One mass shooting vs 154. C'mon, try and at least follow along.

I'll fade away. Hope you enjoy life as the actual smug one. You're not interested in fact that disputes what you watch on Fox News. Disappointed to share this fine forum with a low-life such as yourself. You like getting personal, that's as low as I'll stoop. I'll go back to my good life here on the West Coast. You enjoy sleepless nights in your one room basement suite.

Your president has been proven time and time again to be a blatant liar and changes "fact" to suit his agenda. What is this "new hope " you speak of? I have a legitimate question for you. Are you a) a caucasian male who is worried that a hard-working non-US born individual may take your job, b) an extremely wealthy person , c) loyal to the Republican Party regardless of their direction or plan or d) pro life. These are the only people I see supporting or, in the case of option b and d, benefitting from the current regime. You say the economy is doing well, and you are correct from the standpoint of Wall Street. However, is the middle class growing or is the middle class, as we have long known it, shrinking and the wage of those below the top 2% actually shrinking relative to the rate of inflation? Does the average hard-working American have a better life today than they did in November 2016 or is it just the CEO and shareholders of their company. I may not intimately know your laws, but I do know proven statistics and facts. Running a country like a business is idiotic. I own a business. My employees are very important to me, but I also am aware that they are only as important as their performance dictates when it comes to my bottom line. I can , and will both disipline and remove them as it suits my business. They become statistics when it really comes down to it. If you like being a statistic, you are certainly in the minority.

Second amendment rights over the lives of children? I know that a lot of Americans are single-minded when it comes to their right to bear arms. It has to be the single most frustrating thing to watch from the perspective of an outsider. The biggest problem that I have with it is that it is a "right ". Owning something that is designed with the sole purpose of killing another human is so far from a right. It is a privilege. Allowing it to be a right has allowed true pieces of garbage and people who have no business owning a weapon to, as of the end of June, commit 154 multiple person homicides in the US since January 1st. Why the hell would you not see the examples set by other countries, such as Australia who previously held similar beliefs and gun laws, who have set structer gun control laws with immense success? I have had multiple people try and explain it to me and I cannot for a second adjust my thoughts on the subject. Chavez and Castro were not lauded worldwide and I never saw them as heroes. You are correct in that much of this world owes the US a debt of gratitude for its role in peace keeping. However, if you read what I have been stating, my focus has been greatly on the current regime, one that is very much trying to move away from the peace keeping role and has not denied its intent to run the country like a business. Also, as I assume you are literate as you respond to an online forum, you should have read that I have applauded much of what your country stands for on a historical basis but am disgusted by its current division that is only enforced by the twitter-troll commander-in-chief.

I actually applaud that mindset in its basic sense. Patriotism is an absolutely beautiful part of the American mindset. As a Canadian, I very much feel the same way about my country. I never assumed, nor did I insinuate, that I know more about American laws than you do. In fact, intelligent posters such as DC Tom have posed their replies in such a way as to educate me further on some of these laws and the ways in which they are being upheld and their effect on the American public. I applaud this as it a true form of debate. In your retorts, you have done nothing to educate me nor to offer an intelligent point that msy sway me, or a like-minded individual, to your side. Who's smug now? Point taken. JT has had his failures and is doing his party no favours when it comes to the next election. However, Justin has not negatively impacted the perception of his country on the world stage and has been known by his counterparts across the globe as an intelligent, thoughtful and strong leader. By counterparts I do not mean dictators, who are the only world leaders to say such things about Trump. I'd take JT over Donald any and every day.

It's funny that this thread title denoted me as someone who smugly thanks I'm better than Americans when you just talked about American exceptionalism. What in Gods name is that? Sounds like a situation in which that person thinks that Americans are actually the best and superior to others.Sounds like a situation in which that person thinks that Americans are actually the best and superior to others. So, you find it acceptable to applaud the politics of Vladimir Putin and Duterte while diminishing those of forward thinking, traditionally aligned and intelligent nations such as Germany and Canada? If you like being a slave to your master, then you will really enjoy the future of politics if he takes it the way those two took their countries

I will leave it alone, I was just replying to a comment. However, the discussion at PPP is actually just me being attacked. Yeah, I am a liberal, but it's just ridiculous conservatives that have turned the word liberal, which just means open minded and forward thinking, into a bad word.

We definitely take a good amount ( see: Syria and Somalia)but we are not bordering any country other than you. I understand that the crack down must occur, I just 100% disagree with the tactic of separating families. That Is inhumane.

Tactics may be a better word?

I do want to state unequivocally that I never said Canada is better than the United States. What I did say, and this is fact, is that the world is right now judging America based on Donald Trump's politics. If your political views align with his, good for you and enjoy living in that world. However, I am neither a socialist Nor a communist. I just do not believe that the elitism that is being pushed by Donald Trump is Acceptable in the least.

Thankful for being credited and to your quotes. If you are too blind to see the way that the world currently views US politics, then I don't know what to tell you. This is not my isolated opinion. This is one that I share with many many people all around the world. This is not a slight against the 59% of the country that does not support your president. This is an absolute slight against those that do. It is in comprehensible how anyone in their right mind could follow such an absolute moron

Topic?

Really? Meet me at PPP. Both of us, obviously, have differing opinions. We each think the other wrong, but calling mine misguided is where you see a problem in current society. Mine is guided by my opinion in watching the state of us politics and the absolute division of a country not so long ago headed in, what I opine to be, the right direction. I would like to know about where yours is coming from.Many people in the US are following a president who has pushed an agenda favoring the wealthy and a direction towards oligarchy. If you are not wealthy or you believe in the ability for everyone to have an equal opportunity to succeed and not be suppressed by a controlling and dictatorial government/financial elite, I wonder why you would follow him. The physical beauty of my country is unquestionable, but the true beauty of it is its people and our overwhelming belief in inclusion. The second we elect a clown like Trump is the second I denounce us as well.

Seattle, San Fran, New Orleans. Best away game weekends I've had. Didn't catch any flack at any point for wearing Bills gear and actually was invited to hang out and chat football with a massive crew at a lot in San Fran where they fed us and threw quality brews our way. Each city is great for pretty much whatever you want. Looking forward to Vegas hosting a game. That is going to go off!

Awesome! Anything happening pre-game? I'm staying at the Hyatt Regency at this point but might switch. Wish I had found this earlier as I would have gone in on the group tix. Did that a few years back for MNF in Seattle and it was idyllic.

This contract situation is ridiculous with Allen. The options on terms are so minimal on the current CBA. Why is this taking so long? Ugh

I'm doing a brewery tour, as they look to have some really good ones, and the food options also look really good. Other than that, there is a well reviewed contemporary art gallery/ museum and some general walking around that are the other options. I've always found a good Bills Backers tailgate for away games but I haven't even found that yet. Fingers crossed. Edit: I chose Minny for the stadium so I don't think I'll be disappointed regardless.

Go to the opener. Stadium will be at its best and weather is more of a guarantee so you can enjoy all the city has to offer. The Mansion on Delaware is an awesome place to stay. You're going to get a lot of dining/entertainment opinions, but I'd give Lockhouse a try and then head over to the Seneca Casino for an in-town casino. Get in with the crew at Hammer's Lot. They are a good sort and will give you the most authentic version of a Buffalo tailgate with some great people, vets and young'uns alike. Have fun!

Townies may be the most horrific people to have a conversation with evah!

What about Minneapolis/St Paul? Going for the game and not really finding much to do there aside from a big mall...which is not in Minny really... and Paisley Park (Princes house) which is also not in Minneapolis. One of their "must-dos" is a flour production museum. Woohoo!

Huh? Want to be Americans? Hell no. I will 100% disagree with that. I hope you are being facetious. We live close to the border because living further north is generally land where over half year is frigid and the rest is black fly and mosquito infested. In order to live comfortably, the vast majority live along the border. With the ridiculous politics of America, there may be 1% of the population of our country that wants to actually be American. I mean zero disrespect to the US or its citizens with the above comment, it's just facts. 99% of our country thinks your gun laws are ridiculous, your president is a moron and the laws being implemented by this government surrounding immigration absolutely horrific and inverse to everything that your country was built upon. You may have had a decent chance to convince us to join with Obama or if Bernie had been elected, but only a fool of a Canadian would want to give up our medical system and inclusive mentality for the mess that the US is under right now. But still, I like to visit, have many American friends and really like the vast majority of your beautiful country. edit: After re-reading my post, I think it a perfect example of a PPP post. Sorry to any offended.

Musberger is a relic. The guy has been a relic for a decade now and has so many black marks on him you'd think they'd just let that sleeping dog lie. leave it to the Raiders to make yet another bad decision. Mark Davis is too caught up in yesterday to consider that today and tomorrow are really the most important thing.

My funny wasn't as funny as I thought. You are a very serious robot 26 ?

Jude Law might as well have. He is probably as educated on this team as the writer is

At least he cared enough to share. What's your excuse? ?
