  1. Past hour
  2. You were the one that made the claim that there was a disparity, the onus is on you to prove it. But to this point, there are only 5 white basketball players in the top 50 of that list, with the first one not coming in until #28. 2 of those 5 are 6’11 and 7’ foreigners. I have zero clue about basketball to tell if they’re mediocre, but I did find it interesting that 4 of the players are on 2 teams which I wasn’t aware were really basketball powers: Purdue and Creighton. Doing a quick search, the #28 guy was the B10 player of the year last year, doesn’t sound mediocre. Oddly enough it looks like both of the Creighton guys are incoming transfers from Iowa.
  3. I agree. SOME need to work on both. The people arguing the Country that's so close to Nuclear Weapons that it's imperative we bomb them while also arguing...they need a prolonged period for a cease fire because they have "iPhone in caves," are definitely struggling with both reading comprehension and deductive reasoning.
  4. Some need to work on their comprehension skills.
  5. Zero chance he doesn’t have insurance with a family. Besides, Bader pretty much said only the lung transplant was the issue. He’s been in the hospital for weeks, if he had no insurance at all I’d guess the hospital stay could cost more than the lung transplant.
  6. Yeah...he had that hip done, that would have been a few hundred K...or you pay 1600 a month for your family. I'd be shocked if he didn't. And of course, it has to be medically relevant, I was just listing reasons it could be denied and... it being experimental or low risk was the only plausible one I could find. The rest, he takes care of himself, he's got the resources to follow up on a post-transplant regiment, he has a support system. Basically, without knowing any of the details, you can check off the majority of reasons they could decline. So medically necessary, experimental are the two I don't know about...BUT, his wife certainly made it seem necessary.
  7. Corby and MSU158 are currently arguing about this on the Iowa board. Corby says USAW, MSU says NCAA. Corby also thinks they’re just going to get rid of the 250 mile rule altogether
  8. Also that number is only kindergarten redshirts, doesn’t include kids being held back at any point between starting kindergarten and graduating high school (some of which had done both, like Bo), which would also be part of my estimate.
  9. Thay they weren't given any intelligence they are going to have to bring that up with God.
  10. Then pick another say offensive and defensive linemen in football.
  11. It is hard to take anything you say seriously when you do not know the definition of the words you use to make your arguments. Almost like someone who spent his time playing video games instead of going to school.
  12. Bla bla bla. Whatever term you like it had nothing to do with academics and everything to do with getting an unfair leg up on competition. He didn’t go to school in this example. He stayed home and played vids and that’s just plain wrong.
  13. Today
  14. Maybe he doesn't have insurance and just chose not to get it because he's self employed? I don't think you can even get an organ transplant unless it is medically necessary because they are so rare to get (many die on the waitlists). It also doesn't make sense that he wouldn't have insurance though because he has an entire family.
  15. That was not skipping. That is holding back. You really have zero idea what you are talking about, but boy it never stops you from talking.
  16. Yes doing a quick search I saw the Stanford study that said that, but was from 2013.
  17. I know some that have skipped. Call of duty in 8th grade anyone?

  19. 4% to 6% of students according to most research. I would say we will that number be reassessed to 7% to 10% as studies begin to include this current crop of post covid kindergarteners.
  20. Skipping a grade is the OPPOSITE of what you are talking about. You have even confused yourself.
  21. While it's not common for high school athletes to skip a grade solely to improve their athletic performance, some students do consider it, particularly those with exceptional talent. There isn't a specific statistic on the percentage of athletes skipping grades for this reason, but the practice is rare and often discouraged by schools. More commonly, students might skip a grade for academic or social reasons, which could indirectly benefit their athletic career. Here's a more detailed look: Not a typical athletic strategy: Skipping a grade to get better at a sport is not a standard practice in high school athletics. Most athletes focus on improving through training, coaching, and playing on competitive teams within their age group
  22. My personal opinion, about 10-15% of all students. I’d guess around 20% of D1 athletes.
  23. Here is a good transcript. All of them. Hillary. Obama. Biden. And Harris all saying they would bomb Iran if they were approaching nuclear weapons. Video is great. I bet it’s on x too https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8r4xUWu/ 00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 The United States is clear 00:00:02 --> 00:00:07 we will not allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon. 00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 If I'm the president, we will attack Iran. 00:00:09 --> 00:00:12 Whatever stage of development they might be 00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 in their nuclear weapons program 00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 in the next 10 years, during which 00:00:16 --> 00:00:19 they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel, 00:00:20 --> 00:00:24 we would be able to totally obliterate them. 00:00:24 --> 00:00:25 That's a terrible thing to say, 00:00:25 --> 00:00:28 but those people who run Iran need to understand that. 00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 Make no mistake, 00:00:31 --> 00:00:34 a nuclear armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained. 00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 It would threaten the elimination of Israel, 00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 the security of Gulf nations, 00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 and the stability of the global economy. 00:00:42 --> 00:00:45 It risk triggering a nuclear arms race in the region 00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 and the unraveling of the Non Proliferation Treaty. 00:00:48 --> 00:00:50 That's why our coalition of countries 00:00:50 --> 00:00:52 is holding the Iranian government accountable. 00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 And that's why the United States will do what we must 00:00:55 --> 00:00:59 to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. 00:00:59 --> 00:01:01 As long as I'm president of the United States, 00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. 00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 I've made that clear when I came into office. 00:01:06 --> 00:01:08 And look, I mean, 00:01:08 --> 00:01:11 Iran has American blood on their hands, okay? 00:01:11 --> 00:01:15 And what we saw in terms of just the. 00:01:15 --> 00:01:18 This attack on Israel, 200 ballistic missiles. 00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 What we need to do 00:01:21 --> 00:01:28 to ensure that Iran never achieves the ability to be a nuclear power, 00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 that is one of my highest priorities. 00:01:30 --> 00:01:31 So if you have proof that
