Pretty simplistic thinking but the government and insurance companires don't have a hold on grocery stores and hardware stores like they do on prescrition drug coverages and what pharmacies are able to charge, bill and collect. Also when you factor in all expenses such gas and vehicle costs to name a couple, see different thread to discuss gas issues, to travel from Bowman to Dickinson or Carrington to Jamestown to buy "cheaper" meds, are they really "cheaper" when it is all said and done?

Pretty sure I know to whom...............

Obamacare/ACA and this measure passing is a death sentence for locally owned rural pharmacies IMO. Good luck to the 85 year old grandma living on a cattle ranch outside of Bowman who has to race into Dickinson in mid January to refill her meds at Walmart because that's her only option...but wait the meds are now "cheaper" in Dickinson.

Let me put it this way...I know that a locally owned pharmacy in Fargo has lost money for the first time ever last year due to changes in healtcare, i.e. ACA, and if measure 7 passes I have no doubt this state will see a number of small rural town pharmacies go under.

With a record number of measures to be voted on in ND unfortunately I got a feeling the uninformed voter might swing some of these because on face value a few are worded tricky...meaning voting yes actually means no.

I thought gfhockey was supposed to have gotten the call out of the bullpen by now?

LOL...stereotyping! Read the title of your own thread here and this is coming from you. Now that's really rich! I'll let you have the last word if you want...I'm gonna bow out.

Again...find a mirror or stop the "racist" police business you continually pull around here.

Stop..........why bring any rational into this.

No...you always are what I expect when you chime in here.

By pointing out you are a complete hypocrite. You throw the "racist" card on this site whenever you can but you are worse...you hide behind your gender and that fact you are a minority. Detroit is 83% black...and you compare their crime to Fargo. This thread was "racist" when you started it. You are a joke.

You ever look in the mirror?

Detroit is what % non-white...and someone then calls Fargo the "new Detroit" due to its increase in crime. Just saying........... BTW...have a nice rest of your day!

If you know anything about Fargo, its growing population, and how that correlates with increase in crime one could argue the title of this thread has racist undertones. Detroit has major crime problem due to most of its crime being perpetrated by non-whites. I could claim you are racist for comparing crime in Detroit to Fargo's increase in crime due to the large influx of non-whites in this area. But you being female and a minority obviously give you as pass in everything and all things "racist". BTW I bet with someone here as to how long it would take you to throw out the term "racist". I lost...thought it would come out earlier in this thread.

That is the key...............I see people here in Fargo daily that have been here for a decade plus and they still speak no English and have made zero effort to assimulate.

My bad............

Yes...seriously.

Last night at 5 pm my oldest daughter, 14, and I went to Courts Plus to shoot some hoops and work on a few basketball things. By 6:15 pm we were the ONLY white people on one of the courts and were pretty much asked to get out of the way and leave................

I live in Fargo...know some guys up the chain in the FPD and we have had general conversations on crime here. To claim "new Detroit" is a huge stretch. As Sic indicated Fargo isn't Williston and the police force is probably understaffed for the population. Fargo isn't getting a lot of the unsavory "get rich quick" people like out west. Per my conversation with some in the know a lot of the issues crime wise can be traced back to LSS of ND and MN and the influx of people brought to this region a few years ago. Lots is ethnic diversity in the metro FM area now and all cultures, including white guys like me, are to blame for what you read from a far. When we first moved to south Fargo in '98 the FPD held a neighborhood block party to inform all of us the area just a few blocks south of us was one of the high incident crime areas: violence, theft and drugs...it was a "community" of people not originally from this area.

Weber is winless...regardless who plays QB I expect UND to win this game at home dispute their last 2 performances.

I would agree with this moving forward into the WI series.

Least ira didn't throw out the Fantasy FB or Madden barbs at you...but I did win my FFL last year and have never played Madden. He obviously has some serious skin in the game with Joe personally and one can kind of respect that loyalty... albeit somewhat blinded. Right now UND has played 3 QBs to date and I have no idea if Joe will reach his "potential", if Ryan will be the guy if healthy or if Keaton is the best of the bunch going into next year. If Joe is healthy, plays great in camp again and gets the job next year I would hope then some of that potential that ira references often is reached.

I did include Panz. He knows his role and does good job at it when in the lineup. Colton knows his role and does it well too. After 3+ years what is OD's role? He has played on all 4 lines at some point and I still have no clue what his role is. Murphy is a "finisher" so that makes him a top 6 guy yet he hasn't scored a single regular season goal to date. This team needs role guys who do their job not guys that are continuing search to find a role because they came in with a label as a such and such type player. Just my opinion though.......

This team needs grit and energy guys in the lineup and the more the better. You know what Colton gives you every night. Murphy is a supposed "finisher" who can not score at this level. Panz would be a welcomed addition too. Panz Olson Gaarder...nasty to play against. If OD continues to play... OD w Bryn Colton. Then Drake Nick Parks with General LJ Pogs together. I know that takes Simomson out...who I do like.

At some point Keaton needs ice time...unfortunately the only guys he could/should spell is Mattson but don't see Hak sitting a Sr. often. Tucker was UND's best player in the late 2nd and 3rd.
