  1. Love this quote...

     

    “To me, he was like Tesla or Louis Pasteur or Ray Kurzweil. He might not have been working with circuits or engines or whatnot. He was working with musical notes and guitar strings and bridges and amplifiers.” – Kirk Hammett

  2. EVH has been a massively influential human. Even beyond his guitar playing, I would see how his DIY attitude and experimental approach to his equipment inspired people around me in areas beyond music. Even the paint job on his guitar seeped it's way into graphic/Pop art. 

    An incredible person.

     

     

     

     

  3. I have 100+ on my list. Many from the football forum...I just can't stand questions like "If you could pick one player from the 90's Bills to play on this team, which would it be?" When that other Bills forum went down, there was an influx of people that I didn't feel I needed to read posts from.

     

    It's all about tailoring the board to suit your needs. I see nothing wrong with keeping your feed tight.

    If the main posters all agree to ignore a certain group, that could be a solution.  But interesting thread coming from one of the few people that got themselves suspended for harassing people on ppp....meaning we can all do better

     

     

    Then block him.

    This circle jerk panel discussion is an excellent example on how to spread a story with no justification necessary. 
     

    The story involves allegations that may or may not be true.  There are no serious allegations of wrongdoing, no crimes alleged, just unsavory comments alleged to have been uttered by a presidential candidate two years after they were alleged to have occurred. 
     

    In other words, it’s gossip.  Yet,  about 5 seconds in, the talking head speaks as if the allegations are factual....”I’m curious as to why these people did not want to go on record...“.  When the Atlantico guy uses the expression that you have to “go more belt and suspenders”, the talking head acknowledges it with a “Yeah” and nod of the head,  and later, when Atlantico mentions the difficulty with the “ambiguity and difficulty of anonymous sourcing”....no follow up whatsoever.  The most interesting part for me was the final 30 seconds or so when Atlantico just sort of rambles about it all.  “In this case, I decided that I felt I knew...” and then His odd statement about reporters pursuing the sources to get them to go on record.  
     

    On top of all that, of course, the screen call at the bottom is misleading.
     

    I have decided that I think he’s full of #$@&, that his response weak and tepid. 

     

     

    Some people, even supporters of Trump here, apparently will still listen, and play along each step of the way.

    I cannot wait until the names come out. Put those people in a lie detector and show it on a live stream.

     

     

    Lie detectors aren't that reliable. 

    Why not just disregard obvious bull#### instead of commenting on these threads started by the losers on this board?

    I have some doubt it was said, but this could easily change many votes, including mine. This one seems to have crossed a line.

     

    This is different than hating McCain, who I also hated and was actually happy Trump called him out.

    Yeah.  That totally sounds like him but I always take articles that support anonymous sources with a grain of salt.  It could've been some sarcastic ill informed quip for all we know.  I get it that you don't want 40 something percentage of the population hating you but don't say anything at all if you want to anonymously criticize somebody.  Mattis at least had the guts to criticize him publicly. 

     

     

    Really? 

    "It sounds like him" is good enough for you fools at this point? This story is from 2018, and they just decide to pull it out of their hat.

     

    You haven't seen enough false smearing of Trump by the media to disregard anonymous sources, and hearsay from years ago?

    I don’t think that’s the case at all, which is my point. I bet a LOT of people are unaware of the organization itself and that it is anti-nuclear family as Marcellus Wiley discusses. I’m dead serious. I didn’t know that until I saw his clip. These are tow very different things. One is a belief in what I feel to be an obvious truth (the need for equality), the other is an organization with an agenda and some points I just can’t get behind.

     

    I’m dead serious. I think many people have this all lumped in together in their minds, which is a mistake. Have you read their positions in their mission statement? I haven’t, but if Marcellus is accurate here I’ve got a big problem with BLM.  Nuclear family is critical to the odds for success. I am still fully behind the obvious lower case blm. 

     

    But thanks for the lovely characterization. I was just trying to make what I feel is a fair (and important) distinction, and I’m still not sure if you get my point. Concept vs Organization......two different things. 

     

    Sure. And when someone says "Make America great again" they likely don't mean "Make America Great Again", and aren't referring to the Trump slogan.

     

    And if the NBA paints "Make America great again" on their courts, it would be A-OK, and only insane Leftist's would confuse that uplifting message with supporting Trump.

    Take us to the Hamptons, Augie.

    Well Pete, you are indeed Prickly.   :)

     

    I honestly don’t know the answer to this: has the NFL actually sent any money the the organization that is Black Lives Matter? Or have they just supported the obvious philosophy that black lives matter. These are two very different things. 

     

    I happen to believe that an intact nuclear family improves the likelihood of success for children. Marcellus indicates BLM (the organization) disagrees, so there needs to be a distinction between the obvious and the bogus organization which is collecting money from those unaware of the difference. 

     

     

    .

     

     

    At this point anyone using the term "black lives matter" certainly knows that it refers directly to the organization. There are plenty of other ways to get across the sentiment of black lives mattering than using the the same term. But then,  you already know that, but want to act disingenuous....because you are full of crap..

    Okay, let's say "Until I hear them disavow Black Lives Matter the organization, I won't watch".
     
    Many (most?) of the players certainly donate and openly support BLM. 
     
    ***** em.
     
     
     
     
     
  12. I still don't know a single Democrat that will care in the least if ALL the people implicated in this are guilty, or even if it is proven that they were staging a coup.

     

    They are willing to loot, vandalize and beat the opposition, you think they care if Obama had a database that was weaponized against people they think are deplorable?

     

    No ***** way

    They will think it's justified, and probably be excited that it exists.

     

     

    Sure I want this exposed, but again, unless there is damnable proof of the past administration committing crimes against ALL the people, it won't matter in the least.

    It's not even about what he said for me.  It's his opinion, people can form their own thoughts but this reporter felt the need to castigate him for his thoughts.  In other words, what he is saying is "Submit to my views, if not, shut the hell up!"

     

    The thought police seems to be a main component of the modern day left.

     

     

    This exactly what these people are about, and the main reason I dropped my support for the Left.

     

    Social media is filled with little tests and groupthink challenges to get everyone to conform, or "be exposed".

     

    "Everyone should turn their profile black, in support of the protesters"...if you don't you are clearly a racist POS. Social media is filled with this stuff and kids are particularly pressured by these tactics.

     

    Even the "I Voted" stickers are a mild form of this. It's nobody's business whether I voted or not. It's a shaming tool.

     

    ***** them all.
