Welcome to my world.

So I agree that it should be legal, but accept the ruling as a state right by the courts. Now... how to change perceptions of the folks smitten with the Christian Coalition bullshit. That's the tricky part. Helping educate those folks on the shitty state of our state care for unwanted children is a great start. What resonates most? Crime. So a concerted effort to educate the Red folks on the crime levels from poor folks (not just minorities) but the crime rates of all children who grew up in state funded child care. The percentages are astounding relative to the rest of the population. Now, there's a cross reference to our classist criminal justice system, but one step at a time. Keep it simple stupid. Poor folks with access to reproductive rights have fewer children going into the state system. That means LESS CRIME, and LESS social programs to support those parents. Lower crime, less "wards of the state". Sell them what they'll buy.

This is the main item I take issue with from a broad stand point. Giving up and giving in isn't the way forward. No, it won't be easy, no it won't be quick, no it won't be painless. But the most important aspect to me, is having the desire and conviction to believe in the effort. To unite the people against the broken system rather than continue into tribal break up. The tribalism is exactly the issue. Coast vs Central, rural vs city. Unwillingness to discuss. Finger pointing or out right giving up. It has to be a united effort, and there has to be a will, of the people, to work together, for the people to create change, by the people.

Yes. From the Koch Brothers to Bloomberg, from Elon to Bill, from Amazon to Lockhead.

So, I'm wrong in my perception that having non-party line ideas that fall on both sides of the teams is openly accepted?

So I'll pipe in here. I take a lot of issues with both sides of the table. When I get time I'm happy to elaborate, but in short I avoid submitting anything here as my politics don't fall in line with either sides platform entirely. As such, as a silent non-affliate I fear being shouted down for not being on one side or the other. That's a shitty feeling. That thinking independently about issues outside party lines, having critiques and issues with both is now hated on by both sides. It really does suck. I had opinions during and prior to election watching these threads and stood silent as I was pretty sure I'd just be shit on. I am of the opinion that largely, most US citizens are still good people. I'm of the opinion that the 2 party system truly sucks. I'm of the opinion that my ideas which falls to various sides on various topics is now the outcast. I hate that. For a little background my father immigrated from Italy where he grew up during WWII. Yeah.. seriously. I have a Jewish step father, a Mexican immigrant step mother and a mom who was pro-women and civil rights in the 60s. One married to an Italian immigrant. One who grew up dirt poor. Who's own father shit on her for not being racist. I don't think this country is broken, I think our political system is broken. I'd love to be able to engage in conversations, not team red or blue matching order shouting matches. But... even in typing this.. I'm sadly confident I'm going to be shit on here. Which really does suck, because I'm of the opinion that addressing the Corporate Oligarchy and other issues the US has faces requires all of us to come together, as one people, and stop shitting on folks from the other team. Don't let The Prince be the book we play in.. let IT be the book we mock but don't burn. I'm willing to try, because I'm willing to die trying.

The irony is the Turkey allegedly got its name FROM Turkey. It seems like a turnkey solution to the Turkey troubles regarding naming rights to their country. The Turkey is named from Turkey which is no longer Turkey! /thread derail (I blame the Indians, from India and the idiots that mistook the Native Americans to be Indians who aren't at all from Turkey. Happy early Thanksgiving!) #Downwithpieceofshitputin

Yeah, he's ironically nearly the polar opposite of QE. Great long ball, great scrambler, fast and can avoid a sack. Bad underneath and slow on his reads. Runs before check down to outlet. Florida has a stupid coach, but he's not that stupid. Playing him this soon is bad for both the coach's and the player's future. He's listed as maybe so Texas has to scheme for both.

So, I'm not ever going to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do, and whether or not they are over reacting or reacting rationally. New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Canada and well, most of what would be considered desirable countries for many aren't exactly easy to immigrate to despite what you might be told. They look for very specific skill sets and ages. They don't want older non-rich folks that won't contribute to the economy. There are options, but depending on money it isn't as easy or pick a place as some like to believe. So.. if you really want out, do some research, make a plan, and take steps forward. I would strongly suggest spending a minimum of 60-90 days living in that country before you do so. Just like a life partner it's unwise to move in with someone you've known for less than 3 months. Go see the skeletons in your future countries closet. Experience the weather, the politics, the music, the food, the water, the culture and the people's response to you. There are 3 countries I could and would own property in outside the US. I can say most here would find some inhospitable for various reasons. Nope, I'm not telling you where and nope I'm not giving up my land in redneckville trumpkin Tennessee, mostly cause I love it here despite the politics. Goodbye and good luck. 😘

Found the following comedian on IG. He mostly focuses on SEC and basically mocking all the teams equally. The CFP one is pretty funny, imo. Josh Mancuso

He would have presented problems for Texas.. not saying insurmountable ones, but him being out is a big plus. He's going to be a force to recon with next year.

Wow... that's gonna be missed by a lot of folks. Well done sir.

Small correction, @InkaUtexas said when, not if the Caucuses blow up. With the vast instability in Moscow financially and their eyes off the prize, I'm with him. That's coming I just don't know a time frame. US isn't sending Russia arms. Will private sector? A possibility, but retooling manufacturing lines isn't an over night or low cost endeavor. Will Moscow have the long term stability and money to make good on those efforts? Questionable. Maybe they make that investment, maybe they don't. I wouldn't, but I don't own any military manufacturing plants. (damn my sarcasm meter is broken, I blame the election, Putin and Elon)

Texas - 35 Florida - 13 196 yards

Damn, Skyline no longer in the house. Hope that Grove Rat gets his learn on!

Ack.. yeah that shit will break ya. It doesn't say "Organic" but does have No Antibiotics or Hormones stamped all over.. I mean.. it's organic chicken.. right?? Edit - Has a lot of stamps.. gluten free, inspected, paleo, and.. wait for it.. NATIVE tapioca starch. Who doesn't love that?

Well the first ingredient is Antibiotic Free chicken breast which is a little more expensive than potatoes or corn. Quest chips are pretty good too.

Ehhh.. I'd say more like Munchos which aren't for everyone but aren't horrible.

Akili Smith.. shows the talent to be there. Has a build that fits the bill. Gets in his own head and plays down vs ability. Best I could come up with..

It's a bit of a departure on this thread, but I TRY to lean a little Keto friendly. Wilde chips available from Amazon have a nice variety of flavors. If you like Buffalo flavor theirs is very consistently spicy and tasty. The BBQ and Waffle are interesting for sure. I personally go a different direction for salt and vinegar, but getting the mix bag might be worth a try. I've not tried the queso so.. they are also available at Krogers, not that anyone goes there, but at least it's usually open. Sorry if these were discussed up thread. I admit I didn't read all 8 pages.

I've found those to be hit and miss on the heat but not the flavor. They're consistently tasty. I've had times where the spicey/sweet jumps out at you, and time when they're just tasty. Imo, they are tasty enough that I'm okay with the varied level of heat.

9n!!

Quinn sucks and always has.. Quinn is amazing and still is.. Quinn is going to be fine.. Quinn is a pussy and were fucked.. Quinn is as good as Tom Brady.. Quinn is as good as VY.. Lots a name calling is fun.. We should all get into a street brawl ala Jets v Sharks and the winners get to step in and tell Sark what to do. This thread is amazing, and yes I'm proud to have been a part of it.

So much to unpack, so many questions, so many great possibilities... you sir may just be leading the pack currently. I suspect MIA and his pics will be a tough ranking to match... but I have faith in you. Do God's work.
