Neither did Automobiles, internet forums and Budweiser

Can you state an incident where one of these was obtained legally and caused massive child casualties at one time?

Well got the Budweiser covered.

Maybe you and your buddy Rick should work on fixing some of this first? Way more Damage caused by Bud then Colt! Oh and that's not Colt-45 if you may not know?

College drinking problems

College drinking is extremely widespread:

• About four out of five college students drink alcohol.

• About half of college students who drink, also consume alcohol through binge drinking.

Each year, drinking affects college students, as well as college communities, and families. The consequences of drinking include:

• Death: 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related unintentional injuries.

• Assault: More than 690,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking.

• Sexual Abuse: More than 97,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape.

• Injury: 599,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 receive unintentional injuries while under the influence of alcohol.

• Academic Problems: About 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades overall.

• Health Problems/Suicide Attempts: More than 150,000 students develop an alcohol-related health problem and between 1.2 and 1.5 percent of students indicate that they tried to commit suicide within the past year due to drinking.

Leech, maybe it's college that's the problem and not the brews.

[LMITOUT]

Has anyone checked to see how bad the state of our state is lately?

[leech~~]

Leech, maybe it's college that's the problem and not the brews.

I couldn't afford to go back then. But, I'm sure with the grades I would have gotten I would have either been drinking all the time too or have shot myself anyway!

[Mid-Lake Rock]

Saw that on the Red Star inter webs page.

C-SPAN will broadcast to a national audience the Oct. 1 debate between Gov. Mark Dayton, GOP challenger Jeff Johnson and Independence Party candidate Hannah Nicollet.

The 7 p.m. debate — the first of five — will be held at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester. Jay Furst, managing editor of the Rochester Post-Bulletin, will moderate and the focus will be on state-wide issues.

C-SPAN says they'll carry the debate on many outlets: C-SPAN, C-SPAN Radio and C-SPAN.org.

BTW I see that a year delay was just announced for the pipeline from NoDak to Superior. Minnesota isn't sure they need to spend the money or hire the people.

Quote:

Earlier Tuesday, U.S. affiliate Enbridge Energy Partners said another pipeline known as Sandpiper won't begin shipping crude from North Dakota's Bakken Shale until 2017, about a year later than planned. That delay stems from a longer-than-expected permitting process in Minnesota, it disclosed in an SEC filing.

Enbridge Chief Executive Al Monaco told reporters on a conference call that regulators in Minnesota have decided to split their vetting process into two separate tracks, one focused on the need for the added takeaway capacity and another to debate the routing of the pipeline.

The Sandpiper project is designed to move 225,000 barrels of oil a day from North Dakota to Clearbrook, Minn., and then ship up to 375,000 barrels a day on from Clearbrook to another oil hub in Superior.

Does C-SPAN have closed captioning available for when Dayton mumbles, I mean speaks?

Maybe the person typing the words is as stumped as the viewers.

Now that's funny right there.

[amateurfishing]

Yeah he nailed that debate! Another easy one for incumbent perhaps?

[LMITOUT]

Yeah he nailed that debate!

Out of touch...

[amateurfishing]

I could have predicted that response....LOL

My what dilated pupils you have...

He sounded like he was completely plowed tonight! Oh wow!

Wonder why he wears suits that are about three sizes too big?

Johnson, Dayton Spar over Taxes, Education in Moorhead Debate

By: Tom Hauser

In the second of five debates in the Minnesota governor's race, the three major party candidates had their most in-depth exchange yet on Wednesday night in Moorhead. Not surprisingly, Governor Mark Dayton and his Republican challenger Jeff Johnson disagreed on the need for more tax increases.

Dayton raised the issue at the beginning of the debate when he was asked to name three top priorities if he's re-elected. One he mentioned was an increase in taxes on gasoline. However, he was unclear what kind of tax it would be, calling it a "sales tax on gasoline that will raise close to the $6.5 billion that we're short for transportation funding over the next...10 years."

Later in the debate Johnson attacked that idea. He says he'd prefer to put more money in bonding bills to pay for roads and bridges. "We need to prioritize what everybody relies upon, which are roads and bridges," Johnson said. "I just learned we could repair every single of the 1,200 structurally deficient bridges in this state for what it's costing to build the Southwest Light Rail. We need to set priorities and to suggest we have to raise taxes again is wrong."

Independence Party candidate Hannah Nicollet didn't commit either way on a gas tax increase. But she did seem to agree with Johnson on setting priorities. "If we manage to find the money for the Vikings, the Senate office building, light rail, you know, it's several billion right there. Then we can certainly find the money to fix roads and bridges."

The debate at the Minnesota State University campus in Moorhead covered a wide range of issues beyond gas taxes, ranging from education to the Ebola outbreak to flood control issues in the Fargo-Moorhead area. However, there was no mention of MNsure, one of the most controversial political issues in the state.

The candidates for governor will debate again on Tuesday in Duluth.

Things to note:

Gov. dayton's number one priority ?... raise taxes. (anyone surprised)

No mention of MNSure.

[Kidd]

So Dayton wants to spend as we go and Johnson wants to borrow, kick the can down the road and pay for it later, with interest. Pay me now or pay me more later.

I like Dayton's approach better, don't have it, don't spend it.

[jerkbait]

They may not have it to spend yet, but his plan is to take more to spend. No thanks. We are taxed to much already!!!!!

[amateurfishing]

Yeah,no reason to raise taxes to fix stuff, lets just keep ignoring it (the pawlenty way) like its not our problem and make the other guy look bad when he has the guts to step up and fix it. LoL, bonds or taxes, public still pays. If thats the argument then vikings stadium and light rail should not even b brought up by johnson cause those r being paid with bonds also!

[fishingoverall]

There is one thing that could help pay for roads and bridges that won't cost tax payers a dime. Legalize marijuana in Minnesota. It's a no brainier, look at Colorado's tax revenue from it, plus what is it going to hurt? Hannah Nicollet supports it, the other 2 idiots don't.

"We could repair every single one of the 1,200 structurally deficient bridges in this state for what it's costing to build the Southwest Light Rail." - Soon to be Governor Johnson

"We could just keep (unintelligible) taxing the F outta (unintelligible) the dumbies that (unintelligible) vote for us." - The (unintelligible) gov. dayton

[Slabasaurus]

Hannah Nicollet supports it, the other 2 idiots don't.

her stances on economics though sound like they'd be a good scapegoat for the loyal opposition when Johnson loses "because of a third party wanker"

[upnorth]

Uhm...we can't keep going forward with the thought process of the solution for every problem we have here in MN being raising taxes. You want to talk priorities? Think about the fact this infrastructure that is needing to be replaced was put in when there the % of income paid in taxes was substantially lower than it is today. What happened between then and now? Why can't we pay for what we used be able to pay for with less?

HHS happened. Probably also increases in K-12 spending at state level.

Dayton is marching on with his priority projects and telling the taxpayers if they want more projects they have to pay now, not push the cost off to future tax payers.

So who is paying for the trains? When I went in to get tabs I had a 1)Technology Fee 2) Plate Fee 3)Wheelage Tax 4)State Tax I didn't see any mention of money for a train? And when I rode the train it cost me 2$ to go from Bloomington to the U. It's gonna take a LOT of 2$ fares to cover that 2,000,000,000 cost. Of course your arguement will be that the FEDS paid for half of it. Your right, but WE ARE THE FEDS.

[Uncle Bill]

And the point is differing priorities or what, I don't get it?

Point is the total level of taxation in this state is more than sufficient if it was managed efficiently.

It's not..

Point taken ?

[Kidd]

Point is the total level of taxation in this state is more than sufficient if it was managed efficiently.

Right, so Johnsons idea of selling bonds to pay for road improvements is more efficient than Dayton's pay as you go?
