  1. Don't discount lsu, they're flush with crawfish money.
  2. A better question would be, how is public policy not politics?
  3. How can this topic be discussed without politics? The whole thing is political. Are we just supposed to discuss tent styles, and fashion?
  4. Fine. Texas should offer him a slightly above market NIL deal, and if that doesn't get him to UT then let ou or lsu over pay him.
  5. Interesting rabbit hole, but I think he was just quoting Jurassic Park when they tied the lamb, or whatever, to the stake but T-Rex wouldn't eat it. It was the best job I ever had...only stopped to go back to grad school
  6. In my mid-20's I met a Dermatologist at the gym who had, shall we say, a kink (not kink shaming) where he liked to watch other guys have sex with chicks in front of him. For a couple of years, he would pay me to have sex with girls at his house while he watched. These chicks were hot too, so not sure how he convinced them, but I also didn't care at the time.
  7. Thanks, asshole, I'd managed to block that band from my consciousness...now I gotta do it all over again.
  8. Hey just because we grew up in the 80's doesn't make us @Vic Mackey. Some of us had standards.
  9. This reminds me of a friend back in the day who claimed he didn't masturbate because "T-Rex needs to hunt"...dubious claim on the masturbation front, but maybe that's it...pussy is too easy to get now.
  10. I players had until midnight last night, schools have 48-hours to announce.

    300,000 years of Schismogenesis will do that to ya.
  12. You younguns, we had to wade through 6 inches of bush to attain pussy...you guys have it served up on a clean platter and still don't want it. You don't know how good you have it...I haven't had a pube in my teeth since the 90's, and it's glorious.
  13. Same. Clearest path to significant playing time and Venables can coach defense. That said, I think he'll be a day 1 or 2 pick regardless of where he ends up. There are literally no bad choices for him (think I just threw up in my mouth a bit), but obviously rooting for Texas.

    Gotcha on both fronts, but I'll agree to disagree with the second part. While I believe immigration is beneficial and is one of the few constants in history, I think mass immigration is bad because I believe cultural uniformity is key to a nation's success and cohesiveness. Of course, paradoxically, I'm against nation states and governments....at least in the form that rules the world today. Over time, additions from other cultures enhance the host nation's culture but too much too fast will cause problems. I mean, now that I'm thinking about it, that's kind of my philosophy in general. Everything in moderation.

    Honestly, have you posted this before because I feel like I'm having deja vu. Anyway, I agree with the second part 100%...but I think you misread my first part. I'm against mass immigration, not for it.

    LBGTQ

    Yeah, not exactly, although there is a bit of that. I just don't think rapid change is possible without mass casualties. And I've become increasingly anti-war with age, so that goes against the grain for me. That's not to say I won't fire back at the Nazis if the shit goes down (I've started acquiring guns of late...up to 10 now), but I prefer slow change and negotiated settlement. Yes, part of that is due to me being a straight, white (now), man in America, but let's not kid ourselves, the most disenfranchised American is still better off than 90+% of the world. We have running water, paved roads, money (relative to other countries). There is a reason so many minorities are still immigrating the US, despite the fact that they know they will face racism and xenophobia. I actually just had a conversation similar to this my Uber driver yesterday. He was a young man, maybe 25, who recently moved here from Rwanda, and I asked him if he'd thought he'd ever go back, to which he replied, that while he missed his family and friends, he loved it here and wanted to stay.

    It's not a road I want to go down, but I'm sure there are some. To be clear, I am not a GOP supporter. As posted before, I considered myself a conservative in my teens and early 20's...mostly because my parents were Reagan Rebulicans, but I didn't really understand what the GOP was about at the time. For me it was never about social issues. In fact, I was a bit of a club kid, so I had lots of gay friends (very few who were fully out sadly) and it never bothered me. Oh, and my best friend was a black kid who everyone thought was gay, and that we were an item, even though neither of us actually were gay. Probably didn't help that I had an earring in the 80's. I can't even count the number of times some random guy would scream "fag" as I walked by...which later morphed into my gay friends referring to me as a "Fag Stag" because I hung out with so many gay people...note to the straight crowd...if you haven't hung out with gay people I suggest you do...they are way more fun. Anyway, the point is that I still have some conservative leanings, but racism and anti-LGBTQ aren't among them. My responses in-line above...

    Not on this thread. Until today, I hadn't posted on this thread. I just happened to read it today, and @Captainant brought me into the discussion as a carry over from the UT protest thread where I was negged once by @Beau Vine and @Felix negged every one of my posts. Oh, and as a PS, I wasn't really talking about me being negged. I've talked to others offline who have had a similar experience and have ceased posting in the CR. I still try.

    Voting is the only actual recourse we have, that's why it's frustrating that people don't use it. I'm headed to the gym now, so I can't look it up, but what % of eligible voters actually vote? You're also misunderstanding facsism, or at leat how I use it. Again, I don't have a ton of time before I have to go, but I skimmed this and think this is a good primary on how I view fascism vs authoritarianism. Link And yes, I would love you to post "Umberto Eco's helpful guide for identifying and characterizing them?"

    Good for you...I'm legit glad you're doing something constructive. But, I'm getting the "heat", as you call it, because my opinion on the Pro-Palestine protestors at UT diverged from the group, which is exactly what that Atlantic article quote was about. It is also exactly why the CR has the bad reputation it does. Once upon a time differing opinions were welcome on the UT message boards (Hornfans, Shaggy, and early Surly), but now if you have an opinion that doesn't conform to "the group" you get negged into oblivion. I actually really enjoy honest debates on the issues, and am willing to move my opinions based on reasoned debate...but that shit isn't welcome here anymore. For example, if we met up, I'd bet you and I, and most other people here, would agree on 80+% of things, but in today's highly charged political climate that's not good enough, and that's a real shame IMO.

    Do tell. What have I not learned from history? I'm currently rereading Cicero, and that shit was written 2,500 years ago, but, aside from attitudes towards homosexuality, it could have been written today. History = Same shit different day. Path of least resistance isn't about giving up. It's about small changes and doing things that actually make a difference, as opposed to protesting, destroying property, and bitching on message boards. Fucking VOTE and convince others to VOTE. Volunteer for or donate to causes you care about. Engage in local / grassroots politics.

    Lol, not sure what this has to do with me since I have a long history as an LGBTQ ally, but you do you. I do, however, look forward to the day you find out what Fascism is instead of throwing it against the wall hoping it will stick. This is authoritarianism, which I am completely against...to be clear I'm against Fascism too, and while Abbott may indeed be a Fascist, this is just garden variety authoritarian behavior...which exists on (gasp) both sides. Maybe this article from The Atlantic will help you. Spoilered below in case you don't have a subscription.
  23. I think you're conflating White Nationalists with Chirstian Nationalists (who for the most part are white), which is understandable since the Venn Diagram of the two groups is almost a perfect circle. But I think you're wrong about the Judeo-Christian kumbaya aspect. Christian (white) Nationalists don't give a shit about the Jews as a people. They need Israel to be a Jewish homeland for the rapture to occur. I mean the entire dogma is that Christianity is supreme and everyone else, including the Jews are going to Hell.
  24. Dude went to St. Mark's what do you expect.
