I am going to cause you emotional distress by posting this clip. Forgive me.

I’m assuming, based on the fact that you think that picture is funny, that you are an old. Based on that assumption, I will ask - what generation do you think invented the fucking participation trophies and handed them out so they could show everyone how fucking great their kids were? The kids didn’t ask for this…

There are a lot of good arguments on both sides. Though I tend to agree with whatever Frederick Douglass says.

My first reaction was, “what an asshole”. Then I remembered he’s just a kid and kids are dumb and probably thought this was funny and that I’m old and what seems funny to me seems strange to the young generation. I am 12 years his senior and the only time I’ve been on TV it was because I caught a foul ball while I…

I’m from a farming community in PA.

Then I suppose that it’s a good thing the refugee process to get into the United States is much more difficult than the process to get into Europe, that there are a number of factors that make the US less vulnerable to attack by those coming as refugees, and that no refugee has carried out a fatal terrorist attack in…

Counterpoint: It takes at least 3 years for a refugee to get the proper visas and clearance to immigrate to this country. If someone wanted to grab an 18 wheeler and run it through a market, why would they wait all those years to get in? There are far quicker and easier ways to get in than through the refugee process.

I’ve heard people say almost that verbatim. And yet the people in the big cities that actually would be threatened are saying ‘welcome’. As a Midwesterner, I feel I am qualified to say that Midwesterners are cowards.

You just described what driving in the South with Northern license plates feels like.

spend years being vetted

That said, what was so bad about the handling of the Sarkisyan piece?

Oh, so this isn’t AS racist as it could be? Oh, cool.
Nice to see we’re setting the bar high here.

Not to mention that a lot of these people who are now being turned away have already been vetted and approved for visas.

My great-grandparents were among the many Armenians who escaped Turkey in advance of the genocides - I believe it was in 1909 - and made a new life in America. Syria accepted many Armenian refugees at that time as well.

Both President and Press Secretary have used the term “ban” I guess this is newspeak then?

Never let terrorists change who you are.

She talked to a permanent legal resident from Egypt who told her he was held for three hours

Wow, I’m telling you. Those retiring sports announcers, you get all the good-lookin’ honorary jerseys. That’s a…what a beautiful jersey! WHOA. If you’re a youngster in Alabama, start getting the microphone out and practice some play-by-play in the backyard with Pop.

I played HS football, was lucky enough to have HS rugby, as well as playing rugby in college and in various men’s leagues, and I was more injured from 4 years of high school football than a decade of rugby. It not only has to do with tackling form/style, but also with the laws and philosophy of the game. There are a…

my anecdote is not data but I personally had to retire from rugby at 26 from too many concussions and as a general rule even on a team of 20 people you will have at least 2-3 people who get concussed so bad they’re out for a long period of time, with a good number per game that would have their “bell rung.” Add to…
