SoCal Deek

SUNY, you’re clearly an outdoors type. Yes, once again, California’s NATURAL areas are beautiful but that has nothing to do with the man-made environments which are crumbling and utterly filthy. It’s amazing how much it’s gone downhill since I moved away from WNY for grad school. And having just been to Florida a few months ago, there’s no comparison…at least in the man-made areas that I was in around the Orlando metro area.

Interesting Have you been to California in the last ten years? It’s almost unrecognizable. Sad.

NC….if you never talk with someone who disagrees with you then what’s the point of being on here? If I just want to talk to myself I can do that in my cell. 😂

Is there any chance at all that we can stop calling each other ‘cult members’ and ‘commies’? What’s the point of this sort of elementary school rhetoric?

California is NATURALLY beautiful but having lived here now for over forty years I can tell you that the MAN MADE ‘improvements’ are crumbling fast. The once well maintained freeway system is a graffiti and pot hole infested eyesore. The cities are completely overrun with homelessness. And the utility infrastructure is woefully inadequate. In short…to quote Irv…it’s a mess! And anyone who lives here knows it. I appreciate everyone’s responses in Florida but I’ve not met a single Californian who doesn’t come back from visiting there with a similar first impression.

So you’re saying it’s kind of like the Bills working the entire offseason to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs but then never even facing them. 😉

I’ll agree with you on 2020 but not on 2016. If you’ll recall, Trump simply out hustled Hilary down the stretch. She thought she had it in the bag, but she didn’t.

Morning Tibs You can argue with his stance on certain things but aside from all of that, having recently visited Florida and living in California, they’re doing something right down there. California has ‘devolved’ into an absolute dump whereas I found Florida to be clean and extremely well maintained. Both are huge population centers with good weather, but somehow Florida has managed to handle it all without turning into an outright aesthetic sh$t hole. (And from what I understand without a State income tax.) The contrast between the two is incredible and really needs some serious study in public policy.

Funny you mention that. I was watching a bit of the hockey game last night and marveled at the fact that the exact same arena had just hosted a playoff basketball game less than 24 hours before. It’s actually pretty amazing how the arena crew is able to turn it around overnight.

We’ll put you down as a ‘no’ then. Thanks!

And I’d add if they don’t want to use oil…then by all means please don’t. But I’m guessing that each of these protestors consumes more than their fair share of it each and every day.

I have no idea where either of those two play…but since beggars can’t be choosers so …I’ll take it! 👍 “Come on, you Stevenagers?”

Checked it out Brit. In a word….yikes! Makes me so thankful that you agreed to treat me to the game. 😉

I’m sure he’s scared too. Glad you’ve found common ground! 😁

They definitely should have done better, and I’m guessing they will going forward. Whether you know it or not you’re coming across as scared to death that they will. Just saying.

Frank….So your problem is with how MANY not how FEW people wanted to hear from him? Once again….Okie Dokie.

I’m not sure I understand. You call it a failure when literally hundreds of thousands of citizens want to hear from someone running for president? Okie Dokie

I’m assuming you’re under the ridiculous impression that a large number of America’s nearly 1,000,000 annual abortions fall into this category? Newsflash….they don’t! Approximately 95% of US abortions are for women in their twenties and thirties; not even teenagers. And the vast majority of those are for convenience. So yeah….keep prattling on about your ten year old girl fantasy.

And you have a history of being rather odd. Now, do you want to tell me why you are fixated on the sexual status of ten year old girls?

THAT is what your comments are about? I see very little pushback on Trans folks if that’s what you’re prattling on about. I do see concern for irreversible sexuality discussions and procedures being pushed on children who are too young to make such decisions. The two topics are not in any way related.

And you believe the overwhelming majority of abortions are for 10 year old ***** victims? Really now? Can you cite that statistic?

This has clearly become your new go-to line. Do you say it three times before you get up in the morning?

If you’re a general sports fan I highly recommend taking in a ‘soccer’ match on the Saturday afternoon before the Bills game on Sunday. You don’t have to go to a Premier League match…which are generally pretty expensive. The Championship League offers a very similar experience at significantly lower prices.

That’s an interesting twist on it Tibs. I believe most would say that we’ve been defending OTHER PEOPLE’s freedom on the “battlefields of the world”. No?

Now what? Haven’t we always ‘banned’ certain books in school libraries?
