Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

*awaiting Banana*

 

Not sure what Jay-Rod was thinking for their corner. Instead of bickering with Lovren, he should have taken responsibility and marked Giaccherini.

Oops wrong thread.

 

It's even worse than that. The plan he proposed used to be their plan...the insurance exchange and subsidies were at one time dreamed up by a right-wing think-tank called the Heritage Foundation, as their alternative to socialized medicine. A Republican (that being Mitt Romney) introduced it in Massachusetts, and it worked fairly well, so it was put forward by the Democrats as a compromise because they'd never accept single-payer.

So, now the plan that they touted for fifteen years is, in their eyes, communist, unconstitutional and grounds for impeachment.

 

It's like how Lincoln was a Republican and set the slaves free, despite modern day Republican policies are anti-foreigners/ethnic minorities. There's a law in Arizona which states that any "foreign-looking" person can be asked for their documents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_SB_1070

The Conservatives, our right-wing party, have modernised their policies and are now in favour of abortion, homosexuals and anti-corporal and capital punishment. The Republicans haven't because they believe the US constitution should be interpreted in what the Founding Fathers intended, as well as having strict interpretations of the Bible.

 

I'm not even sure that it's about the Founding Fathers at this point. The Bible, definitely, but the biggest issue is that they've set the bar for "best representative" at "most conservative", which means that it's a continual race between them to outdo one another...and to demonize the Democrats, which ensures that they cannot work with them in the future, because they've already declared them to be Marxist Fascists who are trying to destroy America. Fail to be sufficiently conservative (which can mean something like trying to work with the Democrats to find a compromise on a single issue, as Lamar Alexander is discovering) and a Rep or Senator is liable to lose their party primary to someone who wears their underpants on their head and declares that Obama is one of the lizard people. And as that leaves them with a party base too small to win national elections, they then have to try their damnedest to disenfranchise as many people as possible.

The Westminster system is a stupid way to run a democracy. But ye gads is it better than what the American system has morphed into.

 

That's certainly out there, but I do have a strange attraction to tattooed girls. I would definitely hit it.

 

Well this is going to be pointless. I had to get up at six to get ready to set off for work again.

I'm covering an event, as the local rail company has laid on free trains to take a Dagenham residents' association to the seaside at Southend today. Unfortunately the seafront is flooded, all the arcades and amusements are closed, and it's still tipping it down.

 

This may be a stupid question, but how do you create an Instagram account?

 

Get the app. You can use instagram.com after you've made an account on the app.

 

I see..... Thank you.

Can multiple people use the same account if they have the app? (and the log in details of course)

 

I guess so, no reason why not.

 

Okay, I just wasn't sure if an account kinda locked itself to one particular phone number, which would be inconvenient. Cheers.

Edit: I've decided I don't like Instagram.

Another question, how do you link an Instagram account with a Facebook page (i.e. not your own personal page)? It must be possible as the Ellie Goulding page posts updates regularly via Instagram.

 

Any one heard any more on that killing in Woolston?

 

Not anyone who is speculating in the comments on the Daily Echo article, I am guessing.
Someone appears to be in custody.

 

That's about as subtle as Joze Altidore's first touch.

 

Purely a personal opinion, but can't imagine why a lovely woman would do that to herself. It's not like you can change your mind.

 

Steve de Ridder just scored his first goal for FC Utrecht, 1-0 against AZ Alkmaar. Thought you guys would like to know this.
