  1. in your scenario, the better solution would be to build a wall between civic government and...people. your crusade, insofar as your comments on this message board are concerned, just pays homage to a different god. all the telltale signs of zealotry are there, and it's fascinating that you can't see it. I suppose that's just the nature of being a zealot.
  2. Why would someone need a splinter in the eye for supporting DJT?
  3. This is the sort of thing the Unibomber used to write about back when he was just Teddy from the block.
  4. President argues for equal application of justice. He's a law and order guy, and surely everyone agrees that's good for America.
  5. In the calm light of day, the guy had a shot to catch it but didn't. It's a shame, it was a beautifully chaotic thing to watch unfold, and it sure would have been exciting for the rookie to win one like that.
  6. The league is to blame for certain. High def television is to blame in part as well. Fan expectation is part of the problem. However, in a game with 20+ flags thrown, it's hard to reconcile the tackle up at the helmet on JA and the pass int missed on the Zay drop near the end. The flags were thrown at a rate of one every 3 minute of football. They were calling the game tightly (which should never need to be said) why keep the flags in the pocket on the last series? This was a bad crew yesterday. There are bad teams, there are bad crews, I've never understood why some folks (not you in this case) feel that should be glossed over. Add in the allegation that one of the officials was jawing with Jerry Hughes, it's part of the overall product.
  7. Interestingly, there are only three variations in use in this country today. The British have 5, 6 if you include the old "scratching at the lice under the periwig" trick, but you don't see that much these days.
  8. Thanks for the follow up Boyst. I'm always amazed by how many folks who pursue higher education aren't all that smart, fair-minded or both. I wonder what his feeling might be if his father faced similar accusations and the hospital wanted to disassociate with him? Out of an abundance of caution, just to be respectful to all involved.
  9. Serious question. Did the renowned forensic psychologist offer an opinion on what the appropriate response would be to be accused of attempted rape, organizing gang sexual assault parties and having ones life ripped to shreads in a choreographed national spectacle? A knowing nod? A vigorous but not-too-aggessive shaking of one's head? The pensive bite on the frame of the eyeglass? He handled the usual political back stabbing, innuendo, and posturing with a smile and a nod, but I guess I'm at a loss as to what one should say or do when forces from inside the government conspire to destroy you in front of the world? Personally I think the George McFly "You get your damn hands off her" reply is not strong enough. I always wonder what the people/mind experts think, often followed up with "these people are so full of $#!t it isn't funny". I
  10. I'd say fabricating a story about the lawfully appointed AG constitutes news most would consider fake. So, either the Post story was intentional, or their sources and vetting suck something awful. Either way, Trump speaks the truth on this issue.
  11. My memory for games from the past is pretty bad, though I remember that. You get 4 downs, one of which is used to guve the ball to your opponent if you don't do a good job moving the ball on the first three. Life goes on.
  12. After dinner, did he tell you to fly..fly away little Clarice...? The only way that's not weird is if your name is Clarice Boyst.
  13. I have a much larger issue with the Bush family. Their reaction to attacks (retaliatory, preemptive whatever) on Jeb the Docile were understandable. However, I would assume the friendship with Clinton and Obama Inc would not be possible if they viewed those relationships in the same context. Those individuals ripped, scraped, tore and clawed at the eyes of their other son, leaving a scorched earth in their wake, accusing him of crimes against humanity and of sacrificing American lives for a phony war based on manufactured evidence. Somehow that all seems ok now. Michele an W are fast friends now. Bush the elder and Bill the Humidor guy were part of a coalition of old guys who get each other, maybe brought together by a shared interest in young woman they might put their hands on. So, my read is pretty simple. Establishment is establishment, and you can say whatever you want about whomever you want, because their personal and political ambitions differ slightly but meet in the middle on what can best be illustrated on a Venn diagram of corruption. I voted for both bush, then more bush, but by the time Jen came along, I realized that sometimes too much bush can be a bad thing. I feel dirty just typing this but more the life of me don't know why. That said..HW was unfairly characterized as a wimp, and his service record was impeccable.
  14. Fair assessment. Tom's response really made me laugh, and thought you took the shot quite well.
  15. You were home schooled?
  16. At that time the Russians were not the enemy because Clinton was going to be elected president.
  17. Well, you answered pretty directly. Logic's earlier reference to "smoke" was pretty clearly the set up to his next post which will enlighten all on the "fire". Because, obviously, Russian meddling could only lead to Trump being elected. It's been written and said by so many, for so long, it's either that or yet another campaign of disinformation by members of the opposition party and certain members of the media. As the Russians invented this whole game just a couple short years ago, that simply cannot be true. Come to think of it, Rasputin is murdered, Princess Anastasia allegedly reappears decades later..then 60+ million vote for Trump. How can that be a coincidence? I'm on the edge of my seat.
  18. I'd point to Uber and Lyft as a recent example of government intervention. Taxi =fees, insurance, inspections, medallions, disclosure to pick up passenger A and deliver him to location X. With Uber, that which revolutionized the quick hit transportation gig...= little regulation, little oversight and a whole lot less money to play in the game...all while delivering passenger A and delivering him to location X. The separate & distinct argument that the taxi experience largely sucks aside...it's all about the way the government pulls the levers. It's all about the haves and have nots, and if the government casts a benevolent gaze you way, you soon sit on piles of money.
  19. Darius Rucker maybe. Actually this staff does have a pretty good handle on the defense. I'm in for whatever they think will work.
  20. I don't see any reason why it would not be raised.
  21. A "Guarding Tess" reference. Degree of difficulty on message board: 5.765. Outstanding!
  22. I didnt argue the Fournette should not be arrested. That issue was raised by the other poster. I do not disagree that getting punched can result in serious injury. I also agree that an empty Coors light can likely would not injure you unless you were having a really bad day. I do not agree that a full/semi full beer can that strikes someone cannot cause injury, potentially serious in nature. Finally, I am totally at a loss as to how Fournettes actions with Shaq give the guy in Section 337, Row H, Seat 14 license to toss a beer can at him, even with fournette taunting the crowd.
  23. Ok, I'll take the hit on the Kardashian comment. That was my bad going for a cheap laugh. In fairness though, you went on a rant about Fournette and gronk being douches as if that cancels out the fan behavior. They are not mutually exclusive, and have little to do with the fan's behavior. I sincerely think that type of activity is not harmless. I think it's foolish and when you arrest someone for that sort of behavior it tends to send the right message. I never suggested the jackhole go to Attica, btw, and my assumption would be an appearance ticket would be issued, a little $$$ on the line and a little embarrassment follows. I will say if my son was the thrower, my response would be "Actions have consequences, and thank God no one was hurt.". My father may have been less tactful had it been me. As for the cage match, again, that was more of a guy response to mynperceptiom of cowardly/drunken behavior. We can agree that gronk and fournette are dbags. That's enough for me.
