  1. Past hour
  2. You should really just avoid the "can't remember anything" gig you've got going on - it's giving out a bad vibe.
  3. Good one, this is called "projecting"... do you what this means, scooter? This is where you attribute your own personal attributes to others. In this case, your failings. The problem with it is that what you are announcing to the world is really your failings. It's not a crime to not remember what you are saying from post to post, it's just it's incredibly rude to accuse others of your own failings without any rationale. Scout-tard Alzheimer's eating your brain level bad.
  4. Let's check your logic skills. If "someone" says a certain 1st group is more normal than a certain 2nd group... Does that mean the 2nd group "aren't normal" BZZZZZ.. your answer is wrong. No, it does not mean that they aren't normal. Keep at it, logic may not come easy but it's a skill everyone should have. (Really, seriously, work on that. You'll need it in high school and - if you make it - in college.)
  5. I think that the portal is just a formal way to say that you are open to transferring. It doesn't seem like there are any actual regulations on changing schools. Unenroll, get dismissed, quit, who knows.. You can join any team for second semester.
  6. I am very excited to see what Ware can do at NCU. I do think Nickerson did a great job there, but it seems to be a good hire with a lot of upside. Best of wishes to NCU and Ware.
  7. These are the kinds of posts I want from the notable guys that cover our sport.
  8. That’s true. But even the Germans didn’t overthrow Hitler themselves—just like the Russians didn’t overthrow Stalin. I had a German friend who once told me that his father was still a supporter of Hitler years after he was gone. Probably only people who’ve lived under regimes like Nazi Germany or Stalin’s USSR can truly understand that the chances of overthrowing the Islamic Republic without outside help are close to zero. I’ve read a lot of books about life under dictatorships, but I can honestly say that none of those regimes were as dangerous as the Islamic Republic. The reason? The supporters of this regime have something the others didn’t: deep religious fanaticism and a twisted interpretation of Islam where Khamenei is seen as being above even God. And then there’s the fact that the children and families of top Islamic Republic officials are living in the U.S.—which totally contradicts America’s supposed goal of pressuring the regime. For example, Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel, one of Khamenei’s top advisors, a relative of his, and one of the most dangerous figures in the regime—his daughter lives in New York!
  9. You know exactly what this means.. or you're terrible at your job. Take your pick. Smfh.
  10. Show us a single post. You won't be able to. They don't exist. But keep on being sloppy. That suits you.
  11. You know it's bad when C.P. is skeptical on a public format. I'm not faulting Flo for being hesitant to make comments, but when nothing concrete has come out and Pyles is essentially saying this doesn't look good.. you know it really doesn't look good.
  12. Don't care much about which political party. But I do, fiercely, believe in morality, honesty, ethics, principles, and integrity. In what way do you somehow think I don't?
  13. You absolutely win this one. I'm shocked - I did not see this coming. Not sure how to explain it. Jake Paul at #14 by the WBA. It's not without controversy, but that doesn't change the fact that you were right, and I was wrong. (Not something you see posters say around here much - but they really should far more often. It's OK to be wrong.)
  14. @Undefeated A common attitude here is that if it gets uncomfortable enough, the Iranians will change their leadership, one way or another. We know from past experience that if we do it for you, it will create chaos and resentment for us. Even when your economy is down your leadership spends exorbitantly on terrorism and nuclear weapons . That’s what we want to stop. So our gov’t tries to keep them pinched down as much as possible. The average American doesn’t hold ill will for the average Iranian, or average Russian, or average Chinaman, but until we figure out how to get by without governments, we’re the ones stuck holding the bag.
  15. Today
  16. Even the people that the Islamic Republic presents as “nuclear scientists” — and some of whom were killed by Israel in this conflict — are, in reality, not nuclear scientists at all. Most of them don’t do any scientific or research-based work. They’re involved in operational or logistical tasks related to Iran’s nuclear programs or affiliated projects. Just because someone has a degree in physics and works with the Islamic Republic doesn’t make them a nuclear scientist. Many of these individuals haven’t published a single scientific paper in any reputable physics journal or related field. The Islamic Republic calls a bunch of loyal operatives “nuclear scientists” simply to gain public sympathy and rally people behind them.
  17. About the bombing of the nuclear sites , Trump had pushed Khamenei into a corner, close to collapse, and then made a deal with them: We’ll bomb your nuclear sites, and you, in order to maintain your authority among your domestic supporters, will carry out a symbolic attack on our military base in Qatar — a completely controlled and limited strike. In the end, I believe all three — Israel, the U.S., and the Islamic Republic — achieved their goals. Israel eliminated senior IRGC commanders and, with U.S. help, at least temporarily got rid of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpiles. Meanwhile, the Islamic Republic used the crisis to unify the country internally for the first time in a long while. They arrested many political opponents under the pretext of “collaboration with Israel,” and doubled the price of essential goods and staples in the country. Even the deaths of military commanders didn’t actually harm the regime. Those commanders weren’t experts — in Iran, senior military positions are handed out based on loyalty to Khamenei (and in my opinion, to Putin), not based on any real military skill or experience. They’re just a bunch of unqualified, loyal enforcers. The regime easily replaced them with other loyalists. Over the course of just two weeks, prices of basic goods like eggs, groceries, everything doubled in Iran. The result of the war: all the governments profited — and ordinary people paid the price.
  18. Surely we should short the market now before the plunge? It's gotta tank and go full bore depression.
  19. can you explain what this means?
  20. crazy. you'd think the real journalists in iowa would have gotten to the bottom of this already. maybe they're still working on the story of who really shot Sam Stoll.
  21. The measure will be whether or not innocent people end up there. If people end up there for no other reason than they are foreign, then you might be onto something. If it’s strictly the illegals (they’re saying just the violent illegals but we’ll see about that), then it’s simply a detention center while they await their hearing. Supposedly there is going to be judge, maybe judges, on site to get to these hearings efficiently. That, too, will be interesting to see if comes to fruition.
  22. Adorable, angry, and obviously confused.
  23. I think @Undefeated comes in peace boss. He has a perspective we cannot comprehend. I think it’s important to listen to it. People may not agree bur I think we should listen.
  24. Bahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahha. E ooooo eeeeeeeeeeeee
  25. Bahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahha and a registered liar
