And yet we all know that the All-Defensive team voters won't see it that way.
I really hate the Windows 7 combined quick launch and open program bar. Maybe I'll grow to like it (I've only been using Windows 7 for a couple...
Who knew that Derek Fisher and Charlie Ward were better players during the 90s than Hakeem Olajuwon?
I agree that paying down the debt doesn't need to be the goal. But I don't see why it would be such a bad idea. Less debt does mean that more...

Since 2009, government spending as a percentage of GDP has been 24.4%. The prior 20 years, the average was 20.2%. That's a 21% jump. That...
This is funny to me because I could swear that you and I once had a discussion where you stated that every single person doing the same work for...
Without the gun, the confrontation most likely would not have occurred and there would be no broken nose, and more importantly, no dead teenager.
