Boy, it’s almost like essentializing people leads to really inaccurate conclusions.

Their free speech is still being protected.

Their free speech is still protected. None of them are being arrested for showing up and being racist assholes.

And yet, this post is designed to make it all about you and what you want.

No, you need to check your privilege.

Can you shut the fuck up, please? Nobody here thinks this is a first amendment issue.

I’m 36 years old, and had to do nuclear strike drills when I was in grade school because I lived in the vicinity of a first-strike location. It’s surreal to imagine having had to do that in my lifetime.

It was 75% starting in 1972, so that number has increased over the decades. There is a reason to be suspicious of a criminal justice system where the state or federal prosecution always wins. That’s the point I’m trying to make. It’s at least a topic worthy of exploration by a movie, video game, or whatever. I’m not…

Methinks the developer must have recently seen the Japanese film I Just Didn’t Do It. The movie has a similar device at its center (a man being falsely accused of groping a girl on a crowded train), but what makes it interesting is that it ends up being a meditation on the Japanese justice system, where things are so…

Exactly. If he had Tom Brady stats, he’d never have been in this situation to begin with. It’s a case of numbers plus “we don’t really need a backup QB who’s going to rain media drama all over the team,” along with a current hiring atmosphere that already significantly limits the number of teams who’d be interested to…

I keep waiting for these articles to report what Kaepernick is asking for out of an offer at this point. Is he seriously willing to accept the veteran’s minimum, and no guarantee at a chance to start, like many of the others people scoff at him having been passed over for?

So they get into the medical marijuana business. This isn’t hard to grasp.

It won’t pass, but get these people on record as voting against it.

...but this is a big slap in the face for the pharma industry that is so prominent in NJ.

Good thing you used “characterized,” because Jordan never even made it to a Finals on his back alone.

The problem is that — and bear with me — a PG can only boost his teammates so much. There’s a finite limit on how much better your play can make someone else.

Also, I’m not really trying to say that West = cockblocked, but more that it’s one factor at play. It’s just a far more competitive conference, and therefore harder for even a superstar like Chris Paul to singlehandedly power a team to the championship, like MJ and LeBron are often characterized as having done.

Who had both Ginobili and Parker at the heights of their powers. And I mean, the dude was still Tim Duncan, to boot. Oh, and one of the best coaches the sport has ever seen.

Perhaps, if Chris Paul had the quality of teammates around him LeBron has the last seven years, he might have had that same impact (or if he’d been in the much weaker East).

I mean, I guess you could say Curry is pretty elite at this point, too. But even in that case, the way the Warriors are set up is not with any individual player as a focal point, but as a system where you can more or less slot players in. That’s why Durant was able to instantly succeed with Golden State, requiring…
