  1. Thanks, but I don't think Thatguy needs you to answer for him. I asked Thatguy what he meant in his response to Hate's post. I didn't ask you or any other spokesman for a position or group for their interpretation of "Silence is Collusion." I don't care how a collective allegedly thinks or interprets a phrase or video. I cared about what an individual (Thatguy) meant in response to what another individual (Hate) posted.
  2. "Silence is collusion" is a nice saying and all, but it doesn't seem to address Hate's post at all. What is his "Silence"? Or, is it the diners and drivers' silence? Collusion in what? Are you trying to tell Hate, "yes, protestors shouting at people eating dinner and banging on cars while blocking traffic will gain support from those diners and drivers because they'll realize if they themselves don't get out and shout at diners and drivers they are silent racists"? Are you trying to tell Hate "you should not be eating dinner or driving while anyone is oppressed"? Or, are you just saying "Hate, I don't know you but you're a racist because you don't seem to agree 100% with my position on ________"?
  3. Individuals, groups, and organizations (some very powerful, some lone morons) on the extreme ends of political/societal spectrums use social media to manipulate disenfranchised and simple minded folks to do their bidding. Democrat, Republican, socialist, communist, libertarian, white, black, brown, green, blue, rich, poor, pick any group big or small, use the internet to sow discourse and extremist views. Some are very smart and know what they're doing in manipulating the simple minded for an end goal. Some are just fools who too easily communicate with other ignorant folks who reinforce their ignorant views and convince themselves they're not extremist idiots. As far as extreme or middle ground thinkers, if you say things like "I'm glad when a cop dies even though I don't know anything about the cop I'm sure he did bad shit and deserved it", you are not in the middle on the subject. If you say things like "I don't care that black dude died because he was criminal in the past and that's good enough for me", you are not in the middle. You're just a "us v. them" extremist. Apply it to cops v. society, Republican v. Democrat, Muslim v. 'Merica, white v. black, etc, etc, etc. There are individuals in this world, who don't hold all the views you think they hold just because of the color of their skin, their job, their religion, or political affiliation. Finally, the President of the United States, past, current, and/or future, shouldn't be on Twitter.
  4. First and foremost, I celebrate your entire catalog of Shank-like delicacies. Second, I think your message would reach more people and could actually make changes in society from an official position instead of just being Brisketexan on Surly with one extreme segment agreeing with everything you post and another extreme segment thinking you've lost your mind. Have you considered expending your energy running for office to fix the problems you've identified? If you're Senator Brisket, you'll still have the same extreme segments loving or loathing you, but there are plenty of good, rational, reasonable, folks in the middle who need good leaders to effect change.

  6. I choose to believe that clock is 6:00 AM and the over easy egg to top it off are up next.
  7. While Chooky dressed to leave after their night of passion, she winked and said, "I'll keep an eye out for ya!"
  8. You tie that donkey to your bumper? You know what the penalty for animal cruelty is in South Dakota? It's probably pretty stiff.
  9. Yeah, Sumlin did nothing right. Quick question. Historically, how many seasons has aggy had in which they finished with 11 wins with a bowl victory?
  10. Well, they really need to throw in a pinch of Mike Vick, a sprinkle of Russell Wilson, dose of Rodger the Dodger, and the intangibles of Brady, Montana, and Aikman to accurately portray him.
  11. Whoa, got a crush on the little guy there don't ya.
  12. There are very talented musicians. There are very talented marketers. There are those who are both. The number of very talented musicians no one has ever heard of is incredibly high. You don’t have to be a talented musician to reach high levels in the music industry if you have the talented marketers behind you. Examples are all over the radio, internet, Grammy awards, etc etc. A very average talent can become a star with the right marketers, right song writers, write producers. The talent just needs to play the role scripted by the professionals. This shouldn't be some great secret to anyone.
  13. Typical formula: very average SEC teams go 8-4 by beating 4 cupcakes and 4 very average SEC mates and lose to 4 good/great SEC teams while yo-yoing in the top 25 with a winning record and "good" losses. It will be intersting to see the Covid formula of those very average SEC teams going 5-5 and the yo-yoing in the top 25
  14. IIRC, isn't aggy's historical conference winning percentage around 55%? If so, would that make aggy "middle of the road" in every conference in which they've played?
  15. That Perroni post is awesome. "Yes, OU backed off because they see him at LB, as does Clemson in the Isaiah Simmons role. It's true aggy is the only school that'll tell him he can play safety, oh, and by the way, he also likes A&M." Come to aggy, where safeties play corner, linebackers play safety, and students play army.
  16. Haven't seen this many aggy rush to one space since Jimmy Joe Johnson lost his aggy ring milking a bull in Ruby Sue Ray's pasture.
  17. I would like to rep you, but Armybrat is old is just too easy. Try to come up with something fresh like someone's mom is slutty or something.
