I've also not gone all-in with Palestine. In fact, I've expressed embarrassment about how many on my side of the fence have gone so over-the-top for Palestine. From the beginning, I've said it's complicated. Just that. That was all it took for people here to attack me because anything more complicated than a napkin dispenser is intellectually intimidating to y'all. All of that proceeded any request from me that y'all demonstrate the slightest perspective by acknowledging where Israel has any responsibility for the conflict before expecting me to engage. Again, it's what I've asked for in response to your attacks and attempts to engage me on the topic entirely on your terms.
I want Israel to continue to exist as a sovereign nation. I want them to be a US ally. I also want them to be better than they are. That's not antisemitism. That's actually support.
Holding Israel to an impossible standard is antisemitism imho although there are other factors as well. I appreciate that you don’t want Israel destroyed and all Jews killed. I hope that’s not one of the concessions you’re so proud of yourself for making, that you don’t want a second Holocaust
This should be criminal. As horrific as familial rejection is, going into sex work is the answer? Exposure to violence increases exponentially. I thought they were worried about violence against the Trans community. Going into sex work increases the risk greatly I would suspect
He’s lucky he’s not in jail for his medical malpractice during Covid, not to mention his labeling the Lab Leak origin theory as a conspiracy theory. Even a broken clock is right more often than this overrated hack.
Why are Dems willing to embarrass themselves in order to defend this guy?
Masks are bad, then a month later you can be arrested for not wearing one.
Then later admits that the 6 ft distance was basically pulled out of his old, tired arse and had no scientific research behind it whatsoever

But you never explained how it’s complicated. That’s a phrase normally used to shut down conversation because you don’t wish to reveal your relative ignorance about a topic or to indicate you don’t wish to discuss it further.
Eg. How’s Advanced Calculus going? It’s complicated an example of the former
And How’s it going with the wife these days? it’s complicated, an example of the latter
I think it will be close for a while and then we win by 15. Will be interesting to see Blakes and Proctor and Sion to see who plays better. They have a decent big man. They need this win for their tournament resume but I doubt the Cardinal win today. Has a league ever had two teams with the same mascot? We have 2 Cardinals.
True. And we seldom even mention the daily rocket attacks from Hezbollah to the north causing the entire northern half of the country to live in panic EVERY SINGLE DAY and these arm chair military experts want to pick apart Israel’s every move? Bewildering
I point at Elon Musk, a billionaire with no government experience who bought his way into a vaguely defined position exerting control and chaos and conflict of interest... and you come back with the man who was the director of NIAID for nearly 40 years and one of the world's most esteemed and cited scientists during that time.
They're not the same. That wasn't even a good try.

based off the eye test and kenpom metrics Houston is the strongest 2 seed so they go to the weakest 1 seed (Florida). Also, ioliva the committee also tries to avoid having teams be paired up in the same region when they have already faced each other twice in the regular season which Florida and Tennessee have already played twice and have the potential to play a 3rd time in the SEC Tournament.
Below is the committee's bracket from the reveal show. Duke's region is the Defensive Region
South (Atlanta):
1 - #1 Auburn
2 - #6 Texam A & M
3 - #11 Wisconsin
4 - #13 Texas Tech
Thanks for starting this thread, Conor. I can start paying attention now.
Not the opening I hoped for, but, as they say, it's a long season.
If you get a chance, please post a picture or two of the new field.
OFC

What you fail to grasp is that Israel’s destruction and the killing of all Jews wherever they are is in Hamas’ charter. It’s their reason for existence.
Whatever Israel has attempted in the past has failed. Israel has had liberal PM’s before.
Land for peace? More terrorism.
A two state solution? More terrorism.
Of course Israel’s not perfect, but if she were the Pariah she’s made out to be she would have annexed Gaza and the “ West Bank” decades ago. Gaza was controlled by Egypt until 1967. Why wasn’t a Palestinian state established during this time if it’s so important to them? Why did Arafat turn it down?
Every time you point at asylum seekers and repeat the lie that they got money stolen from WNC, you are fanning the flames of xenophobia.
What naturalized citizens really hate is the bigotry that lumps them in with undocumented immigrants. It's the same when you consider asylum seekers the same as other undocumented immigrants.
You could get free phones, free housing, and free childcare just by faking a disability and getting welfare, to hear your side tell it. If you'd come to the US "in a heartbeat" for that, why aren't you doing it now through welfare?
Congrats on knowing several immigrants. Tell me about your Black friend next.
Just for the sake of saying. If you have one of these nose rings, nothing you say will carry any weight. Because you have already been rightfully removed from being taken seriously.
