bbb Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Everybody expresses bad behavior from time to time, but God forbid try and and correct it by acting like the nervous white guy (bossman in the chicken suit) who attempts to have skin in the game. That gets labeled as uncool. There in lies the problem. How do you get the feckless (whenever I think of that word, I think of the lyrics posted below) of any color, race, etc... to start taking pride in the nation, their community, and their family? Thats where Colin carry the torch behind his refusing to stand. We will see, or will he take his $$$ & run away? It gets me to think of the song by The Clash (yes, The Clash): Rudy Can't Fail. Read the inspiration behind the lyrics by doing a Google search. Many parts of society (not just AA community, but very predominant)... "Sing, Michael, sing-on the route of the 19 Bus Hear them sayin' How you get a rude and a reckless? Don't you be so crude and a feckless You been drinking brew for breakfast Rudie can't fail So we reply I know that my life make you nervous But I tell you that I can't live in service Like the doctor who was born for a purpose Rudie can't fail I WENT TO THE MARKET TO REALISE MY SOUL 'CAUSE WHAT I NEED I JUST DON'T HAVE FIRST THEY CURSE, THEN THEY PRESS ME TILL I HURT WE SAY RUDIE CAN'T FAIL We hear them sayin' Now first you must cure your temper Then you find a job in the paper You need someone for a saviour Oh, Rudie can't fail We reply Now we get a rude and a reckless We been seen lookin' cool an' a speckless We been drinking brew for breakfast So Rudie can't fail Okay! So where you wanna go today? Hey boss man! You're looking pretty smart In your chicken skin suit You think you're pretty hot In your pork pie hat But...Rudie can't fail Look out, look out... Sky juice!...10 cents a bottle!" You can challenge the status quo, but when do you start taking pride in what kind of society the change has brought about? Where are the stewards taking ownership? This is where I get very conservative after pushing for social change. Pass on the light, become the stewards of your change. I knew I shouldn't have agreed with you on something..........Now I have no idea what you're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really had no idea what you were talking about either @ first. So I tried after looking at your post for its face value and sorta spun it off. I know this stuff is hard to understand, but try. Don't make assumptions about anybody or anything, dig a little deeper. The lyrics I posted above aren't suppose to be take exactly in the words they were written. But look @ them in general on how society balances itself between the status quo and what it needs to achieve progressive change. Now even better 50 years past the context and 30+ years since it was written. Use things in cultural as historical reference. Essayons! Aka... Just try! Peace...

Scenes from the new Broadway hit! "Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person!" Act I: Police as Willy Loman "I don't say he's a great man. Willie Loman never made a lot of money. His name was never in the paper. He's not the finest character that ever lived. But he's a human being, and a terrible thing is happening to him. So attention must be paid. He's not to be allowed to fall in his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must finally be paid to such a person. Linda, regarding Willy Loman." What? Police in LA want to be like Sally Field now. That's a shock. LMAO. Don't worry Act II is on its way. Act II: The Police are loved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 This is a familiar pattern that goes all the way back to Obama’s second book, Audacity of Hope, which is almost entirely a string of sing-song setups on issues. Some people say red, but some people say yellow. I say … orange. Obama long ago mastered the politician’s rhetorical trick to make people believe that he’s on their side, no matter which side they’re on. As intended, this is an answer that will allow everyone to hear what they want to hear. (In this case, we don’t even get the orange.) Are you cheering Kaepernick’s protest? Then you’ll get the same message as in CNN’s headline on this tweet — Obama defends Kaepernick’s right to protest. Angry over the disrespect Kaepernick shows the flag and the anthem? Then you’ll gravitate toward The Hill’s headline, Obama: Kaepernick should think about pain he could cause with protest. In this case, though, Obama’s right on both counts. Kaepernick has the right to protest in a disrespectful way, and it clearly disrespects a moment of unity that allows us to come together as Americans to enjoy the escape of sports from our increasingly over-politicized lives. The rest of us have the right to express our disdain for his antics and stop watching his team on television. Besides, Kaepernick’s not the problem; the NFL is, which holds teams and players to ridiculous standards on speech on the field in everything but the national anthem. If the NFL really was committed to free speech and protest, they wouldn’t have threatened fines for those who wanted to wear shoes that commemorated 9/11 and vetoed a planned commemoration of five Dallas police officers who gave their lives to protect free speech. It’s the hypocrisy that’s turning off football fans, and turning off TVs. http://hotair.com/archives/2016/09/29/obama-maybe-kaepernick-rethink-form-protest/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) Ref makes outrageous ‘shooting a bow and arrow’ call for Josh Norman’s penalty http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/10/josh-norman-ref-bow-and-arrow-penalty-jeff-triplette-redskins-browns Josh Norman really got into the celebration following his first interception of the season, but referee Jeff Triplette’s call of the penalty was more memorable than the actual celebration. Norman mimicked shooting off a bow and arrow, which drew an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty because the NFL hates celebrations. When it came time to announce the penalty, Triplette called Norman out specifically for his “shooting a bow and arrow.” That’s a first. Norman was upset about the penalty on the sidelines, and he had good reason. The NFL rulebook bans a lot of celebrations, but surprisingly, “shooting a bow and arrow” isn’t listed. Now, I dislike taunting and showboating as much as the next old fart. But Norman wasn’t taunting anyone. He made his gesture on or near the Redskins sideline. Yes, it was showy. But shouldn’t NFL players be allowed to have a little fun? These guys play a tremendously difficult sport under a huge amount of pressure. Their mistakes (especially those of a cornerback like Norman) are there for all to see, dissect, and denounce. But honestly, is death by bow and arrow a problem in America? I don’t think so.
