Can The Nba Do This To Players To Try To Make The League More Fair?


for fans who care about a fair league like NFL
read completely b4 answering and correct me if im wrong on anything ( and remember it has nothing to do with how big the market is)
so im sure that david stern doesnt tell the officials to rig certain games. i think whenever a game is rigged like it was with the 2003 lakers-kings series, the refs themselves have a secret agreement to rig it and it has nothing to do with stern or the rest of the nba. its just that the refs in that series probably had some big money on the lakers winning, so thats why the refs rigged it and the refs got in trouble after the series(so it wasnt the nba’s plan just the refs’).
so with that being said, the nba does not rig it so the same 5 teams are always going to make the finals. so get that out of your head.
the reason its always the same 4 or 5 teams is because the big stars all go on one team and get guaranteed contracts there. its just that the nba never did anything about it and they let it happen. (and keep in mind they cant just change the league from soft cap to hard cap that would ruin everything).
for example, boston, lakers, chicago, heat, thunder, and now even the clippers are the places all the stars are going. an example- look at how dwight went to la to play with kobe for a ring. nash saw this, went to go play with those 2. so basically the nba let these 3 guys be together and it initially looked like it was going to be unfair to the rest of the west, but the nba didnt do anything.
those teams i mentioned above are the teams that are going to be in the finals for the next five years or so. obviously the lakers wont make it with current roster but kobe will attract these star players because kobe is a winner then when all these players get together on one team, it becomes unfair. thats why its a star league.
so ive concluded the league should have some kind of rule where u HAVE to stay where you’re drafted when your a UR free agent UNLESS you take less $ money on

Christians: Do You Have Dilemmas Like This?


I used to be a big fan of bands such as Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Cartel, Metallica, New Found Glory, Three Days Grace, Queen, Aerosmith, Foreigner, AC/DC, Linkin Park, etc, but then I felt bad and switched to a “Christian and clean secular music only” diet, so as not to affiliate my music with sex, drugs, cussing, etc. However, one thing I’ve noticed is that so much Christian music itself promotes theological doctrine that is problematic in nature, and then it seemed as if I was being a hypocrite when still enjoying films like the Marvel flicks, The Dark Knight Trilogy, etc because they often featured some level or another of violent, sexual, or profane content, and that I might as well have stuck with Green Day, Metallica, Fall Out Boy, etc. I still continue to have this dilemma even now, because no matter what, I almost feel damned if I do, damned if I don’t. Also, I can’t help but feel as if, even though I do like a lot of Christian music and still try to stick to a largely Christian music “diet”, a lot of secular artists simply have got the Christian music side beat in talent and catchiness in songs. I feel like few, if any, Christian bands that I like are able to really stand against the sheer talent of bands like Queen and Fun (both of whom have very impressive gang vocals and instrumental experimentation and composition). Is there a lot of good Christian music out there? Yes, but I do feel as if, even though I like it, like I’m sometimes being cheated or settling for less, or even listening to music that is just as lyrically problematic as a lot of secular music. And what’s frustrating is that this covers virtually all the genres of Christian music that I’ve sampled.
Anyways, I don’t wish to come across as being petty or stupid, but this is a genuine question that I would like to ask fellow Christians on here.

Does This Make You Want To Sterilize Certain Folks?


Orlando Shaw, Nashville Father With 22 Children By 14 Women, Sued For Unpaid Child Supporthttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/06…
A Tennessee man who has 22 children by 14 women is being sued in what might be one of Nashville’s most expensive child support cases, according to CBS affiliate WTVF.
In an interview outside court, Orlando Shaw said he loves all of his kids and considers himself a good father — it’s just that he can’t afford to pay child support.
Gawker noted that the 33-year-old appeared to have “lost count” of how many kids he has during an interview. On the whole, Shaw appeared to be both unapologetic about his circumstance and unprepared to tackle its steep financial challenges.

Do You Think This Will Be An Effective Way Of Promoting A Certain Industry?


I believe that a good way to get more people interested in a certain niche industry is to link it with another fandom. I have been trying to promote the anime industry with my theme song polls and such. So far, I have been trying to lure members of the 80’s/90’s nostalgia movement and the Brony fandom in. Most of the time, I started by first introducing a year that provokes nostalgia (ex. 1993, 1985), and then posting the theme song of a nostalgic cartoon as the first. Then the second is the theme song of a show (or theme song of a show’s season or something like that) that came out the same year which I want to promote.
That’s how I got into anime. I entered the 90’s nostalgia movement and watched cartoons and such, which then lured me into 90’s anime and then radiated outward to other decades including the present day ones.
Do you think that is a good tactic?

Would You Buy This Product?


I’ve just invented this new idea for a beverage. The basics behind it is that the temperature is at a refreshable level prior to opening the can and drinking.
The way this works is with an endothermic reaction (un-decided, but possibly with Aluminium Chloride and Water/Barium Hydroxide Octahydrate).
To make this work however, an extra ‘insulating’ layer is added to the can to be filled with one of the endothermic reactants (for this example, let’s say water) and the other reactant (aluminium chloride) attached onto the can in such a way, that when opened, the collide and react to form an endothermic reaction (drawing in heat AKA making it colder). This would cool the beverage considerably, making it much more refreshing in summer/hot climates.http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=5makvs&s…
(The Red is the Aluminium Chloride, the Blue is the Water, the Purple is the endothermic product. This basically just shows what I mean, with the cola securely kept away from mixing with any products, but receiving the ‘coldness’ of the endothermic reaction).
The wrapper covering the can would make sure there is no complications in picking up the can. The metal inside the can would also be sturdy to make sure there are no piercings that end up mixing the solutions.
The can will, most likely, either cost more than the average can of coke (due to the materials) OR will be less than 330ml (as more space is required for the reactants).
Now, for the design.
I could make this very pinpointed with one type of niche market (excluding thirsty people) – Fallout fans.
Imagine I have rights to the Nuka Cola name (although I don’t think it’s trademarked anyway), I would call the can ‘Ice Cold Nuka Cola’. Not only does it fit the name of the product perfectly (ice cold cola, what else?) but it also reaches out to gamers (which is a huge industry) as well as the usual markets
So basically, thoughts and opinions on this random brainstorm?
