If so... you might be a Racist.
Are yoooooou tired of seeing people bring up how White people are born with all kinds of advantages as an American even though your individual life is lonely garbage?
If so... you must be a Racist.
Get right with God, sinners of PPP.

A little hyperbole is not the end of the world. No problem there.
I think he had some very good years, then some semi-average years, and I yelled at the top of my lungs too often for senseless penalties. That’s how I remember it.
If every team got to add a few of their favorite guys, because they were “their guys”, we’d have to add a special wing to the Hall, or a basement or something for the “next best”. Don’t get me wrong, ZERO hate on the guy, but not HOF in my mind. We all have an opinion.....you are welcome to yours.
He wasn't even my favorite guy. I'm just saying... "Should such and such Bill be in the HOF?" Yeah sure, why not? Is he HOF worthy? He's got the hardware and accolades. There aren't many other guards with more decoration. Since guards rarely get any praise at all, why not give some to Ruben?
Just seems like... yeah, sure! Ruben was solid. Go Bills! That's my opinion. Just don't really see a value in arguing against a player who was good for us being potentially recognized, that's all.

Your economic argument is a joke before it even starts because communist systems demand compliance of the governed and CK would never have his rights under that model.....ever. The economic model on its own is also a joke but the system strips people of their humanity before the first widget comes off the assembly line so that is really moot.
It's not that complicated. Do you know the Green Bay Packers ownership situation? It's like that.
Instead of one/a few people profiting from the auto factory, the profits are shared more equitably. It's simple. Just means that resources are shared in a way that is best for the overall community.
Should the government be providing money to citizens given widespread unemployment, etc, due to COVID shutdowns? It certainly HAS the money. Is it fair that Jeff Bezos, etc, have billions and billions to themselves, while Amazon workers are uncertain if they can feed their families?
Capitalism is just exploitation. Slavery was simply the best capitalist form ever existed; it's why it keeps being perpetuated in different forms. Capitalism just wants to spend the lowest amount for the highest profit. That's good for the individual; in an equal system maybe it'd even be fair. Since it's a rigged system, it's not good for anybody on this board.

Please note one poster who says he’s a bum. (Maybe I missed one?) He was good. He was also good for a penalty a game it seemed, false start or hold. He had some VERY good years, then he just seemed good. Pro Bowls are often granted to older guys with good reputations, especially interior guys who are not stat driven.
The question was....is he HOF worthy? Many of us feel he belongs in the Hall of Very Good, but not the HOF. On the Wall? Maybe. In the Hall? Not in my mind, and I’m a guy who’s like to see more Bills in the HOF.
"Bum" is an exaggeration, not a direct quote. Jokes, for comic effect, will exaggerate reality to make a point for the sake of humor. In this case, this was a sarcastic exaggeration of how Ruben's been assessed in this thread.
I don't know many other Guards of Ruben's era that would be better for the HOF. So, if he was the best at his position for his era, judged by the awards and accolades... I mean I remember watching him play at the time. I remember not really getting why Ruben was always singled out as the best Bills player.
If a Bill got into the HOF by being a little over-rated, I guess it's just me, I would just take the W.

None of those words have changed in definition though, especially your "pet peeve" socialism.
Misuse of the English language doesn't change a definition.
Where does language come from? God?
Really love the folks dying on this hill. "Language never changes, snowflake!" lol
Kind of a really direct example of how racists really need to insist on their own fictional reality with highly developed selective listening skills. Let's see how it manifests this time...
47 minutes ago, RealKayAdams said:This is such an important point you’ve made, billsfan1959 (and thank you for doing so while being respectful to Margarita). I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the nature of modern American political discourse and why it’s apparently collapsing all around us. I could list many reasons, but two that I’ll mention have to do specifically with how we use language. We all seem to be talking over and around each other because of our propensity for making sweeping and hasty generalizations, as well as for the reason you mentioned: using words with arbitrary definitions and loose interpretations.
In order to avoid confusion, we should all develop habits of specifying beforehand the meaning of a word we’re using if it differs from Webster’s dictionary, if it’s a commonly misused one, if it has multiple definitions, or if the definition has recently changed within the culture. “Defund,” “racism,” “fascism,” and even “abolish” are the most recent culprits. For me, my pet peeve has always been “socialism.”
"Defund" is the right word.
It means starting the conversation from 0 and building up.
Not starting from current police budgets and working down.
It's strong language for a reason. It's a negotiating tactic. It communicates the severity and vastness of change needed.
It's the right word.
It's arguably not strong enough. "Imprison the police" once we remove legal qualified immunity... that's gonna be a fun conversation.

We agree that this case shouldn’t have happened, but if you think the answer to preventing similar situations in the future is to disarm the police and then weigh them down in bulky armor, effectively making them sitting ducks then we couldn’t be further apart.
Police should be trained in de-escalation above all else. That's the position I am holding. Reducing the weaponry from police — again, armed police is not the case in EU, AU, CA — admittedly their population is less armed — but you don't de-escalate a situation by coming in and pointing guns. That means you either control the situation immediately — and I'm saying if that's the case, police could've done so without the weapons and just in numbers and non-lethal physical coercion — or as in this case the situation spirals out of control immediately.
There are so many countless innocent deaths caused by accidental police shootings. Since expecting cops to never make a mistake is unrealistic, then instead, maybe they don't all need guns. Maybe those tools can only be in the hands of highly trained and highly disciplined specialists, and not as a standard issue.

Leaving out your farcical economics notions for the moment.....
Colin Kaepernick knelt for the anthem. Some argue it cost him his job which it might have but plenty of others have done it and are still around. Leaving aside the argument about company time, CK doesn't support the founding or at least some aspects of our society. He kneels to let his thoughts be known.
If he were a Chinese, North Korean, Venezuelan, .......athlete and took the same knee, what would happen to him? You know just as well as I do exactly what would happen.
Before even getting into economics, I've seen enough to disavow these commies. Did America force Paul Pot to do what he did? Did America force Tiananmen square?
Well I'm only talking about it as an economic model. I'm not defending any failed communist states. I'm saying the economic model hasn't been given any earnest shot in good faith. I don't count the USSR as being a good faith application of the model.
Your point re: Kaep is what, exactly? He should be executed? Or he should have freedom of expression? I agree he should have freedom of expression in America. It's odd how many Americans think he shouldn't have that because it's "company time"
It's odd how many Americans side with the "company" -- who could give a ***** about any one of us -- instead of one of their own countrymen speaking out against injustice. Odd.
Maybe you wouldn't. But if you got fired for speaking out about injustice at your job and I knew about it? I would also be on your side and not the company's.

This is how the PC movement takes advantage of cognitive association to artificially dictate standards of morality through manipulation of language.
The word "racist" has a very negative association because when you first heard it you likely associated it with images of innocent people being beaten, subjugated, tortured, or killed for no other reason than how they looked.
It was probably deeply disturbing and troubled you for some time. That emotion is forever tied to that word for you. That's how the human mind works.
Imagine the difference if your first association with the word "racism" had been linked to the image of a white woman unintentionally offending a black man by politely telling him he speaks well, and thus implying that she assumed, based on his appearance, that he was inarticulate.
It's hard, if not impossible, because you already have your associations, but if you could you'd realize that in scenario 2 you may think the woman should be more thoughtful, but you certainly wouldn't have the traumatic visceral reaction to it, and you certainly wouldn't think she was evil. But under the new definition she'd be a "racist".
If the latter example was your baseline emotional association with the word "racism," you wouldn't necessarily think that badly of someone based solely on the accusation of "racism" without more.
The PC movement knows the association is the former, and not the latter and takes advantage of that. They re-define words to expand the definition to encompass things that are not terribly egregious, but as long as they can fit them into the same category, they will be perceived as such.
Love the idea that language doesn't change with race. Why aren't we seeing anyone saying the N word? That was an acceptable standard objective definition for a long time. But "racist" doesn't mean "racist" because it hurts your feelings.
Mentioned it before but its always fun how "Politically correct" — which just means basic respect for another person's identity — is only an issue (and only called "PC") when it's an identity you can't imagine respecting. It's not "PC" to you to insist on respect for the Confederate flag. That's "history" and "heritage."
This isn't you being "hypocritical." You were just right before, and right in the future, and right in any conceivable conversation imaginable. Even when you're wrong, you're right.

Current events have pushed me over the edge, and I think I'm finally going to get a gun (two actually). I've grown up around guns (both parents are military, Dad is also police) and I've been shooting regularly since I was little, but I never really felt the need to own one myself. Now, my confidence in police to effectively protect is shaken and I feel the need to be capable of protecting myself. Looking at a handgun and a short barrel shotgun, and open to suggestions.
There's some grenade launchers back on the market

Well done comrade.
As to your identity, my answer is, nobody.
As for quitting, I don't want you to quit. People like you and your fellow droogs will help re-elect Trump in a landslide. Your propaganda is stale and antiquated. That's the best part. You are self-destructive and completely blind to it.
Lmao.
The idea that you can limp back to "ur the one re-electing Trump." Reality check, Reality Check — you were always voting Trump. "No I'm writing in Ben Shapiro." Who gives a *****. The Trump voters are who they are. It's abuser logic. "Look what you made me do."
If I were concerned about of you guys being in relationships with women, I'd be concerned about all of your red flags to domestic violence. Thankfully I am guessing the women in your lives identified those too.
You're so scared. The idea that your worldview isn't the objectively correct one just blows your little mind, huh?

Jim, make sure to include your exact payment method, including any credit card numbers (as well as the security number on the back), and/or bank account information, including routing numbers, so that we can verify that you did, in fact, make the payment. Your social security number and the answers to any account security questions may also be helpful.
I'm not Jim. But no. Have you ever purchased anything online? The receipts contain no such information; they're X'd out. It's just name, amount, email address. Thats all an Act Blue receipt would show you. Not that you would know, obviously. And what am I gonna do with your email address? Talk to you more?? Lol

What's bad about being a commie exactly? Philosophically. Just wondering if you know why you don't like it, or if you just like the way it tastes as pejorative.
That every communist state has failed means little. What communist state existed without US obstruction and interference? It's not possible to name one; it doesn't exist. And how exactly are the capitalist states doing these days, remind me?
Do you ever think about the things you think, and why you think them?

Yeah....like hw about big rubber suits for the Cops to wear so that bullets will bounce right off of them! I'm sure the wives of all these officers will be thrilled to send their husbands off to work as long as they have their big rubber suit to protect them. That'll work...problem solved.
Well, the technology exists. You could cover officers head to toe pretty well and give 'em the riot shields. Seems like a better use of the money to be spent in defensive gear rather than offensive weaponry.
You're welcome to pitch better ideas. "We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" I'm guessing?

Yeah, I think the 70’s/80’s in particular were a hot time for speed, cocaine and hallucinogens. I think Dock even said as much in the video, like “everyone was doing bennies.” Just part of the sports culture during that time.
Oh yeah for sure, no doubt about that. I just meant as in it's more of a tradition in baseball moreso than like football or basketball or hockey, I would think, to play inebriated? Because the game requires a lot less overall physical movement

I think it’s a bold assumption to make that the boyfriend wouldn’t have opened fire if the police didn’t have guns. I’m not even sure he knew they had guns or if their guns were drawn when he opened fire. If you kick someone’s door in uninvited at 1am that action alone is enough for many people to believe you mean to do them grave harm and that deadly force is justified whether you as the burglar are armed or not, and there’s many jurisdictions in this country where the law agrees that deadly force is justified. I’m not sure what not wanting to murder police has to do with this case, since the reason the charges against the boyfriend were dropped and the reason I personally believe his actions are justified is precisely because he didn’t know they were police serving a warrant, so he treated them as the home invaders they appeared to be.
From the cops’ side, I certainly believe deescalation has its time and place, and should be taught to recruits and reinforced through career-long continuing education, but when you’re taking gunfire isn’t the time for “how can I help you?” At that point they need to address the deadly threat they’re facing in the way that ends it the quickest, which means shooting back.
This is why I feel like we're close. The cops are the ones in possession of the view of the larger picture; he is the confused person, he is firing out of fear and desperation. They have the protective gear — shields, helmets, armor — and he has a civilian firearm, right? (I know they're serving a warrant. I'm saying theoretically as a solution, cops could be in more armor/have protection, without needing to have offensive firepower.)
We should be able to expect more from cops to prevent violence rather than excusing them for the violence they perpetuate. The idea that it could've been worse, or it's understandable from a certain point of view — imo that is all kinda unacceptable now. It's jut not good enough.
My honest feeling, and obviously I'm not alone on this, is that I question all of it. I question the use of deadly force in the biggest most general sense for police, and ask why? Why does it have to be that way? It's worked elsewhere with unarmed police just fine. Just what I've seen personally locally in LA County, I've yet to ever read a story about a police shooting that seemed absolutely necessary. I am struggling to conjure any example of a situation where the police didn't appear to instigate the situation toward violent ends. Idk.

Does PPP stand against Racism?
in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Posted · Edited by GregPersons
I asked first
I'm only asking people who are saying racism isn't real to do so with their faces
Lots of faces are available in protest footage, including mine. But the people who bravely type behind keyboards about how protests are wrong... they're too lazy to show us their faces too?
Who else told us Black people need to shut the ***** up and accept their treatment by the law while hiding their faces?
My theory? Racists are all cowards. I've yet to see any evidence of a racist who is brave. And I've spent the last week on PPP talking to a lot of racists. To a man (including very much @Rob's House who has been repeatedly offered money to stand by his views with his face) they are all huge puss'y b'tches.
Hope that answers your question.
Racists are cowards.
