I just moved out of San Antonio after 22 years. I always joke when telling people there are only two things to do in San Antonio; eat mexican food and go to the movies. Theaters are a bit of a competition in SA, and they have produced some pretty big ones. As far as the touristy thing to do... 1. Witte Museum http://www.wittemuseum.org/ 2. Botanical Gardens http://www.sabot.org/ 3. Japanese Tea Garden http://www.visitsanantonio.com/visitors/play/attraction-details/index.aspx?id=2668 4. Your SR-71 Blackbird (huge plane when up against it.) http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM3CCY_SR_71_Blackbird_Lackland_AFB_San_Antonio_Texas Have a great trip and I do recommend checking out the Alamo if you have never been!

My post was merely on the merit of the author alone. This article was nothing more than conjecture with absolutely nothing but imagination running amok. My stance remains that if he wanted to hit on the subject of police brutality, then using language how he did is, in the simplest form, wrong. Hard for me to take anything more he says seriously. The sad part is I am sure some are out there using what he writes as gospel, and even quoting him as a certainty. This is strictly opinion without even the closest shred of justification. However, to touch on the subject, police brutality is not a joke. Not quite sure how you could come to that inference with what I wrote - but, hey, whatever. I see the same videos you and the rest of the public see showing police brutality, and as always, it is wrong. If they are guilty, then they need to face the charges. In no way did I ever condone police brutality. You are right, it is no joke; and never did I say it was. Let me add to avoid anyone again misunderstanding. I DO NOT believe that police brutality exists only in the imagination of Paul Craig Roberts, but rather is a real concern that will always need to be dealt with. What I do believe is his exaggeration solely on facts that he did imagine to be true. Without any statistical analysis, saying "one might conclude" still has me laughing; even more so on how anyone could take him seriously.

Bahaha. Figures...

Are you serious with this link? Not only is this entire article wholly subjective, but rather more offensive that anyone can even tolerate this dribble without even the slightest smirk. Let me explain: I am a researcher, bio-medical to be exact. I actually do research, and get paid for it. Thus, we are obligated to follow certain rules for making any claims on facts. I understand this author quoted is not in the same realm, but this whole article seems grade school at best. "results may contain duplicates"; "probably only a small percentage of incidents"; "Considering the data, one might conclude..." This has to be the most funniest, inane article I read today, and I surely hope you posted this to be a joke!

Ummm... Okay. That explained a lot. Thank you!

Your rant in direct relation to the post put me at odds. It seems there is a complete ideology conundrum with what you say. It seems to me you have no problem having the same citizens spend money on other people's health care and social services, but when it comes time to require for the same people to spend the money on their own well-being, and everyone becomes "fucking-assholes" as you so eloquently put it. What is the problem with "...honest working people" to honestly take care of themselves?

Last one I did was the last time I jumped in nine months. Ten of us were doing a hop and pop at altitude during sunset. The sun just went below the horizon by the time the green light came on. Unfortunately, my p.c. instead of going backwards after I cleared, it went forward, between my legs, up behind my right shoulder back to front, and finally around my neck. Once I got it off my neck, I threw it back into air stream not realizing how it was routed. My bridle - not me- pulled my cutaway handle, leaving my RSL to fire my reserve. By the time I looked up, my reserve is out and starting inspecting on what the hell just happened; mostly concerned with two parachutes out. My brand new main w/only 20 jumps fell to the ground like a rock in the d-bag fully stowed. Because it was at sunset (right at the verge when the sun was going to bed) and at 14K feet, my mian wasn't found for 6months. It became a nice warm home for a family of field mice who decided to chew their new dwelling out.

I don't post much on here (very, very rare as a matter of fact,) but I sure do read of lot. I have downtime in my job that allows me to play around on the web, and find myself coming to dz only to read. I completely agree with you on your take on politicians, both sides of the aisle, but what escapes my mind is even the slightest acknowledgement of the op's initial point. This thread is not about who was at fault in 2008 or today, but rather that the current POTUS has shown to be hypocritical at times when dealing with any matter anyone can construe him at fault.

From Wikipedia: "On December 4, 2010, Showtime announced that Dexter would be renewed for a sixth season and stated that a seventh season was possible[12][13]. Season 6 is expected to premiere in September 2011." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_C._Hall I am glad to see at least another season! Definitely one of the better shows out there!

+1 I did the same thing.

This is Toggles (and I know how generic the name is) and Diesel. Diesel is a one year old miniature Aussi Shep/German Shepard, and Toggles is a 2 year old Jack Russell/Chihuahua. (He is more Jack than Chihuahua.)

Not hurt. Just having fun in SC.

"You need to think outside your own cultural box" Are you serious? I need to think outside my cultural box? What an asinine thing to say. Your right though. People did take for granted in MY country having Christmas off. I guess I owe you an apology that MY country was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs. However, as things "progress" in MY country, Christianity is falling away from governance. So instead of being free from religion, you would just be happy to replace it? The point being, if you expect freedom of religion from one group, then we should expect it from the other. BTW, this has absolutely nothing to do with my "cultural box," i.e. equal freedoms is equal freedoms. How did you get to the conclusion that I was Christian? Not once did I say I was. You assumed that. And you know what happens when you assume, right Andy?

You don't define them as the same, you only afford them the same. I am not Muslim, so I do not need to conform to the rules of Islam, regardless if they find it offensive or not. I think I mentioned it earlier, but again quickly, our society, thus our holidays (several of them anyways) were based on religious grounds. There has been a rise in person's opting out of the Christian faith, and feel it needs to be pulled away from the state; hence, Winter Break vs. Christmas Break. If Christians suddenly felt that they need to not speak or read for a week, would concessions be made for them? Absolutely not. We would recognize their right to to do so, allow them to practice, and everyone else would continue on with the agendas already laid out in the calender year. Why would we need to even discuss changing an entire curriculum over religious grounds in public schools?
