OT: Random thoughts and posts

John McCain’s mother is at this ceremony at the capital building. She is 106. Crazy!

I saw that she was still alive a few days ago. A quote from her saying how hard it was to bury your children. Lots of things went through my head, not all appropriate for the time. Very unusual situation.

If you haven’t watch “If I leave here tomorrow” a documentary on Lynyrd Skynyrd, do so. It is fantastic. Currently on Showtime.
 
Drove right by here today and immediately recognized it.

I quit drinking 7 years ago. Maybe had a beer here and there over the 7 yrs. but before that was a full blown alchemy. today and tomorrow my family is away and it’s just me. im Drunk.

Btw- Baby Kam is our best back receiving and in the open. Gus has to find a way to get him in space or teach Boob how to catch.

I should edit alchemy but that word is fuggin bauce.

Are you ok? If so, enjoy being drunk. If you aren't ok the Trust Tree that is the Greg is here to support you.
 
Clay travis is melting down so hard about the nike colin kaepernick ad. Probably because it makes him and his new book look bad.

I'm torn on the issue. I don't really believe Cap isn't playing because he took a knee, and I don't really agree with the point of the knee taking, but looking down on non-violent protest isn't American. It's the most appropriate way to protest in my eyes.
 
I think Nike is fuggin stupid just for the fact that previously their poster boys were guys like LeBron, Jordan, Tiger.

Cap might be doing a fine protest or whatever, but he's not a winner, he was being benched and took a shot in the dark for attention because of his skin color....

I'm not going to not buy jordans because they are good shoes, but I certainly don't exactly love the idea of being associated with losers like Cap.

Peaceful protest is dope, I just wish someone who was better at football had led(lead?) it and that Nike had considered the impact promoting him would have on their brand.

again, not going to exactly boycott them, but yeah I don't really have a reason to look at Cap as a winner and neither does anyone else, and well...Nike is the goddess of victory after all, so its just anti brand imo.

Also SJW culture is moronic in the first place.

Glad you got that off your chest
 
I'm interested to see how it works for Nike. I think the two messages kind of co align so it makes sense. The backlash will wear off soon and then I expect a bunch of other top level Nike athletes to start supporting it. I don't think it was dumb at all since the day of "silent athletes" are gone now. Might as well start embracing their outspokenness because there's no way to contain it anyway.
 
I think it's great. Nike makes billions of dollars off of african american athletes and it's about time they support an issue that is clearly important to these athletes and the communities they are from. We'll likely see more companies pick social issues to support much like the not so subtle flag waving by telecom companies with veterans.
 
I respect the rights of companies to do as they please. If Nike wants to support this then good for them. If the baker wants to deny service for religious convictions then good for him. Freedom of conscience for business owners and customers is good for everyone.
 
I have more important things to do than worry about Nike and who they hell the choose to be a sponsor. Spending time on the Greg, worshiping Bruce, and looking for solid puhorn just to name a few.
 
I just wanna know where dems have to go from here on the drama scale. They've ratcheted this shit up to 100 for a solid two years. It's weird.

Also kind of feels like if it keeps going this way for another decade or something we'll wind up with a real civil war in my lifetime, also weird.

There might be some small uprisings and violence eventually but I can’t even fathom the logistics of how a civil war is even possible in the United States

Someone in the military capable of gaining control of a large portion of the weapons joining the rebelling side seems like the only plausible scenario to me.

People talk and people act. But 95% or greater of the population are ultimately apathetic. Zero chance anyone can organize a large enough group of peiple spread out over half the states to actually make something happen. There's nothing actually to fight about. Identity politics, abortion, or immigration isn't an essential part of anyone's economy like slavery was. There's just nothing to actually fight over except petty shit and that's it. Can't see anything serious happening. Just too dumb and just too logistically impossible.

I certainly wouldn't bet in favor of it happening. If I had to pick a topic, I would go with guns.

Something like dems push a law or rig an election that texas doesn't like enough. They could start a war and you'd have a lot of military guys backing it, idk though either but Rome had similar situations..I'm drunk and this is a tough topic to really dig down on though, how a civil war in a first world country would work in the 21st century....could make a good book.

Identity politics are not petty when the left talks about white men today like they talked about Jews in 1939. That's not a joke, and like it or not the circumstances and the rhetoric are very similar. All it takes is a bad economy, a few years of desperation, and a radical leader and guess what demographic is going to be blamed for all of it.

by the way, the plan was absolutely to disarm the population, that's been made abundantly clear by a media who was now clearly colluding with a specific political party and there was a plan to pack the courts and reintroduce legislation to reclassify weapons so as to make 2A essentially useless.

I'm a little ****ed up at the moment but yeah the signs were pretty obvious and right there for anyone to see if they looked. Some shit like that goes down and there would absolutely be a war or a mass exodus, one or the other.

Pretty sure that Fortnite was created to prepare our children for Civil War II, which will be funded through in app purchases.

Here's an excerpt from a NYT piece written in 2015, it was the first thing that came up when I googled "are white people a problem" but trust me there are tons of articles addressing this and basically saying "yes"

"If you are white, and you are reading this letter, I ask that you don’t run to seek shelter from your own racism. Don’t hide from your responsibility. Rather, begin, right now, to practice being vulnerable. Being neither a “good” white person nor a liberal white person will get you off the proverbial hook. I consider myself to be a decent human being. Yet, I’m sexist. Take another deep breath. I ask that you try to be “un-sutured.” If that term brings to mind a state of pain, open flesh, it is meant to do so. After all, it is painful to let go of your “white innocence,” to use this letter as a mirror, one that refuses to show you what you want to see, one that demands that you look at the lies that you tell yourself so that you don’t feel the weight of responsibility for those who live under the yoke of whiteness, your whiteness.

I can see your anger. I can see that this letter is being misunderstood. This letter is not asking you to feel bad about yourself, to wallow in guilt. That is too easy. I’m asking for you to tarry, to linger, with the ways in which you perpetuate a racist society, the ways in which you are racist. I’m now daring you to face a racist history which, paraphrasing Baldwin, has placed you where you are and that has formed your own racism."
