  1. I realized that there is no Robbie Mathers who has randomly appeared to torch an NCAA champion or two and disappear for a few years. Maybe we're overdue for a sighting.
  2. Some rancher here murdered a guy who was 100+ yards away from him on his property who was running away in the opposite direction. Hopefully he is convicted of murder, his trial is going on right now.
  3. Anyone here without proper documents has not committed a crime. A civil offense, yes, not a criminal one. You are aware there is a difference?
  4. You said we should arrest people who are not lawfully present as they are breaking the law. I pointed out that they are not committing a crime by merely being present. In order to prosecute somebody for a crime of illegally entering, whether that is climbing a border fence or something, they basically need to be caught doing it, or just after the fact. Some guy in the desert outside Ajo probably didn't come in on a tourist visa. Even then, they still need to prove you actually did it. Remember, people seeking asylum are not illegal immigrants. They are wanting to come here so they don't get murdered.
  5. You're talking about 2 different things. It is a criminal offense if you try to hop the border fence and are caught doing so. Just merely being present in this country without authorization or something is a civil offense.
  6. Since we can't say it, here's a visual representation.
  7. What crime is that exactly? Just being present in the US without a valid visa or something is a civil violation, like a traffic ticket. So you are wrong.
  8. I wonder what kind of meltdown people would have if someone declared that Muhammad helped them win. I see the "100% Jesus trained" shirts. Imagine if someone had a "100% Prophet Muhammad trained" shirt.
  9. Wonder if some of the rumors of upheaval in the college coaching ranks have anything to do with him, as he is soon to be unemployed.
  10. This was announced months ago. Apparently some people can't keep themselves under control and the bosses don't want the headaches that come with it anymore.
  11. Didn't he blame the ills of the world on Jewish people?
  12. This guy and his family are a meth lab inside a dumpster fire of embarrassment.
  13. They consolidated a few years ago with Clarion and California. I think one of the conditions for that was the campus stays open.
  14. So far she's been losing bigly in court. Chalk up another L. https://tucson.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/elections/supreme-court-tosses-latest-complaint-in-arizona-voting-machine-case/article_e4c13fd8-f38f-11ee-8a0b-93e808b37a79.html
  15. That's like why I have to constantly defend my screenplay "The Sexual Adventures of Teddy Roosevelt". It's like nobody has any imagination anymore.
  16. When will Jimmy Cinnabuns pay his gambling debt to avoid his fingers being chopped off?
  17. People just want a reason to be mad at people they probably disagree with politically. That's what I get from reading this topic. I'm sure there some people think that sitting, ignoring, not being present or not paying attention during the anthem is disrespectful. And guess what? They are 100% entitled to believe that. And I also think that we have the wonderful freedom in this country to decide whether we do that or not. Ultimately, it's just a song played as part of the pregame show now. It's so ingrained into sporting events that it's routine. I remember when Mahmoud Abdul-Raouf started sitting down during the anthem when I was in middle school. It was in the paper for less than a week and that was it.
  18. Does it hurt anyone if you ignore the anthem? No. I remember when I went to a couple of playoff games during the Phoenix Suns run to the finals many years ago. During one game against San Antonio, they didn't even play the anthem at all. I think everyone just wanted to start the game. Yeah it has a symbolic meaning, blah blah. I stand for it at games and stuff. But I don't just drop what I'm doing if I hear it. I think that's kind of jingoistic. In the end it's just a song. It wouldn't matter if our anthem was "Call Me Maybe", I'd still feel the same. Best version of our anthem though. They should play this one all the time.
  19. I was in the army. Most of the people in my unit or battalion couldn't have cared less. If you want to sit on your ass and not stand for the anthem, that's your decision. Forcing or coercing somebody into it is borderline facist. If you want to sit in the locker room because you're preparing for a game, that's your business. This stupid debate boils down to a few things. Are they hurting anyone by being in the locker room for the anthem? No. Does being present or standing for it have any bearing on their performance? No. Is it any of our business why people do what they do? No. Do I take it as an insult? No.
