You should bet as much money as you can on Ole Miss.


Why? I don't think they will win.

Lesson number 1 for us might be that if we want to continue being the world power we are, we need to have a counter for these things to protect our ships if we don't already.
Losing the job would be disastrous for his career and Tramell Jones honestly looked better than him in spots as a freshman coming off a broken leg or some kind of injury.

His "camp" also didn't want him to have surgery last off-season, which caused some lingering issues supposedly.
The funniest part about all of UGA's legal issues is your fans thinking certain local media members have it out for you just because they report on this stuff :lol:
He's also stupid. Maybe the dumbest vandy player ever?

If they played like they did in Atlanta they aren’t losing.


If they play like they did in Atlanta the week before last they aren't winning either.

They got two short fields against a team that couldn't move the ball and scored 4 times. The week before they scored 16 points.

I don't really think Bama's defense is all that great right now compared to some of the other playoff teams.

I just don't know what to make of them. Don't think I would bet against them but also not sure I can see them beating an Ohio St, Indiana, or Oregon. I legitimately won't be surprised if they win it all or lose their first game.
Yes it does suck. We just got back to where we can beat Florida regularly and at least be competitive with Georgia and now we don't play :lol:
Interesting that there was a shift toward "easily agree to this option" between September and December.

I think knowing exactly how the survey was conducted, how the questions were presented, and who was asked would be pretty important in this case. "Hard to say" and "completely unacceptable" both not changing at all is kind of a red flag in a data science sense.

Do you believe we should have provided 150 billion dollars in aid


Definitely no to this part by itself :lol:

Do you believe we should have provided 150 billion dollars in aid only to have Ukraine relinquish territory that they currently possess, have them change to a Russian controlled government and not get anything to secure their new borders?


If we have intelligence saying things are going to get worse for Ukraine maybe, but most likely not in my opinion.

So you know what the sunk cost fallacy is? It's at least partly why we stayed in Afghanistan for so long.

Though I do think you're presenting some of the demands in a bit of sensationalist way, I would say asking for land you don't already control and realistically won't be able to obtain through force in the near future is pretty ridiculous.
I think we "highly encouraged" them to sign a deal in recent months, absolutely.

quote:

Why would wd give them billions in aid and then get them in s bad deal?


Maybe current leadership thinks it's a good deal and that Ukraine wont get one as good in the future?
quote:


If we force them to sign a bad peace deal it is. That’s what I am talking about.



We can't force them to do anything or a deal would have been signed already.
quote:

They think defending Ukraine at any cost is just as important as securing our border and improving the economy.


Most of them have had politicians telling them for decades that Russia was going to end the world and must be stopped at any cost. The programming is hard coded.

Thankfully that was fictional. But they are very much a sub-regional issue, though imo not one to Europe more broadly.
quote:

We have and it would be stupid to fritter away all we’ve done by selling out Ukraine


If we have already done a lot, it's not selling them out
quote:

There have been plenty of people on this board that recommended we do nothing. That opinion had been prevalent here and in these war threads.


We have done something. People wanting something in the past done differently can be noted but is irrelevant ultimately. I think Europe should step up and we should focus on things important to us going forward, knowing we have already given plenty to Ukraine.

Diversity on its own leads to incompetence because it doesn't factor in competency.

If certain groups need more help, try to help them so they can EARN a seat at the table, not be given it.

We can protect our borders and honor our commitments that we’ve made to other countries. It’s not an either or.


We have honored our commitment to Ukraine, and then some. The narrative that we haven't is honestly insulting to the US imo.

Also can =/= should. And I'm not sure we actually can... Not because we don't have the resources, but I'm not sure we have the bandwidth. It takes our inept government so long to do anything that isn't pro-Israel that we actually do need to pick and choose what is worth that bandwidth and what isn't.

I think this issue is absolutely worth Europe's. Not as sure about ours.
Totally makes sense for Z to pursue those guarantees. Doesn't make sense for us to give them. But he will probably end up getting something that is basically Article 5-lite.

You're obsessed with what I pay the husband and wife team who takes care of my yard because after I posted what I pay them each time they mow my yard you did the math and realized I pay each of them more per hour than what you make.


I'm not obsessed with anything, I'm concerned with your exploitation of immigrant labor. And I would wager that I make way more than you :lol: maybe not counting the disability checks you get since you apparently can't take care of your own house.

quote:

The husband has told me more than once that I'm their best paying customer. I doubt they think I am"exploiting" them.


So they don't even realize you're exploiting them, makes it even more sad.
Sorry, I don't think much of you so I wasn't worried about proofreading my response like I would be with someone actually wanting to discuss the issues this thread is about :cheers:
