3 AnswersSoftware6 years agoWhat do you think NASCAR should do about Keselowski's insane wrecking spree at the end of last night's race?
He put many racers in serious jeopardy for no sane reason. I think he should be banned from NASCAR, at least for the rest of the season. If I had my way he would be banned for life. The man went insane.
7 AnswersNASCAR7 years agoI used to play high school soccer 63 years ago so I need an answer?
I'm not totally familiar with international rules, so will some one explain the rule where the referee can add minutes to the game?
3 AnswersEnglish Football (Soccer)7 years agoDid anyone see the story about the nasty priest who stopped a wedding because of a photographer?
Do you know how it all ended? All I've ever seen is the POS threatening to stop the ceremony and the Bride and Groom standing their thinking WTF is he doing.
3 AnswersWeddings8 years agoDid the Republicans make a huge mistake when they named the Affordable Care Act Obamacare?
We know it was done to try to give the bill a bad name, in their view anyway. Now when this law has had time to get fully into effect and has been proven to be a very positive thing, the Obamacare tag will be attached forever. This will give Obama a place in history among the greatest presidents, much to the dismay of the Obama haters, and I love it.
13 AnswersPolitics8 years agoCould or would you vote for anthony, "The whiner", Weiner for Mayor if you were a NYC voter?
This low life waved his junk all over the internet, even after he was disgraced and forced to give up his congressional seat. Now he is using his clueless wife to try to explain away his sick habits and try to get him elected.
11 AnswersElections8 years agoDo you think Paula Dean is crying because she is ashamed of the racial slurs she used or because her empire is?
collapsing around her. I believe the latter, when this first came out and she was interviewed she never shed a tear but now, suddenly she's weeping all over the place.
There is never an excuse, nor has there ever been, for using that word. Paula should take her millions and just go away.
5 AnswersCelebrities8 years agoHas there ever been a major league baseball player as fragile as Evan Longoria?
Evan is a pretty good player but he seems to be made of glass. I can't remember a single season when he didn't go on the injured list. I wonder why Tampa doesn't trade him or just let him go and find someone with the stamina to play a full season.

1 AnswerFashion & Accessories8 years agoHave any of you cons noticed the last decision by the conservative supreme court?
The court just made it legal for the police to take your DNA, even before you are charged with a crime.
Conservatives are supposed to oppose taking away our right to privacy. Don't tell me one liberal voted for it, Nothing gets by the court without conservative support.

My wife has brought home several different kinds and flavors. She likes them but I find them to be bitter and leave a nasty after taste.
6 AnswersEthnic Cuisine8 years agoHow do you think the republicans in congress will vote on aid to Oklahome tornado victims?
They voted as a solid block against hurricane aid to the northeast blue states. Do you think they will do the same to a solid red state like Oklahoma? I'm all for sending all the aid we can give to Oklahoma even though the damage is a tiny fraction of what the northeast suffered.
3 AnswersCurrent Events8 years agoNo joke, why do older men get so gassy?
I'm 78 years old and for many months now I have been very flatulent. I'm not eating any different, no beans, broccoli or cabbage, but I always seem to have gas.
I'm not trying to be funny, I just Wonder what's going on.
5 AnswersMen's Health8 years agoWhy are Lindsey Graham and other republicans so hot to go into another war?
They can't wait for us to go to war with Syria when they should know the rebels are almost all radical muslims. Do they think we need another powerful radical muslim nation in the middle east to give the terrorists even more power against us?
Did these people forget or just not learn anything from our huge mistakes in Afghanistan and Iraq or are they trying to set up president Obama to look as bad as G.W. Bush?
We need to get out of the world police mentality and let that part of the world fight their own wars.
9 AnswersPolitics8 years agoWhy is there so much hatred toward Gwyneth Paltrow?
I have never seen or heard her say or do anything to deserve it. She's a very beautiful woman and a great actor so there could be some jealousy there, but Hate just sounds extreme.
Yet she has been voted the most hated person in Hollywood.
5 AnswersPerforming Arts8 years agoDo you think the owners of the West fertilizer plant will face murder charges?
They had 1320 times the legal amount of ammonium nitrate stored at their facility and no fire control sprinklers or flooding system as required by law. The explosion killed at least 14 people and injured about 200 others. Or will Governor Perry step in and declare them as heroes?
10 AnswersCurrent Events8 years agoWhy did Texas politicians deny aid to hurricane sandy homeless?
Hurricane sandy was an unavoidable natural disaster. But now, after an explosion as a fertilizer distributor that was completely avoidable they are demanding, and will get federal aid. Texas has long considered the EPA as a waste of time and money and did not inspect the facility any more than looking at the building from the outside. Then, in their Texas wisdom, they built homes, apartments, nursing homes and schools within yards of a ticking time bomb.
I feel sorry for the people who were killed and injured and their families who are left to suffer, but the state of Texas should be paying for their own stupidity, not the American taxpayers.
