Official game day thread- Duke vs Wake Forest II

My dad is a great guy but in his early 80's. Some of the things he says in very public places make me and my sister cringe. I don't remember him being like that in his 40's/50's/60's.
My dad doesnt say anything but sometimes he will stare at the waitress or at some other person while we eat. I am like "Dad!!! Eyes here."

:rolleyes: Oh, if only he would think of the children!
I'm all for keeping American military out of it. I don't begrudge Zelensky for asking, and when the very existence of his country is at stake, I don't begrudge him for continuing to fight back.
I would have agreed with you.. three years ago. The Russians continue to slowly advance westward in the Donbas, a Russian speaking region that Putin has been eyeing for decades.
If Zalinskyy wants to keep the rest of his country, he needs to be willing to negotiate a peace deal. Surrender the Donbas in exchange for an end to the war. That’s the best deal he’s gonna get right now It’s not right, or fair, or just but it’s reality

Pretty sure I am a bit older than some of you guys, but at 56, my parents are in their 80's and it's like they suddenly have zero filter whatsoever. Some of the racial, nationality and gender related comments make me cringe. I do feel blessed to have them still with us, but a dinner out is an adventure these days! :eek:

Oh, and Duke by 24.......not 25. :)

Movies, TV shows you are watching.

I watched the "We Own This City" mini-series on MAX about the corruption in the Baltimore City police. It's a great series from guys who made "The Wire." And then finally got to see "The Brutalist." It has fantastic acting and some of the year's best cinematography, and it is definitely not an easy watch.
That is such a great show but sheds light on the corruption. The sad thing is is that it goes on in almost every dept. but in Baltimore it was bad!

I was glad to see Harris get a shot. I feel like Jon has been very patient and fair with Foster, but I'd like to see Harris get some development , especially in case Proctor has a setback or we get another backcourt injury or illness. Foster does not seem comfortable in recent game situations unless it is near the end of the game and there is no pressure. He should still play a few minutes; but his minutes are clearly trending down.
Unfortunately, Harris is a brick waiting to happen -- 28.6% on long 2s, 22.2% on 3s and 50% on FTs. 🧱

No. I said that I was against the draft, mainly because of Vietnam. I wasn't saying that was the first time.

Nato and European countries. That who should be the leaders. We shouldn't be anything other than the guy who has their backs when they absolutely need us.
fair...with our location on the map, we should just sit back from basically all the conflict in the world....then if ever the need what if the world viewed our issues that way when we needed help, though a scenario is tough to imagine

You should have heard my uncles talking in the 70s. People's heads would explode.
Oh, mine were terrible growing up. Now, those guys legitimately would say some disgusting junk. I had one that would talk crap to waitresses, and we were always apologizing for his antics.

10-4, i took your comment as saying the draft was due to the vietnam war...understood..........yeah kidnapping and making you fight is harsh, the draft is harsh as well, but def not as harsh and there are some loopholes and wiggle room

good take, how does ukraine joining NATO threaten Russia?
Agree or disagree. I don't think Russia has any right to tell another country who to align with. But if you have an alliance that was formed as a deterrent to combat you and you have a mutual agreement to keep that alliance off of your borders, how are you supposed to take it when they continue to push towards your borders? What would be your red line in their shoes? NATO isn't a trade partnership. They're not about building economies and creating wealth. They're about building military presence. Russia has been warning NATO for 30 years not to push east and they keep doing it. Now I am not saying they don't have a right to push east. But what did the expect to happen?
