Trump Supporters will turn violent?
Lions Pride 2021 replied to Englebert's topic in Political Forum
Shouldn't you be getting your tiki torch ready for the rally? -
Fact Checking The New Socialist Darling!
Lions Pride 2021 replied to Reagan's topic in Political Forum
If you have ever been to a session of Congress you would know that most of them don't read the bills they vote on. The interns do. The interns and lobbyist write a majority of our laws. This could have been anyone. Remember Rick Perry forgot which agencies he was going to shut down during a debate -

Good thing for me that I don't respect you or your opinion. Get bent, dude. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] If you read my original response I stated that the GOP won't riot when Trump loses. Isn't that your position? Admit it. If I told you the sun rises in the east and sets in the west you would say "nuh uhh!" Like a little kid. You have an aversion to facts. I just wanted to point out that a significant portion of your caucus is going to show its ass this weekend. That group has no problem bringing violence even though white people run the country.

That's why they play. Besides one loss doesn't doom them to second place. I think it's going to a more competitive district than what most people expect. I'm team PA. I like it when they do well. I wish them the very best and will be happy if proven wrong.

Then that says a lot about you, there is a lot of inequalities in our current system. We do have a racist form of government. It was like this even when Obama was president. The original Panthers are not a hate group. The groups today calling themselves the Panthers are listed as a hate group by the southern poverty law center. I happen to agree with that assessment. As for kneeling Kap asked veterans what would be a peaceful way to protest. They told him to kneel. White people get scared when y'all see the fist. All it means is we're fighting to be equal, not to take over and oppress white people. So that's why the fist would not have been a good choice. I never said you had to like the protest but as I keep saying this issue would be dead if the NFL would have left it alone. It was dying out because the owners were going to chip in money to fight inequality. But once the NFL shoved the half assed policy to try to appease the president without consulting them, the kneeling was going to start again.

The Black Panthers are not a hate group. And Black people in this country have never been in a position of power to negativity affect the lives of white Americans.White people control the country. That's the way it's been since it's founding. All black people want is to be treated like white folks. That means don't call the cops on me because I'm in the pool or hanging out on Starbuck. Don't shoot me because you feared for your life. I mean all the mass shooters get taken in alive but a man dies for selling cigs? Come on. Loan us money at the same rates as white people. Fund our schools just as well as the white schools. When we commit a crime don't give us 20 percent more time than white people. Don't pull us over at 10times the rate as white people. Get the picture?

My 2018 SETXsports District picks
Lions Pride 2021 replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Football
WOS has played an equivalent of two extra seasons the past 4 years. And Silsbee is big, fast and deep, something they don't see until they get in the playoffs, non district withstanding. I'm not ready to crown the Tigers champs but it wouldn't be a shock either. -
I was shocked Livingston dropped to 4A. Im okay with it because the travel would have been horrible like poor Cleveland. They'll be better this year. Practice numbers are more like 5A than 4A. They will make the playoffs and probably win a game or two depending on the draw. I expect Huffman Hargrave to be the team to beat. After that it ought to be interesting.

Your actions will always betray you. And somethings are so obvious that a majority of decent people will agree that it is in poor taste. I gave you the definition of racism. No one said anything about what you believe, so why you in your feelings? Do you not agree racism is bad? According to various studies upwards of 11 million Americans subscribe to the beliefs of the alt right. If you were a member of the alt right I hardly believe you would waste time here instead of being on 4chan and stormfront. I've been on those sites those people are true degenerates. In all cases of people that are in the alt right, they all are Republican supporters. The president has embraced them from time to time. He's not the first racist president and probably won't be the last. But he's the first in nearly 60 years to just openly embrace it. -
Porter. Lessor teams have knocked off Port Arthur in the past two years. And with the new coach, I don't think they get out unscathed. I like the Titans but count me skeptical of them being undefeated.

You're exactly right. The NFL players are much more effective to bring awareness to the problem.

I'd join her. I'm down for the cause. Besides, she'll get up as soon as the anthem is over. Oh nevermind, they don't play the national anthem before every meal at restaurants. This is a false equivalent. The reason why they are kneeling is because they're famous and it will definitely attract attention. As I stated before, had the NFL just left this alone or just had a better relationship with the players, this would have died out. The teams kowtowing to the president gives the players all the more reason to keep kneeling because that idiot has dog whistled them. I never said you have to like it; but the point of a protest is to inconvenience the people who can make a change.

Ok Mr Farrakhan is an anti Semite. Ms Jeong was joking about living in a system that minimizes the accomplishments and opportunities of people of color and women. Robert Byrd would be a republican by today's standards. [Hidden Content] Per Mirriam Webster Definition of racism 1: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2a : a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles b : a political or social system founded on racism 3: racial prejudice or discrimination If we were to examine the foundation of this great nation you will see that part 2 of fits us to a tee. We still have not addressed these issues. Why the so called alt right is so Angy I have no idea. The country is still structured to support and nurture them. They're idiots. No one is taking their rights away. However they have the right to express their dumbass ideas as long as they do not harm anyone. They haven't proven they can do that yet. [Hidden Content] -
The Chron is picking Port Arthur to win. I think most on this site believe that to be the case. I do to but I don't think the Titans sweep. [Hidden Content] Thoughts?

It's to bring attention to police brutality toward the black community. Kap never really said he wouldn't kneel if he was signed but he has brought attention to the subject and has poured millions into the cause. It would have died down had the owners not kowtowed to the celebrity in chief. His words make this an easy way to shoot him the finger on national TV. If the owners and players were truly partners this wouldn't be an issue. You don't see this in the NBA. This is the NFL fault for bungling this by being heavy handed with the talent.

Forcing people to stand for the anthem is the anthisis of what the country is supposed to be based on. Freedom of speech. You don't want to live in a place that forces patriotism. As for honoring the flag. If you have a flag t shirt you are violation the flag etiquette. It is not to be worn as an adornment. If you're not standing when the anthem come on TV well then you aren't very patriotic. The players have a right to kneel and you have the right not to like it. That's how it's supposed to work. But they are not protesting the flag or the troops or whatever the celebrity in chief will say this afternoon. The best thing the NFL can do is go back to the old policy and keep the teams in the locker room until kickoff. Better yet quit playing the anthem period except for the super bowl.

Why would they turn violent? Is the rest of the GOP going to go all in on the so called "alt-right" kick? That's only about 10 to 15 percent of the party. They'll be out in force this weekend making asses of themselves. As the old adage goes, not all Republicans are racist but all racists are Republicans. -
He's only opposed to it if you come from the wrong parts of the world. Otherwise it's fine.

We'll see them in a scrimmage in two weeks. Ought to be fun.

I would venture most of the people teaching at the school are locals. No one is moving out there for that low pay. We need to fix school financing so small districts and the children in them don't get left behind. Our future success as a state and country depends on an educated workforce.
-
Yes that was sad they left but they do fit in the SEC. They paid a lot of money for Jimbo. I hope it works out for them. For what it's worth, outside of Alabama, the big XII is much more exciting and competitive. The SEC bores me to tears.

Your comprehension is bad. The links I pointed you to answered those questions if you took the time to read.
-
Then your comprehension is bad. See you on the field.

Kevin sumlin was bad at his job. I don't know if Jimbo is the man, but the Aggies have had a hard time since firing R.C. Slocum. AM is a school that should be happy to win 8 or 9 games most years and get lucky every four years with a 10 or 11win season.

I like discussing ideas. Just not with people who's minds are made up and are not bright. This has truly been a a waste of time. I feel dumber by replying to your inane messages. When you point out something that is factual I have no problem agreeing with it. You do not extend the same courtesy. So I'm just going to leave this alone.
