10. So the educators didn't do a good enough job of propagandizing students to YOUR point of view - they still care more about their LIVES than things like freedom, due process, etc.? It still smacks of ELITISM to me - YOU know better than the "dumbass majority" who think differently.

I expect lunacy in here from these Libertarian/anarchist/whatever types who wouldn't know the meaning of priority if it bit them in the ass hahahaha, but fortunately, there is a population out there that allows common sense to be the rule - loss of life AND loss of freedom trumps mere loss of freedom - which in point of fact, isn't even happening. Who among us - REALISTICALLY - not letting your paranoia run wild, feels any less free because of the TSA or any other provisions of the Patriot Act? I can honestly say, I have NOT been affected one iota - but then I don't have a secret drug stash or a marijuana crop in the backyard or a thriving criminal enterprise hahahaha.

I don't fly much, so yeah, my freedoms haven't been infringed upon too much. But then again, I'm not loony teabagger who listens to Beck, Rush, and O'reilly - for "knowledge".

We in this country - with the exception of a few reverse ethnocentrists like you, Dakota, CARE about the valuable blood of our own - and in many cases, myself absolutely included, don't give a damn about the blood of trash people killing other trash people in their own trash countries.

Beck you're probably right. His outlook is pretty loony, much like the paranoid bunch in this forum. O'Reilly and Rush, however, are pretty well grounded in their priorities - rights and freedoms being important, but paling to insignifcance in comparison to risking lives.

But the real stupidity of this, I say again, is that nobody is giving up any rights and freedoms anyway - unless they are a druggie or criminal, and FOR SURE, those precious rights and freedoms the paranoia crowd is so worried about would be down the toilet in the aftermath of a major terrorist event. How dense can you guys be not to realize that?

What gets me, with the plethora of PARANOIA being posted in here about stuff that ain't happening anyway or ain't affecting anybody of the good normal people, nobody in here seems to get upset about the LITTLE stuff that really does affect all of us every day. I started a thread about this, and it got practically no response. I'm talking about the stupid damn seat belt and child seat laws, the veritable outbreak of new stoplights, and worse, left turn signals - for what? to give an advantage to the less competent drivers while they delay and annoy all the good normal people. And that annoying extra couple of seconds after a damn red light before it turns green the other way! Also, so so many idiotic local rules and regulations intruding into our lives - REAL instead of theoretical shit like harm from the Patriot Act. Doesn't THAT SHIT which really does affect your life irritate you paranoid guys? And NONE of that stupid shit ever gets voted on; It is just put in effect - ho hum - by God damned bureaucrats - who think they know more than the good normal people who are being inconvenienced. You guys rant and whine and rant and whine about stuff that has absolutely no effect on your daily life, and then seemingly no outrage over this rapidly expanding shitstorm of intrusive small-time stuff.

Otherwise, if you can put it together and pull it off, give me a time and place and I'm there. 😃

Zero2Cool (3m) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (32m) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (48m) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (54m) : *Friday*

dfosterf (57m) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (58m) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (1h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (1h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (1h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (1h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (1h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (1h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (1h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (1h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (1h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

beast (1h) : Well isn't the investing person supposed to invest the money?

dfosterf (2h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (2h) : 39 companies so far that I bet no one has ever heard of.

dfosterf (2h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (2h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (8h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
