When Putin did that editorial in the Wall Street Journal or whatever it was a few months back, I saw facebook comments of people literally saying they wished we had a president like Putin.

It's really great that now since Snowden and all even 'left wing' people have joined in on that train, so it's not just regressive rightwingers who pine for gays being murdered and journalists arrested, but also people who literally read no newspapers or magazines because 'they can't be trusted', but read Russia Today religiously.

My neighbor had a car come through the front of his house and I'm pretty sure it cost less than 20k to fix.

Yes, if you wanna see some generic 'politicians don't get war, man' from the dude who was upset that Obama wasn't as eager as bush was to be in a war (literally that was his complaint) rock on I guess.

You don't get to be all 'oh man no one understands the horror of war' when you're loving pro-war.

Deadspin did an article like this for Florida State and there was rampant use of tutors writing papers for athletes and professors who were intimidated into not failing athletes who would plagarize papers and basically copy/paste entire wikipedia entries.

I'm going to search for Free Republic's response to Sabra being the official dip of the NFL.

Yea all it costs them is possible brain damage, spine damage, neck damage, pretty much every joint damage, and being 'prepared' for a career that only takes a handful of them and even then is only good for what, ten years tops?

Nerds send death threats and sexually harass anyone who makes a game that isn't killing things, you think people are not going to be pissed on wanting to change collage sports.

Actually a bunch of athletes are suing over image rights, and there is a lot more publicity going around about how much the players are getting shafted.

Pretty much, no one's going to change anything because the system as it is makes schools fat stacks, so if a few poor kids gotta get their necks turned to a fine powder while being promised they're totes gonna be in the NFL draft if they just gut it out, so be it.

Actually only the top 10 or so schools make any significant money. The capital requirements to be a D1 school pretty much make it a money sink for all but the most successful schools.

And considering how much France usually doesn't give a poo poo about its politicians' affairs, that's saying a lot.
