Yeah but soccer Mom's get a hold of that and foget about it. That being said my 13 wants to play. His mom isn't encouraging it but will support him if he does. This year is gonna be flag football. Kid is 5'8" just turned 13 and solid 160lbs. I have height in my family, I'm 6'1" 200, but I am one of the short ones and her brother is 6'3" and father was 6'5". I expect him to be in that range. His feet are already bigger than mine. Coaches are trying to get him to play. We shall see. P.S. I still play hockey and get hit no and then. Need to learn how to take a hit and be hit. Football is dying because the NFL is boring with too many advertisement timeouts. Not enough continuous play... I can't go to a game anymore. I watching at a bar where there is other entertainment or other games going on. At least I can eat during timeouts. Even at home it gets boring on TV.

No that was the banana slug the Sabres used...

On the 2nd. both are dangerous... generally neo nazi etc thugs are less prevalent except in U. S., where their meth and synth marijuana funding factories and crime syndicates pose a huge threat to US v poppy producing rad islam. On the first, Disagree on Islam in general. They are no different than fundalmental Christians condemning me.. but many are really good people. Arab nationalism is the issue not Islam so I beg to differ on your rationality..,,

Ok that made me laugh . Pot where is that kettle... or there it is!

Just wanted an affirmation that you don't not some passive meely mouthed, I haven't avowed violence... Unless again its protecting your goaltender or capping Tom Brady's knees.

I always protect my goaltender...

Really... how is that different than fascists and right wingers... middle ages come to mind...Balance man, capitalism with a safety net is where I am at. Still haven't see where you disavow right wing violence.

Man I can't wait till hockey season.

really one of you called them communists and had posted pics from who knows where of guys in black carrying communists flags and now you call them socialists... who's the (*^*&%^$^#dc... make up your mind or better yet learn the difference or really because you can't argue logically, so you resort to calling names... pathetic

I dont support them Joe anymore than you support Nazi's... quit it... They are anti right but dont recognize its a circle not a continuum... violent left and right meet on the other side and both are command and control oligops Im sure you can find flags some of them fly and are communists but they are not that monolithic. Either way they support violence as a way to confront what they deem the opposition right. So Joe do you support right wing violence... haven't seen you disabow it only attack the antifas. Really DC you are lumping socialists with communists... common man, like lumping conservatives with neo nazis

No they're not... they are anti establishment... they would fight the communists too.

Antifa are anarchists, not necessarily anti fascist but looking for fights. Dont equate Antifa as pro civil rts just anti government. Surprised you dont like them Joe. Guess because they are fighting your guys...

I don't see a difference other than during Obama, conservatives wing nuts sharpened their teeth in public and now with a bat shiite left over occupying our Presidency the rt wingers have put away their files and the left wingnut bought new ones to better sharpen their teeth. Like a circle #%#! here we go round and round... ack thppt...

Trump is a horses rear end. Even when I agree with him he bothers me. Rule no dont attack the media... talk down to them... crack funny jokes and if you cant smile and wave... Clinton baffled them with stats and stories, Reagan with sharp wit... Bush 1 with dignity, Bush 2 with barroom humor... Trump just pisses people off or get ns people to attack castles with hate in their eyes. He has to find a stick to put off the media... not energize them...

Just figuring that out now? Worst news annnouncer ever..,

Antifa is bad agreed... but so far they haven't run a car into a crowd. BLM agree has some bad actors preying on a movement supposed to be peaceful. Agreed all violence and hate speech should be condemned except as it pertains to Tom Brady... can we all agree on that?

Your new go to retort?

Break a Leg...seriously!

You are an idiot.

. Fine, personal experience though I know there is a lot more too it. But I was an uncontrolled jerk when I was young. Racists on all sides are dangerous and anger in younguns is even more so. The Middle East wars are about race and ethnicity and look at the results. Calling me an idiot is your deal. As a young adult I wasnt racially focused... just pissed off at a World I did not understand and brewing for a fight... any fight. PS didnt say white racists should be shot but go ahead and put words in my mouth. The left wing punk anarchists are getting to the level of right wing guys. Again angry young males looking for fights...and dangerous... Solution.., reprogramming... frontal lobotomies for all and chip shock therapy... serious sarcasm..

Damn we agree on something... just listened to the Guess Who last nite in the ER... " American Woman stay away..."

Yeh he does, that being said the hysteria bubble stems from the fact that no one is listening to each other, not looking for reasonable solutions and just looking for a fight. Happens when there is a leadership vacuum and the current President is a self indulgent psycho who gets offended a the meer appearance of a perceived slight. Trump needs to grow a pair and settle down. And once the dust settles maybe some actual compromise can happen. Ain't gonna happen right now... hence the hysteria bubble...

. I know Im coming into this debate late. And hate speech should never be tolerated. Threats should be actively investigated and punished. But seriously college campuses are so much tamer then the 60s and 70s where cops came on campus to pick fights with the hippies. Again, not to sound insensitive, but this kinda stuff has been going at least since the 60s and its part of the learning process. Protests... protests against protests happen. Young people learning to stick up for themselves. Arrogant proffesors being stupid and not responding appropriately. Meh... let it play itself out. The one thing I will say... the mellenials have a long way to go before they understand what hard work is all about. Have a 13 year old, good kid but a definite mommas boy. On the race side of things. I've seen a bit of both sides and White anger just scares me... black anger is tough but can be turned with some respect and inclusion. White anger at that age is directionless or directed at whoever is in the way. PS I was once an angry young white male... Now just an old fart who plays hockey and takes my aggression out on the ice. Again just my observations.

Hence why I am no longer YellowLinesandArmadillos to quote a infamous Congressmam from Texas

Slow day at work, just felt the need to poke the bear. It's an itch that needs scratching once in a while, though not as often as when I did this crap for a living. I see this board is still about the same and so much fun... woopie!
