    Cry me a fucking river. I was a kid growing up in Houston and had to put up with abuse for the Iran hostage situation which my family had nothing to do with. Back then no one gave a shit about someone in my position. No Asian-American should have to put up with abuse; however, there is nothing wrong at all with saying "fuck China". The vast majority of people in the US are smart enough to distinguish between the Chinese Communist bat eaters and our friendly Asian neighbor down the street. A few nasty comments by idiots doesn't mean that there are pogroms going on.

    Are you high or something? You have been babbling like a fool making no sense all day.

    Like a lot of things in life, ordering shit like this by the politicos gives them the shield of being proactive and that they are doing something to pacify the Karens of the world. If it gives them the cover to reopen businesses, bully on them. Besides, HEB has mandated wearing a mask to enter. That's like 80% of my trips outside the home besides the occasional stops at Home Depot or Walgreens

    It's not that big of a deal dude once you get used to it. Laredo was the first in the country to mandate the wearing of masks in public and they haven't had any issues with people complying despite being one of the poorest cities in Texas. If the tradeoff is wearing a mask in public in order to reopen the economy, I will gladly take that option.

    She can go bra-less and use hers like this

    Of course that's true because of the pandemic right now. They have started price wars in 2014 directly aimed at our domestic production and earlier this year in a spat with Russia. There has got to be some push back on our end when they do shit like that.

    You can wear a bandana and comply. Check out any Western wear shop and you can find one.

    We have a lot of cards to play with Saudi Arabia and I don't know why we don't use them to support a profitable baseline for domestic production. The use of tariffs to protect domestic production makes sense here and should be threatened to get the Saudis to play ball. They're not going to switch over to buying Russian or Chinese planes and military equipment when all of their gear is American made for the past 80 years. The Saudis can't even pacify the ragtag Houthis in their backyard. As much as I hate the Islamic government in Iran, you have to respect their Revolutionary Guard capability and despite all of Saudi Arabia's fancy military equipment, the Saudis know that they'd get their asses kicked in a ground war with Iran and would be begging us to step in.

    Parents and students are going to revolt at paying $37,500 for a semester of online instruction at Ivy League/expensive private schools. If I had a kid I would tell them to take the semester off and get a job at an Amazon warehouse or some shit. I would not pay a cent for online education at those prices

    The US and any Western country would never go along with the police state tactics that East Asian countries with a culture of obedience were able to use. This disease has progressed in a similar pattern to countries comparable to our own. Cherry picking Iceland with a population of 500K and their ability to test on a much more widespread level does nothing to add to the discussion except to score points politically in this thread.

    Wrong. He said why does it matter about the source of this plague. I responded that it mattered for several issues. IF I discussed reparations that would be CR.
  14. GHOSTUSER
    I wasn't demanding a discussion of reparations. I was merely pointing out that the source of the virus is germane to many topics.

    Looks like barn door has been opened from the CR cesspool with the posts we’re seeing on this page. But daddy I want to rail on politics outside of the echo chamber!!!

    Is this a joke? It has everything to so with everything. The source of this disaster is China. Their negligence in lab protocols or hygiene-pick your poison caused this mess. Is this some lab modified virus that was released versus completely naturally occurring. I’m no epidemiologist but I assume that matters. How we handle our national defense and immigration from China matters from the source. So is a demand for reparations.

    I am giving mine up. Can't justify the expense with all this going on in the world and commercial real estate going to shit. I don't want them to sit on thousands of dollars of mine when there is a real chance of a season not getting played. Might have an opportunity for better seats down the road if I get the itch to buy season tickets.

    Holy crap those new Falcons unis are awful. The one they had were the best update/modern unis of a classic that was out there. Why are teams so stupid about this shit. Their classic unis were one of the best in the NFL

    Every time slot for both curbside and delivery for the next 2 weeks at my HEB is filled. Same for the one further from my home. Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury to avoid going to the grocery store.

    Unfortunately, Iran is one of the worst countries equipped to handle this pandemic. Most of it has to do with the the Iranian mindset - distrust of the government, preference to lie and cover up rather than act transparently and an unwillingness to adhere to the rule of law. Sprinkle in Islamic fanaticism by those who practice it, like licking the walls of mosques and mobs forcing their way into shrines, and it results in the disaster that is happening there.

    Down in Mexico, the Gulf Cartel is passing out food to the poor who can’t go to work.

    You nailed it. He thinks he is better and smarter than everyone and is so insecure and dead inside that he makes himself feel better by looking down and belittling others. It's even more pathetic and disgusting to witness in person.

    Looks we are having an insufferable cunt parade today.

    Laredo is ahead of the curve of everyone in Texas in requiring masks/bandanas while out in public or risk a $1,000 as of last Thursday.

    For anyone who questions the value of monarchy and what it can add to the life of a nation, especially at times of crisis, please watch the Queen's speech last night. Amazing woman who hearkened back to the resolve of the British people during WWII to inspire her people today to fight this virus. What an amazing woman and a shining example of what an institution grounded in history and tradition can give to a nation. So sad that Prince Harry and Meghan have tossed that gift aside for nothing.
