I have no idea what your first few sentences mean?? Anyway, again, somewhat agree with the first couple of sentences in your second paragraph but then lose me again. Emotions are absolutely necessary to help people make decisions in life and should be part of the Freedom we expect out of our society...I am merely pointing out that it is ridiculous to use ONLY emotions to make decisions and/or opinions. Also, I am not sure how you have come to the conclusion that we "are becoming anesthetized" and "the shootings are normalized"? In my opinion, the problem is a portion of our society and politicians make shootings into a circus by instantly blaming and inadement object. Instead of understanding all the underlying things that lead up to it and also refusing to do the "hard things" to truly try and make an impact on making this less common than it already is. People get caught up in the tiresome arguments on both sides leaving no discussion or conversations about what really would help the problem. In my opinion, we as a society are losing the ability to hold people accountable...everyone else and everything else is to blame for one's actions. More importantly, we as a society stopped teaching our kids self-accountability and taking responsibility for their actions. Just one poor mans opinion.

If Wisco only could have been able to keep Burwick....oh wait....

Holy mountain out of a mole hill thread.... @Jason Bryant was spot on in his post.

Agree....EXCEPT...I just have to point out that in an argument you instantly lose credibility regurgitating the tiresome "the founding fathers had muskets and not AR15's". You do realize that when the 2nd was written, EVERYONE had muskets, which includes the government, military, and the British?? That incorrect argument you just spewed only holds water if our military still only had muskets. Our military has FAR more advanced weapons than the general population, so an AR15 is something that we SHOULD be able to own as a private citizen to uphold the intent of the 2nd amendment...especially considering an AR15 is no different than most other rifles except how they look...and people like to use AR15's as a talking point due to ignorance about guns and as an emotional heart tug when the facts are not convenient to them and their narrative. People would be more sincere, if they just said they don't understand or have guns and just don't like them.

I agree that one school shooting is to many. However, you fall short by blaming an inadamant object. People kill people...people who want to kill people will find a way to kill people. The root cause to the problem is not ban guns, but fix people. The problem with that, is it is EXTREMELY complicated thing and nearly impossible to do instantly. Not to go down another rabbit hole but to me the root cause is parenting and societal norms. Anyway, back to the gun debate...I am a gun owner, I believe in the 2nd amendment and not the basterdized emotional nonsense about it that the media and political talking heads try and twist what it says and means; however, I am also for sensible gun laws and background checks...not that I think it will reduce gun violence but it is a great responsibility to own one and it should be treated as such. Our great FREE country was founded on these principles (the consititution) and we wouldn't be the best country in the world without sticking to them. Do we have problems as a country...ABSOLUTELY...do we have a troubling and disturbing past...ABSOLUTELY...but we always have learned, adapted, and gotten better....hence we are still far and above the best country in the world. And the great thing about our country is you can come and go as you please...and I don't say that with the attitude "if you don't like it hear get out of the USA"...I say it as how great it is that we have that FREEDOM! Funny how people want to take some of that away. Anyway, again back to the topic, people tend to be WAY to emotional and uneducated (in terms of guns) to be able to have an open and honest discussion about it.

Your take is fair. Just saw it differently then you is all. And I am not necessarily a PSU fan...it's more of I just don't dislike them I guess. But I will admit I do not like the Hawkes (more so the Brands)...but do some of their wrestlers, like Lee.

Perfect Analysis!

Why would people expect Lee to get a standing O? I am a huge Lee fan, but I wouldn't have gave a standing O to Lee but rather to the backup of the backup who didn't get pinned.

I found it ironic that the "yell stalling every two second Hawkey's" were the ones stalling in almost every match. People can try and put lipstick on this pig, but Iowa stalled to keep this dual close...PSU clearly is the better team...period. Lee is my favorite person to watch wrestle and even he shouldn't let that match go to tech fall to a backup of a backup. Brands stalled to a close decision...and while the score may have been "close" he was NEVER close to winning that thing and stalled the whole time...so did about 3 other Iowa wrestlers. What I noticed having watched a lot of college wrestling, including Iowa, is they wrestled last night not to lose as opposed to wrestling to win, which I have never seen an Iowa team do before...well except in the NCAA tournament.

Weird...didn't know the definition of trolling is making sure someone's b.s. and hypocrisy is called out...learn something new every day I guess.

Freaking got dizzy...I like something Mikey wrote....

Funny he quoted someone else and made a response to you...sort of loses it's...well...everything.

Irony coming from the guy that posts links from absolutely laughable sources...how about read the content and make the decision for yourself before you just dismiss something because you don't like where it is coming from.

Exactly!!! Funny how that works. Also funny how much people care more about the life of a convicted killer/pedophile/rapist/etc. than the life of others who have not done any of those and even maybe were on the other end of the sick individuals. Just don't get how much effort and care people put towards these sick individuals than they do for the victims and their family's. All I have to say is if someone did this to someone in my family it wouldn't need to go to court.

I'll leave the speculation up to the Brands and others on here about his overall greatness compared to the Ruskies...but what I will say is he is one of the best in the NCAA's that I have ever seen. Even wading through all the nit picking that some on here like to do, to see him dismantle Top 10 competition like he is is once in a lifetime stuff...much like watching Cael. My prediction on the international front, he will win a gold or two and be done, again much like Cael, and then take over the Iowa program. Despite loathing the Hawks, Lee is someone I would pay to watch.

Hello Pot...meet Kettle I admit I am, and have been annoying as possible to you in order for you to feel a lot of other people's pain they get from reading your drivel and personal insults when you realize you are either wrong and/or a tremendous hypocrite.

Google "reading comprehension" and then find someone to help you read it.

Looking in the mirror while typing again Mikey? And thanks for confirming you can't hold partisan opinion on people being held accountable. Own it, instead of personally attacking someone who calls you out on it.

Instead of obsessing about the death penalty and infering someones personal opinion on it, what is your answer to the problem with people like Salas and the policies in Illinois?

Are you asking me, or yourself??

Agreed...to bad you can't hold this opinion about every R and D, or which political party a person supports.

Tennessee has a wrestling program??

Glad you FINALLY got it after asking like 10 times....keep on keeping on Jimmy!

So why is Kerk ahead of Cass??
