I get it. I am glad your doing well. But its a experimental vaccine with very little liability on Big Pharma & the Government. Hey I hope they got it right. I have in laws that received it. Giving out burgers,fries, and a chance to win a million dollars if you get the vaccine seems like a twisted kinda of weird to me. 

I think Watson is a decent Quakerback.

The topic title is freakin funny! 😂

He was already enshrined in the SETCA Hall of Fame.  Yes, it is a long time coming.

I wonder how expensive it is to go to Texas A&M or Oklahoma? Lol
 

He sounds like a really good kid... you should be proud.  Seriously, though... how does that feel when somebody insinuates that he just got that opportunity because of his skin color?
 
Because that's exactly what you do every time you accuse somebody of benefitting from so-called "white privilege."

Here's the problem as I see it.  
 
You don't seem to have a problem with the fact that most NFL players are are black.  You have a problem that most qbs aren't black, too.  That is a problem in an of itself.  Why does it matter what color a player is?  It seems like you'd want the best man on the field for your team.  If Colin Kapernick had spent more time honing his craft and less time protesting, he might have had a longer career in the NFL.  
I might hurt your feelings here, but I think you need to understand.  Black athletes tend to be more explosive.  They excel in positions that require those abilities.  There are outliers.... you end up with an occassional McCaffree or whoever.  You could further ask how black athletes came about those genetics, and you'd probably get your feelings hurt because it was the result of some fine husbandry work that wrapped up in the US around 1865 or so.  Since then it's just continued in areas where those genetics are still strong.... like out around places like Belgrade, Biloxi, Sandjack, etc.... if you know, you know.  It's also not hard to recognize that most successful black qbs today aren't field generals... they're relying heavily on their athleticism.  Deshaun Watson, Rodney Peete, Jameis Winston, Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson, etc.... they are guys that have tremendous athleticism, with a decent amount of critical thinking.   On the other hand you have guys like Rogers, Brady, Steve Young, the Mannings, Aikman, etc who had good arms but nowhere near the athletic abilities of the first group that I mentioned... they got it done with brain power.  The difference?  The second group are world champions and future hall of famers, while the jury is still out on the first group.   You can dig in and really do some analysis, or you could just complain that there aren't enough qbs "that look like me."
 
Back to businesses.... there used to be a lot of businesses that wouldn't hire based on prejudices.  The history is what the history is.  The problem is that now people actually believe that they are OWED a position based on their skin color.  That's literally doing the same thing.  There's no difference between not giving somebody a chance for a job because they're black in 1957 and not giving somebody a chance for a job because they're white in 2021.  No difference.  It doesn't matter what you're trying to correct or rectify, wrong is wrong.  Here's a scenario... sometimes we have a position to fill at my place of employment and we do our best to keep those positions under wraps because clients like to push us towards hiring people as a "favor."  Daughters, sons, nieces, whatever... the problem is that once you hire this person, you can't run them off if you need to because all you'll do is anger the person who sent the sorry employee your way.  We like to quietly find somebody who's a decent fit and go from there.  Likewise, if you have to pick between two candidates (one being white and one being black), which one is more likely to sue you if you have to let them go?  Do you owe it to the company to protect the bottom line?  It's a situation where trying to fix obvious problems has just created more problems.  It always amazes me.... somebody will sue a "racist" employer for firing them because they're black.... but I guess that they weren't too racist to hire you in the first place, huh?
 
I really felt like we'd made a lot of progress up until 15 or so years ago, but now it seems like the animosity has gotten worse.  It's nowhere near what it was in the 1960s, but definitely worse than I've seen in my lifetime and it's very unfortunate.

Netanyahu: 'We will inflict blows that Hamas has not dreamed of'.
You don’t Jack with Israel.

😁
Don’t Jack With Israel!

Some people need to be infertile 

Great feeling to have the Casa paid for! The only remaining debt we have is our house we built 8 years ago an we are close to having it paid off. I tell my boys all the time when it’s possible always try to pay cash for everything you buy. Debt is not your friend. 

Glad my house is built - AND paid for.  If worse comes to worse I’ll just need to make enough to pay taxes......ummmm, I better find another job.

But no mean tweets to offend the Beta Democrats.

If only we could figure out what happened roughly 100 days ago that emboldened Hamas in such a way.

Facts always point out that liberalism is really a mental disorder.
A dead baby is acceptable as long as it’s a “choice”.

Got a new mailing address - PO Box 1234, Columbus, Ohio 77$$$.  😂

He hasn’t left the house in 17 months?

Tell your world renowned doctors only 287 children have died in 17 months in the entire United States (1/1/20 - 5/12/21). And many of those were children with comorbidities. That’s straight from the CDC who, if anything, would inflate the actual numbers. That’s approx 200 per year. Not giving my child a vaccine.
