For me, it's probably going to take the season to believe that I want him to be the QB long term, because my issue with him has always been about consistency. He's made heroic plays goign back to college (And I'm sure he had some in high school) He flashed big potential as early as the Vikes game, and took it a step further owning the Cowboys, but it wasn't until this season that he's put it all together. It's easy to say this is who you always thought he'd be, but if he sustains his current level of performance, the growth he will have achieved over one season and from college to pro will have been unprecedented save for perhaps Montana and Brees (though it took him even longer). For me the mark of a long term solution at QB is, If your QB gets the ball with a minute or so left in their own end, do you expect them to win? I now do with Allen, and that's the first time that's been true since Kelly, as much as I loved Bledsoe or was optimistic about Edwards. As long as he can prove this isn't a fluke, I'm all in. If this works out, I'll have never been happier to be wrong.

Classic backpedal trying to retroactively explain your behavior through symantics that don't exist. Is "pedophile law" a specialty? This is such a weak argument you're casting here. There is no such thing as a Burglar Lawyer, Rapist Lawyer, Murder Lawyer, Assault Lawyer. It goes to show that neither of you, when proven 100% in the wrong, can ever concede the smallest of points. You know you're completely wrong.

I assure you that no one of "the left" let alone "the radical left" is trying to "scare" anyone into voting for Joe Biden. Policy wise, he's significantly right of center. If elected, he would likely be the most right leaning democratic president in 100 years or more. If you honestly think he's left at all, you may want to look at your internal reference for what that means.

You shouldn't. He's a terrible candidate. That said, you shouldn't vote for Trump either. To normalize selecting the "least worst" candidate is to condone the process by which the parties are able to present two completely unfit dementia patients as the only two choices for our nation's leadership. As an independent who often aligns with Dems because of a lack of a leftist party, I don't see why you would ever be interested in being a democrat. Your posts seem to be far more aligned with what's going on over in the Republican camp.

A real Sir Thomas More he is

One? This thread is a great place to start:

Every time someone from the alt-right calls another person hateful with a straight face, they should immediately win an academy award. Here's yours ol' sport:

I've long thought that GMs overvalue draft picks. The bust rate is so high, that cap permitting, I would much rather have the sure thing than the prospect. Of course, in order to sustain success, you need some elite players on cheap deals too.

Texas Police Officer Fired After Sharing 'Stop Resisting' Meme That Featured a Black Man Lying in a Coffin/ This kind of behavior is endemic to the types of people the police force is composed of. This is from an 18 year veteran. How many thousands of people were wronged by this man? https://www.theroot.com/texas-police-officer-fired-after-sharing-stop-resisting-1845279226

Because echo chambers don't tend to eat their own. The behavior of this group is not normal, even if the historical participants here have normalized it. Now that there is a tiny bit of political diversity in the group, that's all becoming very, very clear.

You and I are done on this topic until you make even the smallest effort to meet me halfway. I'm not going to continue to provide you with further explanations until you make an attempt to internalize the explanations I've already given you. It's not at all worth my time. There are others who benefit from this information even if you do not.

That was a single example. I have more. Before we get on to that though, are you suggesting immigrants are the cause of police killing 166x as many people per year as England? And yes, a part of my profession is analytics.

I'm not going to debate the finer points of the finance industry with you here. You've already proven you can't handle a simple concept with ~25 pages of supporting evidence. What on earth makes you feel prepared to take on a completely unrelated subject and then try to correlate it with what we're talking about here? For the record, my personal interactions with police have been extremely typical. A small handful of traffic related incidents, a theft (reported by me), a hit and run in a parking lot (reported by me) and as a potential witness to some crimes in my vicinity.

Unlike you, I don't play a tough guy on the internet. Just because I'm not swayed by your fact-less assertions, does not mean my thoughts are set in stone. I routinely update my opinions when there is reasonable justification for it. None of that has occurred in this thread, or frankly on this entire board. If you can't bully your way into a victory, you have absolutely no idea what to do next.

Quality content. Are you one of them?

I spelled it out for you as simply as I can. At this point you're either just trolling or you really can't process the most basic forms of logic. I 100% do not mean that as an insult, but you seem to think that a person joining a gang does not make them a gang member. I never said all police are "bad". I said all police are terrorists, because they've joined a terrorist organization and they work to further the goals of that organization. I consider it to be accurate base don the information I've put forth, because you've been completely unable to counter any part of it. I'm sure there have been some mostly nice people who've done a lot of nice things in every group that meets the definition of a terrorist organization.

About what I expected from you.

In an average year, American police kill 1000 people per year. In an average year, England & wales kills 3. In order for England to kill as many people as the United States per year at that rate, they would need to have a population of 8.3 BILLION.

I have facts and data. You have feelings. It's funny how you guys can make statements about liberals, communists, antifa, or leftists in general with 0 facts or data points, but when someone comes armed to the teeth with sound sources, data, and investigative journalism of the corruption and brutality of our police force, you get all sad about a nice cop you met once. All this from the "F*** your feelings" crowd. You get no sympathy from me. I think all cops are terrorists and I back it up. If you're a cop, maybe consider a line of work where you help people instead of hurt them. If you're not, go white knight for somebody else. They're big boys.

Around here it is.

What's the number? I've posted examples of entire units of police assaulting people. I've posted examples of police chiefs directing unscrupulous behavior. How many dead apple trees would you need to see in your yard before you concluded there was a problem with the orchard? In the case of police, they've killed ~20,000 people since 9/11.All other terrorists combined killed 190 americans through 2016 Is there a difficulty in understanding what an "organizational problem" is here? You guys must not be Bills fans.

Correct. They are all guilty of the accusations I outlined I know exactly what financial services are. I never said they were exclusively banks. I said that Banks are white collar criminal organizations. JP Morgan Chase, BoA, and Wells Fargo are white collar criminal organizations. Aloha POS or a credit union is not. No.

Not necessarily. As I explained in our earlier conversations, the primary things that make the police an organizational problem of which every member is culpable, and not a case of "a few bad apples" are: 1. They routinely back the play of fellow employees who do wrong or the stand by and let it happen 2. They are trained and encouraged to create situations where they are likely/legally protected to do wrong 3. The lowest level employees are usually the ones that commit the initial crimes and are protected by each level of seniority up the chain. (much like the mafia). 4. These situations are present at every single major police force in the country which precludes the idea that they are isolated incidents and the majority of the workforce is directly involved in the unscrupulous activity. 5. They are civil servants, who put food on their table with the money of the people they hurt directly Flipping over to Banks (most companies termed "financial services" are really just software companies or vendors) 1. Low-level bank employees do not have a culture of standing by their fellow employees as they do wrong 2. Training from financial institutions is designed around being exceedingly conservative with interpretation of right and wrong 3. It's executives, not low level employees that are usually the primary ringleaders in the crimes 4. like police forces, every major bank has faced significant scandal to the point where you know that organizationally, banks are criminal, but the majority of the workforce is far removed from the unscrupulous activity 5. They are private employees, who put food on their table with the money of their employer who gains it from hurting people. The police are dependent on people they do bad things to. People that work at banks are dependent on people who do bad things to others (and them).

Yes, though Banks more specifically.

No one does. They like that song.
