Comment Re:Still not a sport, try as you may.. (Score 1) 351

Well it would be amusing just for once to see a sports game get pre-empted by something else. Just to see how the sports fans like it when it happens to them. Because usually a football game or a basketball game will pre-empt ANYTHING ELSE that's on the air no matter how much more merit it may have. It's like mental crack rock for the shallow. Those who aren't jock-sniffers and aren't obsessed with how well some millionaires can play a game have had to put up with that for a long time now.

Actually it's more of a contractual agreement than what is more meritorious in one person's opinion. Don't get me wrong, I would rather watch a High School or even a pewee league game than a so-called professional team. At least the amateurs shows some heart and determination.

Unfortunately that only accounts for the dead ballots, with obvious errors or other issues. If there are preselected options and the voter either doesn't want to vote for either person and ignores that contest, it should not be a vote period for that particular contest. There should never preselected options. It should always be that just actual cast votes are counted, regardless of how many ballots are there. Nobody ever said I had to make a choice for every contest. Does that nullify my entire ballot, I would hope not.

In this case, the film box. Pictures don't lie.

Yeah right. http://couchtrip.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/shark-helicopter.jpg We've never seen a picture get modified, or a video for that matter. There's bad guys on both sides of the issue. You would also be complaining if they took the cameras out of the cruisers. You would then argue it was a question of their word against yours. Like the old lady from Texas that swore up and down she never cussed the officer or anything. She was just being a polite little granny. Hmm you have a video you say... how long did it take for her to shut up and just sue?

as long as it has a sufficiently high parental control rating to trip my parental control settings I don't care what they put on TV. It's up me, the parent, to control what the brats see or don't see. Preemptive remark: I know nothing is perfect but my kids will start pushing the up or down button until they get a show they want to see. This way at least it will ask for a password with the parental controls.

Sounds very much like EDS. If so i feel her pain, my sister and myself both have the symptoms to varying degrees. Good look and glad it was found and more importantly taken seriously. Although it depends on the type/classification of EDS is used to be thought of as predominately affecting females, it can be transferred to the male offspring as well.
