You’re really bad at this whole “paying attention” thing. No one here really gives a shit about his character. He could be a saint, and he could be the biggest piece of shit on this planet. Neither one of those excuses or changes the fact that he peddles misinformation/lies either directly or indirectly via his guests who spew bullshit while he just sits there like a bump on a log saying “hmmm interesting.” Whether that’s motivated by a shitty character or profit motive or identity politics or whatever really isn’t the point and I’m not about to let myself dabble in that pseudo-psychology falderal. What I judge him on is the output of his show, which contrary to what you believe, is not contestable. He peddles bullshit, and when he doesn’t, his guests peddle bullshit. People are free to make whatever comments about his character either way, but 1) it’s dishonest to assert baseless speculation as if it were a matter of fact 2) the aforementioned things are exactly what he does. So nice try at that little “gotcha.

That's a nice little fairy tale that seems to run popular in these parts. How's that?

Then it's beyond the scope for you to say that his behavior was "out of character."

Do you know him personally?

Ah yes the illegitimate election of the Kenyan born communist Muslim that worshipped at the altar of Saul Alinsky.

“But he was talking tough and confidently!!! That’s why we believe him!!!”

And if anyone doubts this, just watch that bullshit genetic nonsense and juxtapose it with Sanjay Gupta. Tell me that he's handling both conversations the same way and you're a fucking liar.

Been over 20 years since we last played them. Looking forward to it.

yeah Rogan’s not progressive. He’s not really anything. He’s, as suggested earlier, a sponge that can be talked into and out of anything.

Right and that’s really the overarching theme here: that a person so suggestible to provably false falderal has absolutely no business being in the kind of position he occupies.

Hell, they go batshit when anything gives that vague appearance. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read/heard the phrase “freedom of speech” or “first amendment” in connection with fucking Neil Young. It’s absolute insanity. It basically goes like this. They don’t want Original Law or New Law. They want Diet Law: all the rights, none of the responsibilities.

Also, a quick Wikipedia search on the MAOA gene shows this. ”Several studies have found differences in the frequency distribution of variants of the MAOApromoter repeat between ethnic groups: 52-59% of African American men,[11][10] 48-62% of Chinese men,[12][10][13][14] 62% of Maori men,[9] 57% of Japanese men,[15] and 33-37% of European men[10][11] carried the 3R allele, while 5.5% of Black men, 0.1% of Caucasian men, and 0.00067% of Asian men carried the 2R allele." Ok so by this dumbass’ rationale, Chinese and Japanese men should be as or more violent than African Americans. Except… “However, a large genome-wide association study has failed to find any large or statistically significant effects of the MAOA gene on aggression.[47] A separate GWAS on antisocial personality disorder likewise did not report a significant effect of MAOA.[48] Another study, while finding effects from a candidate gene search, failed to find any evidence in a large GWAS.[46] A separate analysis of human and rat genome wide association studies, Mandelian randomization studies, and causal pathway analyses likewise failed to reveal robust evidence of MAOA in aggression.[49] This lack of replication is predicted from the known issues of candidate gene research, which can produce many substantial false positives.[50]” … ”The effects of MAOA genes on aggression have also been criticized for being heavily overstated.[56]Indeed, the MAOA gene, even in conjunction with childhood adversity, is known to have a very small effect.[57] The vast majority of people with the associated alleles have not committed any violent acts.[58][59]” So is this what that fuckwad would qualify as “doing your own research?” Just asking questions.

Exactly what I was thinking. Hell, just on a personal level, my ancestors who moved to Virginia from Scotland back in the late 1600’s did it to escape British violence and oppression. So they thought the “red savages” of North America were less violent than the English. But sure, whoever that moron guest of Rogan’s was; go ahead and believe in some make believe and pretend bullshit about Europeans being less violent because “farmers and stuff.”

Oh and as far as the origins of Nickelback hate: Not an endorsement, just putting it out there

Is it though?

Accurate assessment. Seriously. "Legitimate political discourse" are just three words which they have absolutely no idea what any of them mean individually, much less in conjunction with each other. That's like Mitch "Blood Green" giving a lecture on particle physics.

This needed to be the collective response.

But but but those guys committed minor crimes like 5-7 years before the cops shot them so that makes it ok

So if he tells the whole story, what's the Over/Under on how many times you call the TT a liar?

It was going to be either us who went there or Skyline since DISD throws a fit whenever we’re paired with their teams.

I absolutely loathe that term because there’s hardly anything intellectual about them.

So which season could you verifiably say the CFP was more intriguing/competitive than the NFL playoffs going back to 2014? I can find some years where the NFL was better and other years where it was essentially a push, but that’s it. Parity tends to do that. When all things are damn near equal, random shit plays like that decide games. It’s not like when LSU played OU in the CFP and LSU could have had 7 turnovers and it still wouldn’t have mattered.

Yeah and he kills it, butchers it and cooks it himself in his own ground pit which holds wood he personally cut and he lights the fire with flint and steel.

I heard that in Stewie’s voice from this clip
