 24, 12:16
Capstern found us? Or is it a jokester? -- nm - wang Apr 24, 12:07 18
- It is me - i have known where you are for a while - just never any time to get on during the day....busy. Good news in tough economics tho we did - Capstern Apr 24, 12:22
- the trust level around here is at an all time low -- nm - pigby Apr 24, 12:12 11
  - I'm more concerned that this 'wang' guy is ML -- nm - Roger More Apr 24, 12:12 10
    - wang = diggie - loosilu Apr 24, 12:27 3
      - I'm pretty sure it's a "jokester" pretending to be diggie. -- nm - nubby Apr 24, 12:28 2
        
        that would explain the lack of funniness. -- nm - loosilu Apr 24, 12:32

    - odd comment but no - same as when I left CA for WA -- nm - Capstern Apr 24, 12:21 2
      - so you don't really live *on* Seattle? -- nm - zork Apr 24, 12:23 1

  - Damn. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 24, 12:13
  - what's that in American rates? -- nm - pigby Apr 24, 12:12

        what's the rate for 10 years? -- nm - zork Apr 24, 12:16 7
        
        5 and a quarter. - Reagen Apr 24, 12:17 6
        
        i locked 10 years at 6.15 (IIRC) because rates seemed fairly low in a historical sense. - zork Apr 24, 12:20 5
