I'm for an America where unions represent us Americans and act progressively to ensure their worker provide 40 hour work weeks for the company they are contracted with, because a good union would identify you as the lazy ass who won't leave his computer when everyone else is working and kick you ou...

DrDetroit

It really doesn't matter if we're interested in it or not. They've got us bent over a barrel. If we want to slap tariffs on their goods as a penalty for having poor working conditions and low wages, a country like China will block American telelcom companies, automakers, etc, from expanding there. ...

Income threshholds for percentile size -- 2003 Top 80% - $10,792 Top 60% - $22,060 Top 40% - $37,243 Top 20% - $66,103 $50K is solidly middle class, asshat. To listen to you pieces of shit, middle class is $100,000. Fuck off. Your class warfare rhetoric and demeaning and arrogant attitudes just ain'...

DrDetroit

Yes, $50k ismiddle fucking class, idiot.

DrDetroit

Remind us again why the US is obligated to address global labor abuses?? We are not, not morally, not legally, not economically. And the reason the US has such extensive labor protections is because we are a wealthy nation. Impose that shit on developing economies and they'd be finished. So fuckoff ...

DrDetroit

I disagree, Felix. Charles Rogers is a bust. Roy Williams is already the prima donna, refusing to play when only slightly injured (did it, again this past weekend). Mike Williams hasn't shown his speed and his hands are more like rocks than pillows. Nonetheless, the primary problem is the O-line. If...

DrDetroit

B, can you be anymore dishonest?? The Democrats have nenver put forth the argument that the war is being fought by the poor and the middle class for the benefit of the rich. Dude, if you're simply going to lie, why bother posting? The argument that the Democrats have put forth is that fighting the w...

DrDetroit

First of all, they are assuming that every recruit comes straight out of high school and still lives with his or her parents. Second, it assumes that average income in the recruits' households is the same as the average income in the entire area (based on ZIP code). You can't prove that recruits do...

DrDetroit

it is that simple, but people like BSmack would have you believe that the government has an obligation to support the decision to have children and other lifestyle choices, hence their living wage/working poor scam. According to a 2003 Census report -- 91 percent of those in the lowest 10 percent of...

DrDetroit

A liar? Exactly what am I lying about, B? No surprise you'd go there seeing that I just capped your ass for being intellectually dishonest. $40K for a family of four is not poor. In that instance, if they are living check to check that's more a lifestyle decision than anything else. So fuck off with...

DrDetroit

^^^^Funny post.

Nonetheless, I don't need some fucking football elitist discouraging me from asking questions no matter how inane they may seem.

It's no wonder your fucking precious forum draws no new blood.

DrDetroit

Talk about being an intellectually dishonest piece of shit. 1) No one put forth the argument that the rich are rushing off or that the rich are overrepresented. This was a response to the Democrats argument that the poor are overrepresented. 2) $40,000 a year is not poor. $35,000 ain't poor. $25,000...

DrDetroit

Missed it, thanks. And Mooch ain't running some new hybrid version of it and he ain't mixing it up...he's been running a straight up WCO since he got here...time for the Lions to abandon that bullshit and get back to rushing the fucking football. Can you believe that Kevin Jones averages just over 2...

DrDetroit

I chose 60k because that is what it takes for a family of 4 to live something even remotely approaching a middle class lifestyle. And trust me, that's not going to get you many luxuries these days. But you could afford a mortgage on a small house (at least out here in WNY) and perhaps a car payment...

DrDetroit

Help a retard out, eh???

What did the Raiders do? Did they win a SB? Did they win a Conference Championship? How many playoff games did they win?

Seriously, how many of these teams are using pure WCO's?

DrDetroit

This is why typical dropout counting methods fail...from the earlier Greene link: Using a method that involves trying to track individual students the Dallas Independent School District in Texas reports an annual dropout rate of 1.3%.22 This number is implausibly low. Consider that according to my c...

DrDetroit

Well, according to Heritage ( http://www.heritage.org/Research/Nation ... a05-08.cfm )

Under 30,000 = 14.6%
Over $50,000 = 22%

Now...wtf is your point, dumbshit?

DrDetroit

I just did, idiot...J. Greene's study. Your stats are deliberately skewed. Anybody who thinks a 30k a year FAMILY income is anything but poor is on fucking crack. Around these parts, you better have twice that if you want to do anything but scrape from check to check. Sorry, but no longer do we cons...

Fuck you, HH and fucking eat a bullet. This was a good faith fucking thread. No wonder threads here quickly degenerate into petty name calling, sheesh. I'm not the type of fan that sits there and focuses in on the coach's philosophy nor do I fucking care. For me, the phrase WCO recently became a buz...

DrDetroit

No spinning here...simply presenting data. I notice that the data you have linked to simply tracks kids after they've enrolled in high school. Of course that makes the situation better because it doesn't count students that never make it to high school. I don't know if 20% is accurate or otherwise, ...

DrDetroit

Drummer, I know where Millen came from and why Mooch is here in Detroit. But keep projecting all you want. It's been how many years here in Detroit since it adopted the WCO style and what have the results been? It's a failure here in Detroit. Now, of the last several SB champions...how many have use...

DrDetroit

By saying that the Lions suck and that it is because of Mooch's bullshit WCO...yeah, that's kicking my ass, :roll: .

But, hey, it's not at all surprising to see the circle jerk clique show up to pile on.

Keep torquing each other off, faggots.

DrDetroit

If I was PSU fan I wouldn't relish a bowl game against FSU, Miami, or Va Tech. PSU would get tore up.

Why would you want to see a game against a shit OU squad?

Bama would be a good game to see, though. Notre Dame, too.

DrDetroit

Drummer, my point was that I just wasn't aware of the 80s Niner teams being a WCO team. Look, until yesterday, I thought that the WCO was a relatively recent thing.

So I don't think it is a matter of kicking my own ass...I simply didn't know much about it.

DrDetroit

But you don't know that, dolt. You don't know that it was "ignored." Besides, lets be reasonable here...short of not going to war, you would have characterized it as "ignoring" that intelligence. So lets not posture so much, eh? I have no doubt that the intelligence community, as...

Just a quick search yielded this ... http://www.manhattan-institute.org/assets/images/cr_baeo_fig3.jpg 1998 graduation rate was 71%... The formula that Greene uses appears reasonable and straightforward and takes into account all those students who never enroll in high school and therefore, are not ...

DrDetroit

It's kinda funny seeing B and Bushice quibbling on the margins and ignoring the larger point. But who is surprised? Their central argument just got blasted to pieces. Face it, the democrats argument that the lower class and uneducated are fighting this war in disproportionate numbers simply rings ho...

DrDetroit

Nice dodge, BSmack. You're carryingon the fine tradition of your party, both in issuing vacuous proclamations of the military and then ducking when confronted with contrary evidence. About 98 percent of all enlistees from 1999 to 2003 had a high school diploma, compared with 75 percent of nonrecruit...

DrDetroit

From the Washtington Times -- Middle-class youths, not the poor, are providing the bulk of wartime recruits to the armed forces, according to a new study by a conservative think tank. The Heritage Foundation research paper found that a higher percentage of middle-class and upper-middle-class famili...

Now you done it, Mvscal...you've made his head explode.

Yes there is a worse coached team in the NFL - the Detroit Lions. That's a fucking no-brainer.

This game is sick in HD. Full 5.1 digital audio....first time I've watched MNF in HD...

Sick.

Oh....go Pats...

DrDetroit

No, I just never thought of those Niner's teams as WCO teams.

But take your cheap shots, Mikey...that's really all you have.

DrDetroit

VaTech simply could not run or pass the ball against that team. You know, one of the best games all season for me was watching FSU/Miami early on. Talk about two teams with scary fast defenses. The second half of that game was just a defensive showcase. As soon as that ball was snapped, both teams w...

DrDetroit

I disagree, Van, OSU has a very good defense and has for a couple of seasons now, good enough to put the clamps on Texas. And even given that the Big XII is down this season, it hasn't stopped Texas from hanging 45 or more points routinely. I'm not saying Texas is going to beat USC, however, Texas h...
