    I am on board with all of this but am pretty uncomfortable with the allegation he had unprotected sex with her while knowing he had chlamydia.

    That's pretty ***** up.

    Playing Devil's Advocate here, there's a timeline to include here. What if he didn't know he had an STI and learned about it in the 11 days between the alleged sex and the phone conversation saying the female should get tested?

     

    Because 11 days is how long between the event and the police led phone call.

    OK, mistake of age could possibly keep Araiza from being charged or convicted. California is a state that recognizes mistake of age. 
     

    https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/blog/mistake-of-age-defense/

    That's an interesting angle that covers the stat Rape charge, and likely where the Bills and other lawyers are landing. Because, from your link,

     

    Contrary to the law in some states, mistake of age is not an affirmative defense in California.[8] This means that the defendant does not have the burden of proving their mistake of age defense. Instead, the prosecutor has to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant did not reasonably and actually mistaken the alleged victim’s age

    The accusation in the law suit is that Araiza dropped a girl off to a gang rape.  So I guess I agree with you. I hope I never make that mistake….The world is full of whoopsies.

     

    This isn't the only time I've read this misinterpreted in this thread 

     

    The civil suit specifically accuses Ariza of bringing her AND participating in the gang rape. In addition to two others by name, there are 20 other unknowns that are included in this civil lawsuit. (I'm not a lawyer, but I am guessing that's legalese for covering all of the bases).

     

    There's a lot to unpack here no doubt.

  4. If he wasn't on the positive side of the 4 weeks, as the coaches and trainers see it, why would they be wasting roster spots on him during the cutdown time? There is some serious depth here that they could have taken an extra week on. For instance they could have kept Ford for this week's game if they thought he was going to be a cut or trade.

     

    I think this is actually positive news.

    Oh good Lord !

     

    This ruling wouldn't stop surgery for a miscarriage.

     

    Stop making ***** up.

     

     

     

    Do you actually believe that wholeheartedly? Do you not think that there's someone crazy enough to bring that argument to court? The petitioner will say that the body has natural mechanisms to remove a dead fetus, and having an abortion to remove it is a slippery slope to pro choice. (Think guns, don't give an inch)

    I'm saying there's no demonstrable evidence that racism is the sole cause of black poverty.  Its a belief.  A false belief.  There are other factors.  And ignoring these other factors inhibits addressing the problem.

    Ok, then say that. Don't go out of your way to say that, numerically, more whites are poor than blacks. That's purposefully misleading.

    i once read a fascinating study looking at socioeconomic status from generation to generation which statistically proved by far the number 1 indicator of poverty and crime was two parent households vs not. AND when normalized for single parent household rate race wasn’t a factor at all. 
     

    another study in the same bent, showed that Nigerians or near descendants with intact Nigerian cultural values (strong family and education) in the US had higher per household income that almost any other demographic.
     

    The narrative peddlers won’t touch this  … they can’t. 

    They can and you can too. You can research the institutionalized racism that has propagated American systems and it's impact on minorites.  We can talk about 'redlining,' Plessy v Ferguson, the Greenwood District in Tulsa, OK, or really any other laws legislated by white males for their some benefit (don't be so naive to believe that laws aren't written to benefit the legislators or their coffers).

     

    It is my opinion that there has been an assault on minority family structure. The war on drugs, again in my opinion, was a thinly veiled assault on minorites because it hurt white people. Just like the opioid epidemic wasn't a big deal until it started hitting white families. 

     

    These are my opinions, and others can disagree.

    If racism is the determining factor of black poverty then why aren't all white people rich?  And absent your ability to articulate that why are there numerically more poor white people than poor black people?  You're missing something.  Want to know what that is?

     

     

     

     

    Come on man, you can't bait with that. When there is a ~5:1 ratio of whites: blacks, numerically there should be more poor white people, unless the poverty rate is 5x that of whites: then they'd be even.

     

    So, that point you are making is that maximally, blacks can be at a poverty rate 4.9x higher than whites.

     

    Also your first question is that wealth is concentrated to relatively few.

    Was that where he said he had s hard time cutting or something like that? Maybe post draft presser?

    It was the Michael Silver article.

    brandon beane's lasting formula to build a champion in buffalo

    Quote

    Though Beane believes that running back Zack Moss, a 2020 third-round selection, will rebound from a disappointing 2021 season to challenge current starter (and 2019 third-rounder) Devin Singletary, the Bills could clearly use some more juice at the position. Had the Bills not landed Elam and stuck with the 25th selection, Iowa State running back Breece Hall would have been under consideration.

  9. So quoting the article:

    1.3% of all pregnancies in the US end in abortions.

    And

    Places where access to contraceptives and education on such have lower rates of abortions and unplanned pregnancy. 

     

    So let's do some simple math (62 and 78% reductions, taken from that article)

     

    A 78% reduction [0.013×0.22=0.00286] or 0.28% of US pregnancies or easier to read: 2.86/1000 pregnancies.

     

    A 62% reduction [0.013x0.38=0.00494] or 0.49%; 4.94/1000

     

    But let's even be conservative and say a 31% reduction [0.013x0.69=0.00897] or 0.89%: 8.97/1000

     

    So we can take abortion from the current average of around 47k or year (off of 2020 us birth number of 3,613,647) down to 32k (the conservative 31% reduction) by changing our countries view on how to prevent pregnancy.

     

    Instead we would like to bring our country more in line with Central America denying access to abortion, contraceptives, and education to bring our numbers up to 3.4% of 1000 pregnancies or ~122.8k abortions.

     

    And this hasn't even factored in those complications that occur when women who don't want to have a baby try their hardest to prevent it, causing long-term harm too themselves, or even worse, the baby when born!

     

    But I digress, I was attempting to inject a small amount of humor in a humorless topic.

    Whether or not abortion is legal, roughly the same amount of abortions will occur. 

    So which of the following are you alluding to?

    Not that many abortions happen per year

    Or

    Back alley abortions will rise up again

    Or 

    Doctors will do it despite the laws

    Or

    States where they make access mostly impossible, without fully crossing the line, already have fewer abortions so this is a liberal states issue only

    Will this the affect the $70,000 average cost of adoption?

    Well... Supply and demand would insinuate yes that should go down, but in our version of capitalism, three big companies will find a way to keep that cost at 70k.

     

    Seriously, this decision will deepen the divide between Conservatives and Liberals. Just what this country needs more extremism... Ffs

  12. Just now, No_Matter_What said:

    Haack is gone for sure.

     

    Epenesa stays (95%), Ford stays (90%).

     

    Moss is a tough one. We are not keeping all four RB. I can imagine a world when we decide to keep Duke Johnson. 

     

    Gilliam, Matakevich and Taiwan Jones might be gone.

    BBB believes in Moss, see article just posted about beans and the draft. I think Johnson is gone.

    I was at the Bandits championship game at the Aud in 1993 when they won it at home (their 2nd championship in a row). I remember when Kilgour scored the game winning goal for Buffalo. The Aud went absolutely crazy! The whole building was shaking. I remember the whole ride home we were cheering and yelling and beeping our horn and anyone we saw 😂

     

    I was also there when the Buffalo Stampede (roller hockey) won the championship in their first (and only) season.

     

    I was there for the Bandits 1996 championship win too.

     

    I have been lucky enough to see all 3 Bandits championships won at home (93,96,08). I was a young'n for the 93 win up in the oranges in the corner, same seats but much more aware of the situation. I was randomly asked if I wanted to go to the 08 championship game. 3 rows up from the field! Such a great experience and I can find myself in the official championship photo!

     

    Other than that Bills and Sabres fan, and we all know that story.
