Re: Gomberg: Hey, wanna see pictures of my kid? And other musings from a ‘sharent’

why does this drivel keep ending up on the front page of the Trib? Don't they have some area on the site for crappy, boring musings?

The Trib, still covering 20 person protests on a consistent basis...

I worked with the athletic training staff for a WNBA team back in the early 2000s. I remember the coach of the team wanted to improve the woman by having them play against a local community college men's team. A number of the female players on the WNBA team were considered to be exceptional talents within the league. The men's team not only beat the WNBA team, they dominated them, beating them by over 30 points. While the women are great within their league and against other women, there really is no comparison to a men's team.

Re: Misty Snow has made history, but Mike Lee holds massive advantage

I thought that Misty Snow's run was going to be an utter train wreck. Also, I am no fan of Lee in the slightest (I am a registered Republican in this state, although I do think that Utah Democrats are more sane and I tend to vote for them). After watching the televised debate, Lee came off as a buffoon, while Snow knew her ideas and hit her points and also came off as much more knowledgeable. I give her credit were creidt is due, and I'd rather have an honest believer in their cause over a hack like Lee.

Re: 5 Most Fuel Efficient Vehicles You've Ever Driven

I, for one, wish we could still get some of these lightweight, cheap cars that could go forever on a gallon of gas. I recognise that every human life is precious, but all these new regulations are pricing me right out of the new car market. It's impossible to find the kind of car I'd like in the used market too. I hope Elio works out and puts those 84 mpg cars on the road. I commute by myself and can't remember the last time my car had a passenger in it. Five seats are a waste and add weight and take away from that fuel economy I'd like to have. I'd look into a Smart, but they cost too much, are unreliable and, most importantly, don't get good fuel economy. Elio, please deliver your cars! I'll take mine in red with a manual please!

Again the commenters on the Trib show their true colors. Her
is a lady who holds a belief, and is willing to take the time and support a
cause counter to it, and thank people for the love they showed her, only to be
met again with anti-Mormon statements and total intolerance from the other
side.

This just continues the trend of dumbing down America's Colleges and Universities. All these kids in school now seem to have nothing better to do, like homework and studying, and ample time fro SJW causes... I cannot wait for them to get to the real work and get their little SJW feel bads hurt

Re: China rolls out military roadmap of 'active defense' strategy - Global Times

Teddyfromcd, I’ve been reading through all your rambling
posts and you think way to highly of the Chinese and Russian military forces.
You fail to mention that most of Russia’s military is made up by poorly trained
conscripts who hardly know how to use any of their advance weapon systems, and
that they are in the military for 2 years or less. With the Chinese, their
people do not even have real rifles to train with day in and day out, and
hardly if ever touch any of the advance weapon systems. Even if your missiles
are as good as you talk them up to be, most everyone in your military services
are not trained how to use them, and probably have never launched on in real
life to even see if they work. At the end of the cold war when US inspectors
visited Russia’s nuclear sites, it was discovered that more that 50% of all
your land based nuclear weapons would have never launched, and more likely
would have blown up in their missile silos due to lack of maintenance and
upkeep. I know that Russia has been improving their missiles as of late, but
they are still decades behind American missile systems. Also, you talk about “hitting
ten targets.” That’s hard to do when American stealth fighters can come and go
as the please through Russian and Chinese airspace and destroy your command and
control systems thus turning all those fancy missiles into million dollar
paperweights.

The American Navy is larger than the Russians and Chinese
combined twice over. Both of those countries rely heavily from imports and
exports to keep their people fed and their economies running. A simple naval
blockade will starve each of those economies into ruin within months. The US
doesn’t need to invade, or even get into air war, they just need to starve your
economy.

Also, the newest fighters that Russia and China have brought
out are just as problem plagued as the F-35, the only 5th generation
fighter flying and fighting right now is the F-22, which nothing Russia or
China has right now can even complete with that in the air.

Needless to say, Russia and China talk a big game, but
everyone knows they cannot back it up.

All deaths that may have an outside influence is considered a homicide. Be it accidental, intentional, or if another person had anything to do with the death in anyway. If I was driving down a dark street and you jaywalked out of the blue and I hit and killed you on accident, its rule a homicide. Taking what the ME said is not the vedict. In fact the ME stated that Mr. Gray died of accidently hitting the door bolt.... That would hurt the prosecutions case...
