    I see the state where Trump is most popular has the lowest life expectancy. And since knowledge is the key to longer life, that state is full of uninformed people. California has high life expectancy 

    The largest differences in every state was among racial groups, blacks die earliest, then hispanics, then whites, then asians. The states with the largest black population will be the lowest and ones with high asians will be high. WV is the exception to that rule, which I assume is based in the jobs that they do.

      This article would have been considered satire 10 years ago. The argument that black women think black women are especially fertile is because of white people, though I have never heard that before. It also blames black women getting sterilized on white people. This article basically started with a premise and bent all facts around premise without regard to logic.

    I don’t know... have you ever seen that does not equal sign? It looks awfully oppressive 

    I teach math and that sign has actually caused me grief through the years because students think it is stupid, basically why solve a problem to prove it does not work? Why can't they just say it is wrong? It might be oppressive but still not racist.

    This article is written from a man proud of his ignorance. Windermere is a small police force where they have zero cases of police brutality and a lot of rich athletes like Shaq, Ken Griffey Jr, Vince Carter, Tiger Woods use to live there, literally thousands of rich black people live in Windermere without issue. To compare a NYC cop to Windermere cop is like comparing a NYC democrat with a Texas republican, basically not anything like.

    Math is racist? :wacko:
     

    </snip>
     

    The Mathematical Association of America released a statement Friday claiming both that mathematicians should engage in “uncomfortable conversations” about race, and that policies of from the Trump administration, like the lack of a mask mandate in the United States, are somehow an affront to mathematics. The group concludes with a call for a “pursuit of justice” within math.

    I just saw this- this is flat out telling a lie so the stupid feel better about themselves. Math is not a creation anymore than oxygen is created. Math has been discovered as scientific thought has progressed, literally Calculus was found because it was needed to properly explain what we discovered in physics, therefore Newton and Lebnitz organized the math. Stating math has a racial component states you are too dumb to for conversation

    Would it be fair to say that cops are ever-present because more crime happens there?  Are overbearing cops a reason or justification for committing crimes and/or resisting arrest?  Would less presence decrease those things? 

    In order:

    Almost always yes 

    Never 

    Probably not 

     

    But my bigger point is that these areas with a huge police presence in America is almost exclusively liberal cities and the police force had to be actively created. I don't resent a liberal wanting a police officer on every corner but I also understand what the cop is there to do, and it is not be my friend.

    Like I've been saying, don't commit crimes, and if you get stopped by the police, don't resist arrest.  Odds are high nothing bad will happen to you by the police.

    I will present the flip side of this- what if the police are constantly present in your life? If you do not live in a liberal city it is hard to understand exactly how ever present they are, which means the best answer to overbearing cops is to move.

    This behavior is getting out of control of people attacking asians. This article is written as if Uber does not know who the people are that are attacked him. They need to be charged with a hate crime unless there is evidence he somehow provoked them. I honestly am surprised it was not blamed on Trump since every other article about attacks on Asians by Biden supporter has mentioned hatred created by Trump.

    Did you watch our offense in either game vs KC last year?  If you did, I’m sure you realized that our offense also needs to improve and become less one dimensional. How did our pass catchers do playing against a dime D all game?  They couldn’t get open.  Having the ability to run some 2 TE sets and add a TE that our QB has confidence in would really help in that regard.

    Not sure you read my post fully, I said we need a running back and OL help to get our offense moving fully. In a year when every dollar counts extra I don't think he is an $8 million improvement. KC was able to tee off on us because our RBs scare no one.

    They actually list Mario Addison as worst which I think is dumb but I will admit we overpaid for him by a large amount, apparently 14 million for that one year of average DE play. The good news is we can cut him and get some salary cap room but I see the other contracts and am glad we did not get Beasley or Hooper

    I don't know why you all hate ties so much. How many games go to overtime over the course of a season? 15? 20? Just call them ties and be done with it. In the playoffs I'd insist each team possess the ball once and if it remains tied after that then sudden death. 

    I assume you are a soccer fan with awful take😜. I don't hate ties but would prefer a victor in a close game, in soccer I hate a 1-1 tie where both teams stop attacking for the last 15 minutes to ensure their point and would hate to see football do that.

    the cut or traded bit is sensationalism added by the media outlet reporting it to draw attention

    I agree about the sensationalism- if we can restructure his contract and give him one more year while giving us some leeway financially it is a win win. We don't want to cut him and we will not find a better end for the savings.

    The Cowboys could have had him at $32m per two years ago and blew it. He isn't worth the 2nd highest contract but he is a top 10 Quarterback and he has a lot of leverage because the Cowboys have ballsed this up. 

    I agree he is a top 10 guy and the Cowboys have worked this situation like they think he is not top 10. They can go with the Red Rifle and draft a QB or overpay Dak, neither option is good for cowboys 

  14. The argument that women are physically able to compete with top level men is absurd, the fact that some women can beat some men is only proof of a few exceptions. The 15 year old top male soccer team in the USA played and beat the Womens National Team. We have seen two boys dominate the Massachusetts girls division of track and field and it is best to not allow it to spread. I am supporter of Trans rights except where it comes at a cost to natural born women. As for someone who changed genders look at Laurel Hubbard who changed genders and is now a champ, I can't state I know motivation but neither can you.
