Why is somebody who doesn't drink the right person? Yes-at least they did a decade ago.

What point are you trying to make? If all water vapor stayed in the atmosphere instead of coming back down to land as rain/humidity, we would be totally screwed. CO2 is kind of hard to get back to earth once it's released.

There could be many reasons. 1. Differences in the way the scores are scaled (I'm sure this factors into it significantly). 2. More low-scoring people taking the test now than before, not because the average person is dumber, but because taking the test itself is encouraged. 3. More affluent people opting to take the ACT instead of the SAT. Also, if you go from 1972 to until today, the scores look fairly similar..I don't think much can be taken from seeing the average be 500 one year, 495 the next year, and then 510 a different year. That's a 1-2% difference.

There's no question about it at the top level because there's just much more competition now. It's like comparing any sport in the 1980s and 1990s vs today. Sure, the NFL/NBA/MLB all were more gritty back then, but the competition is significantly stronger now. The SAT has always been an easy test once it became widely used. You can't have a test that is meant for every high school student to take unless it is easy. It's not meant to be difficult-that's why it only covers math through algebra. I guarantee you that the AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C, AP Chemistry, Sat Math section II, AP US History, etc are still very difficult tests.

Despicable action. This guy should not be wrestling in the NCAA anymore. End of story To the legal minds of the forum-is Northern Colorado potentially financially liable for continuing to send this guy on the mat? Obviously, if you are injured wrestling that's a down side of what everyone signs up for. But not a case where you have somebody who is known to go beyond the rules of the sport-and has repeatedly done so- to inflict injury. Is this a situation that will go to court? Should Northern Colorado have known not to let this guy put on their singlet? https://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/sports-violence-lawsuits.html

If they start to complain, Brands can just go into his "you have to earn it" spiel.

Something else to think about… If you’re the Iowa AD and your football team just had a very strong season (the main thing you’re judged on), and you have what will be one of the biggest stories in sports in March with Caitlin Clark, do you really want to risk it with wrestling?

If all he did were goofy antics on the mat, sure I'd agree. But given the past accusations and the actions he's documented to have done (with his driving and guns), I don't think he should be on a college campus. There could be a number of people negatively impacted by his presence there... and for whose gain? Our entertainment?

Hi, welcome to the message board.

You keep posting that this vigilante approach solves the problem, which sounds tough on the internet, but in reality those people would go to jail too. I don't see you volunteering for that, and most people wouldn't either, which is why your solution doesn't work. Travis Bickle isn't going to help. There is already a blueprint to stop this, which is the legal system. And yes, civil and criminal cases have impacted the way organizations like the catholic church, boy scouts, and schools/universities deal with abuse. So the only way to actually solve this is to ask first of all if the people who are profiting can be held criminally and civilly accountable under current law. And if not (as is the case for not being able to sue Youtube and other corporations profiting), work to change laws.

Not if he does at Iowa what he was accused of doing at OSU. Then they have a lawsuit situation for bringing him on campus and will all get fired.

Yeah I know. My post wasn’t clear. I wasn’t asking what part of the law protects YouTube from liability. I’m asking why it is still such a blanket protection.

Youtube tells you exactly where your videos are embedded as a content creator. All law enforcement would have to do is 1. get that info from youtube. 2. Search this person's computer and internet history to show he's posting stuff there. The real question is why doesn't youtube do this and then report it to law enforcement? Why has youtube allowed this crap on their website for so long? And why can't parents sue youtube for hosting the content and profiting off of it. Yes, Youtube has made money off of this sick shit, but for some ***ducked** up reason isn't allowed to be held accountable for it.

So they're saying he's likely to be an Iowa student-athlete. Good reporting SHP

Good ideas. This is only going to be stopped by updating the laws (both criminal and civil). You don’t need congress-do this at the local level too. The video quality is definitely part of the problem. YouTube has been around for 20 years.

It was always burning, since the worlds been turning

How many of those guys faced sexual battery charges?

Do they currently live and train in Des Moines? If yes, he needs to go because he already brought them in regardless of whether they are wrestling unattached. If no, I agree.

I knew the name was Rodriguez, so I googled it. I’m not that good.

My point is that no community is immune from this behavior and people will defend those who do it in all those communities. It is a big problem that needs to be addressed. And yes, legal action is the best way.

C.J. Rodriguez. I don’t think he was dqd but opponent was awarded a point. Took the case to court, but lost.

Climate change isn't complicated at all. All you need to do is read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect. The simple explanation is that some gases absorb infrared radiation released by the earth and release that energy as vibrational energy that then heats the atmosphere. This is directly measurable by simply doing IR spectroscopy of gases like CO2 (vs O2 and N2). Here is the key paragraph: The wavelengths of radiation emitted by the Sun and Earth differ because their surface temperatures are different. The Sun has a surface temperature of 5,500 °C (9,900 °F), so it emits most of its energy as shortwave radiation in near-infrared and visible wavelengths (as sunlight). In contrast, Earth's surface has a much lower temperature, so it emits longwave radiation at mid- and far-infrared wavelengths (sometimes called thermal radiation or radiated heat).[6] A gas is a greenhouse gas if it absorbs longwave radiation. Earth's atmosphere absorbs only 23% of incoming shortwave radiation, but absorbs 90% of the longwave radiation emitted by the surface,[9] thus accumulating energy and warming the Earth's surface. All the data collected by climate scientists only confirms what is obvious, as the % of IR absorbing gases in our atmosphere increases, global temperature will also increase.

Really? There weren't these types of issues in Italian NJ towns from organizations like the Boy Scouts of America or The Catholic Church? What about that coach at Bergen Catholic in New Jersey who was defended even after extremely creepy text messages came out? I have no clue what the solution to this problem is, but it's a huge problem and no community is immune from it. Maybe there can be some type of civil legal taken that can be taken against these people if their actions are not considered criminal? If it's not currently a violation of civil law, maybe we can try to lobby states to pass laws limiting how video content of minors is shared?
