I asked you to speak plainly about your point. I'm not going to answer a series of vague questions while you hold your larger point in reserve, waiting to spring it after some line of questioning that, apparently, isn't much relevant to the thread. 

 

I don't think honest discussion is too much to ask for.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I asked a question, you are unwilling to answer. Hunting has zero to do with the underlying topic and I'm trying to understand why you believe it does.

Anyways I have to get back into the SCIF. Have fun.

You do realize there are also legal limits on the 1st amendment too....right?

 

Yep, and those limits primarily revolve around private vs public space.

You're the only one confused by that post. Perhaps you should go read the rest of the thread - which I'm not going to explain to you when it's in plain english on your screen - and start over making whatever point you're trying to make. 

 

Nobody is interested in playing this game.

So no, you're unable to answer the question. Thanks.

So much for the reasonable discussion I suppose.

Fail

Your claim that the NRA's unwillingness to capitulate to the infringement of civil liberties is not 'doing the right thing". Yes indeed that is a fail.

You're the one who pulled my quote out of a thread full of hundreds of quotes.  Stop dancing.  What point are you trying to make?

I'm not dancing, you're the one who has failed to answer a direct question regarding the relevance of hunting to the topic.

There is no correlation between expressing my opinion on the internet and owning a weapon like an AR-15.

You see no correlation between the 1st & 2nd Amendments of the US Constitution?

I'm not sure why this question is being asked. It's part of the long conversation about the necessity/unnecessity of weapons like that.

And therein lies  a large part of the problem.

There are many outlets in which you have the ability to express your opinion, why should you be allowed to do so on the internet?

How is it not relevant?

 

What is the purpose of the 2nd Amendment?

There are other weapons hunters can use to shoot feral pigs.  That's more of an "I want to use an AR-15" than an "I have to use an AR-15."

And you believe this is relevant why exactly?

Only in the worst of all possible administrations do we respond to a nation-shaking tragedy like this by making an organized public push for arming schoolteachers. It speaks to the deep-seated Republican desire for a militarist state; armed enforcement everywhere to keep us “safe”. This terrifying vision is many things. “Free” is not one of them.

A suggestion that civilians be given the option to defend themselves is indicative of a desire for a militant state and is the antithesis of 'free'?

With all due respect to Mr. Snyder, the reigning king of international wrestling is Jordan Burroughs.

Getting teched & failing to medal at the Olympics kept Jordan from the throne.

When all is said & done, Burroughs will go down as one of the top 5 (at worst) US wrestlers of all time. That being said his star is not the brightest in the sky at this moment.

 

 

I don't know how we're going to beat Wisconsin.

Score more points?

I'd rather have the eight best teams. I don't want to be forced to take the 20th best team just because they happened to be the best of the worst

How do you propose to determine who the eight best teams are? Opinion polls by sportswriters & coaches (*cough* graduate assistants *cough*). Computer rankings that are unable to predict the outcome of past games? Magic?

NDSU is tough. 5 wins against power five conferences the past 5 years. They have a solid program for sure.

71-5 over the past five years & 5 consecutive FCS championships.

 

 

If the B12 loses it's top 2-3 schools, the conference name still has more cache than the MWC. The B12 schools won't be absorbed by the MWC. The opposite will happen. The B12 will backfill with the top schools from the conference.

 

We already have a pretty good idea what that block will look like because it's happened before.

 

B12 Mountain

BYU

San Diego St.

Colorado St.

New Mexico

Wyoming

UNLV

Air Force

B12 Plains

Oklahoma St.

Kansas St.

Iowa St.

TCU

Baylor

Texas Tech

WVU

There isn't going to be a 24 team super(mediocre) conference. The WAC tried it before and the core block fled almost immediately creating the MWC. That core block also just happens to be the seven schools listed above.

 

How can you put a team from the Mountainer State in the Plains division?????

Easy, it took less than 3 seconds to type. It's a more palatable division name than the B12 "Detritus".

PS Your post needs more question marks.

I have to hand it to TSUN they're leading the way in NASCAR style advertising. The Nike Swoosh, Jordan Jumpman & McDowell's Golden Arcs.

Quite the combo in Amarillo & Blue.

 

 

Those uniforms are sick! We need to step up our game big time

How are those uniforms "sick"? They look pretty much exactly like they did under Adidas this past year. The shoes are pretty cool, but Michigan's uniforms have been basically the same forever.

 

Logo is everything to kids. Even more so than ever.

 

Maybe NU should make a deal with Lebron and get his King James logo on there before anyone else does.

 

Good luck.

 

I think Lindsey will pick NU over OSU. Unless a player is in love with a single program and has wanted to go to that program his whole life, these decisions often come down to comfort level with the coaching staff and main position coach. It seems clear that Linsdey likes Williams better. Also, from what I understand of Martell and some of OSU's other QB's, they are more dual threat whereas Riley is recruiting pro-style QBs that should have better arms. Odds of getting more balls thrown your way would exist with NU vs OSU.

 

Yah, OSU QBs have weenie arm disease. I'm looking at you JT Barrett.

 

I doubt many here got the reference bro. lol

Go Raiders!

Smart move. Something I'm glad to see. Would hate it if those historic wrestling programs faded because of the league's issues.

 

 

 

 

Both tOSU teams were great. The '02 team was probly a bit more talented. But wasn't there a real controversial call back in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl against Miami? I absolutely hate Miami, but I recall thinking they got jobbed on a 4th down penalty call in overtime. The call against the Canes came after the play was over (and the game would've been over) and gave the Bucknuts a 1st down on the two yard line. That sort of put a taint on the game.

 

Anyway, so I guess '95 Huskers is the correct answer.

I think most OSU fans feel like they got jobbed before the OT.

 

This right here. Anyone who complains about the refs giving the championship to Ohio State, needs to pay attention to that video. Not only did he catch that ball, but that should have also been a penalty.

 

 

I think a big reason for the controversy of the OT interference call was because of the delay between the play and the flag. That, and it came on a play that would've ended the game. But I don't disagree about the other play, the one in your video. It was also a bad call.

 

The difference being, the Miami PI, wasn't a bad call. It was Passing interference, just not when people thought it was (the ball was closer to Krenzel when it happened, not when the ball was right there in the end zone)

The National Association of Sports Officials is on record saying it was the correct call & Referee Magazine listed it as one of the best calls of all time.

His uncle passed away today.

It was a criminal matter, no rules were broken.

At the time the Penn State compliance department consisted of Joe Paterno. There was zero oversight of the football program. It was the very definition of lack of institutional control.

People haven't become more rational, they've had years of PSU propaganda shoved up their rear ends until they've forgotten what actually happened.

The original solution was simple...revoke PSU's membership in the NCAA....but that would cost money and the powers that be are going to ride the gravy train straight into the ground.

With all the press his twitter play school comment has rec'd you'd think he was an illiterate thug. He seems like a kid with a fun personality and well spoken. I couldn't have done that well speaking in front of cameras when I was 22. Lord knows my job interviews my senior year in college were disastrous.

He's also an honor roll student.
