  1. Reb, don't expect a response to that question. I asked a fair question the other day wanting to know what the end goal was for all this segregation talk and I got no response. If those people on this board really cared about improving racial relations, they would want to engage in a dialogue. But no, they don't really care about that.  They just want to spew idiotic comments that further separate the races.

    I have no dog in this race, so I am unbiased, but this video doesn't convince me it was a strike or a ball. It wasn't a great angle to decide.  Assuming the ump is set up looking over the inside corner, it appears that the ball could have been a bit inside. Maybe?? I don't know(I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt).  The CS kid should have never been taking a pitch that close with two strikes.  I wonder mentally how much this affected the next pitch? Irregardless tough break BC and it looks like you will be the team to beat for the next few years. Good luck.

    To my black friends on this site, please tell me what the end goal is to all of this?  Do you want to segregate society again?  Do you want to pay back the white man?  What is the end goal?  Please tell me because I honestly can't see what it is.  If it is something relevant and necessary, I can get behind you and support your cause, but this stuff just pisses me off and hardens my heart to your cause.

    I don't bother debating politics or religion, both are debates that never get resolved, but stereotyping all Muslims based on the actions of a few idiots isn't the right way to go. I'll just leave it at that.

    Wrong. How did I label all 1+ billion muslims? I just said that it didn't surprise me based on my experience. I have lived in one Muslim country and visisted many others. In those Muslim cultures women and children(especially girls) are held in pretty low regards. Lastly, where are many of the terrorists coming from? They are coming from the countries that I have mentioned. Thus, it doesn't surprise me at all that a Muslim would do this.

    That's can work in small communities but not big ones like Houston Dallas etc etc. Welfare is like a addiction you can't expect someone to go cold turkey overnight. You have to wing them off with alternatives. That's the only true solution. Just randomly cutting won't help anything.

    I agree that welfare is an addiction and I agree cold turkey isn't the best way to handle the problem. It should be phased out over a short period of time. I do believe that charities can care for those in need in big cities. Big cities are just a bunch of smaller cities closely packed together. I also like the fact that people could choose which charity to support rather than the government deciding for them. When people choose one that they care about, they are more willing to give more.

    This is sad

    No. Not sad. In my opinion it doesn't go far enough. The government shouldn't be in the entitlement business. I believe that those in need should get help from charities such as the church or other local entities. They have a much better idea of what the needs in a community are.

    That's cool.  Where do you get item 3?   I seriously haven't seen that.

    Obama routinely shared classified info with other countries throughout his tenure. Most times in an effort against global terrorism. Biden outed Seal Team Six after the Bin Laden takedown. Iran was leaked info on an Israeli cyberattack on its nuclear facilities. Obama had to pardon a top general over this classified leak. These things do happen. It's just that Trump is under a totally different microscope than previous administrations. Some of it is his own doing, some is partisan politics. 

  8. It's funny that McCain is the topic of this conversation because he is exactly what is wrong with Washington. Career politicians are the problem. I believe most run for office with good intentions, but after a while become engulfed with the power that lies in Washington. I have always strongly supported term limits. Go serve your country, then go home. McCain should have went home 25 years ago. 

  9. Big Girl, Why do you hate America so badly? There is not a single person on this board who would say that there are some dark times in our countries history, especially with the issue of slavery. However, there is a reason America is the best country in the world. You may not have travelled abroad, but I have. i have been to many countries on many continents and I can say without a doubt, that America is the least racist country I have ever lived in or visited . America gives its citizens more opportunities than any other country I have been to. But yet, you dwell on some issues in the past and refuse to have honest conversation about issues today. Why not celebrate the progress that has been made and fight for your beliefs with an open mind.
