    I am not very knowledgeable on the details of this conflict, but

    about 20 years, equal to Russia's time in this sand box, plus 20 yrs of monetary support to fight against Russia previously, now an untimely exit and it appears the Afgans have the same piece of poop country back that they had 40 yrs ago.

    What was the point? Why did Russia and then the US ( and Canada) spend so many lives and dollars and then quit?

    The Taliban and their religious controls are again free the kill, mutilate, stone and hate. 

    I think this is worse than Vietnam in results.

    What say you.

     

     

    The Taliban had knocked down the twin towers and a response was necessary. I at this point recognize this war was not the proper way or at least run poorly but at that time a response was needed and this was supported by the vast majority of Americans in 2002.

    That's your opinion and not necessarily correct 

     

    There's been tons of studies shown that downtown stadiums do nothing to help an economy... There is no economic benefit to putting a new stadium downtown , besides being the trendy thing 

     

    Gillette stadium is in the suburbs of Boston.. nobody cries that it's not in downtown 

     

    You're there to watch a football game to have the best possible... Orchard Park offers the best experience top to bottom because Buffalo Bills fans tailgate like the sec... No other NFL fan base is like that 

     

    And it's a huge part of the Buffalo Bills game day experience which will disappear if it goes downtown.. and 90% of Buffalonians aren't going to be bar hopping before the game

     

    Bill's tailgating is about tradition family friends food and fun, and you need the space for that... Orchard Park has the space

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    3  points- I never said it was a economic benefit to the city, you had to pretend I said that in order to say I was wrong.

    Many cities larger than Buffalo have downtown Stadiums so it is clearly possible to have one down there, it would just take competent leadership.

    I have never been to Gillette but it's location is the one terrible thing about it I  have heard from many people that the public transport sucks and the one road in and out sucks.

     

    You are correct about the tailgating but I doubt tailgating will away the Pegulas much, but that is an opinion.

    Did Billy Joe Hobert ever play?

    He played and did not know the plays, which was mentioned earlier. I was told by a member of the front office that they cut him before the next practice partially for his own safety- the OL apparently stated out loud they might block so well for him in a game situation. Most likely the Line would have done it's job but even the threat is bad.

    Everyone wants this but it’s way too expensive.  The infrastructure downtown can’t support it

    You are right that the current infrastructure could not handle the stadium downtown but a competent mayor and county could make it work. The lack of competence is why they are keeping the stadium where it is

    Bills might have won 1 or 2 of those Superbowls with Dallas if it wasnt for that trade.

    Agree best trade/stupidest trade ever!

    I watched Jimmy Johnson discussing that trade at some point in the past decade and Jimmy basically stated he lied to the Vikings to get that trade done. He was supposed to keep about 4 of those guys as a cost cutting move for the Vikings and instead cut them to get the draft picks instead. The Vikings were used to dealing with the gentlemen who used to run the Cowboys

    No way lol. He’s not even worth what Allen is or More than Allen. Your crazy if you think he’s going to get more. He had a mediocre season last year and on top of that NFL teams have started to figure him out and he can’t read defenses. Call it unfair but Lamar to me is just a better version of Tyrod Taylor

    I agree with you about talent and ability to win but LJ is an MVP and Baltimore built their entire offense around him. They would need to completely retool the team if they have a different QB.

    Stupid is as stupid does. You'd be surprised what you can get into when your Mommy and Daddy throw some money around...but we already had a lot of court cases about that haven't we?

    Thanks for showing how stupid you are- he is not from a wealthy family and did everything on his own. I guess you are discussing Biden.

    Based on the math let's save money and support freedoms and stop vaccines for rubella, polio, tb, whooping cough mumps etc. The math shows we have few cases and almost no deaths. 

    Math while absolutely necessary in studying most issues, does fail to consider the stupidity of people. With strong pressure for vaccines/masks the math projections would show the result would be substantial. 

     

    The fact that you are comparing childhood illnesses that cripple someone for life to an illness that is not even as bad a flu to those under 25 means you are simply believing your govt. We can disagree on something's but I will always protect children where you seem more concerned about protecting people your age.

    That was my thought. And why are these cards NOT digital? 

    They copied mine from my driver's license I had to show to confirm I was eligible. How else has someone gotten one?

    We can ship/feed/house thousands of military personnel to some god forsaken shitholes of the world but we can get a vaccine to farmer Bob in the boonies of Iowa?  If that's the case this ones on the current resident of the Casa Blanca.  

    The reason it is so difficult is that we are requiring an ID to get the shot. If you don't have an ID you can't get the shot.

    Until the world gets vaccine, the variants will continue to evolve in human test tube. There is the real danger. Blame whoever you wish, CCP, trump, Fauci, Biden, Pelosi, WHO, Pfizer (you have no problem with viagra), Wuhan bats, or Putin.

    So everyones job is to protect humanity.

    1. Either take the vaccine or escape to your home and stay there for 3 years.

    2. If you take vaccine, wear a mask everywhere when you are indoors in public and outdoors in crowds.

    3. If you demand a right that doesn't exist, go fly a kite like founding father Ben and get killed by lighting. Sacrifice yourself. My generation had no right but to join an army for WW2, Korea, or Vietnam and do our duty. Now do yours.

     

     

    You are literally insane if you think not getting vaccinated when you are young and healthy is "killing yourself". The math states that you are more likely to die by murder if you are under 25 in America then die from Covid. A  healthy 25 year old has a one in 50k chance of dying based on the numbers we are seeing. Your hysterics would be funny if not for the fact that so many politicians are using to gain power

    US comes in last in health care rankings of high-income countries

     

    The US once again ranked last in access to health care, equity and outcomes among high-income countries, despite spending a far greater share of its economy on health care, a new report released Wednesday has found.

     

    The nation has landed in the basement in all seven studies the Commonwealth Fund has conducted since 2004. The US is the only one of the 11 countries surveyed not to have universal health insurance coverage.

     

    While the latest data does not reflect the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, it lays out the strengths and weaknesses of each country's health care system when Covid-19 hit the world in early 2020.

     

    "In no other country does income inequality so profoundly limit access to care as it does here," Blumenthal said. "Far too many people cannot afford the care they need and far too many are uninsured, especially compared to other wealthy nations."

     

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/04/health/us-health-care-rankings/index.html

    There is no reason to be uninsured in this country except for laziness. If you are willing to fill out paperwork you can get Medicaid or you can get insurance supplemented by the government. The uninsured are chosing to be uninsured.

    And that helps people trying to get medical care in Louisiana right now, how? 

    You also said "And for giving crap governments and businesses rationale to do more stuff to make my life inconvenient" when we have hit herd immunity. Govt action is not caused by people who are not vaccinated but by overzealous politicians. Also vaccinated people are not getting as sick as unvaccinated which should make the hospital situation better.

  13. This is much more light hearted but this guy often tried to mix sports with politics and always comes off this stupid. The US has always counted total medal and this article pretends we started this method because we were losing the gold medal count. We usually win all three medal counts handily so this year being an odd year is not related to why this is happening.
