    I agree with Doc, if he is still having issues three years later, maybe he should put his family and health first, over more money that his family will never need.
  2. Mike Sixel
    If he's still having issues that are interfering with his production, he should retire, both for his own health, and the for the good of the team. Frankly, I don't care about the team compared to him as a person.

    Is this a real post? Like, you think Obama had him killed? people die all the time. What a sad state of affairs that some people just assume the worst all the time.
  4. Mike Sixel
    Some day we should all play D&D together. Really.

    His best move is to nominate someone in a few weeks. That way it is in the news cycle in the convention season, if not the election. The more republicans are seen as a party unwilling to govern, and to follow the constitution they pretend to love so much, the better. It is too bad both sides made this political instantly. What a sad country.
  6. Mike Sixel
    that wasn't an option......constitution or intelligence? I think we can agree not dexterity or strength or charisma, right?
  7. Mike Sixel
    but he wasn't last year, when they needed a LOOGY......does not compute.....

    I wonder if I'd be more tolerant of stupidity if I was smarter, or less tolerant......because I find stupidity in co-workers and drivers and others to be the thing that I have the most issue with being calm over......
  9. Mike Sixel
    I think it is....but you said "not feeling sick, even when you are". You didn't say I'd never get sick and my health would be perfect......but I still THINK i'd choose intelligence. * *it might help with capitalization, and spelling, for example....

    the purpose of beer or whatever is to enjoy the product. Anything can kill anyone, but some things have the purpose of killing. Guns' reason for being is to kill. that's why they exist. The arguments for or against an items regulation depend on many things......not just how many people die from using them. It's kind of depressing to have this conversation over and over, like people trying to do anything to rationalize the fact that guns exist to kill a living creature. Any other use is ancillary. Cars exist to get us from place to place, but still bad things happen sometimes, and people die. But you don't outlaw transportation....you regulate it and try to make it safer. I fail to see how people can't see the difference, other than they don't want to.

    The physical choice reaps a lot of personal rewards.....the ability to golf and hike and do yoga w/o pain? Yuge....just Yuge.
  12. Mike Sixel
    Right, Hawking was in my mind while answering......

    You must not follow KLAW on line much, because "you hate my team" is a real thing for him. One of the posts yesterday was hilarious.
  14. Mike Sixel
    I can't disagree with this sentiment more, that content should be free. That was the worst decision ever on the internet. Artists and people like KLAW are not making money like they should be, imo. Grantland died because ESPN and Simmons hated each other.......it wasn't the money.
  15. Mike Sixel
    I remain baffled that Rogers wasn't up as a LOOGY last year.......do they not plan for these things, or are they going to keep him a starter that is 9th in line to start? Rogers, imo, should be the LOOGY, who can also face righties better than most LOOGIES can, but they didn't do that last year, so who knows. Other than that, the options outside the "known" 4 look kind of bleak, unless they just throw the youth out there and let them learn/grow in MN.

    A well regulated militia being necessary....blah, blah, blah. do we still believe a militia is necessary, or is the premise right there wrong? And, if we believe gun carriers should be part of a militia....why aren't they required to be part of one? or is that not actually part of the bill of rights, and I dreamed it? I'm sorry, but over 200 years ago, things were different. The entire premise is not valid any more, not in the US or any other first world country. Also, the weapons are completely different. I guess I would ask why it is ok to ban nuclear weapons or biological weapons, but not guns? btw, I don't want to ban guns, but this idea that they will somehow something you when the government does something they will never do? I think that's pretty funny at this point in our development, both politically, and technologically.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I'm only 51.....but both my parents have had both knees replaced. And, today I am going in to have one drained and hopefully that is all...... But, ya, I'd have to choose intelligence. I can live with the pain, but I could never live with the knowledge that I could have maybe helped the world be a better place.
  18. Mike Sixel
    That is tough. I'm pretty smart right now, and have leg and knee issues, so if I will be able to hike w/o pain, I might choose that. But, to be able to potentially help the world by solving complex issues (maybe)? One seems pretty self centered, and the other more likely to help other people......so, I feel like I should choose the first one, but man, I am tired of the pain......I'll have to think about this one.
  19. Mike Sixel
    100% this. You've never belittled anyone here, ever. Or called them names. Plus the whole you served our country thing is big.
  20. Mike Sixel
    And, ironically, it is someone arguing against winning at all costs, I think......
  21. Mike Sixel
    Please don't, or do, but I enjoy the discussion. Most of my friends are so much more liberal than me, it is nice to discuss with rational people on the other side. We don't agree, but we can maybe help each other get closer to agreeing. or not, up to you. Hopefully I have not offended you.....
  22. Mike Sixel
    I like posts that are good, sometimes (often) even ones I disagree with. That's not an "agree" button.
  23. Mike Sixel
    Another thing I never said.....

    Actually, people die every day from lack of good access to healthcare. The data is on the internet if you want to look You and I and every one with insurance pays a super high price for people w/o HC. They go to the ER instead of a regular doctor. They don't get treatment fast enough, so they get more sick and more expensive before getting help. I really can't see how anyone that has looked at the very detailed data on line, comparing our system to the rest of the world, can determine our system works for the population (as opposed to only the well employed or the elderly, to some extent).
  25. Mike Sixel
    I didn't say that. Where did I say that? I said we under fund the VA because every time Dems try to fund it more, Reps vote it down. If you starve a function, it usually is a self fulfilling prophecy that it is bad..... I did not imply anything else.....
