Agreed their is a growing middle class, but not near enough wealth after having been in the "Great Society" for almost 60 years now. That is truly what the Democratic party has been doing for 60 years. Opportunity is name of the game, not social media platitudes and garbage photo ops .

Texans and Cowboys players test positive
plenzmd1 replied to Cal's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So, should the season be cancelled because a few coaches are overweight and older? By that logic, 2500 players, i am guessing 5X in coaching in direct administrative roles etc so , plus all the TV personnel, plus all the folks in advertising, plus all the countless 1000s other people affected by a shutdown ...they should all lose their livelihood instead of the high risk people staying home. The good of the 100's is more important than the good of millions? -
Just to play devils advocate..Candace Owens is making a living, and God bless her, being held up as " see, even black people" ...

agreed 100%. Funny story, not quite apples to apples, but will relay it anyway. 25 years ago when i worked for ADP, had a sales call at a small non Profit in DC ..English First. First blush , i thought it would be a "right" leaning place that was trying to make English the official language and hurt immigrants trying to learn ESL and slowly transition to life in the US. And my left leaning self was like " gunna suck selling to these guys, but they have a right to get paid to" Turns out it was a non-profit started by a group of Hispanic Immigrants, and they did want to make English the official language. Their argument was that by providing so much information in Spanish and not forcing people to learn english, it was a detriment to Hispanics advancing in society and perpetually keeping them lower educated and with less economic opportunity. I talked with the director for an hour that day about the mission of his organization, really made me examine lots of what i previously thought.

again, point out my white guilt statements, instanseouly will donate $1000 to your favorite charity...or is it you only know how to parrot talking points with no real thought process
-
Haha..you are such a slow person. Tell ya what, you point out where any statement i have points to white guilt and i will donate a $1000 to your favorite charity
-
you are whatever without a 3rd grade reading comprehension level...acknowledging that racism exists in this world is not white guilt..hard concept for you I am sure...everyone is out to get you!!! Must suck always knowing you are the dumbest guy in the room

This is why you are a knucklehead poster...nonsensical reply...

agreed..and one needs to calculate that risk. At the very least, i would insist on a chemical test in the station....my 60's upbringing may be coming up LOL, but i just don't trust those field breathalyser... and in my case i knew 100% i was not impaired, did all my tests perfectly...why would i consent to a test that could be faulty when i just emphatically had proven i was fine to drive... I contemplated hiring an attorney as i don't think he was legally allowed to restrain my ability to drive home, but decided the money was not worth the point.

couple of things here..hit ignore on this particular poster you are replying to..no meaningful conversation will be had. So don't let him get you fired up. To your original posit..i did not like the poll options. I will watch the documentary, as i watch a ton of documentaries, and form an opinion when I am finished watching it.Certainly not scared of anything, would think i will leran some new things as i am always learning, and may call BS on stuff in their if i see it slanted or not factual. two fantastic docs if you have not seen before https://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Summer-Stanley-Nelson/dp/B00L9WXZ5A And this is one of the most powerful documentaries I have ever seen. Not free anymore, but buy it...the courageousness of the folks who participated in the Freedom Rides is just extraordinary to me. https://www.pbs.org/video/american-experience-freedom-riders/ as a 57 year old white man, the most shocking thing i have heard over and over again is " i had no idea this kind of thing went on"...by so many so much younger than me..I mean, where ya been? Having said that, i am not afraid to call bs, bs. And it can rain BS from both extreme sides..there is a space for debate and nuanced arguments , as well as solutions....s And the race thing is played by both parties. DEmocrats just more open about what they think of black voters. And if you are new here, i am a staunch anti Trumper and will be voting fro Biden( most likely), but think the one area where Republicans have a stronger case for my vote is how they approach issues that affect minorities. Democrats assume only they can help minorities, as the minorities themselves cannot possibly help themselves. I mean if i was a black voter and heard " you aint black if you not voting for me" that would make my blood boil. Did that not bother you?

i was stopped a while back, did my tests perfectly, cop asked me to take a breathalyser so " i could drive home"...he stressed to me like 4 or 5 times if i blew over .08 it would have no impact ...they were not going to charge me based on my field test....yep, had to have my wife pick me up..no way i blowing into that thing. And i think most lawyers now always advise do not blow...just refuse it. he did? How you know that?

I know there was a headline a while back, but that was proven to be a false positive if i remember correctly. -

TEd Cruz I am pretty sure -
well, a non blind one is going to help

I would not go that far...Botterill i know is bad...Adams i have no clue...but can he really take the Sabres lower in the standings than Botts did?
-
and , maybe the heat from the @john wawrow interview dies down a bit now...placate the masses
-
WNY native, long time NHL player..business admin side of Sabres now. BTW, won a Cup with the HUrricanes in 06, so maybe this is the Sabres cosmic offering to the hockey gods that finally gets this franchise back to that spot

Cmon Doc, logically where do we stop this. Person A works in a grocery store, person B comes into store, person B girlfriends father's wife is asymptomatic covid, person B is now asymptomatic positive, ,Person B gives to Person A...and run your scenario from there. Should we require all groceries to be delivered to your home so no one in a nursing ever gets sick again? Tell me where the line is drawn...I am all for a TOTAL lockdown for 3 weeks...and i mean n o one leaves their freaking house, and essentials are delivered ala China...absent of that..we just whistling at the wind We have 4-8 deaths per average in high school football every year...lets shut it down to...forever. As a matter of fact, according to this study football causes detah by ALS and Alzheimer's, so by the logic of "someone may die" we should shut it down, and it needs to be permanent. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/249912 Pretty soon all of your biological and genetic info is going to known in "order to contain the virus"...and then people will really get cranky when they cant get health insurance or life insurance lethal to half of America??? My lord, the panic porn has grown deep in our society. [Edit: please see my response -Hap] we should take precautions...no worries there. But people under 40 die for a ton of reasons, but the infesteimal number caused by Covid is a blip..the vast majority of deaths 10-45 is caused by unintentional injury...so if we all just stayed home forever that would take that away! -

Know it well. Our place is about a block and a half from there, walked by yesterday and they were actually open and have people outside having lunch. I am more of an exile’s guy when it comes to Buffalo Sports, about two blocks over on U Street -

trending on Twitter BTW,apropos of nothing, came to our place in DC last night for first time since late April . We live essentially in area called Adams Morgan, about a mile from White House. So sad to see so much boarded up even up here. Went to dinner last night at a place actually near the White House, protests were two block over.,..not living here full time we just never put two and two togetherr and did not hit us where we were going until Uber dropped us off 3 blocks away as street was closed off with some kind of huge military vehicle. We decided to ga anyway, had a lovely meal outside on a perfect night, surrounded by boarded up buildings. Walked over to the protest for a few minutes after dinner..was more just a big party...and finally got my wife to get a scooter account and ride one home as not a Taxi or Uber to found..well, Uber was around but wanted $35 for a mile ride. She has a great time, and is now hooked ! -

I would love to see those numbers ..do you have a link or remember where you saw them? man, is Cuomo ever getting that love. How i have grown to really dislike that dude. In more news of insanity, daughter just recieved an email fro the president of her school...small liberal arts school in Ohio ..Denison University. Schools opening up two weeks earlier, going through Thanksgiving, not back to mid January. OKay, i can understand that reasoning...think it too early to make the call of 2nd wave quite yet...but I get it. What i don't get is dining halls will all be closed, take out only. Mind you, Denison is 100% on campus living, and only a portion of seniors actually have "apartment" style dorms with a small kitchen in them. 90% of students in traditional dorm rooms. WTF? Even better..all classes are to held outside whenever possible? My daughter is in a science based major...2 labs scheduled for this fall...how in the hell is that gunna work. Cant wait to to see how they enforce parties. No off campus housing, no real bars in town... parties in dorms is the social gatherings they do...they shut that down what is the point to going to school? All this and the overwhelming numbers show almost zero risk to college age kids -
