EasternOHBillsFan Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 And what pray tell would you have them to do fix what's wrong? You are making an assumption that they have the POWER to fix it. That's the crux of the matter. You think they don't WANT to fix it? You think they CREATED it on purpose, and they PERPETUATE it because they like it? So, they make it much worse... so that's a solution? LMAO So essentially what makes them NOT have power if they don't burn or loot? They obviously don't want to fix it because it is not their primary focus to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Upset? I'm not the one who has spent the whole day on a message board justifying criminal acts in the name of "Civil liberties." By skirting the issue, twisting words, and failing to acknowledge that they're committing criminal acts, you discredit yourself more than you're capable of comprehending. That's something you won't read in a history book. I haven't twisted anything, you just don't support certain causes and believe in restricting certain peoples right to protest. Gotcha. No, just upset about ignorant fools who would rather burn and loot than fix what's wrong in their own damn communities. It's 2016, not the 1770s. Anyone engaging in looting and burning like that should be held accountable, but principles remain the same regardless of the era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) That's not necessarily true, but nothing I type here is going to change your mind. I don't think it's true either but with EOE, it gives an advantage. Edited August 27, 2016 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yup. That was my point. I knew you'd come around! There will always be an element that does that, but you can't paint everyone with the same dirty brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never cringed so much on this message board in my life. This conversation is really uncomfortable. Honestly this is tame compared to the PPP thread.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 You're judging an entire group of people based on the actions of of a very few. Ignorance, or racism? Pick one. Sounds like both to me. Don't like me judging you based on a statement? Tough shirt. See how it works? So why don't the many speak out against the actions of the few? That doesn't require POWER either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I grow weary.

B-Man Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Pole Vaulter demonstates how Americans react to National Anthem and then there’s Usain Bolt who’s not even American..: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8uiYELBajc I"m a little concerned with the NFL's rather obvious hypocrisy here. Their response today was: "we recognize the right of an individual to choose to participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem" But when the Dallas Cowboys want to honor the police lives lost in their city with a "Blue Lives Matter" tribute. Oh no, we can't have that. No "demonstrations" allowed then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Show me where I "painted everyone with the same dirty brush." If you're condemning the entire BLM movement you were indeed and if it was just those engaging in looting/burning then no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LI_Bills Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 For years players have used the national anthem as a platform. What makes no sense to me (cue Battle Hymn of the Republic in the background) is that the anthem/flag should be a celebration/acknowledgement of our freedoms. Including the freedom of speech to voice your displeasure with the current state of affairs. Voicing your displeasure while spurning the symbol that grants you that right seems contradictory and pointless to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felonious Monk Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 (edited) If you're condemning the entire BLM movement ... I wasn't, despite how much you wanted me to.

GG Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 He's only half black. What people don't really know is that in his contract he gets paid 15m for his white half but only 4m for his black half. Don't shoot the messenger. Good thing he's not a woman then, because he'd only get 74% of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
