  1. Working up emotion can definitely be a double edge sword but I get what you mean.
  2. Tibs McVeigh used fertilizer to kill well over a hundred people, should they be liable? In the past 5 years dozens of people have intentionally driven over others with their cars, should they be liable? In England many people are stabbed with knives, should the knife maker be liable?
  3. I am honestly worried that this prosecutor is going to mess this up. He has spent 3 days setting the scene with witnesses but has shown us nothing new. I was never a lawyer but it seems they could have shown the video for all the facts we need and then turned it over to the defense. I don't understand what the store clerk or all the bystanders has to do with chauvins actions, they already wish they had done things differently. I am worried that the prosecutor will spend too much time winding up the emotion and then not enough on how he broke the law.
  4. Actually if he was an intelligent person he would considered a racist. Black women use abortion at a rate that dwarfs white women therefore if I said this I would be racist.
  5. Remote is not the same thing as being open.
  6. Baptists against the vaccine, huh? I am sure there is a portion but in FL we have a ton of Baptist and they are getting the shot as much as anyone. I googled " baptist against vaccine" and I found one article that was entirely anecdotal about baptists but found one discussing Catholics and how we are against the vaccine, which is news to me since no one in my parish has said that. As for Mormons https://religionnews.com/2021/01/20/top-mormon-leaders-get-covid-vaccine-and-urge-church-members-to-do-the-same-will-they/ I think you need to check your sources. Lastly you said I believe in Area 51, which exists. I though don't see how to came to the conclusion that I believe in aliens? I never mentioned them, you simply had to slander me so you had a chance to be right on something.
  7. The NYT believes in the deep state, Black people are the most anti vaccine, and Area 51 is a real place that does top secret stuff. Your choice of topics to bash me with shows how myopic you are. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/why-black-americans-are-less-likely-covid-vaccine-1570521%3famp=1 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2020/12/02/opinion/trump-fauci-deep-state.amp.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_51 As for the rest of your diatribe, my children have no idea whether I have a gun and most likely will never need to find out. My town has never had a drive by in the past 20 years minimum, and it is unlikely to happen. If criminals know they are likely to die for trying to commit crimes in my neighborhood they don't come this way. The guns in my neighborhood keep us all safe are not a threat to anyone unless they have I'll intent.
  8. We are one of the most conservative countries on the planet and we allow you to move out whenever you want, why don't you move to a country that fits you better? I would except no one is more personal freedom then the US. It is why I left NY for FL.
  9. I see lots of accusations but have the police stated they have received any info? When the cops officially say they have materials to look through I will be more inclined to believe the women. Though I will state at this point it will not take much for me to believe them, especially if more than one can show him apologizing about what happened through IG.
  10. This a thousand times- I am in Florida and have been face to face since August and will state as a fact that if the teachers follow proper protocols that there is basically a zero percent chance of catching Covid. No one in my school has caught it at school, and the few kids who caught it from family since they were masked up before recognition they were not a threat to others. It does take some deliberate planning about classroom set up but space everyone out as best as possible and make sure as a teacher you are vigilant for masks and kids moving about. One other point I will make is that in Orange County the schools with rich parents have the most kids back while the title one schools have the least. The gap this year between the haves and have nots is growing greatly and much has to do with parents.
  11. Comparing the NBA salary cap to the NFL is not correct here. In 1998 Jordan as an individual($33 million) made more than the team cap($27), in the NBA teams have always been able to do things to keep players that the NFL would never allow. So the only proper comparison is other NFL players.
  12. I don't have one single game but I had a job where I traveled around the country and spent many sunday's on the road from 2006-2013. I never missed a game and often had to move appt around and when I was on west coast I would usually start at 6am and get 8 hours of work by 10 am to watch Bills.
  13. They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Franklin quote from 1759. Please stop mentioning men who think you are stupid.
  14. Only having the constitution is like arguing who was the best player in college when LJ won the Heisman and "only" having his insane stats. Your entire argument is predicated on the constitution being wrong and intentionally being naive of the reasons for the 2nd amendment. The guns are meant as a last line of defense against invaders, as well as self defense, as well as hunting
  15. In Washington DC government employees who were working from home were first in line to get the vaccine. My family member who works from home for the state dept and is 39 years old got the vaccine in January while his father, who is 70 with cancer, had to wait till March to get it in NYS. Govt will always look out for their own.
  16. Gary Billstime is not a teacher but is just your basic internet troll. He when challenged with facts and logic will respond by calling you tough guy or stupid. Don't respond to him he is not worth it.
  17. I appreciate your viewpoint generally and I doubt I will ever block you because even when you are being vindictive you still at least are trying to prove a point. I will add on point about the low end teachers who don't care- they seem to be the ones who get in front of TV camera to tell everyone what we are owed making it seem that they represent most teachers when I don't think they do.
  18. Dude come off it " in the trenches", teaching is a high effort job but this kind of crap is why teachers are called whiners. You think other jobs don't have micro managers, or things happening beyond their control? I agree the hours outside the classroom are not reimbursed properly but that will happen as long as crap teachers get paid similar to great teachers.
  19. Why do we require ID for anything? To ensure the person is who they claim to be. We have a right to get married, we still have to show proof of who we are before we are allowed. Now answer the question of why you think minorities are incapable of getting said ID when most already have ID to buy alcohol, plane tickets, get married, or go into any schools in my county.
  20. Why do you think minorities are unable to get an ID to vote? My grandmother at 85 was able to get her ID when she moved to Florida, are you saying the average black man is less capable than an elderly white women?
  21. Teaching is very different than other jobs so it is hard to compare directly since to be good at teaching you have to be emotionally invested. I was good at several jobs in the finance sector because I did not get emotional, it was money flowing and nothing else mattered.
  22. The constitution was built on the basis of overthrowing a government and guns were the most advanced weapons on the planet at the time. I am curious if you lose sleep over the fact that allowing people to travel 80km an hour causes 10k more deaths than a permanent 30km an hour. If not why would someone having a freedom bother me if people having freedom does not bother you? I have two people I was friends with die separately because of cars plowing into their cars. My friends were not at fault but the other people were, no one demanded cars being removed, we charged the people.
  23. Discrimination is wrong, right? Isn’t that the point.
  24. So what are the majority of AR15 used for then? If not self defense and hunting then what are they used for by the 99.9999%? I personally know several people who have used AR15 style guns to hunt smaller animals, I will admit I do not know anyone who has used one in self defense but I know they will if needed. You insinuated I am ignorant, please tell me how
  25. You mean that we should make the same racist mistakes now that we used to make? Yes the economy would have been better had racism not been prevalent before
