Thanks.

Can you try and make it a little less provocative? For some reason this post reminded me of the guy Tom in Its a Wonderful Life who said "ILL TAKE TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO DOLLARS, AND TWO HUNDRED FORTY TWO DOLLARS ISNT GOING TO RUIN ANYBODY!" How about "storming the capital is worse than looting a Target"?

Sorry, I fixed it.

I was just about to go in and delete this thread, and decided I wanted to give it one last look before I killed it. What I saw really shocked me, and restored a sliver of faith in our future. Upon further review, we seem to agree on a hell of a lot of things. Leaving out why you think that the other side is terrible, and your side is right, can anyone dispute the below points? 1. The Bills are an awesome football team. 2. As a species, we should be beyond the point where we result to rioting and looting. 3. We are all too often rigid in our views. 4. Extremists on the end of both spectrums are bad for the country. @TB Bills 5. People that stormed thru police and vandalized the Capitol should ABSOLUTELY be charged. @Big Blitz 6. We all want American children to grow up nourished, educated, and sent out into the world prepared to be more successful than we are. @reddogblitz 7. What we need is more compromise, and less talk of winning all three branches so 'we can do whatever we want. @SoCal Deek 8. Social media/artificial intelligence is at least partly responsible for this. People get fed more of what they spend time on. They see little and eventually none of what they skip over. Then they see others who agree with their viewpoints. It all feeds on itself. @mattynh 9. Large numbers of people of are incredibly gullible and are being manipulated like puppets. @mattynh 10. Humans are territorial by nature. @mattynh 11. Killing unarmed people is wrong. @Buffarukus 12. Violent protests should be condemned. @Buffarukus 13. All people should be treated equally. @Buffarukus 14. We all need unity and to stop acting like we are supremely correct and the other side is supremely wrong... If you can't do that then you need a good long look at yourself. @Sherlock Holmes 15. Prescription drug prices are priced too high. Lowering of that cost alone would benefit millions of Americans. Health issues aren't respecters of party affiliation. @Muppy 16. A fairer way of parceling out the burden of taxation needs to be enacted. @Muppy 17. Storming the capital is worse than looting a Target. @daz28

I tried. Lets just let this one die, fellas.

Gotcha. So should I just kill the thread or do we need more space to treat each other like a$$holes?

It's the insults, not needed by either side to disagree with someone, nor allowed in the TOS of this board. Save it for the pats fans.

So much for common ground. Can this at least remain a civil thread?

@TB Bills, why are you meh'ing this post? what about it don't you agree with?

Do you think that everything he has done in office is terrible?

I don't really see that, most reps I know generally do not like Trump. The dislike is generally almost as much as they dislike the policies of the left. Almost.

I don't really think that Trump is the soul of the republican party any more than you think Antifa is the soul of the democrats. They both represent the fringe, IMHO.

Wholly unnecessary Isn't that really ALL extremism though?

This seems like a dead end, lol. How about you @Big Blitz. Can you say that we all agree that the people who broke in to the Capitol should be arrested because they broke the law?

Come on, man, try an olive branch instead of a pointed stick.

Again, this is a common ground thread. Lets agree that all extremism is dangerous to society, right? Can you please try to keep this stuff out of this thread? There are dozens of other that are more appropriate.

So why need to add that last part? This is about common ground, please try to stick to the ground rules.

I'm an optimist! So are you saying that extremists on the end of both spectrums are bad for the country, or is it only Trump supporters? And please try to be honest and reasonable.

Only impossible if you have given up.

Hello friends. As an American, I'm almost physically ill at what has happened to our country. I think we can all agree that this @$%^ has gotten out of hand. It seems to me that too many people in this country have decided that their opinions are truths, and that ANYONE who disagrees with them are the enemy. Hyperbole and name calling rule the day, and family members aren't speaking to each other based on their politics. To me, it's time to say enough is enough. If we continue down this path, which we can see is clearly happening even on a football message board, we're pretty much screwed as a society. We all need to try and find some common ground, and since we're all here for the same reason, I think this is as good a place to start as any. So I'll start with a few and things I think we can all agree on, and maybe we can all go from there. 1. The Bills are an awesome football team. 2. As a species, we should be beyond the point where we result to rioting and looting. 3. We are all too often rigid in our views. Please add on if you see fit. Its' gotta be better than calling each other idiots.

I don't know man, he made a good call and deserves some credit. Seems like you are just trying to get us to forget history. Maybe so you get a pass for being so miserable for so long? Its ok, we still love you anyway....

Gotcha, thanks!

Could you let us know if you are able to get any? Wait, were you able to buy 2 sets of 2 seat pods?

What slot is he picking? My group is noon tomorrow. I am not hopeful...

Its 12 hours round trip for me, but I have so much carryover vacation time that its coming out of my ears. I'll probably just crash at my mom's place for a few days.
