No. These are books that have been cancelled off and on for decades. Today, your book, curriculum, and other canceling is occuring from the 30 percenters. Is the use of the N word that important to your learning? You either choose to fight it or support it. Obviously, you're good with it 30 percenter cancel culture.

I lost no bet, but nor did Bob. Let it go. People are tired of it, ok?

I'm simply just stating the facts, as they are here in Ioway. I don't like it any more than you. As for your second paragraph, and correct me if I'm wrong, but has any State or Federal legislature mandated any of the specific things that you parrot, outside of maybe light bulbs? Instead, the authoritarians in legislatures are canceling books ( classics included), what can be taught, human sexuality eggakashun, requiring we teach about the benefits of slavery, and books about the Holocaust, as only a SNAPSHOT of everything else they're canceling. Here's guessing you're on the same page too, based on what national data is showing us.

His research does not show that. In the U.S. it has been one-sided for decades. We may not like his results, but they speak for themselves. I would suggest that instead of trying to deny it or point fingers elsewhere we may want to come up with ways to combat it because it is on the rise today, right before our very eyes.

I may have been posting in the thread but we weren't re-litigating the stupid, as you're strangely choosing to do. Did you stand to get something out of this bet? If not, why such a vested interest, outside of your 20+ year ax to grind and your obsession with me? Let it be. People will thank you.

Classic example that if you only read the cover and not the book, you won't get an accurate picture. He defines right wing and left wing different from what you're referring to.

This was a dead thread all weekend long, which I suspect was a big relief for the poor sots on here who had to withstand it. I thought that it was a dead issue until you, in your brilliance, chose to te-litigate it by stirring it up again. I didn't lose, I'm not paying, so please let your 20+ year ax to grind and your obsession with me wane. Mes is guessing that many on here will be relieved. Got it now? Good...

That line still stands today. I set him up for a sucker bet, he changed the conditions, and we never agreed upon the final terms. That's on YOU if you can't decipher something so simple and clear.

So, you know EXACTLY what went down after one page, eh? Perhaps you may need to read just a tad more as Husker had nothing to do with the bet. But, by Gum, you KNOW what happened.

I always wonder why there is this strange gap in the sequence of posts, but I forgot that I had to put our resident proud white person and white power advocate on my ignore list.

Due to my wife's diligence, she managed to scrape off much of the excess, which made a big difference.

Exactly what I was trying to say, but couldn't state it as clearly as you did.

Yeah, I do some research. I also live in Iowa and follow every law passed by our one party authoritarian rulers. I said nothing about gun deaths. I simply stated the fact, as I always do, that Iowa has almost entirely de-regulated firearms, with some of the most extreme actions in the country. We rank 40th in per capita death by firearms rate, so yeah, we're fairly low, and a LONG way from the rates seen in blue states, which almost universally have the lowest rates in the country. With that said, and as shows across the country, our wild west gun "laws" are still new and as data comes forward over the years, we'll see our rates rise, as they do in almost all states with lax gun laws.

I wish that the folks advocating for Meat Church Holy Cow would have warned me to not put it on liberally, as you do with a typical rub. SALTY!

A good friend of mine is a professor at Villanova.

On this we can agree.

Sorry, but GWN is right. Many actions and beliefs demonstrate either prejudiced, discriminatory, or even racist views, all seemingly benign and unintended. It's more common that flat-out acts by white power groups, one of which admittedly lurks among us. As for inmate #PO1135809, he openly demonstrates his racism by his past lawsuits, his open statements, whom he appointed, and, most recently, whom he associates with. See how much learnin' you can do with some of that good ol' fashioned " indoctrination," (whatever that means)?

What I meant was is that there are a handful of traditions that adamantly believe and teach that one must be saved, declare Jesus as their savior, be baptized, etc. in order to really reach salvation. Ones I think of right away are Pentacostals and Baptists, particularly southern baptists, if I'm not mistaken. I was raised, and still consider myself, Lutheran and that is not a part of our practice or belief.

Especially children. And I'm not kidding. All legal here in Ioway. Wild west.

The stall will drive me away from this.

Those of us in the bidness use the definitive source of everything authoritarianism as our guide post. He offers one of his best books completely free. Anyone concerned about the rise in authoritarianism and its consequences should read it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Altemeyer

It's almost a six page story to describe the evolution of my name, so I'll keep it as short as possible. I wrestled up until 8th grade and actually coverted to being a basketball player, which I then played in high school. Yes, I was a center, but also because of my stature. I could "hold my own" under the glass. When my nephews got heavily involved with wrestling, it re-ignited my love for the sport. Noticing that wrestling always got backseat coverage to basketball-yes, even living here in Iowa-I grew a little embittered by it, so when wrestling message boards began around 2000, that's the name I chose and have kept for recognition purposes ever since. I'm back to liking and appreciating basketball again, so the name doesn't exactly fit today. I follow UNI basketball and whoever beats the Sqwawkers regularly. That's it!

Penrith actually had a better record than Schwab, with a tough dual schedule, for his first ten years, which was how long Penrith was there. Schwab's last five years or so have really upped UNI's game. Barring something happening, I'm pretty much banking on his second national champ in five years' time. It'd had been nineteen years since our last one (2000).

That's it.
