    Boycott the NFL

    Bottles and cans of beer are inanimate objects, incapable it doing anything on their own. That is a fact. It cannot be questioned. All beers, which are beverages, are designed to do one thing and one thing only, have their contents be poured down the throat and into the stomach of a human...

    Boycott the NFL

    No, it doesn't have anything to do with violence. Neither does gambling or contraceptives or energy drinks or gentleman's clubs or escort service or fireworks, but they don't allow those advertising, either. So is Amber down at the Dix on Chix All-Nude Nudie Nude Nudes Bar and All You Can Eat...

    Boycott the NFL

    First off, my typing 200 instead of 300 is a typo. Second, why am I not surprised that you focused on the typo and the entirely missed humor of the absurdity of an official firearm of the NFL? No, the NFL isn't playing to the hysteria at all, it is ignoring it and refusing to take part in it.

    Boycott the NFL

    Why is it foolish to not want to associate your product with a Newtown or mall shooting? "Football promotes violence, mass shootings are violent, therefore we need to outlaw football." Foolish. So you think firearms and ammunition makers should be sponsors of the NFL? You think the NFL is...

    Presidential term limits

    Oh, they envisioned it alright. And not in a good way. Members of the Continental Congress highly influenced, or even authored term limits in their own state constitutions. Many of those constitutions contain verbatim wording from the proposals for the Articles of Confederation (which did, in...

    Boycott the NFL

    That's great, but it's a totally different point and as a response to my point completely changes the subject. It's also a very safe point to make considering the top ten list of the most dangerous sports are listed above.

    Trying to find an oil leak can be a real PITA, but one of the best methods it to first wash down the engine really well. Paint thinner works very well for that, since it won't cause any electrical problems. If you can connect a bottle full of paint thinner to an air hose for higher pressure...

    Boycott the NFL

    What you said was, and what I take issue with is, precisely what I quoted above. I'll quote it again for you. "I DOUBT that many, if any, kids involved in the shooting sports have had brain injuries. Guns don't cause brain injuries, defensive backs do!" I don't doubt that you doubt it, but...

    Presidential term limits

    The negative of presidential term limits is you literally have someone (in this case, the law) telling you who you can and cannot vote for. It is literally a restraint on democracy itself. The positive of presidential term limits is that it prevents someone from being elected over and over again...

    Boycott the NFL

    Last month near where I live a 12-year old kid fell out of a deer stand and suffered a severe concussion. Three years ago a friend of mine's 9 year old nephew what shot in the head by his 11-year old cousin while they and the 9-year old's father were out squirrel hunting. This happened where...

    Boycott the NFL

    The reason you've having trouble is twofold: one you buy into the myth that beer, wine and liquor are the same; and two, you are trying (still) to create a false premise in order to level a charge of hypocrisy. Despite what you may have been told or believe, beer and hard liquor are not the...

    Boycott the NFL

    Tom and Jerry cartoon are extremely violent. Violence is violence. In this case, the eye of the beholder regarding the NFL's Advertising Policy is, uhm, you know, the NFL. The fact that injuries happen to high school kids playing football, or to the pros playing football, does not in and of...

    Boycott the NFL

    Wow. I learned today that travel and freedom of movement is now a privilege and is no longer protected by the US Constitution, Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1... or the Fourth Amendment. EO is a veritable font of information. :)

    Looking to get into a Sprinter

    First, everything you know about truck maintenance should be thrown out the window when it comes to a Sprinter. Relearn it from scratch, because everything you think you know is probably exactly wrong. The same holds true for everything you think you know about trucking when it comes to...

    Boycott the NFL

    You're creating a false premise in order to create a false charge of hypocrisy. The only ads they specifically reject for violence are those for video games, movies or other media which contain excessively violent material. They don't reject any and all ads which contain violence. And they don't...

    Boycott the NFL

    I'm trying to be polite here. I guess I'll just come out and say it, and I'll do it by asking you a couple of rhetorical questions. Just who do you think the NFL is marketing their product to? Who do you think they are ignoring that if they change their marketing strategy would increase...

    Boycott the NFL

    Yeah, but the advertisement isn't targeted at participants of shooting sports. The number of people who participate in shooting sports versus football is wholly irrelevant, especially to a commercial airing on Super Bowl Sunday. In sheer numbers, more people participate in condom use and sports...
