  1. http://www.quotecollection.com/author-images/brady-anderson-1.jpgReportedly a recent picture of the Baltimore Oriole that had a monster year and then faded away shows that he has not aged a bit. Probably has another monster that stays around longer. Picture was lost but it was Brady Anderson.
  2. There is fecal material in most processed food. Rodents find there way into food storage places. Eating poop is small amounts is no going to cause your death despite my sister's constant advice to me: "Eat shit and die"
  3. I guess I couched my Crunchy reply in my answer, but I was talking about myself when I spoke of Crunchy Peanut Butter, Banana and whipped cream.
  4. As a physician, I hesitate to say this, but healthy eating is not all it is cracked up to be. You live once, you die once. Every once in a while, you need to live while you are alive and if Extra Crunchy Peanut Butter with Bananas and Whipped Cream fills a happiness void, i say fuck healthy eating and risk the consequences of that self indulgence. Steven, just curious, did my peanut butter post in another thread, Jeremy Walker, trigger this thread or is this just synchronicity?
  5. I understand she did not go out and do the survey herself, but she is reporting the results and these are the statistics she chose to use. So in that sense, these are her statistics and her facts. I am not disputing the veracity of the data she chose to present. I think this data unfairly simplifies a complex issue and presents a multifactorial issue as a single factor one. For me, her report disregards the many other factors that could lead to the racial disparity she presents. An acknowledgement of the complexity of the issue and a passing reference to other factors such as economic status and age would have made for a stronger presenation and, in my mind, it would have made it her discussion more compelling and less inflammatory. Police behavior in Ferguson was egregious. The statistics in her report made me look more at Ms. Maddow's bias and less at the police's. Enough so, that I have spent considerable time discussing the faults of a report with which I would expect to agree. For me, she did a bad job.
  6. Basically her statistics take race, and say: well you have 67% (my numbers may be off as I did not go back to get them exact) of the population which is black and 87% of the police activity involves blacks and for whites the opposite is true. Now if the black and white populations were exact in every other instance these statistics may be true and significant but at the best these numbers may be true and they are possibly significant. IF the white population is 50% elderly people in a nursing home environment and the rest are summertime residents who live in this town for the summer and the black population is made up of young full time residents who are unemployed heroin addicts, THEN the statistics would be surprising in the other direction. One does not expect crime and police interaction with elderly and part time residents are not around as much. Drugs addicts and underemployed people commit crime so if you have a high crime risk population and low crime risk population as dramatic as my ludacris example, then the results cited by Ms Maddow would not be an indictment of the police. As she did not state that her statistics were corrected for age, economic status and other factors which influence crime, her presentation of the statistics is imcomplete and presented in a way that makes their use in her presentation subject to the charges I made. I did not say they were incorrect, but a poor argument used in a way to isolate race, when the issue is not solely a racial issue and those other factors may play an important role in the results she is using.
  7. Exactly my point. No it would not be okay, it just would not be news on a national level with all sorts of nationally covered prostest.
  8. i have no problem having a meaningful discussion about race and racial profiling. I believe the media owes us that, a meaningful conversation with meaningful statistics or at least a multifactoral evaluation. I just was commenting that Ms. Maddow owes us more than poorly analyzed statistics which do not necessarily bring anything but confusion to the table.
  9. If this were just a teenager being shot down, this would be a horror and an abomination. What has made it news is his race. Plain in simple, this is a race issue with a side issue of the teenager possibly being murdered by the police. I note that in your statement, race was not mentioned. i doubt you will find a singel news report in which that is true. Race unfortunately is still a hot button issue in this country. Today, while driving down a four land highway (two in each direction) top down radio on, I made an abrupt stop when the car in front of me did the same. The car in back of me blared his horn and when I looked in the rearview mirror, I saw him approaching quickly and he did not appear to be slowing. In an attempt to avoid being hit, I started to move into the left hand lane, only to wind up cutting off the car as he tried to swoop pass. As I pulled back to the right lane, the woman in the passenger seat screamed at me to "get out of the fucking way you white bastard". I hadn't heard that much venom directed at me in one word in a long time." I have no idea of the race of the person driving, though the passenger was a young black woman. Since I grew up and learned to drive in NYC, I responded, "Drop dead you cunt" and we both drove off. The driver then tried unsuccessfully to cut me off and then managed to speed off. This was in middle class America on a beautiful cool summer day. Racial tensions seethe in this country, often right below the surface and it does not take much to get them spewing.
  10. I watched that Rachel Maddow piece and I found her report to be inflammatory and with the kind of lack insight that I usually reserve to reports from Fox news. If you did the same analysis as she used and based it on age or sex or economic status, it would lead to even wider and persistent discrepency from expected value. Citing race, in this case is easy and incomplete. While I have no doubt that in this town, and more widely in the US, racial profiling by police exists, her data was weak and her analysis superficial.
  11. I would love to be Made in Brazil, by the man in the top picture.
  12. And maturing very nicely I must add.
  13. I must admit I was laughing out loud at this. The way he startles his family members especially waking his son up for the birthday party just struck me as funny. He must be very dedicated to this idea and his family must be very tolerant.
  14. I have a flag pole for most of these guys
  15. Here is a song that should give you a guide I am sure that if you are 50 you will sign along to a very attractive singer whose look is very of the times
  16. As much as I do not like tattoos, you have to admire this guy's commitment and his tight little body. In black in white this looks good and pretty sexy, I am sure in color it would be a hodgepodge of garish shades fighting for attention.
  17. There was a post to asking about an escort Eli Henry. He is 22 years old and has many tattoos. I prefer men without them, but one or two do not usually detract from a particular man's appearance for me. I must admit that once I am aroused, a hot guy could resemble a Jackson Pollack painting and as long as everything else was going well, I would not care. I am wondering if any tattooed men here would remove or change their tattoos if the result was back to a scarless skin. http://rentmen.com/EliHenry
  18. For me the Luzembourger David gets #1 with The Costa Rican#2 and he beefy German Mario rounding out our Forgy.
  19. He remains a mystery as I cannot open the site
  20. While it is disappointing that it is apparently easy to find Americans who know little or nothing of the world around us, I can only hope that these do not represent the average American.
  21. I just got one to say i was #98 but i like it at 70 as well and there are times i open the door to let the dogs out and leave it open until they return. Wasteful i know but otherwise they are out there until i remember to open the door for them or on a rare occasion, until I wake up. Mine are big dogs but they are pathetic looking when I forget them and i see them standing waiting for me to open the slider.
  22. Leo. And I like to roar in bed and out of it as well.
  23. I believe it is his. Would love be be lying in bed, just fucked and watching that ass walk toward the shower.
  24. i have enjoyed this show and now i am really looking forward to this episode. If I were in the woods with him, I would make sure he was naked and unafraid.
  25. I can still squeeze into my 30 inch waist jeans....and then on the other leg....
