    The college protests are mostly young herd animals and other anarchists.  Do you dispute this?  Do you honestly think that the majority of them are educated on the history of this situation? That's silly.

    Apparently each generation needs to experience the reality that is that the Gazans are a collection of warlike tribes who have no interest in peace, and instead eschew 2-state solutions and elect terrorists intent on killing all Jews. Which is why each and every Arab country says no focking way to letting them in.  But the current generation knows better, it's Israel's fault.  Rinse and repeat.

    Congrats, you've sidetracked an attempt to point out why people support Trump.  :thumbsup: 

    I don't have a roll call for those protesters, or their true education about Gaza or Isreal. I don't truly know what is going on there. the writer by that point in the article had already made a number of slanted remarks about what the left and elites wanted, such as the impulse control comment. I will go back and reread all, and in full. more later..cheers jerry.

    This?

    He's saying the protesters are young herd animals who belong to the "anti-capitalist" left.  And this is close to "where was Obama on 9/11"?  Sorry but that's crazy.

    Please don't make me post videos of idiots from the Left from "on the street" videos, I'm hoping to have a serious discussion.  

    its the same as in its not serious. that you think its the basis of a series discussion is silly.

    I like you wiff, you know I do, but why are you posting this pablum here?  I'm hoping to start some serious dialog, and perhaps educate folks like yourself why Trump is popular with so many people.  Not a curated set of idiots.  :thumbsdown: 

    when I got to "who are the protesters", it was hard to take this seriously. its closer to where was Obama on 9/11 than you think.

    I understand she rolled her ankle last night but man she is not HER.  She may have been her in college but in the pros she is avg at best. 17 points a game and leads the league in turnovers? She had to come out firing for people to keep the interest. The WNBA is proving to be way harder to play against than girls who will be doctors, or teachers or moms 3 months from when you last played them.   If she can not avg 25-30 a game she is not a star. 

    seriously, she has had 3 games now. Get it together.

    also, dont delete this thread.

    Because they all want to be Vice-President? 

    Oops, excuse me I just assumed, reading the thread title, that you were referring to the clown GOP politicians attending Trump’s trial and them giving absurd press conferences. My bad.

    I have been to three PGA Championships and arrived early in the AM on Friday for each. I like going on the second day as you know who the leaders are at that point in time. 

    On a NORMAL day, it's chaotic around the entry gate. There's security everywhere and traffic is being routed all over the place. It's confusing. Add to that this morning that it was still dark and it was raining. 

    This is a gross overreaction by officers on the scene. The whole incident is understandable and I can picture how confusing it would be for a player given that it's generally a chaotic entry to majors to begin with. Charge him with a traffic violation and let's get back to golf. Orange jump suit him? Good grief. 

    like a previous event, I would say the officers acted a little stupidly

    With most of her points coming when the other team stopped pressing her after the game was out of hand she was  5-15 from the field and 4-of-11 from behind the arc. for 20 points and TEN turnovers in a loss? Hey there Tim Tebow. 

    :rolleyes:

    Makes you wonder who thought it was racist and wanted it change in the first place, who is this ahole group ? Also like Wee said Washington caved rather quick on it, anyhow good post Easily.

    The name was opposed by the National Congress of American Indians. There were plenty of polls that showed over 50% of Indians found it offensive. It was not a quick decision, the idea had been around for a long time. Personally, I didnt care, saw the name as an honor.

    I did answer your question.

    We may disagree on the initial change, but I infer we find common ground on the change back at least?

    No, you didn't answer my question. 

    This was the quote from the article.."I am a Black student, and if the names are restored, I would have to represent a man that fought for my ancestors to be slaves," one student said in a direct appeal to the board members, later adding: "I think it is unfair to me that restoring the names is up for discussion."

    I asked you...This kid has a really good point..what do you think of it? 

     

    to your last point that I bolded..we do not, and I am starting to wonder if your reading comprehension is challenged.

    You and I clearly agree.   

    It was a waste of time and effort to change the name in the first place, and its perhaps an even worse waste of time to change it back.  This was my position from the jump.

    I think those changing it back are just pushing back against people changing things.  There are those who insist on changing, and there are those who insist on NOT changing. 

    IMHO.....they are both focking stupid.

    we don't agree. I support changing the name initially. The idea that anyone would name a high school or just about anything else after Confederate leaders is a joke. They are an embarrassment of history. Honoring them in anyway is an embarrassment to the community that does so. 

    You are just not going to address the question you have been asked though huh?

    I think this notion of renaming schools, tearing down statues and recreating mascots is indicative that people are running out of ways to suggest racism is real, so in a sense I see it as a win because it could be the harbinger of the end of the whining and a shift toward just living life.   So is a net positive IMHO.

    None of this silliness amounts to anything other than wasted time. Time that could be spent improving things that deliver value.  But if this is how they want to spend their time, let them have at it.  To me its the same thing as people drinking alcohol to "feed better", in the end it wont give then what they want.

    you ignored my question. this kid laid a very reasonable reason to change the name from the traitor that it was named after. there is no good reason to spend any time to restore the name to said traitor. so please answer the question below, and what reason do you believe drove the board to change it back to the traitor? (sorry for all the bad English)

    Normally I would agree, but we should correct a wrong even if it's inconvenient 

    things like renaming these high schools seems like an obvious choice. its not even inconvenient.

    Or...the racists were removed.  Time will tell.

    It is a shame that those high schools are named after those traitors. This kid has a really good point..what do you think of it?

    Sounds like some racists found their way back to the board.

    The current members said the 2020 board's decision was made hastily and without appropriate community input. About 80 people spoke Thursday before the board's vote — more than 50 of them against restoring the old names.

    What a debacle. The NBA is such a joke. How does the best team in the regular season lose to an inferior team at home by 10 (heat) and 24 (cavs) in the playoffs :lol: 

    Too much money. They just don't give a chit, 0 pride.

    Just the typical NBA...  Nothing to see here...

    How does a good team lose a game? Maybe the same way a hockey team wins the Presidents trophy and then gets bounced by the 8th seed. Or maybe how the 5 seed played the 6th seed for the World Series last year. shut it you friggen trolls.
