  1. “But he was talking tough and confidently!!! That’s why we believe him!!!”
  2. And if anyone doubts this, just watch that bullshit genetic nonsense and juxtapose it with Sanjay Gupta. Tell me that he's handling both conversations the same way and you're a fucking liar.
  3. Been over 20 years since we last played them. Looking forward to it.
  4. yeah Rogan’s not progressive. He’s not really anything. He’s, as suggested earlier, a sponge that can be talked into and out of anything.
  5. Right and that’s really the overarching theme here: that a person so suggestible to provably false falderal has absolutely no business being in the kind of position he occupies.
  6. Hell, they go batshit when anything gives that vague appearance. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read/heard the phrase “freedom of speech” or “first amendment” in connection with fucking Neil Young. It’s absolute insanity. It basically goes like this. They don’t want Original Law or New Law. They want Diet Law: all the rights, none of the responsibilities.
  7. Also, a quick Wikipedia search on the MAOA gene shows this. ”Several studies have found differences in the frequency distribution of variants of the MAOApromoter repeat between ethnic groups: 52-59% of African American men,[11][10] 48-62% of Chinese men,[12][10][13][14] 62% of Maori men,[9] 57% of Japanese men,[15] and 33-37% of European men[10][11] carried the 3R allele, while 5.5% of Black men, 0.1% of Caucasian men, and 0.00067% of Asian men carried the 2R allele." Ok so by this dumbass’ rationale, Chinese and Japanese men should be as or more violent than African Americans. Except… “However, a large genome-wide association study has failed to find any large or statistically significant effects of the MAOA gene on aggression.[47] A separate GWAS on antisocial personality disorder likewise did not report a significant effect of MAOA.[48] Another study, while finding effects from a candidate gene search, failed to find any evidence in a large GWAS.[46] A separate analysis of human and rat genome wide association studies, Mandelian randomization studies, and causal pathway analyses likewise failed to reveal robust evidence of MAOA in aggression.[49] This lack of replication is predicted from the known issues of candidate gene research, which can produce many substantial false positives.[50]” … ”The effects of MAOA genes on aggression have also been criticized for being heavily overstated.[56]Indeed, the MAOA gene, even in conjunction with childhood adversity, is known to have a very small effect.[57] The vast majority of people with the associated alleles have not committed any violent acts.[58][59]” So is this what that fuckwad would qualify as “doing your own research?” Just asking questions.
  8. Exactly what I was thinking. Hell, just on a personal level, my ancestors who moved to Virginia from Scotland back in the late 1600’s did it to escape British violence and oppression. So they thought the “red savages” of North America were less violent than the English. But sure, whoever that moron guest of Rogan’s was; go ahead and believe in some make believe and pretend bullshit about Europeans being less violent because “farmers and stuff.”
  9. Oh and as far as the origins of Nickelback hate: Not an endorsement, just putting it out there
  10. Accurate assessment. Seriously. "Legitimate political discourse" are just three words which they have absolutely no idea what any of them mean individually, much less in conjunction with each other. That's like Mitch "Blood Green" giving a lecture on particle physics.
  11. This needed to be the collective response.
  12. But but but those guys committed minor crimes like 5-7 years before the cops shot them so that makes it ok
  13. So if he tells the whole story, what's the Over/Under on how many times you call the TT a liar?
  14. It was going to be either us who went there or Skyline since DISD throws a fit whenever we’re paired with their teams.
  15. I absolutely loathe that term because there’s hardly anything intellectual about them.
  16. So which season could you verifiably say the CFP was more intriguing/competitive than the NFL playoffs going back to 2014? I can find some years where the NFL was better and other years where it was essentially a push, but that’s it. Parity tends to do that. When all things are damn near equal, random shit plays like that decide games. It’s not like when LSU played OU in the CFP and LSU could have had 7 turnovers and it still wouldn’t have mattered.
  17. Yeah and he kills it, butchers it and cooks it himself in his own ground pit which holds wood he personally cut and he lights the fire with flint and steel.
  18. I heard that in Stewie’s voice from this clip
  19. As someone who’s married to a first generation American, I can tell you that’s not an uncommon conversation that’s being had.
  20. Miseducation’s been around a long time. The only thing that’s changed is that it’s gotten more and more bizarre. It used to be that “Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492, the Pilgrims sailed in 1620, had a nice meal with the Indians which we now call Thanksgiving, America won its independence from England in 1783 after the Treaty of Paris and George Washington was elected President in 1789 because he couldn’t tell a lie and admitted to cutting down the cherry tree as a boy.” A few generations later? “Christopher Columbus discovered Ohio in 1942, the Pilgrims defeated the Indians in the annual thanksgiving football game and the Indians acted like asses about it so we had to kill them, then Paul Revere started the Revolutionary War because the British Parliament wouldn’t grant us the right to bear arms, Ben Franklin was chosen as President by wowing Thomas Jefferson with the kite holding the key to Washington DC, then Jesus and Moses hand delivered the Constitution to James Madison on the Capitol steps.” Exaggeration? Only slightly.
  21. Not only is it made by Merck, but a year ago, Merck put out a statement and the overall theme was “do not give us your money to take our product for the purposes of treating COVID.” And yet these same motherfuckers ignored all of that. So they hate big Pharma so much that they’ll give them money to buy one of their products, but they don’t heed their advice not to take it for that purpose because “Big Pharma is full of shit, man.” There’s a word for that kind of tortured logic and we have a poster who bears the exact name of that condition: incredulity. I would wager all the money I have that if Merck had not released that statement, especially if it turned out that ivermectin does in fact have therapeutic value, and instead turned out a statement that read “send us your money and we will treat your COVID with this product,” they wouldn’t do it and they would find some other magical potion to deal with a very real illness.
  22. I think that’s a more narrow pinning down of a larger problem, which is the confirmation bias. To them, everything proves them correct no matter what the report is. Numbers going down? We don’t need masks, don’t need vaccinations. Numbers going up? Masks and vaccinations aren’t working. Old variants going away? Had to have been the ivermectin New variants coming in? Masks and vaccinations aren’t working, bring in the ivermectin. No new variants? See, I told you we didn’t need all these masks and vaccines. They don’t work and they didn’t do anything. Among the other isms, yes. Well yeah that’s kinda what I meant by shouting “I win!!! I’m king!!!” from the bottom of the hill.
  23. Taint dick, taint ass
