  1. True, not familiar with the different identities on the board. I just wanted to make a point the kid had years of debates with probably thousands of people who vehemently disagreed with him who did not resort to violence, including up to the very moment he was assassinated by what so far appears to be a solo actor. The adults still far outnumber the extremes, and my hope is they continue to do so in action and word.
  2. I disagree. The adults were the reported 3000 people in attendance who were engaged in debate. I suspect it did not at any time include "suck my johnson" as a core idea or argument.
  3. Every once in a while I lurk this board to see what the response is to current events. It's a lot of "Dead Dove Do Not Eat" every time, with a few posts that give me some hope. From what I gather about him, I don't like much, if anything he had to say, but it strikes me most of the "THEY" posts on this topic are not mentioning the hundreds if not thousands of "they" people, right and left wing, that have engaged in debate with him. Including at the very time he was killed. Those many people are my hope, not lone lunatic assassins. Just horrifying. RIP kid.
  4. When I attended Ben Franklin Elementary on Parkhurst, one day a classmate and I went to his house one block away (Claremont) at lunchtime. Just a couple 8-9 year olds leaving school by ourselves, going to his house where no one was home. Made a couple fried baloney sandwiches for lunch, and played his dad's new album by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen. Hot. Rod. Lincoln.
  5. I can bring the TBD attendance for this game up to 3. Anyone else?
  6. USAF PACAF HQ building on Hickam AFB has a lot of scars from 12/7/41. You'll feel some feelings standing before it, or at the Arizona memorial.
  7. Some scammers are simply criminals, and some are held against their will and forced to do this work, so my default is to not engage at all. I block/report spam all numbers that are not on my contact list. I understand many are spoofed. Many calls and texts are automated and really only serve to build lists of valid numbers. You can try to reduce the last by turning off your 'read' receipts so they don't identify a valid number. Maybe keeps your number off a few more lists. iphone android
  8. If any of this surprises you, I can't wait till you discover there's probably a dozen guys in every NFL locker room who are flat earthers.
  9. Bills don't punt. This year Bills don't attempt FGs or PATs, they go for it every time. All Bass has to do is kick off a tee, so it won't matter much.
  10. I can't believe they picked Travis Clayton at 221. Had him at 230 on my board. Reach.
  11. To paraphrase Bette Davis, “You should never say anything bad about the dead, only good. OJ Simpson is dead. Good. “
  12. Attention ***** wants attention. Is it over yet? Whatever.
  13. I wonder how much he can help the rest of the defense with identifying 'tells' and diagnosing plays. I'll never forget him traveling 15hrs one way by van to play in a game because injuries wouldn't allow him to travel by plane. That's borderline Ronnie Lott territory.
  14. This thread has actually been very informative. Perhaps not the way intended.

  16. My condolences to your family. Long term, please consider family/individual counseling to help navigate this, especially for children, but for you, too. I raised two kids myself from ages 7 and 11. I did the best I could, but there are things I couldn't 'see' that they needed more help than what I could provide alone. They are adults now, and are both doing well, but they went through some hard times that could have been better with some professional assistance.
  17. I was grocery shopping before the KC game, guy walking the opposite direction wearing his KC team jacket/hat pointed to my Bills jacket with an 'uh-oh', which made me laugh and I fist-bumped him and said 'good luck'. He then chased me down to ask why are Buffalo fans always so nice, and fans from other teams are so awful. I gave what we used to call the "PACAF salute" (palms up shrug), and said 'Yeah, but why?'. I'm just a fan here to get the grouper on sale, man.
  18. I thought trading up to draft Sammy Watkins was a fire-able offense for the GM, and I would have done it immediately. I thought the 13 seconds game was a fire-able offense for the coaching staff. Again, I would've done it immediately. I think the end of season win streak is the HC's finest work to date, and part of me just doesn't care. I often wonder if these views are because I'm a cranky old man, and I have no patience any more. I'm tired, boss.
  19. How many times have NFL games been postponed or canceled due to bad weather? https://en.as.com/nfl/how-many-times-have-nfl-games-been-postponed-or-canceled-due-to-bad-weather-n/
  20. I've decided I'm not rewarding this behavior by buying another service. I'm either pirating it live, or more likely, enjoying my day doing other things knowing the NFL network will replay this game within the week and I can watch it on services for which I am already paying a ridiculous amount of money.
  21. Should have spoken up at the SNL writer's meeting, because this is a better joke than what aired. "In related news, TSA announced the entire Buffalo Bills organization has been added to the no-fly list"

  23. I don't have as deep a knowledge of football as many posters, but since the 13 seconds game, I don't have very much faith in the coaching staff's ability to take this team to a SB win. This HC showed he can get a team running well, but gameday management, oof. Not everyone can get a team running well, so I accepted that they hoped this would improve with experience, as it sometimes does. With this in mind, taking on more responsibility as DC was the absolute wrong move to make. That effort should have been to focus on the HC tasking that you have not mastered. As they say, 'do your job'. Hard to improve (if it is possible) when you have two jobs. Sean may get there someday, but not in this configuration. It's making him a worse HC.
