  1. Yeah it’ll be a lot more successful discussion here.
  2. I have yet to read anyone on this thread claim this is a big deal despite the need some have to vociferously argue that this is not a big deal.
  3. Some revisionism to the myth is needed-I’ve posted on here before on some thread about how the “revolution” should rightly be linked to slavery as a contributing factor. But just trying to grind your ideological ax leads to silly statements like this: ”Tomlinson says the idea that Santa Anna, the Mexican general against which the Texans are said to have fought courageously, was “evil or dastardly” is plain wrong. He says the general was determined to end slavery in Texas, and had a right to do so. “This was a government defending its rightful territory from invaders who had brought slaves and slavery into a post-colonial nation founded on egalitarian principles,” he said.” Come on.
  4. That’s Chappell Hill.

    Cheers,

    Your obedient servant
  6. The problem with calling Mexico a failed state is that implies it was stable at some point. But has that ever really been the case since independence? Maybe for about a quarter century or so post WW2, but otherwise it’s been one period of instability after another. “Things not going well in Mexico” could have been a thread at just about any time.
  7. In the good old days you could just declare the whole family attainted, strip their property, offices, even execute them.
  8. Precisely the point. There’s no winners in this, including you.
  9. Invoking Nuremberg as a deterrent and then proposing mass murder as a solution is...interesting.
  10. One is potentially life-threatening. The other calls for a light jacket. Good luck with that.
  11. Eh he’s neither old nor white. Only 1/3.
  12. The reactions are because your posts are nonsensical.
  13. You literally said “Texas is considered to be runner-up (at best) in the Big XII” and he should come help us “get over the hump.” In your judgment we clearly aren’t fine NOW. So you’re peeved that he...shares your assessment?
  14. I’m on board with your point in general...but come on.
  15. You realize how internally contradictory all this is, right? To sum up: I’m mad he’s not coming here because we need him! But we don’t need him!
  16. Beat me to it. Comparing a minor inconvenience to jacking up the price of fuel during a disaster is the epitome of a first world problem.
  17. To be fair, he was told “Go felate yourself in a corner to feel better about your ignorance, snowflake.” Again, #bothsides.
  18. Good Lord...I thought they were all extinct.
  19. Ive eaten this since I was a kid, except with toast. But peanut butter and syrup is a fantastic combo.
  20. 2-3,3-4, A A is nonnegotiable. And I’d rather have a biscuit.
  21. Literally the first response to that post (since deleted by a mod) was neonmoon saying something to the effect that the 6 year old should have been carrying. Multiple posts like that by him on that page alone related to “constitutional carry.” This is a legit #bothsides issue in DT. Partisans have difficulty seeing that.
  22. Maybe terrible as a Bama player. But it’s fantastic if he edits himself into The Sandlot.
  23. If you’re getting negged that much, you probably weren’t legitimately interested in discussion.
  24. You mean you don’t think a third team group of heroes featuring a sentient tree, talking raccoon, and led by Andy Dwyer was predestined to be a smash hit?
