My deal? Are you dense? I replied to an earlier comment and got criticized for it. I didn’t set out to dismiss anyone. This is how comment sections work. Someone says a thing, I respond to that thing, and other people comment on the response with different points.

Whatever. You tell people what you think they want to hear, and listen to your “groups.” They’re doing wonders for the world as is. I’m sure they can only improve.

Hahaha. That’s cute.

I’m not sure how describing something accurately can be retooled into “make people feel as shitty as possible.” Maybe - and this is just a suggestion - stop pretending changing language will make things better. Stop making it sound like we’re parading the families of deceased through public squares and screaming…

I never called myself “anti-PC” - you did, and managed to rationalize it to yourself publicly. I do, however, think that restructuring our language to protect the terminally aggrieved is extreme in some cases.

You’re not allowed to say “committed” because it offends people. You have to soften the language surrounding murdering yourself so that feelings aren’t hurt. There should be no stigma, no negative connotation to ending your own life. We’re all flowers, or snowflakes.

Maybe I’m just an angry Mets fan, but are the White Sox out of their minds? I’m not suggesting they don’t move Sale. They should, for a haul - a gigantic eye-popping haul. They’re going to a stud pitcher in his prime making $12-13 million per thru 2019 for an A-Ball outfielder and a pitching prospect whose stock is…

Aggressive pick, assault. Same thing.

Ahh yes, the “literacy, healthcare, and overall quality of life” trope. I’d encourage you to maybe think for yourself, perhaps read something that doesn’t already reinforce your worldview. Because you just wrote a bunch of bullshit.

Yep, definitely don’t want to sell him short. He’s been solid. The others have just been more noticeable in certain ways.

Absolutely. That was an underrated part of Strahan’s game. Vernon isn’t racking up the stats, and he’s certainly not the pass rusher Strahan was, but he’s a disruptive force who throws tackles around with ease. He’s one of the main reasons they’re strong against the run, though Snacks takes the crown there.

In my lifetime, I’ve never seen a player as gifted as Osi going after the QB, specifically for strip sacks. Yes, there are (many) better players, and he was crap against the run. But man, that guy was just a force to be reckoned with in passing situations.

Yes, the Giants have faced little adversity in the last several weeks. But they’ve won games they should have, and they’ve steadily improved doing so. We could do this all year. If they beat the Steelers, it’ll be chalked up to “beating a barely-.500 team.” If they lose to the Steelers, it’s a loss to one of the few…

Not being critical, just wanted to add on to this:

Ah, but government is good. We need more of it.

This is a good soccer man. The best.

I am definitely aware of your dissatisfaction with me. I get it.

I don’t understand why Thomas never sought a way out. I’m sure the Browns would accommodate his wishes, as he carries a lot of value. If it’s loyalty & comfort I don’t have a problem with it. Millionaire or not, people don’t generally like to move all over the place. But why stay otherwise? I mean, they’re bad. If…

I did not read your replies to other readers, as I have better things to do than scour comments for things to anger myself with. Perhaps you’ll read that as a lack of research into your background, making my original reply rash or poorly thought out. I’d disagree, because as you note later, I thought you were ‘white…

My mind is made up about...what? I commented ‘oh God’, you asked why, I responded. Seems like we’re good here. I have an open mind about a great many things, otherwise.
