You think they were protesting because they wanted to get richer? Their income stream has nothing to do with the effectiveness of their actions. That is a bare-faced lie. You were the first person to use label of victim on this topic, and you have previously been explicit in stating that you believe that victimhood is a racial issue. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

So why do you see it in NFL players using their position to raise awareness for a cause? Oh wait - it's because they're black and you're white. Because black people play the victim while white people take responsibility failures. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

That comes with the assumption that the already bankrupt (if PR was allowed to go bankrupt to relieve it's crippling debt obligations) and now storm battered infrastructure of the island is sufficient to distribute emergency supplies as needed without further assistance. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

"The first thought I had was, once homosexual marriage was forced upon us we lost Biblical focus and everything became confusing." Sure sounds like you're a forced victim there. We are greatly saddened and angered that those who came after us, who have a better life than we had just want to spit on and disgrace our flag and our nation. And I'm pretty sure that means you're a victim who can't compete in the arena of ideas. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yes, you've told us over and over again how you were a victim of a society that contained progressive liberals before you moved to one that didn't have any. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Because you constantly find ways to complain about how other people choose to live their lives even when it has no impact on you whatsoever except for the fact that you choose to be offended. Gay people getting married was the start of your whole society going downhill. The way NFL players behave while a song plays is a big deal. These things have nothing to do with you but you choose to be affected by them. You're a career victim searching for an oppressor. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

What does anyone expect to happen as long as Puerto Rico has no representation? As far as the government is concerned PR might as well be a foreign country, and will get treated in a similar fashion. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Wow. I met Big Gay Don a few times around the euro wingsuit base scene before he went in jumping a sketchy new exit a couple of seasons ago. Didn't know he had that going on. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

If that military unit is from a foreign country and killed hundreds of thousands of US soldiers. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Do you know anyone in that band you just posted a video of? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

What do you mean by first hand information? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-trump-mnuchin-price-20170926-story.html I'm sure I remember certain people used to get angry when they thought stuff like this was happening? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
Oh absolutely. Then you can stop being victimized by those players not reacting to the anthem in exactly the way you want them to.
-
Yup. Do you mean people like THIS? Is that a good example of those who "spit on and disgrace our flag and our nation"? Yup! (You get that I was just highlighting Ron's own victim mentality, right?) Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You never noticed that anyone hated Bush 2? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

The funny thing is that Joseph Heller nailed the absurdity of the whole thing over 50 years ago with the Glorious Loyalty Oath Crusade in Catch-22 yet people still don't understand the difference between ritual and real patriotism. By taking a knee or or whatever else those players are demonstrating a much greater engagement with society and desire to help with what they see as a national issue than you could ever infer from simply standing for the anthem. A display of national pride that you do because you have to do it is hollow and empty. At least you know that the person who goes against the grain is for real. (On that note, at least one of those owners linking arms on the field who doesn't already have a couple of top drawer QBs needs to offer Kaepernick a contract, otherwise their gesture's are imilarly hollow ) Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yup. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Hmm, I wonder if their antiquated infrastructure and massive debt could have anything to do with them all being disenfranchised citizens without representation in the House, the Senate and the Presidency and with no power to trade when it comes to appropriations? Nah, must be a coincidence. Do you want to have an ideagasm?
-
Hmm. The message 'the NFL' is trying to promote is that there is still a evel of institutinal racism in society that needs to be acknowledged and tackled. The message the angry people are promoting is that a piece of coloured cloth is the most important thing in the world. Interesting which of those you view as adolescent.

Trump: Today if you hit too hard—15 yards! Throw him out of the game! They had that last week. I watched for a couple of minutes. Two guys, just really, beautiful tackle. Boom, 15 yards! The referee gets on television—his wife is sitting at home, she’s so proud of him. They’re ruining the game! They’re ruining the game. That’s what they want to do. They want to hit. They want to hit! It is hurting the game." Trump Jr: If only Roger Goodell cared as much about domestic abuse and traumatic brain injury as he does about disrespecting America. Alrighty then... Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Yeah. Hitting a woman is actually bad. Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Good thing the employers are supporting the players then. And doesn't that just put everything into context? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

You were the first person to mention threats. In fact if you recall (which I'm sure you do, you're just being difficult) I argued that Trump could theoretically be evil and not pose a threat to the country. Remember that? It was yesterday. Really not very long ago. So, since you brought the concept of real vs perceived threats as they relate to Trump into this thread, I really thought you might have some idea about what those real vs perceived threats might be. Do you not? I'm not saying Trump is evil. Yeah, I know. That's why I didn't so much as imply that's what you said. Yeah, I know. That's why I'm asking you for some examples of the real threats and the percieved threats. What is an example of the specific perceived threats that result from Trump being evil? What is an example of a real threat of the same scale and seriousness as that perceived threat? Do you want to have an ideagasm?

That's simply a question of opportunity. The US is not a war torn failed state, nor is it a totalitarian dictatorship. The President's power has limits. Trump can't behead people, he can't execute family members, he can't use capital punishment against aides who displease him (good thing too, they'd be piled to the ceiling in the West Wing corridors!). Trump has said he is willing and ready to "totally destroy" North Korea. What percentage of their population would be killed if Trump launched an all out strike against them? Wouldn't that slaughter of innocents be evil? If the possibiity of NK launching a nuke against the US is evil, isn't the possibility of the US launching nukes against them evil? Do you want to have an ideagasm?
