  1. You might get the opportunity to be right or it might be nothing. Be sure it let us know.
  2. He's going to have injury issues. He was hurt at Kentucky his senior year. Very small frame, said to be a fairly physical tackler. I just don't see the durability here. Time will tell.
  3. Sort of like bringing manufacturing back to the US and paying 3x what robots can do
  4. No I have never saw the left use government to reduce the rights of minorities, females, white men, or any other group based on age, sex, or color. None of the examples you gave or your perceived injustices fall into those categories. Cancel culture is not the same thing as telling a women what she must do with her unborn child or redistricting areas and voter law to make it harder for poor and minorities to vote. Limiting gay rights, etc. These things are not the same as calling you a Putin lover. The fact that you don’t see that distinction is, fascinating. But not really.
  5. I was very harsh in that response and I'm sorry about that. I have a lot of good friends who are religious, most my family is, most people I know are. I don't care that they pick that path and never disparage it as it's very personal to them. To answer your question of course it is needed but morality comes from a lot of places. If you require religion to provide it or think that is the only path to it I think that is a mistake (not saying you feel this way). I have met completely immoral people who believe in god or say they do (without showing any indication that is the case). Who use religion to manipulate or pursue self fulfilling agendas (sound like anybody we know?). I see very limited connectivity between somebody who is moral and somebody who says they're religious. Some are, some aren't. I generally accept all of them. Even the immoral ones as who am I to judge how they arrive at such a place. You can only hope they improve as people. All of this aligns more with the left even if I don't fully identify with them. I never saw the left as trying to limit who people were or minimize others. They try and impose the acceptance of people on the fringe of society and the right doesn't want that. Religion often tells them not to or at least the interpretation they have of it does. Which I often think is just a justifiable way to be a bigoted.
  6. Do you think I care what religion is imposing it's views onto people or that Christianity aligns in its bigotry with other religions bigotry? I don't attempt to keep up with what ridiculous concepts people follow as a result of them feeling hopeless, needing morality, needing purpose, or just needing to know what happens when the lights go out. It's all the same level of BS to me regardless of who it is. I care when ANY religion imposes it's views onto society in the form of laws. As we have seen with concepts like abortion. Just as I'm sure you care a great deal when other people impose things onto you that your book says is wrong like homosexuality.
  7. Got it, it's all religion, not just the primary one in the US. Which changes what exactly? And reading this post, its a bit silly to call me "out of touch". Your belief system is from 1000+ years ago.
  8. So with the Marines added is the this strongest domestic response by a president in modern history? I’m sure it has nothing to do with politics 😂
  9. Yup, Benfords concussion history, Tre is made of glass, Max missed games at Kentucky and has the legs of a 16 year old girl. If we have the space I doubt we will be able to add any better talent at this point on a one year deal. The depth would be nice.
  10. I would say this years squad has a pretty long list of potential breakout players. Samuel, Moore, Coleman, Kincaid, Bishop, Groot, AJ, Oliver, Bernard, Benford, Mad Max, Forrest, Hancock, Strong, Sanders, Walker, Jackson. Some rookies and vets on this list, but all could potentially take another step or perhaps even the first step being a big one. Some might even throw Rapp on the list. Sure, none of these could work out as well, but we have a lot of options this year and that’s part of what I’m excited to see.
  11. Not everybody fits in these categories. But they explain a large part of the motivations and anger behind each party.
  12. The political right in the U.S. often aligns with Christian conservative values promoting policies on issues like abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and education that reflect those beliefs. This can feel exclusionary to people of different faiths or none at all, especially when those religious values influence laws. The political left, on the other hand, tends to champion secularism and individual rights, which often conflicts with traditional religious doctrines. For devout believers, progressive policies on issues like gender, sexuality, or end-of-life rights can seem like a violation of their moral framework. Both groups feel values of the other party are being "forced" on them. Both sides often use government power to enforce their vision of morality. Both groups behave the exact same way. They will never like each other. Religion has been causing wars and tension for thousands of years. Go figure it still does so in the US within our political system.
  13. I have become a bit bitter towards the dismissal of Occam's Razor in our society. Nearly everything that occurs is a conspiracy. It's like our entire existence has become one big gas light. People have lied to us and hidden things from us. But that also doesn't make everything more complicated than it needs to be. I asked if you have ever been to LA because I wanted to know your level of familiarity with this part of the country. Southern California has millions of illegals. It is normal for me to be the only white male in large populations here. Just like it is normal for me to see only white people in the Midwest when I go back to where I am from. It is not going to be easy carrying out widescale deportations in this region. These people's roots are much deeper here. They have more family members, more friends, and more resources to oppose this activity as a result. They don't need assistance. You can choose to believe what you outlined. To me just feels off base.
  14. You're correct here, since you don't believe it was spontaneous who do you think is funding or coordinating this? It doesn't seem to help any liberal cause to have this type of situation occur.
  15. So conclusion is either the people rioting can talk with other people they know who also want to participate OR that it's strategically planned and well financed.
  16. Based on what? They started off in a crappy suburb of LA. They were pocketed small groups all over LA county. Have you ever been to LA? You realize how spread out that city is?
  17. half the US population are terrorists and the other half goes to church every Sunday and has baby's on schedule.
  18. haha...I'm against spam. I don't consider selective posts to be spam. I have been mostly democratic in my life time, but the democratic party doesn't really stand for my views. I know I always hated the tea party. Which seems about as related to MAGA as any. But above all things, I know Donald Trump is the least presidential and least qualified president in American history. If he was your boss, every day of your life would be the worst day of your life and that's only up until the point you went out of business. I hope something good can come from this long term. Maybe a 3rd political party, but that seems far fetched.
  19. I think it's going 7, they split in Indiana.
  20. Immigration is a big issue here, not just because of the liberal politics, because the boarder to Mexico, climate, and legal diversity in the region. The Midwest where I spent most life might as well be a different world compared to Southern California. The people out here are certainly used to immigrants. I’m sure some want the boarder closed and some don’t really care. Hell, in the San Diego area you meet a ton of conservatives. But still, you see these people. The boarder is an hour from here. A lot of illegals have legal family members and friends, etc. This is a highly emotional subject. Legal or not we are talking about separating family’s. To think deportations in this region were not going to be met with some degree of resistance is unlikely. Now had this been a conservative state under different terms, do people think Trump would have basically ignored the governors request? It seems a bit unprecedented to do so or not work with local and state authorities when this occurs. Was this truly a situation that could no longer be handled at the local level? I doubt it, a few photos and stories of violence doesn’t make that the case either. It was a chance to exert influence in a liberal stronghold. Hope to embarrass local and state authorities. Meanwhile people are the chess pieces here. Easy to forget when photos of a couple of the ***** bags in the mix lead the headlines.
  21. Yes, I think of you nearly non stop. Which ironically is still short of how much you think of reposting random peoples political vomit on a Buffalo Bills message board. I would admit determining who is more sad would be difficult to say. But only one of the two statements is actually true.
  22. Schedule makers built this in. That's why they do. Fields was known and Rodgers was all but known well before that process ended.
  23. So this is your X or Facebook? Those sites aren't good enough for you? You have to select what things you enjoy and post them here 20-30 times a day even though nobody engages with it? I have this visual of a person with a megaphone yelling headlines over and over everyday, every 20 minutes, while the entire world just keep passing by never having heard any of it. Yet this person just keeps going. You don't find this behavior unusual?
