But see, that’s something they cannot say.

That’s always going to be true regardless of what y’all’s records are. You could face them 8-3 vs 7-4 and it’s still going to be the big circled calendar date of the year. That’s what makes rivalries special, not championship implications. The championship implications aren’t going to be there every single season. And that’s not unique to college football, either. Back in 2009 I coached at Wichita Falls High School. The team was terrible. By the end of the year, they’d gone into the final game 2-7. No playoff spot available to them, no real purpose to the rest of the season, right? Except that last opponent was Wichita Falls Rider; their arch rival…who was also entering the game 2-7 with no shot at the playoffs. There wasn’t an empty seat in that stadium, and it was known to be that way well in advance. In those games, the records don’t matter. In 1997, Texas and Oklahoma met in the cotton bowl, and neither team had a winning record (Texas was 2-2, OU was 2-3). The stadium was filled to capacity, again as expected. It’s also well understood that a big part of your job as head coach of either school depends on whether or not you can beat that team across the river. If you can’t, you’re not gonna last long. Again, the argument that expanding the playoff diminishes the regular season relies on inherently fallacious reasoning. I can find no better example of a non sequitur than that. Well maybe I can find a contender…

Aside from the fact that again, this is an issue between a woman and her doctor, or a child and her parents and the doctor they choose for her… aside from the fact that parsing out whether or not the pregnancy in question really is a result of a rape is not as simple as the girl says so and the doctors have to believe her…aside from the complete indecency of this argument, it’s fraught with gaps in how to deal with certain scenarios. So say a female (pick the age, don’t care) does get raped and is beaten so severely as to render her unconscious and she’s out for a couple days. Plan B only works when administered 3 days or closer to the sexual event in question. You show me a female that was beaten and raped so severely that she was out for 4 days in a hospital and I’ll show you a female who has no use for Plan B. Or, how about she doesn’t lose consciousness but she is admitted to, let’s say, a Catholic hospital and they refuse to give her a plan B. What’s she supposed to do? Flee from her room and run down to a CVS in her gown to buy it? Furthermore, plan B isn’t as simple as this…simpleton makes it sound. The way it works is it stifles ovulation. But if you’re already ovulating, it won’t work, which is one of the big reasons it’s considered 57-93% effective. And one would be a shitty person to assume “well no rapist would rape a girl who’s ovulating.” But see, that’s just the thing. None of this is as simple as these idiots think that it is, which is just another reason that the conversations themselves are totally inappropriate. This is like a bunch of women debating at what age a man has to undergo a government forced vasectomy. Oh and “just feed ‘em a plan B” might not even be an option if those 6 morons on the SCOTUS have things the way Uncle Ruckus suggested. So again, fuck off to people who see brilliance and talent in arguments like that.

There’s also the added element of the absence of any reason to believe that it “marginalizes the regular season.” That’s just a form of extremist religious dogma that was concocted by fanboys of the bowl system. As far as actual logic is concerned, it ranks right up there with belief in the firmament.

Not to mention a 12-team playoff (or even 16) would make it the most exclusive playoff in the entire sport from high school on up. Nobody ever says that, though. Some always like to whine that this or that number is “too many” without ever giving a clear definition of what that even means or why it’d be a bad thing. It’s just all about the whims and wishes from the bedtime story people.

Isn’t this a bit like saying “dishonest liar” or “gay homosexual?” -
Yeah that would be totally inappropriate if any of us mentioned the head stain.

As I’ve said many times before, right-wingers are not in the slightest bit interested in having schools teach American history. What they want is for schools to teach American mythology and call it “history.”

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]

Must explain why textbooks also offer apologetics for McCarthyism.

That’s exactly what you just did. You falsely asserted that “the left” controls education and when called on your bullshit dishonesty, you projected about such people living in a fantasy land. That’s just more assert-the-opposite. You can’t even get off the starting block of “first, define what the political left even is.” The reality I live in recognizes that the state of Texas in particular does teach or is proposing to teach whacked out nonsense like: -Moses should be taught as part of US history -Africans were not brought to the US as slaves; they came here as part of an involuntary relocation program -The civil war was fought over states’ rights. -We also have quite a few states that teach abstinence only education, which happens to be in the states far in the lead in teen pregnancies, repeat teen pregnancies and teenage abortions (and if I’m not mistaken, teenage STI’s), which incidentally is the failure the teachings of the religious right have always been known to be. In addition, just within the lifetime of a lot of people who post here, we’ve had to go to court over: -Whether “intelligent design” can/should be taught as a science -Whether compulsory prayer should be permitted in public schools -Whether black children should be able to attend public schools with white children Yeah, owned by “the left” my ass. There isn’t a single shred of evidence you could demonstrate to reflect that. If you could, you’d have done that already instead of that pitiful tactic known as leaning into your own feelings and emotions.

I live in reality. You’d be able to recognize that were you to try it once in a while. Might wanna start with learning what “the left” even is.

They would be better were it not for all the damn MAGAts on the team
-
Except you didn’t call a spade a spade. You lied; the exact opposite of calling a spade a spade. The “left” has about as much control over education as the Nazi party has control over San Francisco swinger groups.

I mean just knowing that they’re going to should be reason enough. I can’t understand anyone who’d think “well i know uncle Ruckus said they should do that, but it probably won’t be until later so I’ll sit this one out for now.”

It’s a work. He’s trying to negate mens rea by making people think that he legit believes that he won the 2020 election. It’s a cynical ruse at best. If he really is telling lawyers that, then that means he’s just like a bad combination of Andy Kaufman, Alan Dershowitz and Terry Bollea: never off the work. -

Let me put it to you this way. Lauren Boebert is driving 65 mph westbound. MGT is driving in reverse 35 mph eastbound because she thinks the “D” on the gearshift means “devil.” They crash into each other. Boebert is ejected from the car because seatbelts are a form of government tyranny that need to be defunded. She’s ejected and literally goes into MGT’s car and her head bashes into MGT’s head. Their heads both explode and their brains fuse together. Given the respective rates of velocity and the fact that they were traveling in opposing directions on a level surface with a relatively calm crosswind, I think it must be stated that it’d be impossible to tell the difference between that and whatever poor Herschel has going on up there.

Especially when you consider that he’s Exhibit A of a white, southern, racist male’s stereotypical perception of a black man. ”I can’t be racist because I voted for a black man!” Yeah, the one black man everyone should have voted against. It’s just proof positive that the GQP and their voters are all about party over country. Seriously, they can’t even argue about that anymore. The only reason they’d ever consider voting for poor Herschel is precisely, exactly, and only because Herschel is a Trump boot licker from way back.

Seriously, poor Herschel is that pro wrestler who always needed a manager because he couldn’t cut a promo…and Ted Cruz wants everyone to see a Dwayne Johnson or a Ric Flair in that empty head of his.

It’s nominally for both, but in reality it most certainly is meant to condone abortion. For what reason would a man living in the those times have to suspect one of his wives had been unfaithful? She wouldn’t have an iPhone that contained some incriminating text messages to some other dude. In fact women back then were by and large illiterate, so a written correspondence in any form wouldn’t be in the cards. It’s not like he’s gonna catch her talking on the phone to this guy, either. See, here’s another dirty secret about the Bible, both OT and NT: contrary to what American evangelicals prefer to make believe, the Bible does not say that marriage is “one man and one woman.” It does not say that. In fact there’s no clear definition (i.e. one passage or multiple passages saying the same thing) of what qualifies as a marriage. If you read it, and by that I mean all of it and not just the flowery passages your pastor carefully selected for recommendation to you, what you’ll come away with is this: the implied, consensus biblical definition of marriage is one man and however many women that man can afford to keep in his house. Since that’s the case, here’s why one of a man’s wives would be subjected to this nasty bit of insanity that’s found in Numbers 5: Men traveled with other men for hunting quite a bit and they would be gone for long stretches. If one of them returned home and one of his wives, that he didn’t favor as much as the others, turned up looking like she was pregnant when she should not be, THAT was the hint that led him to believe she had cheated on him. It wasn’t based on “intuition” or “instinct,” or even paranoia. The fucking girl is pregnant, and he knows it’s not by him. Yeah Numbers 5 and its test of the unfaithful wife does list the possibilities of what happens when a woman drinks that nasty ass water, but we all know where it’s leading. It’s leading to a nightmarish conclusion. So by now, if you’re honest, you might be asking “so if he already knows, why take her to the priest to find out what he already knows?” The answer is simple. No man wants one of his wives carrying around some other dude’s bastard, especially when the deed was done while she was already married. And that’s really the point; that men in those times had as much respect for a woman’s choice as American conservatives do today. Fortunately for all of us, there’s as much reason to believe that dusty water could actually serve as a magic potion that induced abortions as there is to believe in that ridiculous book in general. and it’s about time to remind our wonderful readers that America is not a Christian theocracy and it would be a ludicrous waste of time defending one’s political views on the basis of what’s found in the Bible. But however ludicrous it is, it’s that much more ludicrous to defend one’s political views on the basis of what’s imagined to be found in the Bible. To me, that’s like basing speed limits on the idea that reaching 88 mph will cause the car to disappear and reanimate at a different point in time.

Why is it that when Christian pro-birth anti-choice whackjobs weigh in on this topic, they always expose themselves as knowing less about their own side of the argument than we know about both sides? It says that it will make “your thigh rot” because according to Jewish law, from the 41st day of gestation until the day of delivery, what’s growing inside the woman is considered exactly what that implies: an extension of the woman’s body; most commonly referred to as a “thigh.” That’s precisely why other translations read “the womb will discharge.” It’s funny that you said “you’re not Christian” because even the most fundamentalist nutbag Christian would know Numbers is an Old Testament book, which means Jews know this shit. And judging by your asinine response, they’d know it a hell of a lot better than you do.

Dude we know. The only behavioral problem that’s transparent about you is this: You do not use the goddamned “ignore” feature nearly as often as you should.

Natural consequence of unshakably believing the real world functions in the way it’s described in a high school civics class.
