  1. BLM could separate themselves from the rioters further. Stop the tactics that involve harrasment of citizens. They'll be more likely to be sympathetic to your cause. Stop screaming into peoples faces and using a megaphone in their face. It's insulting and demeaning and just makes them want you to go away and diminishes your message. Don't protest during hours when the rioters are out (after curfews). Make it clear that the rioting is not something you encourage, participate in or embrace. Not shouting burn it down would be a good start because apparently many people take that line literally and are in fact, burning it down. Setup open public lines of communication where there can be real discussion and discourse. Be open to listening and not shouting down anything that is viewed as not being 100% in lockstep with your thought process. LLISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN. This applies to anyone despite their views on the matter.
  2. Yes they should and people should be willing to communicate and listen but I don't see a lot of that going on. I'm a "the truth is somewhere in the middle" kind of guy so I do like to see different perspectives on issues. Sadly, this is rarely the case and the voice of reason gets lost in the middle of it all. By truth, I do not mean the events that occured that incited what is going on. I'm talking about the messages, videos and media portrayals of protests and rioting.
  3. That isn't what the media is putting out there. They show the outiers.
  4. I know he was a kid and it's tragic. Stil, the point remains that in many instances police have shot first and asked questions later. Nothing makes that right. Or do you want to argue just to fucking argue because at times that's all you do.
  5. That isn't what he was stating at all. He was saying that this shit does and can happen to all people regardless of race.
  6. Different ethnic groups are distrustful of other ethnic groups. Also supported by history. It's an uphill battle.
  7. Wisconsin has wins over LSU and Auburn off the top of my head.
  8. As does any post that deems the rest of the B1G irrelevant when at least 6 teams will be ranked when the B1G is added back to the polls.
  9. Line Texas' record and final ranking for the last 10 years up with Wisconsin and Penn State and prove me wrong.
  10. After Oklahoma who's nationally relevant in the Big 12 currently? Penn State and Wisconsin are currently more relevant programs than any Big 12 program not named Oklahoma. Downvotes expected but it's true.
  11. Butterfinger or Heath blizzard ftmfw.
  12. I'm referring to the looting and destruction. Most of it appears to be white middle class people. My statement actually supports the narrative that the BLM movement by black people is mostly peaceful. Now there is harassment and ridiculing of others occuring but it's mostly peaceful. Comprende?
  13. The vast majority of people doing these actions look like middle class white kids for the most part so your assertion is bullshit.
  14. No fuck you you piece of shit. Look at the numbers. You should need to follow rules. Don’t fight. Act like a civil human being and you might be treated as such. Is that so difficult to understand. Yes bad things happen. Yes not all cops do the right things but neither do citizens. Jesus you’re a moron.
  15. Deaths resulting from police let’s not let facts get in the way of your bullshit. BTW, Asians who are very good at following rules have basically zero unarmed deaths. Yes, a higher percentage of blacks are killed but let’s not pretend they are the only race this happens to. But painting broad strokes seems to suit you and Brisket so there’s absolutely no reason to delve deeper to find out why it happened. Lets just place blame where you want to place it.
  16. When he died I was 6 and I had zero opinion on him. I didn't even know about him until he died so you sir, are dead wrong in your assertion. Just keep making broad generalizations about people because their thinking doesn't exactly align with yours.
  17. No alcohol on Playa Norte. Hotel Secreto has a private beach with service.
  18. If I can talk my wife into it I’ll be there with you, man.
  19. We cook in the Breville a LOT. Everything from toast to roasts.
  20. Maybe we can also get citizens to obey the laws of the land and not to destroy businesses already ravaged by loss of business from COVID.
  21. Good girl, Lulu. It's such a difficult thing to go through as a dog owner.
