  1. While I agree with your premise, I think the folks protesting against an Israeli participating in a "silly talent contest" tip-toes the line of being anti-Israel. Unless I missed it, this lady didn't say anything negative about Palestine. She's as innocent as any of us who were against the invasion of Irag/Afghanistan after 9/11, but happen to live in the US. How does stopping her from being in a talent show move their agenda forward? She just wants to sing.
  2. Agreed. The ideal situation, IMO, would be the elimination (or limitation) of inheritance. The tribes in central California used to burn all the possessions of tribal members when they died to maintain relative equality...IE no generational wealth. I'm not suggesting burning assets, but some sort of redistribution of "excess" wealth, seems reasonable. The idea being that parents use their assets, during their lifetimes, to set their children up for future success, but that attaining success is the responsibility of the children themselves. Obviously, this is more a philosophical discussion than a practical one, since it would never happen, but studying historical examples could lead to new ideas about closing the wealth gap.
  3. So jealous. I went to Polvo's last night and made the mistake of ordering migas...the waiter asked if I wanted cheese on them? I didn't even know it was legal to serve migas without cheese....worst migas of my life. I'm becoming convinced that the day old Austin died was when Las Manitas closed its doors...RIP.
  4. That's regarded. Palestine needs to be recognized and its borders recognized and secured.
  5. Yikes, I hadn't stopped by this thread in a minute...I had no idea posting something that like 40% of the population says out loud would be so controversial to that 40%. Sorry Rex, go back to putting your head in the sand...I didn't mean to upset you by pointing out the obvious.
  6. Um, that was a movie...but our DNA is literally 8% virus. The viruses that helped to make you human (bbc.com)
  7. Wrong. Clearly this guy is an ace recruiter, how else can you explain an instate player taking a phone call from a coach at the 2nd largest university in the state of Texas? Check mate whorn!
  8. Bullshit, the guy with the brass knucks was the biggest pussy of the bunch. He's clearly a graduate of the Kyle Rittenhouse school of tough guys...needs illegal weapons to feel like a real man... Not one of the protestors budged an inch and he scurried off like the pussy he is.
  9. I haven't read all 17 pages...do you ever have bad run ins with brown bears? What's been you're most harrowing experience with an animal in Alaska?
  10. Well, that's a level of stupid I didn't expect. Hoping it's an attempt at comedy...if so, don't quit your day job, and if not... Yes, ants and mosquitos are destroying the planet.
  11. To be fair, there have been multiple extinction events on planet Earth, so it's not exactly pure fantasy.
  12. I'd like to reiterate how amazing this show is...the acting is some of the best I've seen in a series in a long time...across the board. I mean even the dog and cat are great, lol. Can't wait for tonight's episode.
  13. Everything, IMO People are the most destructive "virus" on the planet. But in terms of practicality, AI is coming, meaning fewer jobs, meaning more poverty, meaning more crime, meaning more civil unrest, meaning more war, etc... I believe the only solution is fewer people, and a system of universal basic income. People who want to be wealthier can work at one of the fewer jobs available.
  14. I don't watch LCK, but....
  15. Just a quick survey, am I the only one on this board who thinks population decline is a good thing?
  16. I absolutely hate pussy ass mother fuckers like this asshole. Calls other people pussies while wearing brass knucks...take those off and see what happens bitch.
  17. I think it's bullshit that they had one team with 5 members and the other only 4.
  18. So, let me get this straight, Lole is one of the highest paid athletes on the Texas roster? Yep, that tracks.
  19. A simple "yes" when she asks if he's a citizen and they would have been on their way. And make sure you say "yes" in English. When I was 16 some friends and I ventured into to Matamoros during spring break...on the way back in the officer asked if I was a citizen, and young, dumb Dixon decided to be funny and say "si". Let's just say the cop got the last laugh...I've spoken crystal clear English when faced with the same situation since.
  20. I get your point, but would hardly call that heavy handed law enforcement...if he were black he may have been shot. Florida sheriff deputies burst into wrong apartment and fatally shot U.S. airman, attorney says - CBS News
  21. He keeps screaming about not having to ID himself because he is in Texas...um, didn't Abbott recently sign a law that says you have to? Maybe he should have voted for Beto.
  22. Not sure if serious..., but I had to look it up. Apparently in right wing circles a "coal burner" is a "non-black person, usually a woman, who has sexual relationships with black people, usually men".
