    Why is it that items that are only available online still get charged tax if there is a store location in state? If you can only get it online, then why do you have to pay taxes for it? Seems unfair.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    The state has to get that tax no matter what; unless it is one of the states without sales taxes.

    They need to rethink that rule. If the only way I can get a product is online, then I shouldn't have to pay local sales taxes on that product. That would only be fair.

    What I don't get is, why do people seem to think poorly of Tim Tebow's football skills? I haven't seen him play much, but watching him in today's game, he's pretty good.

    He is not great in the pocket, and his throwing arm is pretty bad; but he is indeed doing well this game.

    He's young, learning how to play in the pocket will take time, but he's always a threat to run when the pocket collapses. I think people are hating because of the displays of his religiousness.

    Well, he is good at winning games, but the main criticism has been his throwing. It can be quite wobbly for a professional-level QB. I guess as long as the Broncos play good defense and he keeps pulling wins out is ass, things will go well. I don't care too much about all the god stuff. My main beef has always been with his arm.

    He threw 3 touchdowns today But he's still young, and still thinking of running too much. He needs better field vision and to work on his passing. His completion percentage is atrocious.

    I don`t get the hate for the group Nickelback, i mean i`m not the biggest fan or anything, i heard about 3 songs from them and i enjoy them, but i don`t get why they deserve so much internet bashing, it`s as if i woke up someday and hating them was the "IN" thing, wtf is up with that?

    I'm with you. I like some of their songs, they seem like a decent rock band. I think the internet masses just pick someone/something to hate on to direct their energies and give them something to do.

    The reason for hate is well deserved and well documented. Not only do all their songs sound the same in general, some of them actually are mostly the same components with different lyrics.

    Aerosmith's songs sound so much alike they did a parody of it on SNL, but no one hates them as much as they hate Nickelback. Haters gonna hate I guess.

    When was that SNL skit?

    Yes, lots of bands have songs that all sound the same. Same for pop princesses and R&B music. It's been happening for decades. The reason Nickleback got all the hate is because they hit the Top 40 at the wrong time. The accessibility of Internet and later the popularity of Youtube made it easy for the comparisons to be made and spread quickly.

    Nickelback sucking is really a shame. I kind of liked them when they released Silver Side Up and the single "How You Remind Me", but then future singles kind of turned me off. A couple of years later, my brother (who's a fan) had me listen to a bunch of their songs and I was actually blown away by their versatility. They managed to do good pop songs, good ballads, and even good songs with raw savagery. I decided to give them a chance. Then I started hearing a number of songs that were essentially the same as other songs, and that annoyed me to no end. Nickelback is one of those bands that I'll just have to listen to on a song by song case, because I really like some of their songs, but I cannot purchase their albums.

    I loved How You Remind Me when I heard it on the radio back in 2001, so when I got their CD I was so disappointed with the entire thing that I couldn't ever take them seriously again. Especially this part from the very first song on the album:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCgjFsHvoPc#t=2m36s

    "Kickin yer ass would be a pleasure"

    No other song showcases the childish false bravado of their frontman/lyricist. "She's just a woman"?? Really?

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Can you name some for reference? It still can't be as bad as rappers who want to be actors. The only one who has really made a mildly successful move to acting is Ludacris, which is funny because he's a terrible rapper.

    Queen Latifah, Mark Wahlberg, Mos Def, Ice Cube, Ice T don't ring any bells?

    Queen Latifah, you got me there, but the others? Marky Mark was not a legit rapper. Mos Def and Cube aren't legit actors. Plus you could take Mark Wahlberg out of almost all of his movies and those movies would have been better for it.

    Donald Glover from Community fame. He's "Childish Gambino"

    Edit: Common, LL Cool J, Will Smith, RZA...
