You're joking, right? Companies can't find enough EDUCATED people to hire for fields like science and engineering, which is why they want the gov't to allow more work visas for foreigners to fill those jobs. There are scholarships and financial aid for the poor to go to college, but they have to do the school work to get to that point. Again, that's on the parents to be role models and make sure the kid takes education seriously.

It's true in most cases. There are plenty of services to help people who are willing to do the work to improve their lives. The first step is taking their education seriously. Once they choose the easy path, they eventually become desperate because it doesn't last. But their desperation is because of their own bad decisions. What desperation lead Michael Brown to steal some cigars? And then attack a police officer?
-
No, people commit crimes because they see the other options, but don't want to do the work required by that option, like staying in school and studying instead of partying and staying out late. That's first on the parents, and then on the person making that decision.

I am disturbed that a petty thief, when stopped by a police officer, chose to start a fight with the officer instead of following the officer's instructions. What's it going to take for some parents, regardless of color, to raise their kids to obey the laws that the vast majority of us do, and not create situations that require police intervention.

They need to keep their energy up for the real protesting when they carry away the flat screen TVs.

If all the people who could vote would vote, there likely wouldn't be another Republican president. It all comes down to turnout.

An investigation by the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee has concluded that the CIA and U.S. military responded appropriately to the attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, dismissing allegations that the Obama administration blocked rescue attempts during the assault or sought to mislead the public afterward. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/house-panel-finds-no-intelligence-failure-in-benghazi-attacks/2014/11/21/0749a070-71dd-11e4-ad12-3734c461eab6_story.html?tid=HP_lede?tid=HP_lede

Obama beat Clinton because his signature issue, opposition to the Iraq invasion, was in sync with Democrat primary voters and the general public. What signature issue would a moderate Republican have that would be in sync with Republican primary voters and the general public?
-
A moderate Republican won't make it past the primaries. The party has become more conservative than even 2012, emboldened by the wins in gerrymandered congressional districts with small minority populations. Ronald Reagan would be too liberal for them.
-
So the Republicans want to go to court because Obama made a change that they agree with, but have butthurt because they didn't make the change, he did. So then they should pass a law making the change instead of once again wasting taxpayer's money.

Game Discussion Thread Rangers at Sabres 11-21-2014 postponed

Patty's still snowed in. I want me some Kaleta! -
I wish they would at least put him in the slot on the power play like the Bruins do with Chara. Huge screen with good hands to get rebounds.
-
Recall that he's only been a forward for a couple years. He was a defenseman that the Kings wanted to try at forward when in the AHL.
-
I'd prefer Makarov stay in Roch and get playing time rather then sit on bench in Buffalo. Get Marty Biron to fill in, he's already on the Pegula payroll at Harborcenter. Yes the rule is different for goalies. The league always wants two goalies dressed in case of injury. They had Irbe sign a pro contract between periods. He could have played.
-
Actually Gordie played a full season on a minor league team as a first year pro, and then played one game in the minors in his last pro year.
-
Sounded like the announcer said, "Buffalo with only one shot in this TURD period".

@kevinoDandC: I'm assuming they want their tank back from the #Sabres. RT @pham1717 The National Guard is being deployed to WNY.

Name all the professional hockey teams Gordie Howe played for.

Do they cancel the Sabres/Sharks tomorrow? Nope.

Sharksnowdo? Sharkzzard? -
Well since the red areas that support gun control have more people than the green who don't, I'm not sure what your point is. Feel free to compare the state of Alaska to New York City and tell us how size matters.

GDT Buffalo at Minnesota, 8PM EST MSG B Radio 930
pastajoe replied to Brawndo's topic in The Aud Club
Paul Hamilton has said that Nolan repeatly shows the players in practice where they should be, but then in games they panic and don't go where they were told to go. Some players are not disciplined enough to stick to the plan. -
That could have been because of bad ice. The Aud wasn't air conditioned, and it got hot in there, thus the 'fog' games.

@BNHarrington: Kaleta on return: "It's hard to put into words. You guys have no idea how much this means to me ... to suit up and play for the #Sabres." @BNHarrington: Kaleta said fiancé woke him up every 3 hours for meds after facial injury. Fred Jackson brought milkshake & provided eye black, shield tints. @BNHarrington: More Kaleta: "I despise losing. I don't like people talking about tanking the season. I hate that. A competitor hates to lose." #Sabres
