And if the solution to saving those lives was as blindingly obvious, cheap, and drawback-free as extending the netting in ballparks to protect fans there, people wouldn’t stand for it.

Yeah, but a 2 year old girl had her skull crushed by a ball that no one could have jumped in front of.  She will most likely have some sort of brain damage, since they reported she had bleeding.  A woman died last year.  A woman was crushed in face this year, and another one.  If you’re able to look at those stories…

I sincerely appreciate this point of view -- but he not only shows zero remorse for what he did, he appears to have convinced himself he did nothing wrong, and edited the facts to match. He remains a POS and has gotten far better than he deserved.

“I think I did a pretty good job as a young-ass mom,” she added. “Kudos to me.”
Kudos to her, indeed.

In 2016 37,361 people were killed in car accidents in the US. The US population in 2016 was 323.4 Mil. That means .00115% of the US population were killed in car accidents that year. Baseball is statistically more dangerous than driving. Math is fun.

My favorite argument against full nets is, you should be watching the game. Really? What if you get up to go to the bathroom and the ball hits you in the back of the head? There are literally thousands of arguments against it.

I BOUGHT THESE EXACT SHOES FROM CLAIRE’S IN 1997.

That’s exactly my point: I’m on board with the fantasy elements, but the reality of the snap can’t swept under the rug.

It’s egregious on the level of criminal that MLB is juicing their balls and refusing to take measures to protect fans. It’s hard to find league-wide statcast averages, but scrolling through the average exit velocity rates by player, the numbers tick upward year-over-year at the beginning and the end of the list. That…

Yeah, I’m not saying it’s BAD, necessarily, just something that felt noticeable to me in the movie. It sticks out because they have Flash refer to the fact that Peter doesn’t have a lot of money but it reads more that Flash’s family is rich than Peter is scraping by. 

call me skeptical, but I’m rather suspicious of people armed with goddamned firearms claiming “self defense” against unarmed opponents.

What’s the name of the prosecutor that brought it before a grand jury?

If the cause of religious people is right, why do they so often use deception?

I’m not happy about the Mengele comparisons, simply because what he did happened on such a large scale, with the full force of the Nazi system behind it, and because Mengele was a sexually sadistic psychopath. Renee Bach is an Angel of Death without medical training, going after children. Do I think Renee Bach - even…

The fuck?  “If she cared for even 1 child”, how about “If she was responsible for the death of even 1 baby, send her ass to prison.”

This is the picture referenced in that episode of the podcast. HOLY SHIT. 

Listening to this podcast now and I’m reminded of how many White church people will ignore the poor around them but will fly to Haiti or Uganda to build schools and clinics that no one who actually lives there asked for.  Meanwhile there are kids right here who need health care and decent schools and safe places to…

What in the fuck are you saying???
