@Jolly said in The Obscene Sweatshirt: If the Brandon shirts go, the gay pride stuff needs to go. Presumably "River to the Sea" shirts are still acceptable?

@jon-nyc said in Reparations now: Interesting to think about the fact that all the black people who want reparations would never have existed were it not for chattel slavery. Keep thinking like that and you'll end up a pro-lifer.

Do yourself a favor, start the prep for the prep a day or 2 early. Cut down on the amount eaten early. You won’t regret it.

Best comment on twitter: Robert Reich is our Dmitry Medvedev.

@George-K said in Pickin' Cotton: @Jolly said in Pickin' Cotton: Kamala would get a more polite interview from Hannity. And, he'd probably air the entire thing, rather than a select 18 minutes. No, you'd get the whole enchilada. He'd interrupt, because Hannity interrupts everybody, but he wouldn't be as obnoxious as NBC's critter.

Well, that sucked...Kelly can't win a first game to save his life.

Very lucky. Replay it 10 times and he dies at least once, for his decision to fight back.

Pretty stupid to make it more difficult for Brady to call games.

Black people are among the most rascist folks in the country. The WNBA is over 73% black. White players are only 17% of the league. The goal of any team should be to put the best players they have on the court, no matter if all are green. Subsequently, the money that fans pay for seats, is all the same color. By putting the best product on the court, the WNBA assures they have the most butts in the seats. It's head-banging stupid to let your best players get hurt on purpose.

One of the biggest advantages for the right when the cultural/civil war goes hot? All these idiots like to live clustered together. We won’t need to use as many munitions.

@Doctor-Phibes said in The Church Graph: @taiwan_girl said in The Church Graph: @Jolly said in The Church Graph: High Church - ceremony, sacraments , ecclesiastical hierarchy. Low Church - Scripture as ultimate authority with little ritual. Thanks! (Not quite sure what all that means, so will have to study and find out. LOL) High Church Anglican - dresses up in robes, has service in 16th century building with a bunch of old people Low Church Anglican - jeans in a village hall (sometimes with heating!) with a bunch of old people and a few younger people Some thoughts... Don't care for the casualness of much of the Christian church today. No, I'm not advocating protestant preachers don priestly robes, but I find the polo and khaki pants thing a bit denigrating to God. While God will take people as they are and a man's soul matters more than his garments, I think God also demands our best. I think God demands respect. I also think dressing in one's "Sunday Best" programs the mind and spirit into realizing that coming together with fellow believers for a worship service is a special event, even if it occurs weekly. And I think that should extend from the laity to the clergy. I also like a bit of ritual within a church. I think rituals are important for continuity and for reassurance. Being Baptist, the two sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist are important for both their individual and collective significance. Other denominations have more, but all have their place within that denomination's belief structure.

Great. Now explain why the military always fires at that poor guy, Will?

@Jolly said in Boars Head: @taiwan_girl said in Boars Head: If Boars Head was building nuclear reactors and were hiring illegal immigrants with a Grade 5 education, there may be something there. But slicing meat and putting in packages, I dont think that illegal immigrants are any less qualified when compare to a lower educated legal immigrant or citizen. English. I understand yoru point but I am guessing if you go into ANY meat packing plant in the US, any egg factory, it will be the same situation. As @jon-nyc says, immigrant workers have been used in these types of plants for 100+ years.

@89th said in Yarn Bombing in Virginia: It’s very true about Del Ray. Love the area, nice strip of shops, we’d go there often for community events, and wanted to move there except it’s like $2 million for an old bungalow with bad parking… You should have worn a MAGA hat and recorded what happened.
