  1. Damn Yankees were an American rock supergroup formed in New York City, in 1989. Consisting of singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw of Styx, singer/bassist Jack Blades of Night Ranger, guitarist Ted Nugent of the Amboy Dukes, and drummer Michael Cartellone.
  2. That was a great performance from start to finish. I thought the Sabres outplayed the Canes by a healthy margin but failed to capitalize on too many chances. UPL played another great game. Glad to hear the fans getting into it and deservedly so. I will do my best to enjoy the rest of the run. Hope they can at least make it interesting.
  3. Can the Sabres do the impossible tonight?
  4. There is this thing called the internet which hosts countless venues that facilitate discussion on all manner of intelligent, risky, stupid, and downright reprehensible ideas and content. People world wide are connected in a way that would be unfathomable to 1970s man. No matter how wild your views may be there are online communities of likeminded individuals. The internet and cheap technology has also given everybody with an ounce of talent and ambition a platform to self-record and share their music, comedy, or with the world. There are a number of popular musicians and comedians who got their start by self recording and releasing their material on YouTube and TikTok. That would have been utterly impossible in the golden age of Studio rock.
  5. There is no such option. The options were keep him on the active roster or cut him.
  6. Amen b0rther!1! The Chiefs are a bacon of hope in a sea of cowardess.
  7. If the Chiefs bring in Beasley then they may as well rebrand as the KC Heroes because this guy is switching allegiances. Its going to be expensive replacing all my Bills gear with Heroes apparel but it will be worth it.
  8. In all the Benson excitement, Ryan Johnson's play has not gotten a lot of talk. Hes been great since game 1. I am very impressed with his game.
  9. Tucker would LOVE Turkmenistan. Talk about a place that got it right. Down with democracy! Up with petrostate kleptocracy!!
  10. Groceries are pretty cheap in the Congo. Kinda makes you lose all faith in everything. Anyway.....get your commemorative coins! $49.99 per coin which is sure to be a collector's item. Only 45 were ever minted! Call now and get 50 coins for just $17.76 per coin a savings of over $40 per coin!! Get them while supplies last!
  11. They have not won 3 in a row all season. Its actually quite a feat. They are 4-17 after a win. They have had only 4 opportunities to win 3 in a row.
  12. When you brought in wealth and argued the same trends are visible in the UK and Canada it ceased to be a "cultural" argument limited to American inner cities. Unless of course, you don't know what culture is, which is highly possible.
  13. We've got certain information, all right? Certain things have come to light. And, you know, has it ever occurred to you that, instead of criticizing us, given the nature of all this new info, you know, just sayin this could be a lot more complex. I mean, it might not be just such a simple thing here, you get what I'm saying?
  14. If we aren't playing in the super bowl by March then I'm so F@#$ing done with this team.
  15. My scouting report on him is: Strong coverage instincts Can get too handsy at times Not enough sand in the pants. Hips are not fluid enough to dance to fast songs Not a natural brunette VERY pee shy, does not translate to an NFL locker room Day 3 pick on Jauronimo's Big Board
  16. Canada and England have issues with Americans committing violent crimes?
  17. Very few teams who lose in the divisional round go on to win the super bowl. By my estimation less than 5 teams have accomplished such a feat.
  18. The media loves stories of white people committing crimes allegedly motivated by hate. No argument here. I think these stories get more run than they should and sometimes like George Zimmerman, they jump wildly to bogus conclusions. Much of the coverage is irresponsible. I do not think the answer is to do something similarly hasty and irresponsible for people of all races. I agree that I seldom if ever see the hate crime angle discussed when the races are reversed. Seems like the media in this case may not be jumping to wild conclusions to drive narrative which is responsible I would think. Maybe even commendable. Perhaps because the accused are minors and get different protection in media coverage. I watch enough news to see plenty of coverage of black Americans. Outside of the hate crime coverage, I don't see black men getting a pass in the media and there are volumes of research which support that point.
  19. It appears things have changed since 1994 as based on the actual study I provided. I didn't see any statistics in that abstract or any access to the actual article or underlying research. I am not familiar with The Public Interest, is it still in circulation? But if the findings from The Public Interest circa 1994 carry more weight with you than the United States Sentencing Commission, then cheers.
  20. Every one of the studies I have seen explicitly considers and adjusts for prior offenses. This is a convenient explanation but it doesn't hold water. https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/research-publications/2017/20171114_Demographics.pdf You will want to refer to the section about Prior Violence as a consideration and the 20% observed disparity in length of sentence. I am well aware of the crime statistics in this country. Are you offering a defense of stereotyping in the coverage of individual events? I don't know what this even means. Did it. Done it. Do you intend to make a point based on said statistics?
  21. At least you have the guts to say it. I would encourage you to do a modicum of research about prevailing stereotypes in the depiction of black people in the news and media, a topic which has decades worth of research for your consideration. Or you can take a look at sentencing disparities between blacks and whites. If you're still convinced that the white man can't get a fair shake in America then we can agree to disagree.
  22. Then be brave and go on record with the reason. You too @Bob Jones I can't wait to hear about how the media in this country is afraid to paint black men in a negative light.
  23. Because there has been an increasing sensitivity to not showing, or glorifying the cowards who perpetrate these horrific acts. The media finally learned their lesson after the wildly irresponsible coverage of Columbine and VA Tech. Coverage now focuses on the victims instead of the losers.
