Or maybe it's the very disingenuous use of the term "banned" that has most people ignoring it or rolling their eyes. The DoD removing material from DoD run schools is not a "ban". It can be overzealous, and downright stupid, but calling it a "ban" especially given the constant undercurrent of Nazi Germany comparisons, is nonsense.

Hitler said the Jews were a cancer that must be removed in 1919. He was pretty clear from the onset. How terrifying it must be to live in some skewed reality where you actually believe Trump is going to round people up and put them in gas chambers.

Saying that male athletes like Lia Thomas don't have an advantage is pure nonsense. The amount may be negligible to you, but to those girls competing it's everything. It's like the unemployment rate. Most people don't care what the rate is. It's either 0% or 100% that matters to people. You're either employed or you're not.

Meh, I'm not super wound up about it, just curious why you seem to have such an issue with something that's common sense. Really, the only part that is annoying to me, is how the girls who stand up for themselves are painted as transphobic. The injury stuff, while sad, is probably overblown for the most part. You could probably find similar examples all across the spectrum where there were no trans people involved.

No one cares that people are trans. You're being purposefully obtuse. Just keep boys out of girls sports. It's not complicated.

I'll bite. Could it possibly mean defending against large scale deception? It's not exactly a stretch.

I mean, have any of you heard of a Federal employee complaining they were unable to retire or delayed for any reason? Me neither. Seems like a non-issue. And re: record retention - they don't ever dispose of this stuff. They should but often don't. It's easier to shove it into storage than actually adhere to the policy.

I mean, I get it. The government uses way too much paper at all levels (from municipalities all the way to D.C.) and yes they rely on antiquated and woefully inefficient processes, but with all that being said this claim doesn't really hold water for me. Iron Mountain is just a repository where these documents go to live and in most cases never seen again. No one is processing retirement paperwork down there, and it's incredibly unlikely that anyone has to go down there to retrieve something in order to effectuate someone's retirement.

Are you literally just discovering Iron Mountain?

Now that they are going to turn their sights on the Pentagon, I wonder if the outrage will come down a bit.

Your implications are pretty clear. You're no different than those posting memes about Nazi's experimenting on Jewish prisoners with lethal injections, comparing that to deporting illegal immigrants that are rife on Facebook these days. It's silly.

Yeah being deported and sent back to your home country= being rounded up in your own country and gassed with zyclon B.

Like I said, not advocating for less, it's more of a knee-jeek reaction like "who the hell could possibly not know this?".

I want to be clear that I'm not opposed to continued awareness. I just take exception to the fact that the commercials always seem to imply that no one has ever heard of it. Like it's something we discovered over the weekend. It's just a bit of an offense to my sensibilities. I'm not advocating for less, just want to be clear about that.

I like boobs and I want to make sure people have access to preventative medicine including cancer screening. But with that being said, is there any one with a television who isn't aware of breast cancer? I don't really take exception to these ads, but I'm moderately offended by the notion that there isn't enough awareness.

Considering all the posts I'm seeing these people put up about concentration camps and how the people are "coming for them" I can see why they are freaking out. I mean it's all complete nonsense, but to the true believers it looks like the sky is falling.

True. I also don't doubt we'd find a way to lose to them in the following year. Funny because the wife and I were just having that discussion the other day about who was the fifth team in the NFC East back in the day. Couldn't for the life of us. Remember it.

My biggest fear this season was facing the Iggles in the SB. It would have given us the chance to do a very "Bills" thing - suffer a defeat in the super bowl to every single NFC East team.

Big Balls is WNY's #1 AC/DC tribute band.

One needn't be liberal to understand how insane this is to even openly suggest.

Nothing wrong with skepticism.

Wrong about what? I never cited any specific instance. One that comes to mind was the Moroccan boondoggle where they spent several million on pottery classes. There were some initial reports that the total amount spent was far greater than that, but that's not the point. Waste is waste. You'll note that I've not said anything about completely dismantling it. But pausing non-critical, Non-Life-Threatening funding seems like a reasonable idea while the organization and its spending is audited. Opposition to that seems a little pig-headed. You seem more worried about being "right" in a forum than you do about how we may be wasting money.

Which specific instance are you referring to? Tons of examples with lots of exaggerated ones too. We can go tit for tat and split hairs over whether someone wasted 40 million or 4, but it doesn't excuse it.

Right, some of us dislike grift, waste, and corruption. You must be the the other guy.
