I know, it's pretty difficult to see that I was actually referring to his opinion, that it is derogatory, is lame. I stand by that 100% regardless of who says it. I know that SDS runs this place, but does that mean I have to kiss his butt and agree with everything he says? Stop being a "yes" man and grow a pair. You have a douchy view of what "growing a pair" means. You're in someone's house. They get to set the rules for what goes on in their house. If they tell you "don't piss in my potted plants" and you piss in the plants, that doesn't mean you "have a pair" that mean's you're a jerk. If you think their rules are lame, politely excuse yourself, leave, build your own house and run it by whatever rules you like. Having respect for the owner's rights isn't "kissing their butt", it's behaving decently. You can disagree all you like with respect and politeness, there's plenty of that in this thread. All good.

Not when you have that authority and their opinion differs from yours. I can't stand the N word. How can I listen to rap music or communicate with my African-American friends? Particularly the ones who have recently been released from prison and that is the only word they know, other than the phrase: "you know what saying"? Maybe I should ban them from attending my volunteered classes to help them get acclimated back into society.

Don't they teach Civics in school these days? Freedom of speech and of the press means the government can't go after you for what you say in a public place, or your own property. It has nothing to do with TOS on a private bulletin board or program, and nothing to do with what you can say at work (where your employer may set their own restrictions). 1
SinceThe70s Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 In terms of the Eagles fans behavior, I just came across this article about the rough time Keenums family endured in Philly. The article doesn't offer up much in the way of details but I thought the following was humorous: "In response to the rude welcome they received in Philadelphia, several Vikings fans were reportedly planning to dress up as Uber drivers for the Super Bowl so they can pick up Eagles fans and leave them in the wrong place." http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/vikings-case-keenum-family-rough-time-philly-article-1.3776951

My bad, I didn't know this was North Korea and SDS was Kim Jong-un. I was under the impression this was a discussion forum where people can expresd differences in opinion. Off to the prison camp for me because I voiced a disagreance with your leader!
Buffalo_Gal Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 A quick scroll through the Buffalo Bills twitter timeline shows them RTing tweets with #BillsMafia in the original tweet (mostly by Bills players). I couldn't find it on their media (tweets started by the Buffalo Bills), although I did find out I missed out on a Free Playoff Donut at Tim Horton's on January 5th. On IG (Instagram) there are hundreds of thousands of images tagged #BillsMafia. None appear to have someone setting themselves on fire (although I gotta say I didn't look too hard). It is probably a bit more mainstream than many here would like it to be. In any event, this is SDS' house, and SDS sets the rules.
gobills1212 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Not what I wanted to read while I sit here waiting to see if eating a red velvet donut does what I think it will do.... at least once I have the results there will be something of substance to this thread...

Scott, umm...thanks, I guess? 1
Freddie's Dead Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Is this the same Zolak who cheered as Gronk drove his Barry Bonds arm brace into the back of Tre's head 5 seconds after the whistle? !@#$ him, his apology, the horse he rode in on, and the house he lives in.

Reading this for the second time within this thread makes me hope Zolak has some gambling debts he failed to pay off with the wrong people. I mean we are using the term Mafia, only seems fitting Just now, Mark Vader said: What does bread have to do with anything? Corn bread is great. 1

She would get livid at the mention of Drew Bledsoe. She told me he was rude, ultra demanding, cheap, and tried to get her fired. She said Zolak was banging her roommate, so she got to know him a little bit. Zolak said Bledsoe pulled that **** everywhere That sucks to hear. I went to Bledsoe's winery and he was there. I mentioned I was from Buffalo and he poured my wife and I a glass of wine and talked to us for 15 min. Seemed like a really interesting guy.

Ironic that you don't seem to have a full grasp on free speech yourself. I just asked an actual literal criminal prosecutor if that literal act was chargeable, and they said of course it is criminal mischief.

Well then it sounds like your criminal prosecutor needs and education in freedom of speech. Because quite literally... The literal Act of your criminal prosecutor friend... He needs a little help understanding the law. It is perfectly legal to scream fire in a crowded theater. I will defend that until my death. Perhaps your friend needs an education in law, I can give you my number. Edited January 25, 2018 by Boyst62
