If you think that an 11 year old stealing clothes 100 years ago, or whatever, has anything to do with why a spoiled athlete is disrespecting the symbol of his country, well, then our thought processes are vastly different.

One could argue as the athletes have, they are not disrespecting the flag they are respecting what it stands for. You are conflating the meaning of the flag and what it stands for.

He has no idea what the flag stands for. He should have those rights he can't recognize in others taken from him.

Rly? I'll pop back in a bit and explain if you like :)



Did that help at all...? *

You see... from what I've read, you seem to be the only one who seems to think that.

Bless... ;)

*If not: The bit circled in blue - that's what you said. The bit in red? Well that's what I said in response. Need more help...? Just ask :) I don't mind.

Sorry Mr. Socialist. I do not believe in placing individuals into certain 'tribes' and then giving them negative and positive attributes.

As both the Radical Right and Radical Left have a need to.
You already have & always do, so WHAT tribes are left in your book that can make matters right?

Hi Sirius B...

Your question, and therefore your apparent belief in placing individuals in Tribes because of their eye color, hair color, skin color, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Then assigning a Positive and Negative to those Tribes.

Confirms all I have opined. Keep it up :-D

I'm sure he didn't mean that sort of tribes, Sirius probably meant the Right, Center and Left tribes that are not at the radical extremes.

So you'll just keep on deflecting as usual Clyde?

You've been doing that for years on end already and always in the negative. LOL

fO Decades and Decades I Could NOT STAND watching Anthem before NFLGames. Players would Shuck&Jive; Fidgit; Roll Eyes; Pace; Do Squats; etc etc etc and WORSE of ALL, they Would SPIT. Knowing Full Well Camera is On Them. And ALL WATCHing Knew what THEY WERE 'SAYin' with Their 'Antics'.

So THANK GOoDness a Couple and I HOPE MORE, Channels have Decided to NOT SHOW these DISGUSTING ANTICs of these 'PROTESTERs'.

Suppose Commercials will be In Place of Anthem. A REASON I CAN GIVE UP WATCHing - is TOO MANY COMMERCIALs. Along with DISGUSTING ANTICs. During Anthem and During Game.

Yeah.

Hail to the......

p.s. Would It be OK to Name a Team 'Put City Here' APEs?

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

Agree or disagree, the question remains valid.
I would very much like to hear your solution, Clyde.
Where is the sweet spot in politics?
I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.
I fight them because they are fascists.

With regards to China's unfettered capitalism, do you agree that compared to China, America is a sweet & innocent virgin? If your answer is no, explain why.
