All that money to play in the MAC on a Tuesday night in front of a couple of hundred people is madness. Akron made the move years ago and they are playing all of those "big name" programs and they invested in a football palace and yet no body, absolutely nobody in their community gives a rats behind for their program if butts in the seats is an indicator.

Of course you dont care about the Dakotas they are not our team, YSU is our team THAT's who we care about THAT's why we go to the games because its our team playing. And it doesnt matter if they are playing Notre Dame or Notre Dame on Lake Erie ( look it up). The problem is we dont have real football fans here, they are sheep dazzled by"big time football" but they really dont love football or their local teams . They are motivated by a need to be part of something bigger and larger (ie the Columbus State buckeyes ) and sadly most never set foot on that campus as a student. Fans , real fans dont need to be sold a "product" the love of a team is either there or it isnt. Todays turnout was pathetic and embarrassing. This team deserves better than this. Ive been following YSU since 1966 and missed about a half dozen home games during that time. There will always be a core of true fans who really do love the game and their team and who will show up win or lose no matter who we are playing.

Just watched the Akron game what a pathetic , inept effort. This team is truely embarassing. YSU play was sloppy and they played like they knew from the tip off that they were an inferior product. Akron is not a great team but they are light years ahead of us in recruitment and player developement.

I thought we were talking about the sanctioty of life period. Besides the only crime the man without insurance committed was........not having insurance. And the republican audience reponse was cheering. No really check out Somalia this sort of attitude would fit in well.

It's not about what the government owes us, rather it is about what WE owe America and what our idea of America is. I want an America that is strong, stable, just and compassionate. Paying back to America the nation that enabled me to have all that I have is my and every Americans ( including corporations) patriotic duty. America just aint gonna continue to happen unless we all get off our cheap and self obsessed behinds and pay back what we owe.
I remember 2 things that were said when I was a kid. JFK said "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" The other thing I heard said in the 60's when I was protesting the Vietnam War " boy, this heres Amerika, Love it or leave it"
You have to stop thinking in terms of what is owed me, cause the answer is NOTHING !
My idea of America is about opportunity and justice for all people, And if someone has a problem with that I say Boy, this is America, LOVE it or leave it. Seriously check out Somalia it may be what your looking for.

The wealthy do indeed use government resources geometrically more than the lower strata.just one example... welfare for the poor 112 billion per year. Welfare for the rich 400 billion per year. Because they have more. there is more to protect. If youy drive a mercedes you will be paying alot more for insurance than the driver of the Yugo. Governemnt stimulus programs have been a gift to the rich throughout american history. we develeoped a trans continental railroad in the 1800's because of gov't stimulus grants and the govt giving 10 sq miles of land for every mile of track layed.
I'm not saying this is all bad but there are always "the other side". There is very little black and white, it is all very very grey. and the more you read the more you learn and the more you ask what's the othewr side, the greyer it gets. Some times conservatism is wise and sometimes its foolish and the same applies to liberalism.

I could'nt agree more. Of course our agreement makes the converse also hypocritical. That is, a bunch of righties who oppose abortion then turn around and cheer the prospect of letting a man without insurance die or cheering a Texas gov. who boasts of presiding over a record number of executions.
Hypocracy is unavoidable when we adhere to extremist political views . My side is always right and ther can be no truth in the views of the other side. The truth is always somewhere in the middle which means we are both right and wrong.

Oh the poor poor rich . I realize how mean and unfair I have been expecting them to shoulder such an unrealistic burdon, Instead lets raise the taxes on the poor. Those families of four who make 26K or less. Have you ever heard of the Stolkholm effect? Identification with the aggressor? I'll suck up to the rich and maybe they will allow a few crumbs to fall from their table for me.
Thomas Paine a "Tea bagger" ? Read some of his stuff after Common Sense. He advocated an extremely progressive rate of taxation and a welfare state. This guy if he lived today would have been hated by the Tea baggers.
Yes I believe health care is a right.
I believe that America is about life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that all men are created equal not letting the privledged few get richer and richer by exploiting the nations resources, environment and workers.
If you make a billion/ year you pay 1.8 mil. at 18% but you use a lot more than that in the infrastructure. So you owe more than a mere 18% . How many times have you used the patent office in the last year or in your lifetime? There is absolutly nothing punitive about the rich paying their fair share . And what is their fair share? Whatever it takes to maintain a quality of life for all people in this country.
The problem with capitalism is that it is based man's lesser instincts...... greed and if Ive got mine who gives a rat's behind about others. The people who are good at playing the capitalism game are not noble humans who should be treated exceptionally nor should they be allowed to hold america hostage threatening to take the jobs away if they dont get their exceptional treatment. America enabled these clowns to get rich, very rich and they owe America alot. Clinton raised the taxes and the deficit went down and employment went up. We just dont learn from the past do we?
There is no free market, it is an uneven playing field.

A progressive tax with the wealthiest paying at a higher rate is as american as apple pie and was endorsed by thomas paine and james madison. In a capitalist society the gov't has two important functions, opportunity (to acquire wealth) and maintanence (to insure you keep it once you get it), This requires a vast infrastructure roads, police, military courts, patent offices etc. The more you have , the more you use these things hence the more you need to pay in taxes. Tax cuts for the rich = welfare for the rich.
In time of war the tax rate does not go up rather many more people are working and working more hours to support the war effort. Why? Not because big business is patriotic rather because of of a huge infusion of gov't
money purchasing materials of war. A great big gov't stimulus program. And it works in war and peace.
Our economy has slowed down, people are not spending, what our economy needs is spending and if people or the private sector are not spending that only leaves the gov't. Cutting gov't spending would be economic suicide. Remember calvin cooledge? We just don't learn do we.
Oh and I have some really bad news for you the gov't has been in the insurance business since the inception of medicare, Why dont you ask all the people on medicare if they want gov't out of the insurance business.
They will say no. Gov't does a much better job than private insurers. Why? administative costs of medicare are 3% average administrative costs of private insurane 36%. we currently spend much more on health care than any other industrialized nation and its pretty poor. Infant mortality in the US is higher than Nicaragua.
We have to analyze our beliefs objectively and not just listen to the echoes of others who agree with us. And yes it is sometimes painful to read the truth especially when it challenges what we would prefer to believe.
