    Can ISU's coaches please not mix politics and football???

    Only a distraction because it would make people think about fried chicken. Jesus has the best fried chicken. This one time, JFC fed 5000 people with just two chickens and five biscuits. Some say it was a miracle.

    ISU Lawsuit - Sex Discrimination

    I was busy getting tenure (in marketing no less), so lurked for many years so as not to get dragged into stupid arguments with stupid frog people about Obama getting a dog breed that would be unbecoming of the office of the President.

    ISU Lawsuit - Sex Discrimination

    Most business schools have an initial 3 year contract for tenure track faculty. You go up for a third year review at the beginning of your third year. If you aren't making satisfactory progress, you are given a terminal 4th year to find a new job. If you are making satisfactory progress, you...

    ISU Lawsuit - Sex Discrimination

    These two comments are contradictory. Her own department that denied her was also faculty who didn't protect their own.

    Better hope that girl is on the pill, unless you are going for 10 kids in 10 years.

    That internet will be nice, but you don't have anything to use it on, so kind of a waste of 14 points.

    27 NFL Players Arrested in 2013

    Unless we are thinking of different ones, I think it was attempted murder. Victim still alive, for now.

    New Disease

    I wouldn't classify obesity as a lifestyle choice. Overeating is a lifestyle choice, that can cause obesity. That doesn't mean obesity is a disease, but it is a something a little more than just the lifestyle choice.

    New Disease

    They don't "decide" what is a disease or not for anyone other than their organization. They passed a resolution among their membership saying it is a disease. It isn't binding to any organization other than the AMA. A lot of hand-wringing over a word.

    New Disease

    They obviously already are feeling that pressure, likely from their customers, because many (including Medicare) already cover weight loss treatments. And you could easily argue that it is a smart business decision for them, as the conditions that obesity leads to are expensive to treat.

    New Disease

    And you always pick the cheapest option when faced with a health care decision, right? You always pick the generic. You always pick the OTC solution rather than the RX solution. One could say you are dangerously close to not wanting people to have the ability to decide for themselves unless it...

    New Disease

    Ok, so what is the problem with someone that wants to use prescriptions to make the difference? I wouldn't think you would care how they do it. I figured you'd be the type to let someone decide for themselves. And whether obesity is called a disease or not isn't going to change that. The...

    It doesn't cover assisted living for anything else. It covers health care costs, whether they are from an assisted living facility or not.

    So what if it is prescription drugs. What do you have against companies innovating and trying to make money by providing people with things they want? Are you a communist or something?

    Anybody have a Volt?

    As was getting a personalized license plate. We all make what others deem as horrible decisions financially. Mainly because we all don't have the same values. Big deal.
