  1. You say that at least partially in jest, but see, this is one of the many fairy tales that they tell themselves. In fact the shit that they believe is so all-encompassing and so anti-reality and anti-history that I'm at a point where my only response to their bullshit is...
  2. Me American, me am smart, me no laugh at Chinese part
  3. I should say that the one guy that didn't look like that was the president of the frat, who actually looked like he was counting on that to happen. But he then sprang into apologetics mode and said, and I quote, "fellas, this ain't about racism. It's about heritage."
  4. I was on the 40 acres in the mid 90s when the KAs were openly racist. No idea if they got banned to Bolivia or how much shit has changed. For example do all the little shits in Westlake choose Old Miss, Auburn etc for the "culture" that's now missing at UT? Couldn't answer w/r/t Westlake in specific, but that's exactly how it was at Midwestern State in the aforementioned year. I've no reason to believe it's changed one bit. Again, they have a fucking night every year where the guys dress like Ashley Wilkes in uniform and the girls dress like Scarlett O'Hara, and in this case, they did it on a property that looks like fucking Tara. And they had the nerve to look puzzled when the one black guy in our group walked out in the middle of their presentation during rush week. Just awful people.
  5. I mean given that they're celebrating some bullshit that took place in a 4 year span in the 1860's back when I was in college in 2003, I think it's pretty safe to say "yes, they still do that shit."
  6. I dont know personally..... I watch those games too because I know I will have to wait 8 months until the next season. That's like saying "well, the reason I fucked that 60 year old former prostitute with the 23 STD's, the prosthetic leg and the voice box is because I'm about to go to Antarctica for 8 months and won't be getting any pussy until I come back." Dude, we've got the internet. We have YouTube and the like. I will watch that 2017 CFP final 10,000 times in full with commercials before even contemplating watching 3 minutes of last year's fucking Myrtle Beach Bowl.
  7. In theory, yes. In actual practice, that's never going to work, and for the reasons you later state. And let's be clear, it really is just about money and power. These arguments about "the integrity/uniqueness of college football" are a bunch of crap. They're colors and lights, bells and whistles, smoke and mirrors, etc. The next motherfucker that tries to get cute and argue "IT'S UNIQUE" is getting this pic in response, and that's it because that's all they've merited:
  8. One small correction: They do believe in the first amendment regarding the religious provision... Then again, their conception of "freedom of religion" is "the unobstructed ability to impose religion on others with total impunity."
  9. This is who they’ve always been
  10. I was gonna say, was that a serious question?
  11. It may or may not be, but the point is certainly valid. Those other bowl game are a ratings laughingstock. There were 16 bowl games (roughly 60% of the field) that failed to crack a 2.0 rating (roughly 3.5 million viewers), 9 of which didn't even crack 2 million viewers. More people watch The Wall than that shit. What's particularly embarrassing about that is the fact that the lower bowl games are played in their own individual time slots so as to avoid competing against other bowl games...and that's the best they can do? https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/ I would instantly counter your counter with "that's just you and a comparative handful of people. Most college football fans do not give a shit about those games."
  12. Beat me to it. They’re just bucking for free equipment to keep a file on their dirty tramp wives...because they’re cucks.
  13. It’s possible to hate a political party for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with why someone else hates that party.
  14. Oh I remember. Followed all the way through and even remember watching a Boston Legal episode that focused on it and it captured the mood of the whole thing quite well.
  15. You know, as appealing as that sounds, you probably just gave that guy grounds to shoot you.
  16. Well Obama was a piece of performance art in his own right, but he wasn’t exactly wrong there. Just seems odd coming from him as I figured those types had a modicum of professional courtesy, especially when they play for the same team.
  17. Different stories, yes, but not different in their motive to pass themselves off as something that they weren't. As to which was worse, I think that's fairly obvious. No point in cockfighting those two. They were both nightmares, but the whole Lenin/Trotsky/Stalin thing was a much preferred nightmare to Hitler, who took the word "nightmare" to a whole other level. But my point is that with one, we're supposed to take their self-promotion seriously where as we're supposed to call bullshit on the other. My only point is to call bullshit on both in as far as the S-word is concerned.
  18. Ashtray soda pop dingo? It’s funny because everyone here agrees that the Nazis were fascists, even though fascism is diametrically opposed to socialism in every conceivable way. And yet we still agree on that point, despite the fact that “Nazi” is slang for “National Socialist.” We all agree that they were not socialists in the slightest, and we all agree that they were merely using that word to boost their credibility with the broad population (since back in those days, the concept of socialism had a very real moral appeal globally). Why do we not afford the same cynical mentality to the Soviet Union? As hayden said a moment ago, “i don't think many on this board would disagree that nazi fascism and communist russia didn't have a lot in common. they were both authoritarian states that purged a significant number of their population in order to retain power. they didn't even dress that differently.” And why is he correct? Because they were both whoring the terms socialist/communist to appeal to the populations of both societies. But both were fascistic. How do we know this? Easy: apply the actual definitions of each concept, juxtapose them to what actually took place in Germany/Russia and see what you get. Please feel free to do your own research, but it’s been my observation since I began looking into this 14 years ago that what took place in those two countries had almost everything to do with fascism and hardly anything (if at all) to do with socialism. Socialism is an anarchic movement that seeks to restore "workers control of the means of production," which is the core definition of the term. And it's very hard to imply either society was even remotely befitting to that concept when you consider the kind of union/council busting that went on (Russia was particularly awful and it was done almost immediately under Lenin, so Stalin can't even claim credit for that). Yeah, they flew the flag, but if all you do is fly a flag, you're not socialist, fascist, capitalist, etc. You're just a fan of a fucking team, and as a fan of that team, you will follow that team down every weird ass road...like when Republicans offer apologetics for covfefe. So why didn’t they simply call themselves the “Fascist Party?” Simply put, fascism had no broad appeal. It never has, does not, and likely never will. Yes, there are fringe elements of each society to support that crap, but it isn’t nearly enough to literally take over an entire country. If the Nazis were called the Nationalfaschistische Deutsche Partei, and if what became of the Bolsheviks were called the Fashistskaya partiya Sovetskogo Soyuza, my guess is hardly any of us would even know who Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin even were, much less would they’ve built the horrid legacies that they did. tl;dr: I've never offered this before because I struggled to find an example that UT fans could clearly understand, but here it is: Nazi Germany/USSR promoting themselves as "socialist countries"=30 year old Ron Weaver passing himself off as 23 year old Ron McKelvey
  19. When you begin with a premise that the Soviet Union had even the vaguest connection to the concept of socialism, the inevitable answer to your question is, obviously, "snausages."
  20. Well he actually doesn't need to say the BCS isn't the CFP. He just needs to point out that neither one of those teams lost the SEC championship game. Which is true; neither did. LSU won it, Bama didn't play in it. Georgia, on the other hand, did lose it 42-10 and were punished by being sent to the Outback Bowl, which they also lost to a 3-loss Michigan State.
