Pipeline explosion in Shelby, Alabama kills one and injures several others.
http://www.al.com/news/birmingham/ind ... as_line_explosion_se.html I wonder how many of these pipelines that explode every year were the safest pipelines ever built. I wonder how long it will be until Jersey City is on fire.

How is anything I said revisionist? Gore lost Florida not because of Nader, but because he failed to convince enough people to vote for him. Putting the blame on Nader is ridiculous, and a sign that our democracy sucks. As for voting for Clinton because Trump is worse, they're both shit candidates. I would much rather have Clinton than Trump, but a vote for either one is a waste of your vote. NJ is a complete lock for the Democratic party. Voting for either Republicans or Democrats in any safe state is a total waste of a vote. Better to use it on any third party candidate in the hopes of getting them better public financing, so we can break the stranglehold that the two corrupt political parties have on this nation.

Are there any energy supply companies that aren't scams?

My PSE&G bills are way too high and theoretically, since multiple companies can compete for your business on the supply side, there should be some better deals out there. However, it seems like every company I come across is either a scam. Either they try to lock you into contracts, or they're pyramid schemes, or they give you good rates for two months before jacking them up, or whatever.
So does anyone have good experiences with a third party suppliers that have good prices and aren't scams? Ideally something without a contract, as I'd like to back out if the costs don't drop.

The problem is that you think Gore was somehow entitled to Nader's votes, and that it's their fault for not voting for Gore. If Gore and the DNC couldn't convince people to vote for them over Bush then that's their own damn fault and nobody else's. Instead of owning up to their mistakes, the DNC went into 2008 thinking "That jerk Nader isn't around to ruin it for us this time. It's in the bag!" and completely blew it again. This is the DNC: The DNC and Hillary supporters are doing the same thing this year. Blaming Sanders supporters for a lack of enthusiasm for Clinton, and pre-emptively blaming anything and everything on Sanders supporters. If Trump weren't such a psycopath, or if the RNC had picked a different nominee, Clinton would be losing and it would be nonstop whining and moaning from people like you about Sanders supporters. You need to stop blaming other people for your own shortcomings. Or rather, the DNC should learn to do so.

Nader didn't get Bush elected. Stop being a petulant baby. Bush was elected because of a lot of things, but it wasn't Nader. Don't forget that in 2004 Bush defeated Kerry handily and Nader wasn't around at all. I can't believe that 16 years later people are still whining about Nader. If Gore and the DNC couldn't convince people to vote for them over Bush, then that's entirely the failings of the DNC and Gore themselves. If we can't truthfully tell people that they should vote the way they believe is best, and vote for who they truly want to be President, then we don't have a properly functioning democracy (which we don't). Don't try to guilt people into voting for your shitty candidate because the other candidate is even shittier. Work to change the system by encouraging the people around you and your representatives to support the National Popular Vote Compact, ranked voting systems, and bans on lobbyists and other legal bribes in politics. I didn't vote for Ralph Nader, but he's a true patriot that has dedicated his life to improving the lives of the American people, and the way a bunch of whiny childish Democrats still treat him almost two decades later is downright embarrassing and shameful. On a personal note, I'd like to support Stein if only to help the Green party get funding in the next election, but I personally wouldn't want her as president. She's a bit of an anti-science nut, and her running mate Baraka is a lunatic. But they'd still be better options than the corrupt, warmongering options of Clinton or Trump.

It's pretty funny that jerseymom has completely abandoned this thread once she realized that the bombers were in fact Muslim, and that tumblr manifesto was just some jackass trying to stir up shit. It's obviously a good idea to wait for evidence before making accusations, but it's also dumb to try and yell about it not being Muslims before you have the facts either. At first, due to the amateurish nature I figured it could just be just some punks or a nutjob like the Atlanta Olympics bomber. But I'd be dishonest if I said I didn't immediately assume it was a Muslim as well, because surprise surprise, that's how it usually turns out.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. This legislation affects exactly zero people or animals. We don't have circuses or other wild & exotic animal displays in Jersey City as it is. I don't think anyone is going to bemoan the revenue they won't earn in Jersey City, which they weren't earning to begin with.

Or White Star Bar, or Hamilton Pork, or Cafe Prato, or Tommy Two Scoops, or Dames, or 9th & Coles, and on and on. And that's just Downtown. This doomsday scenario of loud HVAC noises, kitchen exhaust, plummeting property values, and drunks is just rubbish. The worst that will happen is occasionally you'll have a loud drunk person making noise.

That's nice. I think more outreach programs, especially things like barbecues or other events open to the public would be helpful for the Islamic community, not only to be more accepted by their neighbors, but also to integrate young men who may be at risk of radicalization. Reminds me of going to a seder that a Jewish student group was hosting, and over half of the attendees were Muslims that were genuinely interested in learning. It was very nice.

Or it just means that it's easier to find the gates to hell, because it's easy to fall into temptation and sin, but hard to lead a life of virtue and find the gates to heaven. It doesn't mean that lots more people are going to heaven than are going to hell. It just sounds like you hope more people are going to hell than heaven, because you're a spiteful old bat that can't see the goodness in people's hearts and realize that the love of God is in every person.

Retaliation for losing the lawsuit about keeping the FOL lease through 2020 and on. The city was probably hoping that without the grant money, the place would continue to fall into disrepair and they could take it over through eminent domain or something and then sell it to Live Nation or someone.
It's amazing how quickly Fulop (who I campaigned for and believed in) has become a corrupt stooge.

I don't think redefining "trolling" has anything to do with liberals, it just has to do with people using it in the completely wrong way. Just like how a lot of people refer to any picture of a person as a "selfie" now. Or how the definition of "meme" has completely changed to just be "picture of something with words on it."
You and Monroe need to stop blaming anything and everything on the liberal boogieman. Back to the topic though, I'm dumbfounded that Clinton decided to make Wasserman Schulz her "honorary campaign chair." It's like Clinton is living in a castle, completely unaware of how this reinforces everything. What an utterly stupid PR move. This entire election is a travesty. I hope people vote for Libertarian or Green party en masse this year.

whaaat. God I bet the original artist is really annoyed by all of the changes the city has thrust upon his piece. The only one that I can kind of understand is Katyn Statue. If you're going to put it on there you should at least know the name. But putting condo names on there? What a joke. I really liked the original design and thought it was a lot of fun. At this point I just want the entire thing painted over. I don't know why the city bothered getting an artist to put his work down if they were going to change half the board anyway. Might as well have just solicited sponsorships and made the board one big corporate advertisement instead.
