Re: No New Wars!

Even better is the unbridled TDS - while failing to understand that literally erveryone on this forum is currently pissed at Trump . Imagine being so blinded by hate and dulled by Risperdol that you missed that - what a beautiful display of lack-of-reading comprehension. Sad. It is true that everyo...

Re: No New Wars!

At the moment, Trump is the example of what's wrong with our country. Elected to root out corruption, ends up being blackmailed and/or compromised. He's the festering wound. But behind the wound is a virus that needs to be eliminated. Good summary of the difference: Trump didn't get blackmailed or ...

Re: No New Wars!

Excuse me, but if America is so great then why the Make America Great Again movement? MAGA seems first in line complaining about the place I am far from MAGA, but I try to understand viewpoints other than mine. I'm completely happy to be corrected by anyone regarding the following. I believe that "...

You guys won't believe this but I bet $1000 that the score would be 27-5. I just won 17.5 Billion dollars. :)
I bet you are not a huge Carson Taylor fan at the moment. ;-)

Re: 3.5 Million Epstein Documents Released. DOJ scrubs link to Trump document.

Back to the subject of the thread ... Here is what I wonder: The Epstein estate is paying millions to accusers. It makes sense that the identities of these accusers is redacted from the public version of the documents. But is there evidence of the alleged crimes in the documents? Or was all the traf...

Re: No New Wars!

I can't imagine that many people are going to defend Iran and the Ayatollahs. Between the domestic repression/murder of protesters and the acts of the "proxies" (Hezbollah, Hamas, etc.) they are responsible for a lot of the trouble in the world, in my opinion. (I don't care if Khamenei was a simple,...

Re: M's sign Mitch Garver to minor league deal.

The problem with Garver is he's only better than the other backup catcher. If having Garver means he gets 5-10 more starts than Knizer, I dont think the difference between Garver/Knizer is as large as the difference between Garver and anybody else that will be in the lineup ahead of him. So, to me,...

Re: Mass shooting in British Columbia

LOL good one. Van life. ;-) That is a pretty bleak picture you pain, AuroraAve. Two questions: [1] Haven't other countries had the same "social" pressures as the US, and [2] With all off this horrible stuff, why is the homicide rate so LOW (the highest number on bpj's chart is 30.4 per 100,000 per y...

Re: Spring Training Thread

Somethings going on here, does Knizner really deserve a ML contract over Garver? I don't want to bother debating their relative value but still. Did they offer Mitch the Knizner contract and he turned it down thinking he could do better? Must have been the case.... Yes, that makes sense. I'm ok wit...

Re: Mass shooting in British Columbia

SeattleorBust: Does the chart imply that there were NO mass shootings anywhere else? (Haiti? Venezuela? Kenya?) DavidGee: It is a good question, if the poor parts of these cities are like the poor parts of the US cities you cite. But, correct me if I am wrong, aren't the mass shootings in the US ty...
