  1. I think wealth comes from individuals pursuing their own self interests. Which paradoxically benefits society. Adam Smith was right 99.9% of the time.
  2. @Grunt @Traveler I’m a 90’s kid so I only remember Donahue as a trashy talk show host. This interview was in the 70’s and it’s fantastic. Hope you guys like it too!
  3. It’s not a matter of intelligence, it’s cognitive dissonance or plain old disagreement. They view Friedman the same way I view Krugman.
  4. Continuing the joke thread, when you cross into Alabama set your clock back. To 1961. 😉
  5. We’ve been awful for years now. I hate it because @JohnsonJones and his bulldogs have absolutely annihilated us lately. Having said that, my favorite sport is college baseball and in that world, Gators have bulldogs for breakfast.
  6. I wish you, and your family the best my friend.
  7. Well, I’m the house “liberal” and my heart breaks for your story, but I’m not surprised. I’ve said it here recently several times because it’s absolutely right. It a ward starts to exclude others, it’ll eventually exclude those who agree totally with it’s teachings. The revolution came for Robespierre too. Again, your story breaks my heart. From the exclusion to the ridiculous restraining order, it’s just so sad.
  8. @The Folk Prophet-who I don’t know offline either (and both of us are much happier due to that) is no left winger.
  9. By “chuckle” I think you mean “side splitting laughter.” Want an ACLU card? I can send you a pamphlet.
  10. The “restraining order” thing bothers me because it’s SO nasty and frankly, sort of ridiculous. Unless @old was threatening violence or something it’s totally uncalled for.
  11. More of an observation.
  12. The Catholics say the same thing about their numerous sex scandals.
  13. Can you explain it nice and simple so someone of my meager intellectual capabilities can grasp it?
  14. Just to be clear, you are saying that members should suck it up and deal if the church swings to being pro gay marriage or embraces other “progressive” ideals. Am I understanding that?
  15. He’s one of the few. 😉
  16. It’s good to keep some perspective here. Absolutely no one outside of the 20+ regular posters cares what the jury of third hour says about them.
  17. We’re two SEC boys bro. We hold NFL teams in low regard!
  18. Well done, honorable esquire.
  19. To be fair, @JohnsonJones is a southerner. When we say “college sports is our religion” we are not kidding. My pic here for almost a decade was the University of Florida Gator, after all! It goes beyond sports. The school with the best drama program? Yup, we think it’s the Gators too. I think the issue here is a lack of communication.
  20. Call it my “Mockingbird” sense of humanity but people LOVE being part of mobs.
  21. Would this one work? https://www.ratemyprofessors.com
  22. Dude I am so sorry this is happening to you. I have no advice, just know I’m praying for you and your family.
