That’s my point. Less viewership doesn’t necessarily mean less market share, which is the number they REALLY care about. If I quit watching, that just means I stay uninformed on local news.

A deep heartfelt thanks for your post. It serves as a reminder to me (and hopefully others) of the gifts we’ve been given through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and our responsibility to share Him with others. Thank you.

What good will that do?

You may not be the only one that has ever made that proclamation! Lol.

I notice you didn’t mention Lumberton or Hardin County…. 😎

Unfortunately, if all the local media have a liberal slant, there’s seemingly little recourse the community possesses.

Why doesn’t it end well? Hospitalizations are way down, and the great vast majority survive. For most, it’s an irritating illness like the flu or a cold that goes away in a few days. I’d much rather have Covid than shingles again. Lol.

Off topic… Back on topic: At Lamar when speaking to us about curfew… Coach Ray Alborn would always say, “Nothing good happens after midnight.”

I have a hard time understanding why this thread still has posts. Not only is this horse dead…it’s been buried, dug up, cremated and the ashes spread over the ocean.

I respect your opinion, I just vehemently disagree with it.

What in Hell are two spirit people? I mean, I read the explanation, and I still don’t understand. Good grief.

My friend, they were politicians. Of course they were crooked.

Yes they do... Watch Dave Chappelle - the "Clayton Bigsby" skit.

If someone is singing a rap song (whether they be white, black, brown, yellow...) and they repeat the lyric "N" as they're singing it, I don't consider them to be a racist...by definition or otherwise. When I read it out loud in a Mark Twain book in the 3rd grade, I don't consider that to make me a racist.

Sure makes a fella wonder…

You said it!

I can promise you, my Dad neve used that word - EVER! You, my friend, might be a little racist yourself to make such a blanket statement based on your thoughts of a person's actions because of their skin color.

But that's not what you said... Disagree. It's the intent in which the word is said. For instance, my mom used to say to me, "Son, if you don't behave, I'm gonna whip your a$$ 'til your nose bleeds." Now, I would not call her a child abuser. The saying was really pretty funny, and we would usually both laugh when she said it. She would have died for me (and almost did), and I knew it. No harm, no foul. Words are not finite in meaning or intent. It's the power "we" give those words that make them what they are in the first place. Personally, if someone called me a cracker or a honky (my favorite) , I would laugh my butt off. I don't give those words any power, so they mean nothing to me, and they sound hilarious.

I totally disagree. If a black dude says it to another black dude like “What’s up man.” (Replace the word man with the slur), are you saying that one or both of them are racists? That’s silliness beyond belief.

You don't necessarily have to shave, you can buy them and give out as gifts. As a matter of fact, I'll take two! 😎

I think you are being unfair, bigoted and are racially profiling a group of people.

I don’t think I spoke for you. There simply weren’t rap videos on MTV spewing profanity, nor was there internet to host such videos.

Most excellent.

No doubt they have heard that type of language in rap music, but I doubt that’s where they learned it. That’s not where you or I learned it along with millions of others.

Winnie has a similar reputation.
