UteThunder started the topic Which accomplishment would you choose? in the forum Football 7 years, 9 months ago

With the conclusion of The Masters, I wonder, which accomplishment is better or which one would you want to win if you could only have one?
A. Masters Green Jacket
B. Heisman Trophy
C. Super Bowl Ring
D. Olympic Gold Medal
E. Other Sports Championship/Achievement

For me, it comes down to either the Masters Green Jacket or the Heisman…[Read more]

Picked the final score on the button. UNC over Gonzaga, 71-65

UteThunder replied to the topic PAC-12 Championship Game Location in the forum Football 7 years, 9 months ago

For me, it comes down to two options. Either put it in Vegas or put it back on the college campus of the team with the best record. These two options seem to be the most fair to the participants as it will either be a true neutral site in Vegas or the team with the best record is rewarded by having homefield advantage. These options offer the best…[Read more]

UteThunder replied to the topic Lol. In a depressing way. in the forum Politics 7 years, 9 months ago

While I will concede that males are generally more likely to be the ones who commit crimes, I’m not so naive as to believe this fairy tale that homeless women and children are all good, honest people who have simply fallen on hard times but would never break the law. There is a very high percentage of homeless women who commit crimes just like the…[Read more]

They did not.

UteThunder replied to the topic Gherke is brillant! This is what the legislature should do with 0.05 in the forum Politics 7 years, 10 months ago

Oh, and another thing. I don’t view it as the government infringing on businesses by requiring bars to give breathalyzers; I view it as the government requiring customers to prove they are safe to drive which ultimately protects businesses. Is the government infringing upon businesses by requiring them to check customer IDs before serving them…[Read more]

UteThunder replied to the topic Moderate Litmus Test in the forum Politics 7 years, 10 months ago

I don’t want to label people, but I do want people to be honest in how they conduct themselves during political discussions. It is such a farce for someone who is clearly left of center to attack conservative ideals and then claim to be a moderate. These people will never (or almost never) attack liberal ideals, only conservative. Likewise, they…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic Moderate Litmus Test in the forum Politics 7 years, 10 months ago

Based on the replies I received in my earlier thread, might I suggest a Moderate Litmus Test.
What I would propose, is that if you are going to claim to be a moderate, then you need to answer the following questions and let everyone else decide if you truly are a moderate.
1. Which political party do you identify with most? Not necessarily that…[Read more]

UteThunder started the topic Political Annoyances in the forum Politics 7 years, 10 months ago

Just a couple of annoying behaviors I noticed towards the end over at uf.n that have made their way over here.
1. When someone on the left ends a debate by dismissively saying something along the lines of “you obviously have your mind made up on this topic so there is no point in engaging with you.”
This is annoying because the implication here…[Read more]

You’re just being ridiculous now.

Yes, the subject of your OP was the lawsuits, however the entire body of your message was a critique of the law itself. So yeah, I was on topic.

Maybe it is just semantics, but you are clearly not against drinking and driving. You have repeatedly stated your position that it is okay for someone to have a…[Read more]

From your link:

“In general, a person who weighs 180lbs will have a lower blood alcohol concentration than a 140lb person who drank the same amount.”

So the 180 lb person will likely have to drink more than the 140 lb person to get to .05, but once they are there, they will both have a .05 BAC.

PorterRockwell’s comment implies that at .05 a 1…[Read more]

@PorterRockwell I don’t think you understand how BAC levels work.

.05 is .05, the size of the individual doesn’t change the level of inebriation.

Oh, and another thing. Maybe you should stop saying you are against drinking and driving because you clearly are NOT against it. If you really were against it, you wouldn’t say things like “What I’m n…[Read more]

The other day I caught a soundbite from Sitake on the radio.

He was discussing a RB’s pass catching abilities and the contributions he could make in their, wait for it . . . . . . . . . . . “THROW GAME!”

It’s not just the one time cost of the iPhone. They also have to buy a phone for their spouse and each of their kids. And then they have to pay the monthly bill for each of those lines. And of course, when the latest model of smart phone comes out, they have to upgrade to that as well. So rather than have a land line with a bill of $35 per month,…[Read more]
