  1. Agreed. But that isn't what is occurring or even being discussed as occurring in the article.
  2. Read the full article in the OP and then OP can apologize for lying.
  3. I'd like to see the longer video of this. How was he treated so well in this situation? If he was a real threat, he'd be breathing through a straw. I would guess he was being mentally unstable before this point of the flight... enough for others to take it easy on him.
  4. The number of guns citizens illegally owned and used in a few city blocks in major cities is too high for the people living and traveling to those areas. Gun ownership is a blip concern for the vast majority. Hot policing and economic opportunity programs are the 1-2 punch needed.
  5. Just a few blocks of those inner cities.
  6. I feel like there’s a lot of truth to the idea that 'the left can’t handle a joke at their expense.' All their reactions are just outrage and cancel culture... Neither that statement or your statement is exactly true. Let's keep going... I feel like there is a lot of truth in the meme below... And this was funny... coming from a meme that is not about women...
  7. While fans were tomahawking for the Nigerian Nightmare in their red-and-yellow Zubaz, I was obsessed with watching Bo Jackson play baseball for the KC Royals. So much so that I always wore my black-and-silver Raiders windbreaker to Chiefs games... the one annual football game my dad would take me to.
  8. Give me frog stroke or death since the Egyptians first illustrated it on their walls. What is the breaststroke?
  9. The most I have personally driven for a single car is about 110K. Honda Civic.
  10. My 2008 F150 has 130K... bought in 2015 with 85K... The last expedition had 220K...
  11. Yes - General American... surprisingly since the speaker is Canadian. Sounds very neutral... easy to understand.
  12. All polar bears
  13. It is your duty to vote. Do not let the "worst" option win by default
  14. Following @Undefeated across topics provides a stronger indicator that he is an educated Iranian.
  15. Maybe UPS. Lower than its been in 10 years...
  16. Gold has outperformed over the past year and underperformed over the last five years. Holding gold longer in this market is a good idea. Last 5 Years S&P500 - 114% Gold - 40% Last 1 Years S&P500 - 18.6% Gold - 41.8% Year To Date S&P500 - 9.4% Gold - 25.9%
  17. What is the company you would buy now? My old company used to buy other products and that was a good starting point for investment considerations (like jfrog). My new company builds all their own products… Maybe United Healthcare to catch the rebound? I don’t think it is at the bottom yet I do expect it to go up considerably over time. Cosmetics will rebound on a longer horizon. I closed out of Advanced Auto Parts and Southwest Airlines last week. I am closing out of ATT and may cut some SOFI because it is the main horse I ride. SOFI seems expensive now but they keep making money, their money is making money, and it will continue to grow rapidly for years to come. I like the good companies with beaten down prices like Nike recently. I have a hard time buying tech when it is already at highs. I work in tech and it blinds me… the layoffs, etc… Intel… seems like that company will keep getting beat up. Western Union is dying. Sofi allows buying equity in private companies like space x. May go that route. Crypto feels like gambling so no to that. Tesla is high and will go higher over time. Just not sure if it will pullback bigly first. Holding timeframe is months to years.
  18. I am disappointed but not fooled.
  19. Sometimes the lesson is not worth learning.
  20. Strike 3 Refers to the ultimate goal of seizing the means to production. It feels as though the left is in a more ascendant position than in recent years. I want to emphasize that as our position shifts, as we accumulate power and elect individuals like myself and my slate mates to local office, we are treated differently than before. As power engages with us now, it’s critical to remember what we’re fighting for and to ensure our agenda is driven by conviction, not political calculus.Many of our beliefs, such as student debt cancellation or Medicare for All, already have widespread popular support across the country. However, there are other issues we firmly believe in, like BDS or the ultimate goal of seizing the means of production (10:12 in video), where we currently lack the same level of public support.
  21. Agreed. We are are too human to see past the media, to tribal to be open, and too comfortable to reasonable act. And who can blame us when we are a slow boiling frog called Rome.
  22. I see the song as reasonable criticalness of the US culture. Yet even if he believes the HLF was unjustly prosecuted, he expresses "My love to the Holy Land 5." I looked them up and they were classified with evidence as a terrorist organization. Hence he supports groups that are and/or minimally supported terrorist organizations.
  23. Sure I rethink my views over time but its hard to dismiss support for a terrorist group. That's over the the line for me and I haven't heard or read anything that shows he is different now.
