  1. The thread crapping by the usual subjects is nothing new and quite frankly, it is all intellectually lazy and antagonistic for the sake of argument in itself and proves nothing and changes no one's belief. As I said in the semi-annual thread by whoever that claimed we were all better off without churchy stuff, there is nothing new under the sun here. The high school level debate stingers ("challenges") are easily searchable on Google and have academics who can coherently answer your controversies without needing to rehash them here because you decide to internet throwdown on Sunday afternoon. Is there any particular reason you cannot let a thread about what some find to be hopeful stand within itself?
  2. Props to those engaging in discussion but I swear there is some kind of timer for whatever iteration of Hornfans/Hornscat/Surly that pops up a religion thread every 6 months and we get predictable discussion that follows a pattern with questions, criticism, smart assisms and answers that look like the last thread that popped up. The internet is full of good logical discussion on these topics without the poo flinging. As to the majority tipping to non house of worship or whatever, I don't think our society is any better off than 5, 10 or 20 years ago. Actually, besides the murder rate, we are kind of sucking as humans, especially to each other and ourselves.
  3. Cops killed = “shrug”. Anyone killed by cop = “jump to conclusions” headlines for two to three media cycles. Even more so if riots ensue. Coverage based on msm slant. Fox for the former although the trooper ambush isn’t as juicy as kids in cages. CNN and MSNBC with over the air majors for the latter. Online hack sites divided up by political persuasion. I think either scenario requires scrutiny. It’s just ironic how incredibly polarized media has become, largely driven by catering to a polarized country with no empathy, and no critical observational or thinking skills.
  4. It appears like a set up. Ambushed. Went for a stranded motorist call and the perp immediately started shooting through Trooper Walker’s window when he pulled up. I know Chad Walker and his family. Salt of the earth people. Humble. And it doesn’t fit the media narrative so buried coverage it is. At the surface it appears to be a sick mentally deficient person had a long beef with law enforcement and decided to inact his own justice on a random LEO. Now we are without a good man who was valuable to his family and to our state.
  5. It’s 27 per day for the whole county. And yes they are active but come on, it’s the typical overpaid bueracratic California government employee bloat endemic throughout their public employee payscales.
  6. There are a lot of LA county doctors saving a lot more lives per day than a lifeguard can dream of and they aren’t paid near what these top earners are for likely the same hours. Get back to me when people are actually paid for their worth to society. Until then, we have sand jocks bilking LA county for mid six figures. At least it’s legal.
  7. I can assure you that our country is not “obsessed” with fitness. Half of all adults presently or at one time in their adult life, meet/met the criteria for obesity. The author lives in some kind of Gold’s gym/crossfit bubble.
  8. If you want to see what good coaching can do, watch the 3rd and 4th. And this was with Texas making some small errors in fundamentals. This team is greater than the sum of its parts.
  9. A fun team to watch but Vic hasn’t had enough time to clean up some sloppy fundamentals. But this is still so much better than before.
  10. There’s letting some physical play happen but not calling the flagrant was bs.
  11. If you take the thread in as a whole, it's schizophrenic. Maybe a mod can start a betting pool and poll to see who comes out on top.
  12. I can see where you get this opinion when you read this thread. There is some serious unfettered prognostication here and with out any facts or true inside information, it’s all just keyboard diarrhea. Shaka to Marquette looked like smart admin move. I hope they planned the next steps prior to making it.
  13. I’m sending UCLA a thank you cookie. Hey CDC, $3+ million a year for a guy who couldn’t prepare for the consolation bracket winners from the intramural 6’ and under league.
  14. From six feet under, he’d still do better with this year’s roster. Unless he got cremated. Not sure how that would work out.
  15. Kind of. Got punched in the mouth and thought, “meh, two outta three ain’t bad.”
  16. Walbridge ERA from 0 to 9.00 in the blink of an eye.
  17. I don’t think the YMCA is paying that much to make a difference.
  18. Fixed for our local collegiate squad. Same principles and same faults.
  19. I think there will be or at least a stall in the numbers decline. One our NP’s sent a pic from a monster truck rally in central texas outdoors but people packed like sardines. Probably about 10% masked and average BMI pushing 35. Hopefully we will see hospitalizations and deaths drop and separate from case numbers.
  20. Oral Herpes bothers you for a week and takes a $10 Rx to get rid of. Shaka sticks around for 6 plus years and cost you $7 million to get rid of.
