They all know more than the people who have dedicated decades to this kind of research and then try to literally redefine what a vaccine is. Welcome to America where opinions carry the same weight as facts for whatever reason... https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/north-texas-gym-owner-urges-vaccines-after-he-nearly-died-from-covid-19/2718131/

All the conservatives in this thread conveniently forgetting how the Trump admin got 5000 taliban prisoners released.

Probably be more like the Round Rock Bills, Austin won't pony up for an NFL stadium, rightfully so.

Not sure the question but it's one thing to come on here as a fan of another school and discuss conference realignments and some simple trash talk the week before a game, but this guy's #1 hobby is logging into a site he has no affiliation with and just trolling and trashing up threads. A lot of people here might not like what I have to say but I'm an alumnus who actually cares about this program and can contribute to the discussion. This guy is just some random loser from the school down the road who only posts to rile people up and adds nothing. I can always just block their posts, but I'm baffled why the people who run this site have let it go on for so long.

*Sighs heavily* Here, take my upvote.

Why do the mods/admin allow this guy to just constantly shit on our school as if he brings anything new to the table?

ah right, I guess I was thinking of Golden. Both great cities wedged up against the mountains.

CU is in Boulder, about 20 minutes West of Denver. Fort Collins (Colorado State) is about an hour north of Denver.

DD's game plan included on onside kick after we were up 14-0. It was almost like the guy could actually win if he just put his heart into it.

What's a Barnes and Noble, is that like a real life amazon store or something?

I was at the Golden Triangle Mall back in the day and the players all came in through an entrance to the Country Buffet the night before a game. As I left the mall Dickey just gave me a cold stare while he dragged a cig. I was a critic of his sure, but I was never quite sure if he was mistaking me for someone else or if that was just his RBF.

How does HBU plan on going D-1 with a 5k seat stadium? For that matter UIW as well?

I absolutely am, he's surprised me so far. I'm not gonna get in a back and forth about what I'm happy with, so I'll just say I appreciate having a president that doesn't promote the qanon brainwashing cult the way the previous guy did.

Didn't vote for him, but he already has a better approval rating than Trump ever did, so it seems the most people are satisfied with his approach.

Maybe you can understand Dave Chappelle better. https://youtu.be/3tR6mKcBbT4?t=1335

The public didn't choose George Floyd, Derek Chauvin did. Same for this situation.

Trump is a deranged person, is that what you meant to say?

Yes, for plenty of reasons beyond that though.

Will someone please think of those poor insurrectionists! People are calling them stupid on the internet! It's so uncivilized!

I'm really not saying either way and I didn't mean to stray from the topic. It's 4 pages full of talk and recent activities of the police nationwide and people discussing reforms. I added a story that's very relevant to the topic at hand, but it's not a "see these cops are all insurrectionists trumpers", simply that the article reveals an unusually high number of police belong to those doing the most illegal of acts 4 months ago. So does that mean 20% of them supported it? I won't make that conclusion, but it speaks to the culture of police when you have one or two similar occupations making up that large of a percentage. Here's a portion of AWS' lawsuit into why they dropped them, so make of that what you will. Please don't make me defend amazon any more than i have to though.

Yeah sure, totally wasn't the hate speech and the conspiracy to commit treason parts.

Then I'm not quite sure you get what I'm saying then. If 20% of the insurrections came from gomeangreen.com then the site would probably be shut down, the same way that action was taken against parler on the app stores. UNT would probably be under a ton of scrutiny purely for the loose affiliation with them, and I bet a lot of us would be banned from UNT sporting events rightly or wrongly. If 20% of the insurrections are police or military, then what does that say about the culture, training, and standards that are currently set for these institutions?

There's not really a correlation or a line I'm trying to draw here. This is a thread about police abuses and reforms, I'm asking why that high of a percentage of insurrections turned out to be police or military, and asking what that says about the standards of who is in the police force. If you can find info that says 40% of them graduated from Indiana State or 35% were accountants, then you'd probably be asking the same questions.

I'm focusing on the fact that we don't seem to have very high standards for policing if 1 of every 6 of the insurrectionists was either a current or former police officer. If you want to believe they're just good upstanding U.S. citizens who are only guilty of doing what they thought was right, then no, we'll never meet in the middle on that. If you want to know how it got to that point then the answer is plain as day: unregulated "news" readily available on facebook and gab and twitter at their disposal 24 hours a day. lol
