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"?

This was worth yelling about.

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.

oh yeah you heard them beg for it? cool.

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.

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.

awww, another thread of people pretending to know things they don't actually know! i think tre has earned the benefit of the doubt.

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.

they did. they didn't. they won. you are wrong.

holy christ wtf. doesnt matter what "side" one is on, those examples are pathetic. holy christ wtf. doesnt matter what "side" one is on, those examples are pathetic. holy christ wtf. doesnt matter which "side" one is on, those examples are pathetic.

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.

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.

But he got better!

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?).

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.

it would have been helpful if you worded the question clearly. incidentally, i'm seeing multiple examples in italy, england and north america where abortion was legal in the 1600s, depending on circumstance. it was illegal in more places, no question, that much i will agree with. France's perception and laws changed later (they started to regard it as family planning in the 1800s). if you need me to cite those examples, i will. point is, it's not accepted fact that abortion was illegal everywhere before 1920. the article i responded about says "The Bolsheviks introduced abortion in 1920 explicitly to break up families in order to make the survivors loyal only to the state. Prior to that, abortion was unthinkable. " turns out, it was accepted many places, legal in some, far from "unthinkable".
