Lol.
Don't end up in the wrong text chain with protesters in DC or else....
Don't tell people in DC to peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard or else....
And you're right that you better not even think about exercising your constitutional rights in these commie areas if you are "guilty" of wrong think.
But Im not clear on if you actually think that's a good thing or you're pointing out that DC juries have no problem wiping their asses with the constitution?
i don't think it's good. but having dealt with court too many times in my life i know that it is a place of uncertain outcomes. every judge or jury has bias. going to court expecting a certain result is a recipe for disappointment.

"Going to trial in DC with the wrong ideology is a one way ticket to jail.
Going to trial in DC with the right ideology is a get out of jail free card"
if that's true then it's probably best to not end up in court in DC, for some people.

going to court is always a risk.

i don't get the arguement here...would the title be any better if it were "Firearm Deaths are the Leading Cause of Death in 19-Year-Olds or Younger in the USA"?

The more I think about it the Bills players wanted to put this year behind them. Did they play less than their best? Absolutely not. But for a team that has faced so much between a missed Christmas, Dawson's brother passing away, to the Tops shooting, to Damar, to Hyde their defensive leader being out this year, to Dane's potential career ender, to Von Miller the other defensive leader being out, to playing 10 away games, to always playing short in the defensive secondary (no Poyer and Hyde for multiple games along with playing rookies at DB), to even Josh's shoulder injury. I would say they were emotionally spent. Could they have beat Jacksonville this week? Maybe but I'll tell you as a fan there is some sort of relief that they finally get to lick their wounds and heal. They are absolutely done. The Marv Levy quote states this year perfectly "Fight on, my men, Sir Andrew said. I am hurt, but I am not slain. I'll lay me down and bleed a while, And then I'll rise and fight again."
Let's get behind them next year for the best is yet to come. They get 13-3 this year with all this going on, they will be better for it next year.
I agree with your take, although i think it really came down to Hamlin. It's not anyone's fault that it happened the way it did, but it was clear that that moment was highly disturbing to the players. All they wanted was for their friend to survive, football be damned. Then they went into "win for Hamlin" mode which worked for a while but as you said, is mentally exhausting. Having Hamlin at the game the way they showed him on tv was weird as well. At the same time you can't ask the players to forget and play as if it never happened. And the same love that fans and media poured out only increased the pressure, good intentions notwithstanding.
It would never have been enough to win the sb. You have to be at your best to win and the Bills clearly were not at their best. Allen needed to be processing the field at maximum ability. We have seen him do it. Sadly these playoffs were an aberration in that regard.

Was it desperation when gronk unretired and won a championship?
If it works, it will have been a good decision. I see little downside.

This has been my argument here the last few years in terms of why I hate this defensive scheme and not fooled by the top 5 overall rankings each year.
Too many times in recent years this defense has let both subpar and elite NFL starting QB's rip them to shreds even when mostly healthy. And it's at the point where opposing teams and coaching staffs are begging for multiple 3rd/4th and long plays against this unit because they seem to be easier to convert than a 3rd/4th and short play.
oh yeah you heard them beg for it? cool.

Kinda makes Tre look even worse here. I hope we do get him back we need him.
that would mean Tre looks bad, which he doesn't. only foolish tbd posters look bad on this topic.

haha as this thread goes, we just keep adding to the list of assumptions. pure brilliance on full display.

How so?
A year removed from injury and based on the way he waffled about covid, if there wasn't a setback, then it's reasonable to assume he has some sort of personal apprehension/hesitation about playing. That's not to say it's good or bad. Simply that, at this point, there has to be something else going on other than routine recovery.
So you admit you assume. That's good.
You should stop drawing conclusions from assumptions though. That's bad.
Considering we don't know and only assume, i'm willing to give tre the benefit of the doubt. He has earned that by being an excellent player, leader, teammate, and community member.

This team simply has to figure out how to finish. Yes they were able to finally get the offense back on track in the 2nd half yesterday but it was against a 3 win team who has one of the worst defenses in the league that pretty much every team they've played has exploited.
Meanwhile, Jacoby Brissett had one of his best days ever and first 300 yard game for the Browns this year against Frazier and McD's vaunted defense. You still get the sense that this team is going to struggle mightily down the stretch as we hit the meat of the remaining schedule and assuming White does come back and play I don't see that changing much in the near term. Like myself and other predicted, it was criminal act by Beane and this front office to not adequately address DB in the offseason and rely on the likes of Dane Jackson and rookies and once again his incompetence as a GM is being proved here.
hahahah "proved"
i mean, feel free to have an opinion, and you clearly do, but your hypothesis is faaaaaaar from "proved"

@Adamb412 well he will probably eat lunch or something, so failure averted.

You force the other team to beat you.
Not play like you're scared of the weakest part of their offense.
they did. they didn't. they won.
you are wrong.

haha yes indeed divide and conquer is alive and well...no need to look further than this very thread.
we need an alien invasion or something, people might actually realize how similar we really are.
oh well, let the foolish, needless, dysfunctional infighting continue !

Good to see the hyperbole is alive and well. Americans sure aim to please.

The Bills star players have been healthy for 3 straight years. We are due for a big time injury. Its literally inevitable.
it is not inevitable. even literally. being "healthy for 3 straight years" (a dubious claim) has no bearing on the future at all.

In Canada we have first past the post and multiple parties, so it is definitely possible. Realistically only 3 parties (right, middle-left, left) hold any power and the third party has never held a majority, but right now the two left parties are working together as a majority. i like that they are forced to compromise to a point because they must work with each other or do nothing.
FPTP is crap, but at least we have more than one party which seems makes it less terrible.

Just had my own run in with a firearm in Canada. It is a sad story. man very close to me was assaulted several times by his wife (who is from Texas). On one occasion, she held a gun to his head. After her arrest, that gun was found hidden in their bedroom, a prohibited weapon in Canada, smuggled across the border, with no license or anything. she faces serious charges here.
I'm wondering, when one day she inevitably returns to Texas, how easy will it be for her to get another firearm? And does it seem right that she should have the privilege of owning a firearm, ever again? This is a person who has proven herself dangerous and reckless, but on paper only in Canada's eyes (unless there is a system our two countries share?).

I just took France from your example since it is easiest. It was allowed to save the mothers life starting in 1939. Not sure where you are reading that highly Catholic Italy and France allowed it then but they are wrong.
England had very harsh punishments also. Until the 20th century
Easy is it? It is more complicated than you pretend. Abortion to save the life of the mother was permitted by the French Medical Academy in 1852, to be revoked by the Vatican in 1895. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12335904/
In the US "Abortifacient advertising was highly effective in the United States, though apparently less so across the Atlantic. Contemporary estimates of mid-19th century abortion rates in the United States suggest between 20% and 25% of all pregnancies in the United States during that era ended in abortion." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_abortion So, it was accepted by a large amount women at that time at least. The point is, it was not "unthinkable", and it was quite common at least in the USA. 25% is a large number.
