    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.

  2. 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.

  7. 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

  10. 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.

  12. Either FMIA or MMQB had a section on MVP candidates, despite both staying with how great Allen was, and then did not have Allen listed for MVP. I think he should be talked about as a candidate, but this season's MVP pool has been determined. Combined with the pro bowl votes, it's clear the NFL doesn't want him to be a superstar (insert small market cliche here).

    The flag had nothing to do with the Initial Contact. It was 100% what had appeared to be a pull down 4-5 yards out of bounds. Which most times will result in a flag.

     

    I also heard Davis acknowledge that he looked to be trying to help Jones up and that his only questions past that was "Why take the chance and put your hands on him out of bounds like that?". However, in a bang-bang play humans are more imclu ed to try and help people not get hurt...which is what Hughes reacted to. 

     

    It's one of those plays where, yup his intent was good and shouldn't have been flagged....however it would have been understandable had the call went against us.

    I agree with you, or at least it shouldn't have been. My point was that the commentators led the viewers to believe that the flag wasn't for trying to hold Jones up.

    I exactly know what play you are talking about-- It happened with 45 seconds left in the first half- and even if it was a kick--you people that think it is should put on your big boy pants and take off your panties...

    Surprisingly, that wasn't the play! It was first drive just after the Judon trip. Allen (OPI'd😂 what's wrong with me?) RPO'd and when he was down it looked like he was stomped on by#50 or #58. When watching it real time (you know as a fanatic), I thought it was a kick twice. Seeing it again was not what I thought it was. Also the play you referenced was not a kick at all.
