I never said you 'can't' judge character of an 18 year old. I am saying a lot is going on behind the scenes and none of us really know the full picture.

Unless you're privy to that info, then I wouldn't judge 'most' kids based on quotes or actions without taking everything into consideration.

But, it's whatever, you have a right to your opinion and I am happy to have your input.

Have a great day.



Duckie, kudos for this classy and respectful response to a post offering an opposing view. Are the posters prone to pissing matches that derail threads paying attention?

My inference from the 1st statement is that the poster is suggesting Quinn is likely faster today rather than the info is irrelevant.

You are wrong


deepdeltatiger was responding to Adam4LSU, who said:

In this context deepdeltatiger is not saying every team member does not like it, he is saying he knows for a fact 1 or more team members do not like it -- denying the universal support Adam4LSU asserted. Unless you have polled every team member, you have no basis -- and claim no basis -- to say deepdeltatiger is wrong.

In my view vulgarity is inappropriate anywhere that ladies and children are welcome. It's rude, immature, classless, and lacks creativity. As an alumnus (alumni is masculine plural, btw) it is embarrassing to me.

Already got a crystal ball pick in from luke Zimmerman to lsu



Zimmerman prolly watched this video. It's called "Bryan Cowart talks Miami," but that's because the Cane Insider reporter asked him about Miami. What he is looking for in a school is one with a strong Criminal Justice program (South Florida kid knows about Shaq), strong defense, and a school that can take him to the next level. When asked for his top 5, he starts off with LSU and justifies why he lists LSU first. He is seriously interested and has researched LSU on you tube. "The practices are intense, the workouts are intense, and once again, like good defensive coaches, everything," he says. He says he is 6-5 245.
"SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS!"


My input on this thread/issue:

https://www.policechiefmagazine.org/ addresses the various "Terry" iterations that regulate police behavior relevant to this discussion. While it is complicated and often unresolved, these excerpts seem clear enough to provide the insight into the Moore, OK case.

quote:

The Terry rule has developed quite a bit since 1968, but some aspects remain murky. In particular, if the suspect refuses to give his name or any identifiers, may an officer arrest the suspect? According to the Supreme Court, the police may arrest for failure to identify if state law criminalizes such behavior.


We know Oklahoma has not criminalized such behavior and so the deceased broke no laws that could have eventuated in an arrest--had he survived the detention.

But what if Oklahoma had such a law?

quote:

Still, the Supreme Court has never dealt squarely with the constitutionality of a state statute that requires production of documentary identification in an investigative detention or the legality of an arrest of a pedestrian for refusal to produce documentary identification. Obviously, if someone is operating a motor vehicle in a public area they can be required to produce the associated privilege license, which of course has the effect of identifying that person.


This says to me that any claim that the Supreme Court has ruled the police have the right to demand a pedestrian's ID even in a state with a statute allowing it in an investigative detention is false.

quote:

But what of suspects who are stopped but are not operating vehicles? Current law generally does not require that ordinary pedestrians even carry documentary identification and it remains to be seen what courts will do with the issues surrounding a requirement of documentary identification. Naturally, if someone is arrested, any documentary identification on that person can be located in the search incident to arrest.


It follows, it seems to me, a demand to produce what the law does not require one to have is patently tyrannical--especially as a pretext to inflict violence/harassment when it is not produced.

quote:

An interesting question arises when state law does not make it a crime to refuse to identify oneself but does clearly allow the police to temporarily detain the suspect and determine his identity. The decision in Hiibel suggests that Terry allows officers to ask for identification as long as the request for identification is reasonably related in scope to the circumstances that justified the initial stop.


The police arrived there in need of determining if any crime had in fact occurred and if the perpetrator or victim was still on the scene. They did not know the name of the perpetrator, so the ID of anyone there was outside the scope of the circumstances that justified any initial stop. Knowing anyone's name would not advance anything.

My intuition tells me the culprit in this matter is the Department of Wildlife (FED, State?) officer, Strang, who was working as a security guard for the theater -- not for the mall's parking lot. What is his jurisdiction? When the local police are on the scene, what authority permits him to leave his post, to interject himself into any investigation, to interrogate standers-by, presume anyone is a threat, esp when there was no evidence that any crime had even occurred. From the above quote it seems like he (and even the actual police) had no right to demand ID from anyone. One cannot have reasonable suspicion of anyone until they have established a crime had been committed. What could they be suspecting him of? The domestic violence charge is suspicious: It's a parking lot, not a home. The 911 caller could not have known the 2-3 people who were screaming at each other (disturbing the peace) were related. If the caller saw the slap, then the caller knew it was a female-female incident and would more likely have stated that than the speculation that the screamers were blood related. Something smelly about that.

Back to Strang. So here's this cop wannabe, abandoning his post to play investigator and interrogating people at random while the actual cops in their jusrisdiction are right there. The deceased makes his fatal act, he tells this little man (in character) to mind his own business. So profoundly bruised is this post-abandoner's ego, that he resolves then and there to give this father grief. He needs to assuage his hurt feelings by extracting a pound of flesh. He persists in his questioning and hears from his intended victim that the wife is the perp and so he needs another reason, any reason, to extract his vengeance. He unlawfully (from the quotes above) demands the deceased to produce a document the deceased is not required to have or produce if he did. The deceased then attempts to go around his aggressor--not away from the police--likely to rejoin his wife and the actual police. The physicality begins at that point and Strang has his way, supported by the then mob mentality that overcomes the 5.

That's what my intuition tells me.

Finally, a word about debates from an amateur: A master does not begin his argument by making absurd, demonstrably false statements like the police are not a part of government. He substanciates his points--especially in matters of law. The use of ad hominem attacks loses big points, and name-calling forfeits the debate.

Points are more easily accepted in a civil exchange. Rudeness does not enhance a position.

As a senior citizen in line to die off, let me suggest our society is losing more than fascists.

All of the responses in this thread so far have been good--entertaining, thoughful, or insightful. Hoping this response does not change that rarity, let me submit that the President America needs today needs to be focused entirely on restoring the Nation Our Founders created. That includes deconstructing the Leviathan it has become and honoring our true rights. He needs to eliminate false rights which impose obligations on others to affect them. He needs to scrap all of these multi-thousand page "free trade" treaties and engage the world in actual free trade.

Our Founders warned us about foreign entanglements, treaties and things like NATO and the UN. We ought heed those warnings. We need to defend our borders, not the globe. Without a welfare state, open immigration/borders would not be an issue.

Because our current President is a Mussolini style facist, the best thing he can be focused on is playing golf -- as suggested above. A legitimately American President needs to focus on deconstruction (esp the bureaucracy and the Federal Reserve), liberation, and establishing national and international free trade.

More importantly, We the People, through our state legislatures, need to convene a Constitution Convention to reassert Our Founding Principles, eliminating things like the income tax, Federal Reserve notes (in lieu of dollars), the ACA and all things tyrannical. The Federal Government has "forgotten its place" and needs to be compelled back into its proper constrained minimalist role.

I'm just going to say its because those positions aren't valued highly. To LSU they are, but most schools not so much. Plus I guess its hard to project those guys on the next level. Kicker spots don't open up much in the pros. Usually it just seems like the sane recycled names.


This. The services' rankings do not value classes well of teams with LSU's style of play and priorities.

quote:

star ratings are based on NFL draft stock...for instance, a kicker rarely gets drafted no matter how good he is...hence the 3 star ranking. same for fullbacks.

Stars have little to do with how good a player currently is and more to do with how he projects in 4 years in the draft.


And this is entirely on point; 5-star recruits are the services' best guess of who will be drafted in the first round of the draft when the recruits come out. A review of how well those guesses have panned out in the past shows they are consistently correct on about 4 out of 32. Sometimes a little better. That performance strikes me as pathetic. So their poor evaluations of teams like LSU comes at the expense of doing an even poorer job achieving their goal of predicting the first round.

Another way of looking at this is that services ignore the team with which the players choose to sign. Their ranking of a player is independent of the team for which he will play. If Ducre signed with aTm, his 3-star FB rating would be an effective 2-star. At LSU, Ducre's 3-star rating is an effective high 4 or even 5.

So take the services with a grain of salt. They are the second best thing we have as recruiting fans. The best thing we have is our coaches' evaluations, which insiders leak out.

Are you a Liberal Arts major? :lol: My confusion was due to not understanding your meaning of two terms you introduced, "liberalism" and "believers" and my request was that you define them, if my interpretation was in error.
It's strange that you end up asking me to define "believers," your term that you put in quotes but didn't define. You were asked first!

The context of your usage of the word "liberal(ism)" in your second post makes it clear you mean the modern corrupted meaning, that is: That mid to late 20th Century and early 21st Century Marxist movement in the United States calculated to destroy that country, formerly called "progressive" in the early 20th Century America and known elsewhere as "socialism" or more generally as "Marxism."

Your confusion can be resolved by reading both your original post and my OP. This thread is about Glenn Greenwald's most recent release of Snowden documents. They reveal online activities by paid covert agents designed to destroy the reputations of administration opponents, infiltration of online political communities, and the shaping of political discourse to undermine political opposition. The documents reveal a wide range of tactics, "gambits of deception," these agents have been using to affect those objectives. This board is a candidate for targeting, and the subject could be of interest to everyone who posts here.

Consider the actions of every Marxist regime throughout the 20th Century. Hundreds of millions of silenced opposition in Russia and China.



Stalin and Moa didn't employ Marxism. What they did was in direct defiance of Marxism on many accounts.



Perhaps by the accounts of misinforming Marxists! Both communism and socialism are Marxist manifestations. Fascism is the term two socialist nations (Italy and Germany) adopted to identify their brand of socialism. The iconic symbol of the European Axis Powers, the Fasci,


bound reeds forming a strong weapon, represented industries bound by government to give them strength. Today we say "corporatism" to approximate the same idea. Both Hitler and Musolini were the respective leaders of their National Socialist (Nazi) Parties. We are describing an economic systen marked by centralized control of the nationalized means of production -- big government determining, what and how much is made by whom for whom, with government having first dibbs on everything. Marx was an economist and this idea of central control, top down, of nationalized industries was Marx' repudiation of capitalism, which he regarded as evil and exploitative. Some believe he merely restated the ideas of the earlier Adam Weishaupt of Bavaria, founder of the Illuminati in 1776. A year later he was initiated into the Masonic Lodge.

Communism takes Marx' repudiation of capitalism to its extreme form. The centralized control extends to EVERYTHING. Not only are industries nationalized, everthing and everyone are nationalized. Nobody owns anything -- except the Party Elite, of course, the more equal.

So we see in Europe and Russia the political spectrum was entirely Marxist with the "left wing" being the communists, the "right wing" being socialists. When you hear the term "right wing fascist," this is the context in which it was originally expressed, the European political spectrum.

China later adopted the Marxist left wing as indeed did the bulk of asia. Communists are fully Marxist; there is no capitalism at all, as seen in socialist states which preserve capitalism on the individual scale. Under communism the individual is reduced to what Marx calls a "species being" that (not who) functions perfunctorily and godlessly in the service of his species. Marxists are hostile to religion as he is famously quoted as saying "religion is the opiate of the masses," What he actually said is

quote:

Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.
Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right



Such lofty rhetoric reveals the arrogance typical of Marxists: they know what makes you happy, since you are opiated, you cannot. The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Later Mao reportedly said to the Dalai Lama "Religion is Poison" as he expelled him and began a relentless oppression of his people. They always know what's best for other people.

quote:

Nazi Germany was fascist, the opposite of Marxism.


A Marxist anxious to distance himself from Hitler told you that. It's nonsense. Marxism is the foundation of both socialism and communism. Look it up. :lol:

Indeed. This is akin to the idea of controlled opposition. We are given the illusion of choice. From the perspective of Obama's puppet masters, the Republicans are also controlled opposition. Both parties' leadership have the same agenda dictated by their bosses. One achieves it at a faster rate, but they share the same ultimate destination, a place alien to both parties' membership. Members of the Republican Party believe they are opposing Democrats. This is illusion. And vice verse. Good cop, bad cop. One day the two parties' members will awaken in a place neither anticipated, because they have both been expertly manipulated into the Neofeudalist state the masters have intended all along. They will have been victimized by their hatred for each other, blinded by their respective highly polarized world view.

That IS creepy. In the run up to the 2010 elections we know the IRS was effectively active in silencing opposition. It is not a stretch to suppose the regime was active on more than one front to achieve their objective.

The influx of "believers" who have newly registered and posted on this board over the last 2 or so are pretty much the same thing.

What an explosion of liberalism. I'm sure it's just happenstance.




Again, my plea is ignorance -- and confusion. So forgive me if my interpretation of your post is erroneous.

By "believers" you mean the religious that come in both political stripes? Are you saying the religious among the citizenry who have come to this board are the same thing as government-paid covert agents who are following orders with the intent of foiling or even destroying opposition to the administration's agenda? It's hard for me to believe you cannot discriminate between those two.

When you say "liberalism," do you mean the world view of Our Founders, who were liberals, or do you mean the sullied hyjacked term of today which is antithetical to Our Founders? My ignorance of this explosion precludes me from knowing which you think has occurred in the last 2 (years?)

It's pretty certain authentic "believers" are not being paid by the Obama administration to advance the values of Our Founding. There could be covert agents posing as "believers" and posting outrageous positions to discredit true believers. This is exactly the sort of false flag tactic the Snowden documents reveal to be happening. Is this what you mean?

I made a formal accusation last year against a poster on here. Did research, found their posting pattern all over the net.

They have to be somewhere. The documents establish that they are in this type of environment.

Extravagant hedonism is not a capital crime and may pale compared to the Brave New World that approaches with The Singularity that will precipitate it. We passed "prudent Regulation" a long time ago; nowhere is the Cloward-Piven strategy more evident than in the over-regulation intended to paralyze industry and the economy more generally. A true free market (last seen pre-FDR) is the best regulator.

You find it hard to believe because you are rational and unafflicted by a dangerous mental illness! While the shedding of blood is anathema to US, it is a way of life to Marxists -- it's how they usually seize complete power, what they do, who they are. They have no qualms about killing their opposition. None. Your Prog friends may be appalled when the puppet masters give the order, but they will quietly go along with it as the domestic army and foreign troops in our armed forces carry it out along with the drones and robotic weapons currently and about to be in full production.

I really do not think it is Marxist. They are not following some play book. It is just how people are who think they know better than everyone else. They are controlling and they think anything is fair game as long as it gets them to their end game. It is some genetic disorder. Maybe narcissism or something similar.



While Obama is an example supporting your genetic theory (his alleged father was a devout Marxist), don't preclude the possibility that it is both a genetic AND a mental disorder like narcissism. It strikes me as a mental disease charcaterized by envy, need to control others, hubris, and the delusion that once their agenda is affected, they'll be okay -- as if being a slave is okay.

He follows the Sol Alinsky playbook, Rules for Radicals -- he taught a course on that at the University of Chicago. Also, he is applying the Cloward–Piven strategy he picked up at Columbia, overwhelming our system to break it. His corporatism includes unions, so the triunvirate he is installing (with government binding the two, the Fasci) follows the Musolini paradigm. Sounds like Marxism to me...

Forgive me if you see me continue to refer to his maladaption as Marxism, granting that it is a homicidal mental disorder.

My reading comprehension skills have waned over the past few decades, but it seems like you are of the opinion that these personal attacks are not yet ongoing. If so, please read the documentation that supports the cited link on the OP: the attacks ARE ongoing and highly effective.

"Too good to lose?" What do you think "fundamentally transform America" means? He means to install a Marxist state where everyone is enslaved in service of that state. Hello? Haven't you looked at what little history is not sealed about Obama? His mentors, his associates, his family? He is a Musolini-style fascist intent on making America Italy c.1938. He needs to eliminate opposition to that design and he's well into it. Read the documents.

What makes you think this?



History. Consider the actions of every Marxist regime throughout the 20th Century. Hundreds of millions of silenced opposition in Russia and China. Before that, Hitler, the leader of the Germany National Socialist Party (Nazi), conducted pograms to eliminate opposition and undesireables. Castro did the same thing. It's the same story in every country where Marxists take over.

Obama is in control, but he still has a few loose constraints on him by the Constitution. He's trying to eliminate the few that remain. But what was the IRS' actions against the Tea Party, conservatives, etc., if not a covert action to silence opposition? He attacks Fox News because it's the only network he does not control (the MSM). NC Tigah above gave his own example. The Article that provoked your quoted remark by me EXPRESSLY asserts that free speech and Liberalism (read Marxism) cannot coexist--and boldly states that means free speech must go. It's rare that a Marxist is that honest. The reason is simple: free speech includes true speech. Nothing is truer than the creator-granted freedoms that are engraved in our hearts. True speech envokes the heart, which responds. We yearn for freedom. Marxism sees the individual as a "species being," subservient to the collective. It is first and last the enslavement of the individual for the purported good of the whole. It isn't, of course, it is just for the good of the elite who control everyone, because as Orwell says, "some animals are more equal than others."

Both history and the present are littered with examples of Marxists oppressing people and denying them the rights we know to be our inheritance as human beings. Inalienable, Our Founders said.
