Apparently talking about welfare recipients is a political debate.. even though the #'s are given to us by the gov't.

Could this be because of other factors such as education level or population levels?

Ok last comment on race for me. I believe racism exists amongst every group of people. I am jewish and have family members who are racist. How is this possible? We have been the most persecuted people for the longest time.

I believe blacks have been held back in society because through their entire journey, people have always been impeding progress. It wasn't like "ok Slavery is over, now go have the same opportunities we have!" Thats why people like Jesse Jackson (Who I hate a lot of the time) are necessary. They may have radical views, but its because they need to.

I also believe African-Americans need to do a better job as a culture of committing to being better full-time parents and encouraging education.

This is what people never seem to understand. Rarely is something ever ONE PERSON's FAULT. The blame can usually be placed with mulitple people.

Now Please, lets discuss my crazy Pietrangelo offer sheet scenario!

I was on the whole "Fire Lavvy" bandwagon fairly early on because I thought the system was a problem.

That said, did Bryz manage to see any of the pucks on those breakaways which he managed to never stop? Breakaways happen in hockey. It's not unreasonable for a goaltender to be expected to stop one every once in a while.

And I think you're giving a goalie coach more power than they really have.

They do happen. But breakaways and two on ones shouldn't happen as frequently as they did against the Flyers this past Season.

Fact. Gun related crimes decrease when the civilian population has the right to carry. Wonder why.
- youarewrong


So there are less gun-related crimes in the USA than in England? That's odd, I thought there were only like 12 gun-related crimes in that whole country last year.

I don't agree with his Agents tactics here. He's obviously trying to stand up for his client. I don't see what that will do for him. There's better things to be said. But with the exception of shots blocked, he does have a point about the Flyers defense. But that doesn't excuse that Bryzgalov just didn't play well enough consistently. He has to accept responsibility for that.
- MJL

I don't understand it either, trying to see it from their perspective. I get standing up for his client, but this comes across as combative and/or whiny. I don't think it'll endear him to many GMs.

Several NRA members I've talked to. Their solution to curbing gun violence is to issue a gun to every citizen.

I totally wanted to talk hockey today.. I come in here and I can't tell if I'm on Fox News or 4chan. Either one is totally unacceptable.

We need to issue guns to everyone, even though who feel nervous about owning one and have moral objections to taking a life.
- jmatchett383

pfffft! some of us are gun owners and don't even know it. I found a hand gun going through my Pop's stuff after he passed away. Have no idea what to do with it.
