I'm in the military. It's sooooo hilarious when the anthem is played at 8 in the morning and at sunset. Everybody (including so called patriotic white men) go running into the building so they don't have to stand and salute outside :lmao2:I speak what I know. Fake *** clowns

That's your response?

Confirmed: Clueless

Challenges his claim of "liberals" can't form an opinion on sports, and gets a response about physiological behavior from a right wing publication.

Oh the irony :rolleyes:
This is my response to being called "clueless" and a "self righteous jackass".

All for making a joke.

Clearly....you display some of these traits. Hence why i posted the link. Also...does it matter where the information comes from if is true? It probably didn't bother you much when it was cited 40 times incorrectly in the other direction by pyschoes lol

You were called clueless for you statement. So you post a link because you were called out. I never made a statement about the other direction you did. I merely used your logic and said see how silly it is? But, please tell me more about my traits. Clearly you're Defense mechinicsim is to try and prove that "liberals" or people who do not agree with your views have some strange personality trait. If you can't see how weird that is I don't know what to tell you.

It's funny you claim it as a joke yet there was no joke in there. Maybe try better at sarcasm before lumping an entire group of sports as people who can't form and opinion on something. I promise you won't be called a self righteous jackass

Guru, THIS is the biggest problem of all. You have a sport that is PREDOMINANTLY black and many of its members feel a certain way about a certain situation. Along comes a group of PREDOMINANTLY white people (including the owners) telling that group of black players that the manner in which they are exercising their lawful rights is not tolerable in THEIR eyes - because of the vessel that players chose to initiate their grievances. YET, as a military person, how often do you see these same "patriots" disrespect the flag themselves? I'm sure you have access to the US Flag Code to let them all know that hanging the flag over their fence, or back of their truck is DISRESPECTFUL OF THE FLAG.......as is wearing US Flag clothing or using the flag in advertising......I'm sure you could add a ton of info to this. Thanks for your service to this country.....and continue schooling folks on what real Patriotism is.

I stand with the NFL players quest for

EQUALITY

Stop the over representation of SAMOANS in the NFL.

The Affordable Health Care Act was branded Obamacare purposely to vilify it to those too uneducated or stubborn to realize it was (mostly) good for you.

What most people don't know is that, in 2018, if ACA stands, everyone's guns are getting taken away.

You didn't really provide any information.

Black people kill black people an extremely high rate. The rate is about 700% the rate that non-blacks kill anybody.

About 8000 black-black murders per year compared to less than 30 unjustfied killings by police.

Blacks are 13% of the population but commit over 50% of murders. That's a staggering ststistic.

Why are there no protests about blacks killing blacks? Black men are about 700% more likely to be killed by another black man than White men are to be killed by anyone. The unjustified police killings are 1/10 of 1% of the total of blacks killed.

Does anybody care about the black kid growing up in the hood? That kid has a high probability of being killed by another resident of the hood but he is more likely to get hit by lightening than to be unjustly killed by police.

Kaepernick cares more about getting attention than he cares about that kid. Other "leaders" get rich and famous pointing the finger at police. Meanwhile nobody is helping lower that kid's chance of being murdered. In fact there protests correlate with a huge spike in black-black murders.

You can beat your chest all you want and focus on opportunists like Hansen who care about getting attention, but from a practical aspect you're likely increasing that kid's chance of being murdered if you support the protests.


X, you can spout the I didn't produce facts thing all you want. As a well-off black man in this country, I work with a couple of my best friends in numerous outreach groups to young, black kids in our area. We know the deal in our community. And, while it may not be reported everywhere, everyday on the news, there are many people protesting what ails many in our community.

But, what you and many others are turning a blind eye to is the FACT that, no matter how you try to paint the US after the election of a black president is that white people in this country are STILL treated more favorably than their black/brown counterparts. You can pull all the "data" out you like. I see you said Kap doesn't care about those kids. Have you even been following all of the outreach work Kap has been doing in this country and abroad for black people? Google it.

I'll ask the obvious question - are you white? If you are, please stop trying to tell people that you OBVIOUSLY have no clue what it's like to have ever been in their shoes how they should be conducting themselves. If you are white and still can't see that there truly is a white privelage in this country (especially in the Judicial System), then you have blinders. Just look up the last couple of college rape cases where the perp was white and how the judge essentially said that putting that kid in jail is going to ruin his future. Now, find similar cases for a young black/brown male and ask yourself why the same conclusion wasn't reached. Again, if you don't see a difference, you never will and THAT'S what people are protesting.

Dude this affordable care act has driven up my premiums like crazy. My girl wanted to get her prescription filled and it went up from $35 to $500. My therapy used to cost $35 per visit, now costs $225.

It's crazy. My family healthcare was cheaper, with more options prior to this Obamacare.

Yea I know it was not perfect and the price of coverage became ridiculous but a lot of the things in place outside of pricing was really good for the people

Not one good thing happened for me. Only severely bad things.
I can no longer get treatment and the pain is so terrible that I have to live with it every day.

Can't see a therapist for rehab anymore and can't afford the medication. I'm pretty much screwed. Thanks government for slowly killing me

Naw I actually need physical therapy for a torn Achilles and a second surgery on it.
Not against weed. It's good for pain management but it's just going to mask the symptoms instead of fixing the actually physical problem.

:thumbup:

All good though. they need give me the medical care I had 6-7 years ago
