I didn’t realize a billion Muslims read French satirical newspapers either but …. 12 dead people including 8 journalists later seem to have noticed.

Had me until here. You can’t poo poo allegations prior to facts if you take this stance. you can also use the word allegedly.

Good liberals don’t Denigrate other woken or humans. Where do you draw the line that you can say awful things about some people but not others?

What @Gene Mills Fan said. Great idea red Viking.

Pretty insensitive on your part. Also a big win for women.

Just a guess Following a wrestling victory, Aaron Brooks, a Penn State athlete, stated during a post-match interview that his success was due to his Christian faith and thanked Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit . He then added, "...no false prophets, no Muhammad or anyone else, only Jesus Christ himself...". This statement was seen as a disparagement of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad by some. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Philadelphia called Brooks' remark "unnecessary and inappropriate" and stated that while they commended athletes for expressing their faith, it was wrong to denigrate Islam while representing a diverse student body. CAIR encouraged Brooks to engage with the Muslim community at Penn State to build understanding and learn to respectfully disagree. The NCAA also deleted a video of the interview containing these comments from their Twitter feed.

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.

Don’t tell that to Bac. Nothing so far is bad to him. Not the cstar stuff … not Brooks… Gilman. None of it.

I thought I quoted him once saying that. Possibly.

Got him a few small/medium fender amps …. One for this studio he plays in and a bunch of 30 foot cords. Wife thinks it clutters up the living room but I like it. I have a knock off les Paul from my cousin too.

Ha. I can tell he likes it. I’m trying to learn it a little as a front (it’s “mine now”) so when his fingers get bigger it’s his. I fibbed a bit. I didn’t tell him what it was he was like wooooooah that’s a Gibson sg. I should prolly tell him. A life long guitar friend told me about it. It looks cool. Sounds cool. He plays a bunch of sabbath tunes on it. It’s maroon and not black (iommi). im half hippy (dead phish panic umphreys others) half metal / rock (sabbath gnr Metallica etc, 90s grunge) thing is if i push him to a genre he won’t do it. So when he picked all those rock bands on his own and asked to take a guitar class 12/18 months ago I was all for it.

Nice thread. I recently got my son a epiphone sg. Cool fact. He doesn’t know it is his yet. He likes Toni iommi, noodles from offspring and slash from gnr. (He’s 12). He currently plays a small kids starter guitar. He’s in a Green Day cover band.

So which republican did you ever vote for in an actual presidential election.

Ok so I was wrong. Tks

Says on same wiki page ? He didn’t get 1 delegate did he ?

Don’t

How many delegates did he finish with I forgot ?

That was in the arena of my guess. He has never voted for a republican and it is morally disingenuous to pretend he is open minded in this arena. and to pretend he is a real registered republican. Disingenuous

But at some point you voted for a red president right ?

With a non zero inflation # Over time (infinity) billionaires will be the poor. You may have to wait some time but arbitrary “ceilings” are weird in so far as that. remember when Bernie bagged on millionaires …. Given he now is one he changed from M to B. Convenient.

Fair. There are plenty of hypothetical negative stories that could have been written out of happy valley. But I bet flo and rokfin and the others wrote 0.

“Media” was not provided access to him after final x and wasn’t allowed to ask him any tough questions. He gets a pass. If he were Jerome Bettis. Good luck with that.

Name the last red president you voted for. ?
