The NBA might have the most retarded method of an all-star selection process ever. - Will Hunting Nov 18, 14:27 2
- but that's only to choose the starters... so it's not like it really prevents people from being selected - stewie Nov 18, 14:34

      - [deleted] 1
        
        you don't punish the people who didn't do anything wrong. prof claims he knows they can figure out who cheated, discipline them and only them. - dogbert Nov 18, 14:29

        Why is it society you're disgusted with rather than these two specific people? -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 14:20 10
        
        Because we've allowed for/created an atmosphere where a human life is a bargaining chip for someone's 15 minutes of fame. - Stephen Nov 18, 14:25 9
        
        That "atmosphere" is called freedom of thought and freedom of expression. I kind of like it. -- nm - mara Nov 18, 14:31 5
        
        i think this oversimplifies what he's saying a lot. abortion is an unrestricted elective medical procedure in this country. - TFox Nov 18, 14:40 4

ST is smart. Is there a way to get the smoke smell out of a condo? -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 14:00 16
- What you're smelling is the oily residue of whatever was burning... - OAE Nov 18, 14:47
- cigarette or fire smoke (fire smoke is full of seriously poisonous chems from the burned polyurethane found in almost all furniture, its what kills.. - zeitgeist Nov 18, 14:44
