  1. Without judgment, a lot of you sound like old guys trying to prove how manly you are (were) because back in your day getting pussy was the most important measure. I'm an old millenial but I can somewhat identify with some gen-z characteristics, one of those is giving less of a shit about proving your manhood. I never really understood the crawl over glass obsession with sex. Yeah, it's a fun time but it seems older generations seem to put a lot more emphasis on it.

    I hate everything about, you.

    MAGA , specifically Jan 6 riot and ISRAEL, which is a foreign nation for those who don't know. 

    why would hyper patriotic Americans wave Israeli flags when the topic is the US election?

    To be fair, when I see a Q flag flying, I tend to think everyone there believes in nonsensical bullshit so I do not put any additional thought into it.    It is as absurd as celebrating the stars and bars along with the U.S. flag and pretending they are equivalent.

    Look, you know me......a little anyway but I came in this thread to call out a lie that you yourself have clearly confirmed and that is that the left doesn't lie and make shit up out of thin air. Nothing I say or post will be taken seriously, I know that. I am half trolling these people anyway. Sometimes it is fun to kick the hornets nest and watch them follow and neg all my posts across the site. You see how they are, they attack you just because you defended me once. Remember, they will never forget that.

    Whatever I say/post will get twisted into something that it isn't just like it always is. I openly admit Trump is a pandering lying politician and you say the same for Biden but Biden gets a pass, go figure. Both Candidates are pieces of shit and we disagree on which one is worse. For all the people in here that think I'm some kind of unicorn in the way I think. That may be the case in here but it sure as hell isn't in the real world. The polls clearly show that not to mention my own experiences. Now I will leave you to it and go put on my tin foil hat and wait for more of my conspiracy theories to come true. Hopefully you got some of your street cred back from these CR Junkies but I doubt it.

    Leegin should have made that clear to everyone, but a bunch of lawyers here who have since had conversions on this road told me at that time I didn't understand how negotiations work. 

    You are also too stupid to understand the law, so just leave the thinking to the great minds of Thomas, Taney (of Dredd Scott decision fame), etc. so shut the fuck up and do what you are told.   /Roberts.

    This is Abbott’s Texas.  If he could get aroused, he would be anroused over seeing cops beating another Texan that he doesn’t like.  He wants these protests.

    They are not real Texans in his mind.   Or people.

    And once again, none of this was a problem before we elected the carnival barking conman. 

    Um, it was a problem when we started putting hacks and morons on the supreme court and pretending they were anything but.  Citizens United was a moronic decision.

    I get the argument about the internet and smartphones, but didn't that also make it way easier to get on an app and find some rando to bang on any given night? Referring back to my prior post, my early 20's niece has said how gross she and her friends think Tinder is and consider it an older millennial think to just bang whoever swipes the right direction. 

    You do understand how logic doesn't exist with this same age group right?  I talked to my nieces about smoking cigarettes and they all agreed how gross it was and how bad it was.  None of their friends do it.  Feeling encouraged I asked about vaping.   I was discouraged after that.

  9. Cosign chief.  it would also help identify the mentally ill who cannot accept authority - and would provide a means (possibly) for those with sketchy literacy skills to be forced to sit in the class with the teaching equivalent of a drill sergeant helping them how to read and write at (at least) a minimal level required to be a functioning member of society. 
    In a broader picture, it would take people out of their current culture and get them away from people/family/friends who enable negative behavior with their support.   
    If you only lived in bumfuck Arkansas or some Inner-city project your whole life, the fact of meeting a ton of different people with a different take on the world would be a positive thing. It would also be good for kids born on third who think they hit a home run to have to compete - and lose - to individuals they previously thought were their inferiors. 
    I think it is a great idea and a good return for the money.  And if we ever face a Ukraine situation, you have millions of people who went through basic training.

    Huh?

    Rapidly increasing interest rates put a lot of stress on banks. It feels like we’ve been lucky that the failures have been contained so far. For all I know bank failures will be what forces interest rates to reverse. 

    I was having fun.   But seriously, if an organization is blindsided by zero interest rates going up then they should seriously consider exiting finance/investment banking and enter the world of making french fries.   Fucking morons.   Never considered that risk exposure?

  11. Mel Kiper is the Jeff Fisher of Draft Prognosticators. 
    Mel Kiper is a talentless hack. 
    Mel Kiper is the biggest proof point that worthless white men unfairly get good jobs. 

    Meh. He was always a bit of a goofball who took himself too seriously because it seemed no one else gave a shit to do that job. Only fools think he has some kind of insight, or celebrate when he is wrong.

    Might as well ask your psychic.

    And frankly, that's how I think it has to be.  Every instance of massive, fast change in history leads to war.  That's probably hyperbole, but I can't think of any examples where it's not true.

    Slow methodical change is great when you are not the one being victimized.

    Not missing the point, just saying that I don't think it's as big of a deal as some others.  

    It happens all the time.  Is that good?  No, but it's not really bad either since I maintain protests serve little purpose but to annoy other people.

    Nothing gets solved by people shouting at each other or holding signs.  Never has, never will.  

    So, for instance, if a cop wants to pull a climate protester out of the middle of the road so I can get home from work, I'm all for it.  Selfish?  Sure, but so is the protester.  

    When you get to the point that you want to actually do something constructive to solve the problem?  I got your back.

    I hope you are completely missing it.  I hope you haven't realized is that there is a joining of oppositional positions on this issue, and they are not joined based on a policy towards Israel, but on a policy that the University should not be suppressing students from exercising their rights in a peaceful manner.   It is not about their message.  Is it not about if their strategy or campus protests are impactful.   What people are upset about is that our Governor, The University President, used an arm of law enforcement to suppress the lawful rights of individuals, assaulted them, battered them, and arrested them under false pretenses.   Full stop.   

    You don't think it is a big deal, but we do.  The government's resources are to be used for the public good, not for the political whims of the elected and appointed, and certainly not to deprive individuals of their rights.   This will not stop here.   

    If you understand these points and consider yourself an American, then you should care.   Because these are fundamental parts about the identity of this society.  That doesn't mean you have to be a flag fucker.   It doesn't mean you have to put the Founding Fathers on a pedestal.  But if you give a shit about leaving a legacy for our children that we live in an open and self-deterministic free society,  then give a shit about authoritarianism tactics being used by the state, even against those you dislike and despise.

    BTW, I am with you on people protesting in highways fucking traffic up for everyone else.    But let's not conflate one group with another just because they have some alignment.
