Duke wins . Kon, Proctor, foster, Gillis, Sion, Harris and Evans all hit a three.
The majority Muslim areas ( Gaza and Judea, I mean the West Bank I’ll play along) have been governed by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority respectively for almost 20 years. Thousands of Gazans are allowed into Israel to work each day despite almost daily terror attacks Most are thwarted before they actually kill Jews. The fact that the msm doesn’t report each event doesn’t mean it’s not happening.Simplifying it is the problem. That's like saying if a group who believes they are oppressed accepts what they perceive as oppression, no more conflict, and that's acceptable. It's only acceptable to the people on the other side, who are then not inconvenienced. It's just like the parent who tells a kid to stop crying or they'll give them something to cry about: It doesn't actually address or even attempt to address why the kid is crying; it just wants to shut them up for the parent's convenience. In neither case as presented here -- the perceived oppression nor the kid crying -- am I judging who is right or wrong.
One of the primary reason rebellions, revolutions, riots, insurrections, and other political or social violence occurs in the first place is because one group feels like doing nothing is a guarantee of their own demise, and doing anything is better than nothing. So your "no more war" scenario would mean Palestinians accept conditions they already feel are destroying them. Same with the January 6th incident: many of the people involved felt that accepting the result of the 2020 Presidential election would be destroying something they held dear about their country. In neither case as presented here -- Palestinians nor January 6th participants -- am I judging who is right or wrong.
I reject any narrative that sees one side as inherently, 100% good or evil, same with American politics.
Oh so now you know what it feels like to be a “Palestinian”. You know nothing about this conflict other than your own preconceptions about the “oppressed”.Simplifying it is the problem.

not a quad?
We are back. Flagg triple double incoming against his home state.
Okay, that is seriously hilarious. Well played.
I left the rest out because we've gotten into the weeds over all of that before. It's well established that I disagree that the left is less tolerant of opposing views. I have acknowledged that element does indeed exist on the left, as well.I was going to let your dismissal of everything else I said go. But I don't think you've earned it. Do you dispute that it is the left that is less tolerant of opposing views?

If Israel puts down its weapons no more Israel.
If Iran and its proxies put down its weapons no more war.
I was going to let your dismissal of everything else I said go. But I don't think you've earned it. Do you dispute that it is the left that is less tolerant of opposing views?No, it’s not an opinion of why you should do anything. I’m just curious whether you would acknowledge a single point.
You’re nothing but a hack for not having the decency to admit how dirty our leaders and the media are for parading Biden around since 2020, and now for having someone dumber than him to possibly be our next president.That's your cult-like approval of President Trump deluding you if you think he would ever ever ever have any chance whatsoever at getting even one of California, NY, Vermont, NJ, Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois, Minnesota, or Delaware.
It's ironic that you used that exact sentence to misrepresent what I said.
Agree king. It was a real ballgame. Duke showed remarkable resilience after the heartbreaker to SMU.I think Miami is definitely best team in the ACC and Duke played them well for 3 quarters. Hope we finish strong
JCD it got even better from there of course, downright promising. It's like the true Miami superior talent and depth took over after we went up 28-17. The 'Canes appeared to flip a switch.Very good answer!! 14-14.
GO DUKE!!
OFC
Let me simplify it for you then.I should have called it hyperbole, I suppose, rather than an exaggeration. I’m owning only that because I do not trust my words to be accepted within a limited context otherwise. It’s like answering a yes or no question while qualifying your answer as tentative so as to avoid whatever gotcha might be waiting around the corner.
I know the Middle East is far more complicated than obviously partisan people will acknowledge.
Ironically, that leaves exactly 48 states.That's your cult-like approval of President Trump deluding you if you think he would ever ever ever have any chance whatsoever at getting even one of California, NY, Vermont, NJ, Maryland, Massachusetts, Illinois, Minnesota, or Delaware.

If they were honest, he’d win at least 48 states Tuesday.
