  1. You are certainly entitled to your opinion as I am entitled to mine. Glad we can type online to each other and disagree; too bad Charlie Kirk's life of doing it in person was cut short.
  2. This we are in agreement on - I don't really understand the justification for this. Make her famous for being an idiot, expose her nastiness and then move on. Abbott is an idiot and I wonder if Texas Tech will have a lawsuit or settlement to deal with down the road.
  3. No of course not, that's silly to make a sweeping accusation across all members of a group and from the video above I don't think he does that either. Do I think that Joy Reid, Ketanji Jackson and Sheila Jackson Lee, which were the women specifically called out, to have a "lack of brain power" and wouldn't be where they were without affirmative action, kinda? Do I think that DEI and affirmative action has resulted in people less qualified than others to gain positions of power, promotions etc. outside of those examples? Most certainly, which was the point he was making from what I could tell of the 20 second clip on the topic. I don't think droves of black people are driving around hunting white people, no of course not. Do I think in the context of interracial murders you are more likely as a white person to be killed by a black person than vice a versa? Yes - and the facts bear that out. You can call the droves statement a lie if you want and I won't fight you, but there are some truths wrapped up in that discussion that you dont get in a 5 second clip. Do I think it warrants him being shot in the neck, or people dismissing his death as good riddance, nope. I bet it sure does give permission for a ton of talking heads to just start blanketly labeling him as a racist though. On the abortion/holocaust comment - he's making a numerical comparison - so by the numbers he is right. I (and I would assume millions of others) really don't think he is meaning to diminish the atrocities of the holocaust and if you were being intellectually honest, you don't think he is excusing or diminishing the holocaust either. Do I think all women should submit to men, no. Do I think married women should submit to their husbands? That is the teaching of the new testament; but if you met my wife, you would know she doesn't submit in any form or fashion to me and I dont ask it of her. Would we have better marriages if that were the case, maybe, maybe not? I don't know. My point to all of this was not MY opinion on these statements, it was that I think context and background matters. As much as conservatives pounce on parroting talking points or name calling or shallow analysis of complex issues, I think a lot of people blanketly stating that Charlie Kirk was a hateful, racist, misogynist, transphobe etc. should probably be scaled back a bit. Dollars to doughnuts, many of these people have not thought through his perspectives/ideologies with an open mind and are just parroting opinions from others that want to shut down someone they don't like or see eye to eye with.
  4. Still waiting on specific examples. I watched one of the videos above, and in addition to many of them being taken out of context or cut short, most of them are valid agreements and statements.
  5. Can you explain which ones are reprehensible?
  6. I’m willing to listen to others and reconsider my opinion of Kirk if people can point to specific things he has done or said that make him a bad person. I just haven’t seen anything that indicates that.
  7. This is correct. The right feels the exact same way fwiw. To your second point, this is why this is so upsetting to moderate conservatives and moderate liberals. He was doing exactly that, trying to have conversations with young people in environments where challenging people’s views is supposed to be championed; and he was killed for it.
  8. Absolutely cooked yesterday with 7.5 pt teasers of Aggie LSU tOsu and parlays including Aggie ML.
  9. Hadn’t checked this forum in a while and now I remember why. For fucks sake. Tell us about your CrossFit next
  10. donated. Thanks for doing this.
  11. Finally someone swung at a first pitch in the zone

    Ate at Killen’s off Washington/Heights this week for the first time ages. jalapeño cheese sausage, burnt ends and creamed corn were my favorites. Mac and cheese was solid as was turkey and brisket.
  13. I see where it’s A&M at 12th in the conference now with series at home vs LSU on the road @UGA and then Missouri. Assuming they sweep Mizzou and don’t lose the midweek games, what are the odds they miss the playoffs altogether? Do they need to win both of those series or 1/2? Just not get swept?
  14. Who is the young lady in the back? Is that Kayce Smith?
  15. Probably more likely that they just vacate their wins rather than treat all those games as forfeits/losses
