no offense jersz, cause I luv ya, but comments like this is likely why Vox deleted it
now I'm certainly not laying the blame on you as others get just as heated in there, but I can see why Vox would out the kibosh on those threads when political discourse breaks down to such nastiness instead of exchanging ideas and opinions in a somewhat polite manner.

Didn't I? wrote:Anyone want to help me think of names for Ben & Jerry's flavors?

they've reached the stage where they should concoct an "ice cream flavor" consisting of nothing but all the crap they put into their other ice cream flavors.

And here's the twist - then they leave out any actual ice cream.

but if there must be ice cream, whip up some coke-"flavored" ice cream, call it Toot Sweet.

or something with a vaguely fermented-lawn-clippings aroma mixed with brownies, call it Glace B Toklas

What if they just came out with vanilla

I always thought a butterscotch krimpet based ice cream would be awesome

You trying to get me fired?

I'm a huge fan of putting stuff in ice cream.

Probably. But the discussion in the thread wasn't really that bad, and if he did just delete the thread because I pointed out something that he called factual was bull shit that's pretty weak sauce.

I don't take politics personally. It's something to argue about like whether Mark Sanchez is a good quarterback or if the Heat or Celtics are a better bet to make the NBA finals. I make fun of HillMD for dumb posts about Mark Sanchez. And kopphanatic for suggesting if Walker succeeds in Wisconsin that we'll see children working 14 hour days in unsafe conditions. I don't see a whole lot of difference in arguing about the two topics. Some people take politics a lot more personally than they take sports I guess.

it has a more direct affect on livelihood than sports does, so why is that a surprise?

Not if you gamble.

Speaking of which, I am going to Vegas in July. To a Blackboard conference. Called Blackboard World.

http://www.blackboard.com/BbWorld/2011/Home.aspx

I'm supposed to learn about on-line education. I'm going with a bunch of people who are really into blackboard and other distance education technology. I just want tablet PC.

No, I'm not getting a tablet PC for showing up. Sorry for the misunderstanding. The reason why I'm on my university's advisory committee on on-line education is because I want a tablet PC.

I'll get a lanyard with an ID tag for going to the conference. And I doubt there's going to be anything as cool as a latex $100 bill.
