    New Guinea had some horribly awful things happen there before, during and after the conclusion of WWII. The mountains and jungles of the Owen Stanley Range are some of the harshest places on earth to survive. I want to traverse the Kokoda Track at some point.

    Told a Lakers fan I work with that we’d win. They obviously want a shot a Denver because pro athletes don’t think like fans do. This series goes 5 at most unless Jokic decides to leave early to go into horse racing full-time. Should be fun watching our two best players eat their own words all series about wanting to see Denver again.

    Well sure we’re on target to do that as a species, but if we somehow are still here several millennia from now they’ll still be fighting.

    Again the topic is not Europe. I have no issue helping to ensure that Israel survives as a nation. I’m cool with Netanyahu seeing a prison cell though. There just will never be a solution to the violence in the Middle East. They will fight amongst each other for the rest of our lives and again long after we are turned to dust.

    Europe is the most bloodied continent in recorded history on the planet that also suffers from perpetual war. They are not the topic here. Again anyone that thinks they will solve the continual state of wanting to go to war and fighting over land there has not done any real purview of the history of the region. The Middle East will continue to bicker and fight long after we are all gone.

    Spend time reading more about the history of the region. Do not tell me that you have because if you had you would know the divisions go back for millennia upon millennia. This will go on into perpetuity.

    Every generation believes they will be the one to put a stop to wars in the Middle East. These conflicts stretch back several millennia and will continue to happen for several millennia more. Thinking that this is a problem that has a simple solution, or really any solution, is a fallacy. The best to hope for is containment to the region and that the civilian population does not suffer too greatly if things escalate like they inevitably will.

    I got on the medal stand because of the copious amount of neg rep I gave to one poster that absolutely deserved them and still does under the various amount of new handles they have used since their original name. I don’t care about getting a negative rep because this is a message board where we all have varying viewpoints. There are people I read and both agree and disagree with in different forums on here. In a nutshell that’s how we mostly are as people. We find common ground more often than not on things, but sometimes we just do not.

    I saw this on my phone at work. My mother has had three different types of cancer and almost a decade later is still here thank God. I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone, but my reaction to this was “Cancer did what the justice system did not.” Then when I turned to tell a guy my age that OJ died the 21 year old sitting next to me says “Who is that?” He quite literally means nothing to millions of people in this country and I’m glad for that. I hope he’s hanging out with Robert Kardashian right about now.

    I would imagine games like this are good for Edwards. The moments that win you a title and/or titles are often the ones that come in defeats. The mental side of the game will eventually catch up for your guys. It just takes time and continuity. Same thing that has Denver in the position they are currently.

    I like it how it is to be honest. Basketball is a truly worldwide sport and the hall needs to continue to be seen as such. I like that they are inclusive in who is in there. The more the merrier is probably what sums up my feelings. The NBA creating a hall of fame will never happen.

    Denver should still win the west and get a 2nd title. They are just better than everyone else. I don’t care if THOSE GUYS make the finals and have home court advantage. The Nuggets will still win the title again this year. Minnesota and OKC are still too young and not as tested as Denver is. It still should be a fun year for the playoffs though.

    The lack of any real self-awareness here is honestly pretty humorous. This woman has no business being part of society. Get her a rubber room and call it a day.
  14. UpperWestside
    I agree with this. It’s just embarrassing to see people like her representing their constituents and doing little to nothing for them. All the while they enrich themselves. I look at a complete toolbag like the esteemed cadaveresque person representing Iowa in the senate. They’ll vote Grassley in even if he’s six feet under and on the ballot against one of those awful “demoncrats” or whatever dumb moniker they come up with for the party not filled with traitors.

    This is the kind of stuff I find to be really disheartening. You are there for good reasons and you’re instilling in your daughter that it’s good to help others and show empathy. I have no patience at all for the people like her that show up for a photo op or quick tv appearance. People like that do not deserve anything nice at all.
  16. UpperWestside
    Well yes I believe most of us would, but the district as a whole needs to find another Democratic candidate to replace her with. She is just breathlessly unintelligent and, as noted by @Dnaguy, how she graduated from those two schools and still sounds like some of the sadly homeless and drug addled people living on the streets of NYC is really unbelievable.
  17. UpperWestside
    Yes. I heard her speak in person in 2020 at the March on Washington. Absolutely brutal to listen to. She is just not an intelligent person and her constituents should be embarrassed to continue sending her to Washington.

    Good to see the legal system is still a clown show. Morant acted in “self-defense” in punching a teenager according to the judge. The amount of people enabling this privileged joker is absurd.

    I’m starting to think this guy seems like he might be okay at playing basketball. For his sake I hope he stays injury free and that he has a long and successful career. Guys like this grow the popularity of basketball on a global level and make more kids want to play. He’s doing things as a rookie that even in this era of inflated statistics is just unreal. Injuries are the only thing that can derail him and guys like Holmgren. I really hope science and medicine keeps improving so they can play for as long as they want to without their bodies breaking down.

    I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m at the AMNH again today before work and I went to watch the space show at the Hayden Planetarium again. It’s a pretty cool experience, especially when I go in and there was three class groups there. Hearing the reactions of the children to seeing the amazing show happening overhead is always cool. It gives them an early love of science and space. Neil de Grasse Tyson has commented many times that he is an astrophysicist because of his encounter with a planetarium as a child. If you are bringing your kids with you please take them by here to see the show. If the cost is a bit steep I don’t mind giving anyone at least two free tickets you can use because my membership allows me to use two each trip I make in there.

    John Chaney tried to solve this problem for everyone 30 years ago, but NOOOO! Apparently killing the opposing coach in a postgame press conference is frowned upon in some circles.

    I really like the new district for Lampasas. I think they win that district and the region. Jett Walker will have a really big year running and Ty Johnson is looking at having his coming out party as a sophomore. He’s a rare talent for the Badgers that is going to wind up setting every receiving record Lampasas has.

    Fantastico!

    I had a family last night from Portugal. They asked where I was from and I explained and apologized to them that it was Texas. The first thing the man said about Texas was “Oh those people who think they can be their own country.” He made fun of Texas for the anti-immigrant stance as well as the UK for their anti-Polish sentiment as far as immigrants they don’t like there. He said ask Britain how Brexit is working out. I told him I was in favor of Texas leaving along with a few other states. Thank you again Texas for having such a sterling reputation the world over.

    I can imagine. Nothing good comes for the people that get stuck with him. I remember when he got a popular principal in DISD fired because of test scores. The community overwhelmingly loved what she had done to transform a school that had been a haven for gangs into a place where the students felt safe and that someone actually cared for them. All this terrible human being cared about were test scores and how he could make the biggest amount of money off of the students. His brain is just completely fried and the world would be a better place if Mike Miles and his ilk had no place in it.
