People who tell people they arent on social media are assholes. It's the new "I don't even own a TV" or "I don't even watch Fox News"
 
Diversity is bad. People are better off sticking to their own ethnic groups and interacting with other groups from the outside as foreign visitors for the most part.
 
Teachers are relatively worthless glorified babsysitters and can be adequately replaced by videos and computers past a certain grade. Early on, they are probably useful in interacting with smaller children. But yeah, they are probably most useful from keeping stupid kids off the street during the day.

Group discussion can take place online.

The Titans, Saints games proves Football is not boring. When we played ATL in ATL and got abused by the Cavs that would merit a boring condition. Old men bowling tournaments, Curling and golf are traditionally boring. IMHO

In Urban schools this is un- attemptable. In wealthy schools filled with Indian and Chinese students, they have natural concentration and can be taught mechanically. Apple_will_reportedly_introduce_a-4519f67010de92782f65afb7773ee5a5.png

that if you want to be a "citizen" with "rights" you better own up to some responsibilities. Serving the public (USPS, Military, Peace Corps, VA Doctor, neo-WPA, work at a Food Bank, whatever) at some point. Forget these "I have unalienable rights to (whatever...own a gun, make a baker bake me a cake, go to an Antifa rally without consequence, sue anyone I want)" without putting skin in the game. "I was born here, so you (the other gov't and taxpaying citizens) owe me food and shelter and medical care and ...". The only unalienable rights you have are to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Constitutional rights (those laid down by the government) are for citizens.

From one of rappers I listen to, Spose, "Say free country, I can say what the fuck I want: Sh*t! B*tch! C*nt! Fuck the government! Buy my songs! Some places you say Shit like this and you get your hands cut off."

By being lucky enough to be born here (or to come over a border without repercussions), I don't feel that you have earned all the things that people have served, worked and died for. Don't like it? Feel free to relocate to Mexico, Japan, Russia, China, Egypt, Dubai, Rwanda, Philippines, Sudan, France and see how many rights you get there. What has my son contributed to America that's more than some Guatemalan illegal immigrant, other than the God-given luck to be born here? Or for that matter, what's he contributed to America that's more than what he's contributed to France or Russia or St. Lucia?

Unpopular, I know.

Brian: Seems like those issues should be in CAPS.
 
I can't stand the phrase " God bless America" Are we the only ones to merit favor from "GOD"? Also, when I think of how the US government broke treaties with native Indians,slaughtered their villages including women and children, relocated them to disease filled environments, feed them whiskey and depicted them in movies as savages, I give that phrase the finger. The way in which Africans were treated is also another smear on the honor of the raised flag. Yes...Indians and Afro Americans were treated as second rate and not worthy to be a part of that privileged song. They served in the segregated military with highest honor although they were regarded as not "intelligent" or "able to perform" because of their skin color. Oh...lets mention all the Europeans and the Chinese who got shafted. At least the country appears somewhat better (excluding Trump era politics).
 
Just not a Star Wars fan.

Loathe Fourth of July fireworks.

Don't celebrate Christmas.

This recently came up since my niece is engaged. I HATE wedding registries. It takes all the individuality and creativity out of wedding gifts. I prefer to make rather than buy but when I suggested knitting an afghan my sister said that was really weird and I should just pick an item from the registry. So it's "weird" to give someone a gift that is hand made, one of a kind, and useful. Selecting a wedding gift has all the excitement of buying lettuce at Berkeley Bowl market. Which head of Romaine looks best among all the virtually identical heads of Romaine?

Yeah both good games. The misses is a Panthers fan so I was rooting for them...but the Saints would not be stopped. Panthers had a chance to win but couldn't pull it off. I don't kniw if Cam Newton will ever win a super bowl. Guy doesn't have an ounce of humility in him.

The dude may not know his name when he wakes up this morning. I was shocked that they let him back on the field. Between his collapsing while walking off, and Tom Savage having literal seizures on the field before being let back in, (and the Russell Wilson hit) I'm more confused by the "Concussion Protocol" than I am about how replay overturns catches that would make the Patriots lose...

Lots of low-key racism in this thread.

The country is racist through and through. Was founded upon, built by, and continuously shaped by racism.
 
The Last Jedi was one of the best Star Wars movies.

I didn't think it was low key. My pitbull opinion could be interpreted that way I suppose but it is more to do with the dogs and their abilities. My psycho wiener dog mix used to turn cujo all the time but you could kick it for a 45 yard field goal if you wanted.
