Please support the Forum by using the Amazon Link this Holiday Season
Amazon has started their Black Friday sales and there are some great deals to be had! As you shop this holiday season, please consider using the forum's Amazon.com link (listed in the menu as "Amazon Link") to add items to your cart and purchase them. The forum gets a small commission from every item sold.
Additionally, the forum gets a "bounty" for various offers at Amazon.com. For instance, if you sign up for a 30 day free trial of Amazon Prime, the forum will earn $3. Same if you buy a Prime membership for someone else as a gift! Trying out or purchasing an Audible membership will earn the forum a few bucks. And creating an Amazon Business account will send a $15 commission our way.
If you have an Amazon Echo, you need a free trial of Amazon Music!! We will earn $3 and it's free to you!
Your personal information is completely private, I only get a list of items that were ordered/shipped via the link, no names or locations or anything. This does not cost you anything extra and it helps offset the operating costs of this forum, which include our hosting fees and the yearly registration and licensing fees.

It's a fascinating place, tho, no? No better place on Earth to understand the phrase ``necessity is the mother of invention". I'm working on a oil/gas piece now; will send you a link. Maybe your uncle might have cause to call me stupid.

I'm sure all those enraged by the PC, anti-free speech culture on college campuses will react with horror to Trump's threats to shut down networks that he regards as hostile because "it's in the public interest".
Folks on campuses are, you know, actually being shut up. I quit posting the stories because it's more or less every day that your boys are striking out against all that disagree. I almost posted about the ACLU speaker -- yes, ACLU speaker -- your boys shouted down at W&M. That'll learn you to take a principle approach to the 1st A and defend nazis!
However, I do give you thumbs up for well-player and hilariously ironic what-about take. Well done.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Heh. Well, thanks.
And, TBH, it seemed like we were teetering on an AA-Hack in-depth analysis of the best cis brothels in Lagos discussion, something had to be done.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
