I’m additionally depressed now that hockey season is done and LSU baseball is absolute buttcheeks. :banghead:

Playoff Otter fricking SUCKS


Bro, Dallas gets swept if Jake doesn’t play as well as he has. That period alone should’ve been 3 maybe 4-0



ETA: downvote all you want dude, it’s true. And I love Dallas. Want them to win badly but outside of Robo, it’s a bunch of no shows right now for the stars.
If not for Otter standing on his head in game 2, Dallas’ season would be over. Frankly, Otter may be the only reason Dallas didn’t get swept.
quote:

The score won’t show it, but Dallas just got the shite beat out of them.



Sadly, yes. They’re making life really easy on the goalie for Minnesota. You can’t be halfway through the third with like 16 SOG or whatever it was.

He was toast after throwing Otter under the bus.



Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it was a bad move to can Pete. Just sucks to be not quite good enough again.

Big reason why they fired Pete. And yet, here we are.

While I agree there's a certain amount of pointing and laughing, it mainstreams crazy ideals that spread to other states.


I think one just hopes that we see these policies play out on the state level to serve as a warning to the rest of the country as to why those policies don't work. Ideally, yes, they would never be instituted anywhere at all but at least we can point to non-theoretical examples of why it doesn't work.
It's incredible that it's a controversial thing to believe that people should be productive if they're physically able to, especially if they receive tax dollars.

Katie Porter is going to win Calif. Governor's race


And if that happens, California will get exactly what it deserves, just like New York is getting what it deserves from Mayor free shite.

Brother, plenty of us are just normal people trying to live our lives. I'll say that more of us in the community need to denounce the behavior, or at least deal with it ourselves.

Salviati's post is unproductive because he's missing the bigger picture. Even if most blacks aren't violent, there's still a larger than expected percentage that are.


I appreciate your willingness to address the reality of the situation here and I am happy that there are many in the black community who are just as sick of this shite as everyone else. The amount of black parents that are burying their sons and daughters everyday in this country from ridiculous acts of gang and other senseless violence is sickening. Honestly, change in the black community is going to have to come from the inside out. It's going to change when, imo, black men stand up in high enough numbers and say enough is enough. Until then, I fear not much is going to change culturally.

Couldn't help but notice your abrupt departure from this thread. :lol:
Man, Nate’s beat down was brutal.

So we can’t label trends seen in certain demographics until it reaches 50.1% of the population of that demographic? Is that the case you’re trying to make?
quote:

Black American men are exponentially more violent than any other demographic. It’s undeniable.



He’s not going to answer in good faith. He’s going to say that because the majority of YBM’s do not commit violent crime, it’s wrong to paint them as having an issue with VC. It’s a stupid argument because logically, all it would take to “prove” his point is for 49% or less to be violent criminals. Theres about 4.5 million black males 15-30 in the US right now. If 2.2 million of them were violent criminals, he can claim he’s “correct” by his logic. It’s a dumb red herring.
quote:

So you appear to understand the meaning of "young black males," "are," and "violent." Which is the word that is vague to you: "what" or "percentage"?


I understand how I define it but that doesn’t mean I automatically understand how you define it. It’s why debaters define terms.
quote:

What percentage of young black males are violent?



Seriously? Okay sure, how do you define violent? Do you consider only criminal violence to be violence? What about school violence? Is it lifetime likelihood to be violent or just how many are violent is some way in a given year? There’s plenty of vagueness there. Klark is correct though. You’re trying to zoom out to make a point that I didn’t contend with. Never said majority of YBM’s are violent.
No it’s a shittily worded question and you know it. It’s full of vagueness so that you can draw someone into a false premise. No one is going to play your game. You can keep trying though if you’d like.
quote:

The emoticon does not answer the question. Please answer the question. What percentage of young black males are violent?



It’s a shittily worded question designed to put people into a corner so you can strawman their arguments and make yourself feel better.


Does the fact that the majority of the population of Afghanistan is not part of the Taliban mean that there isn’t a very large problem with the Taliban in that country? You’re trying to frame to score points and it’s not going to work.

Racism is not a beautiful concept . . . even when you try to sugarcoat it.



Yeah, the “racism” term has been used to convince people to ignore their eyes and instincts. No one is playing along with that game anymore.

I like statistical facts. Huge fan, really. Please give me this statistical fact: What percentage of young black males are violent?



Would you like murder? Robbery?


By the way, nice subtle attempt to change the conversation. I didn’t say that the majority of YBM’s are violent criminals. I said that the majority of violent crime is committed by YBM’s. That’s two different things.
