  1. Peterman is bot looking good on his feet.....he's gonna be limping for a while
  2. Forward progress was stopped. That's why no challenge allowed.
  3. Now the play after a defenseless receiver if when you make the call.... What a league
  4. You must be watching CNN again. ? Cedar Fair, the owner of Cedar Point, owns the park. Canada's Wonderland also outranks Cedar Point in attendance.
  5. I understand where you're going here, but also take a look at who owns the park ?
  6. The same can be said of capitalism too, pure and evil. Only those who have money win. That's why we need to meet in the middle, and Democratic socialism, as you say doesn't exist, is socialism's differ of moving to the middle.
  7. Foxx, this is the best representation of the political spectrum we live in. I understand that, but many do not. It's why I will talk about the ideologies and not which party I belong to.
  8. You know that Democratic socialism is different from socialism. But why not make the real arguement? Because it kills your point that it's not okay with our constitution. I fully disagree that the Democratic socialist agenda is a loser overall. Hell we employ a ton of the ideals already but will not acknowledge that we benefit from them. (Roads, Police, Schools, etc.). This is the same arguement that had been made in the past, and we certainly aren't going to fix it in a forum. The initial 7 tweets used to justify the movement in this thread all DIRECTLY point to the Democratic party, not liberalism. Just because the founder is saying that HE is leaving for a different reason does not translate down to the masses who are leaving the PARTY.
  9. Come on Joe. You and I both will agree that the people who have jumped on board most likely don't know the difference.
  10. How is this a problem? Just because some people won some primaries? And "she represents the future of our party" Without further context of that statement we don't know if it was an age, a politics or a lack of money statement.
  11. Levi, I challenge you to justify this average person statement. Just like I won't be able to justify that the average person is more liberal than you believe, you won't justify your belief that an average person is conservative. It is a matter of viewpoint at this juncture. If the large mass you speak of are privileged people of any color, I can understand that. It's just that those people are the majority anymore. It's not people that have made this country more difficult to have a decent life in. It's politics and the two party system forcing you into making a choice. Until this is seen we will never move forward. Hey I agree with many of your statements but I still believe that Democrats have stayed closer to the center than is believed. Imagine looking at the political ideologies on a line, with the center directly in the middle of the screen. Place the Dems at the extreme left and Repubs extreme right. Now move the Repubs right on that line what happens? The center moves left, even though it doesn't move at all. I think this is what has happened with the identity of center. It seems further to the left when you move right. Not in the initial story. That is the basis of this. It consistently mixed liberal with Democrat, they are not one in the same.
  12. I read the initial article which continuously mixed left and Democratic party as if they were the exact same thing. Claiming that the party is one of hate and segregation is different than claiming the ideology is that way. The ideas that the initial article point to conflict at great length with the basis of progressivism or *gasp* socialism. The party on the other hand is still closer to center, so it is unsurprising that the ideals of a person who supports a platform left of center would not want to be a part of it. These are my observations. Hey we all view things differently. As to the other recent events, I don't have cable, not do I watch the American news. Will I take some of the journalism that has been put out there with a grain of salt, yes, yes I will. (We could possibly even say that if it's trumpeted on this forum, it comes from a conservative news source). In that part of this I am deficient, but my understanding is that #walkaway is about the party. I must state again, the party does NOT encapsulate all the views of the left. I find myself telling people this a lot. Just like the Republicans do not encapsulate all of the views of the right.
  13. As much as many of the Right in this forum think that "walking away" was moving from left to right, I believe that the walk away movement is actually moving further left. The Democrats, and Republicans for many years, were mostly centrist parties. This is why the government worked for a while. There would be working together and creating bipartisan bills. The Republicans party had to cater to the extremism of the Tea Party to continue it's existence (I believe), pushing it further Right, while the Democrats did not take the progressive platforms of the Occupy and Bernie movements(see presidential election 2008, presidential primary, Dem chair nominee, etc.). I feel there will be great debate over my thoughts that the Republican Party moved more conservative and Democrats stayed closer to center. Some of you know my political stance, but I'm attempting to not allow that to bias my observations.
  14. I haven't read the thread yet, but since murder has no statute of limitations, charger with the murder of a majority of the people killed, and then hold off 2 years for the others. Then he can get sentenced to death.
  15. What I find most amusing over this is the NFL coverage of the games, except on Veteran's Day weekend, the anthems are NOT shown. That said, those who choose to work for the NFL must abide by the working conditions set forth in the PRIVATE workplace. The First Amendment rights that some claim these employees have do not in fact exist at a private place of employment. I know that this has been said multiple times in this thread, but that's how it is. Work all that, I still have no issue with what the players choose to do. If they kneel, they kneel. To me I don't find that unpatriotic/disgraceful. That's their choice, and they have to deal with the repercussions. Also, they are subject to the terms and conditions of their employer.
  16. I haven't looked up the stats at the average amount of touchdowns per game for QB, but this video really proved the point that you could only expect 1 a game. Yes there are some where he threw more than one, but it was not consistent. If I interject my opinion into this, I feel this is a reason why many fans are happy to see him go.
  17. I agree the argument goes both ways. That's when you know that the set up is in between the extremes. With that said, I perceive that we are currently moving towards a business extreme, and that the market should correct itself without obvious interference from lawmakers (again, both ways).
  18. Oh come on. That's such a silly argument. Corporate greed is why the funding of private sector pensions have failed. Why is it that executive pay has increased so significantly, while workers true wages have stagnated? All employees should be able to unionize because they are the only things that honestly keeps management in check.
  19. Were some people just screwed out of money? Was the line 5.5?
