So are a lot of posts with political stuff related to thread but I get flagged and post deleted while other ones do not.  When I report sometimes I get flagged as well by Trumpite so just posting in thread reminder.  Start most controversy opinion in politics on PPP if you want to continue discussion.

 

Here’s perhaps a controversial opinion.  Unless someone is harming you, mind your own friggin business.  We have mods here to sort these types of things out.

Here’s perhaps a controversial opinion - I don't care what you say and more likely to do opposite based on it.

The shear amount of people that either agree with him or not.

 

More people (I know that's not what wins) disagree with him.  Yet, upside down elections are fine if you attempt to  not make irrelevant the majority of people.

 

He won, that's okay.  But he has to acknowledge the fact that it's upside down.  More people disagree with him.  He needs to accept that and try to establish a mandate with the people.

 

He's the Bills going into the 4th, 2020 with a 3 point lead against the Pats** and he's throwing bombs against the wind with a Tyrod Taylor arm.  No way it holds.

Trump still lost the popular vote.  Even know he won, that still means he has to work at it.

As mentioned above. I dont want to take this down the PPP road, but there's a reaso we have the electoral college. To each their own.

Don’t you have threads to police?  Posters to report?  Wannabe moderator...???

 

Was actually offered mod position and turned it down quite some time ago.  And I do not do reports anymore unless it some uncontroversial like merging threads, copyright violations, etc.

Agree.  But one last thing: The reason is because the founders didn't trust the people (even if they were elite landowning white males).  It worked the exact opposite in 2016.  The EC didn't have nuts to pull trigger on the "safety valve."

You gotta take it with grain of salt.  Look @ context of the thread.  Don't keep score on what of your's is getting wacked vs. what others have let slide.  Not a pi ssing contest.  Okay, maybe it is a peeing contest between K.Smallies & Me!  ?

I think the Sabres should fire Phil Housley.  Not getting the most out of the young talent.

Paul Fenton (current GM for Minnesota Wild) interviewed for the Sabres GM job. He was told that they were really high on Phil Housley for the coaching vacancy and was asked how he felt about that. Paul said Phil was not ready for the job. Can't really argue that to this point.

Wow... Never heard that.  /smh

 

And Coach Q sits out there... Not following that.  But, Sabres seem like a Young 'Hawks situation.  Legacy coach, underachieving, etc...

Holidays are trash and birthday celebrations are asinine. You want a cookie because the earth revolved around the sun? Ridiculous.

 

You really need St. Patrick's Day and NYE as an excuse to get drunk? I'll get drunk on Tuesday if I feel like it.

No reason you would have heard this. Fenton and one of golf buddies are good friends from the days when their kids played hockey for UMass. They became good friends, still vacation together in the off season, gets my buddy tickets when they're playing in town, all that stuff.

We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. "We" are in fact the One with no second: A single and continuous field of energy, condensed into a collection of slow vibrations. Duality is an illusion. Space, time, and causation are illusions. We were never born and will never die. Suffering is caused by desire. Detachment from desire and recognition of our true nature leads to Satcitananda: Existence-knowledge-bliss eternal. 

I don't find that very controversial at all, but I presume many would.

Anytime the government subsidizes an industry it ends up ruined, i.e, health insurance and higher education.

 

Blood is not thicker than water, and family should be treated like every other relationship.

 

The patriots are horrible, but deserving of some level of respect for their mental toughness and ability to get the job done time and again. Even if they’re horrible birches. 

 

Credit cards are great tools when used properly (I’ve had so many people tell me they don’t have cc’s because they don’t want to be in debt.)

 

The Cold War is the greatest chapter in American history.

 

The widespread use and distribution of technology has taken more from the human expierience than it has given back. (Typed on my iPhone)

Women shouldn’t be allowed to pee sitting down.  If you want the right to vote, you can use a urinal like the rest of us.

 

Women should in fact be paid just like the men at major tennis tournaments........................when they start playing the best of five sets. Until then......no way!

According to Selective Services, " Virtually all male U.S. citizens, regardless of where they live, and male immigrants, whether documented or undocumented, residing in the United States, who are 18 through 25, are required to register with Selective Service."

 

"Today, ALL conscientious objectors are still required to register with the Selective Service System. A conscientious objector is one who is opposed to serving in the armed forces and/or bearing arms on the grounds of moral or religious principles."

 

Females do not have to register. If men and women are equal, why is this still the law?

 

Your thoughts?

 

BTW: I have two grandsons in the Army National guard. One is now also in college and the other finished his associates degree and is a new deputy in Ontario County.

Considering only about 1% of women will make effective soldiers, I'm fine with it.  I can't imagine anything less efficient than having to weed out millions of unfit women if we had to quickly call people up to fight.

Donald can do and say racist things but when someone else (D) does it they need to resign right away. 

 

So in other words, for all the crying over and slurs against Trump, you are freely admitting your party is no better than he. 

 

No earth shattering news there.

A few comments

 

To the first one, but who is it ruined by? I dont necessarily believe it is ruined by the government. From what I have seen from many, once they know its subsidized, they start charging what they want because they know your not the one paying. Similar to insurance. I have seen machanics and shops ask people if it will be paid for through insurance or if your paying for it yourself. If insurance, they quote higher because they know they can because the insurance is covering it, if tour paying out of pocket they cut a deal because they know your going to go with the most affordable option.

 

I never understood the people who feel superior they dont use CCs and have no debt. Not everyone has that ability. Many of the people that are considered wealthy arent 'debt free', they know how to leverage debt and cash to take advantage and increase their worth. And theres the saying about cash/money/wealth that when you die, you cant take it with you. Well when you die, you cant take your debt with you either......

 

Sort of as per your last point, I feel that the internet was a horrible creation that will lead to our demise. It's a great concept/idea, but it is destroying society. Everyone today has to share everything on it with the world, we have people that now feel that ever thought of theirs needs to be shared. It's too easy to post false info and pass it off as truth. Now everyone thinks they know everything about everything because they saw some blog or something on the internet about it. How many people are medical experts because they checked the symptoms on Web MD or googled it? Everything is a conspiracy or being controlled by some organisation. You can cherry pick the facts you want to believe.

I think only about 1% of men will make effective soldiers but there are a lot of non-military support roles each could manage well.

My party?   I'm an independent.  I don't kowtow to either party.

 

Trump the man is an idiot and always has been (well before he became a politician) 

 

John Kasich should get the ball rolling and go against the Bufoon In Chief

I think the refs made the right call in the Miracle City Miracle.

I was nine years old when this happened. I watched in on one of those portable black and white TVs because my babysitter and brother took up the other two. I literally haven't watched it since.

 

That said, his foot was over the line, it was a forward lateral, dead ball, Bud Adams can kiss my ass.

Trump says Democrat probes into him should 'never be allowed'

 

"PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT! It should never be allowed to happen again!"

I am currently “in the now”.  I have never been anywhere else. 

 

I am fascinated by the the non-linear nature/concept of time, space, and whatever makes up the other 95% +/- of this universe that isn’t made up of atoms and things we think we know a little bit about.
