    The Well-Mannered Politics Thread

    Can only speak for myself, but I don't expect anyone outside of my immediate family to be a role model or act as the moral compass. On top of that, let's call a spade a spade....90% of politicians are either scum or don't care about the general public, only advancing their own personal...

    The Well-Mannered Politics Thread

    As opposed to what, CNN, Vox, Daily Kos, The View and Rachel Madcow? Lets not pretend that one side is more informed or more intelligent than the other. As a right leaning moderate, I find the hypocrisy of both sides to be laughable.

    Yeah I dunno about that. This used to be a bipartisan issue. Steelers and their fans are deplorable, and that's just the way the world worked. Now we have these extremists claiming that they are "humans" and "have a spark of divinity". Unacceptable.

    It's just a shame that you could not be a man as well and admit that whether it was your intention to do so or not, you called me racist. In front of everyone.

    You're certainly not wrong, and is why I guess we were all a bit skeptical of this thread at the beginning, but for the most part, that hasn't happened here in our thread. From what I can tell, there has been some spirited debate, plenty of disagreement, and a lot of cordial discussion, but no...

    I would respectfully ask that this thread remain open. We're 190 pages deep, and has gone fine for the most part. Regrettably, I used a word that I should not have; and I apologize for any offense that it may have caused. I wasn't aware that it is perceived as a slur against muslims, but...

    How do they fit the definition? Because you made the assumption that since none of them were lilly white, it must be racist? It couldn't possibly be because he doesn't know these women personally and saw the names? It couldn't be because the [Muslim (edited by a moderator)] was not born in this...

    * Except when it fits liberal propaganda. Then you're a delusional racist and dictionaryphobe if you don't like what words actually mean. Since he doesn't like Merriam, how about the Oxford English dictionary, since that is the standard bearer of the english speaking world. racism NOUN mass...

    You're right about one thing, you aren't going to have me pretend that what Trump said was "racist" just because you want to redefine what the word means. But you may be onto something after all. I'm two days behind on a project at work. If I miss the deadline, I can just tell my boss about how...

    Agreed, it means little to me personally as well, aside from it being a part of our history. I expect that is what 99.9% of people would have said if asked last friday night as well....I really hate all these political games that go on today.

    Not really. As we've already said several times, the flag was a non-issue before Krapernick fabricated the outrage and resentment it would supposedly cause. When was the last time you even heard the BR flag talked about?

    We know that to be true because most of these people with an opinion on it didn't even know the name Betsy Ross before Krapernick. Nobody was talking about it; and certainly not in the way they talk about the confederate flag. Truth hurts. Why aren't these very same people upset with Nike...

    Yeah I just reread that....too narrow...too little arch support....not much else a shoe is supposed to do is there? lol When I go walking or running for a long time, the pain usually forms in my calfs, especially on the outer sides. That's where Nikes usually hold up really well for me. "Side...

    I actually really liked those shoes Nike was going to drop before Krapaernik opened his filthy mouth. I would have bought a pair. Only thing I don't like about Nikes is that the toes are usually a little tight. And could use a little more arch support. But to be fair I have wide ass duck feet
