You like to put words in people's mouths. I didn't say droves, and I didn't say taking over our country. But if you are telling me that what's happening in places like oakland, portland, seattle isn't people displaying their hate for our values as a country, you are lost. Peaceful protest is one thing and rightfully protected. As controversial as flag burning is, have at it, it's protected speech. We can have dialogue and it can be heated. Unfortunately what's happened is the hijacking of a worthy cause by a group of people that truly cannot relate to America as a whole.

If we are laying our cards on the table and attempting to be intellectually honest. Tell me your thoughts on Jacob Blake.
In 2020 anyone can pull data/new articles/social media posts etc.... on any subject to support their already formed opinion. Hell I can google "flat earth" and probably come up with 5 individual sources stating the earth is flat.
Seriously, look at my response to Happy where I mentioned 2 mistakes.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion and to your interpretation of the discussion.
When politicians/media weigh in on social media before everything is on the table, things get muddled. Just ask the washington post. They are a bit lighter in wallet these days- not that it matters since they can afford it. As far as poll is concerned, it would likely be 50 50, representative of the current temperature and division in this country. Critical thinkers will wait to see what the evidence spells out.
Check out response times for portland PD and Seattle PD over the last 30 days, not very good and they've been working their ass off.
mistakes where?

A question to be asked is this.
Prior to covid was there any widespread testing for myocarditis? Was there any testing done after colds/flu's, etc.? It is something regularly tested for on the collegiate/pro level?
The reason I ask is because if we only started looking now, we don't really know too much about what was going on before.
Listen Dre, my dd is just about out of time to play soccer. She only has to play 35-40 minute halfs. If other assholes would let go of soccer, she could play all the time. Anyway, I hope everyone can get what they want from this sport. My God, this is insane!!! At least she surfs, hikes, track, volleyball and now cliff jumping. However, she wants to play soccer at the highest of highs because that is her sport of choice. Just watch bro.....

Soccer is not banned - organized soccer is. A lot of us are still playing soccer. Time to get creative.
Okay i looked and I agree with the first point / mistake you mentioned. We differ when you mention the cops should have been able to contain him. The media has dehumanized cops and we are at the point where citizens are demanding cops are part Bruce Willis, Mother Teresa. They tried to taze him, he didnt stop. They were only there because of a 911 call, they were asked to come help.
Another question, if that was your daughter or son that made the call. How would you feel? According to the police report he "used his finger to sexually assault her, sniffed it and said, “Smells like you’ve been with other men,”
Yes it is, by the State and the state has Cal South as their police force. Like I said, I didnt follow the rules when i was a young cowboy teen looking to be a warrior outside. I broke all the rules. After waking up in puke a few times and then having to pump gas all day when kid is 18,, one wakes up and ask himself the questions, "is this worth it?" I teach my kids to obey the rules, even the one's you dont like or agree with. I'll let all of you be creative and help where I can. My dd loves this game and was told by the great Tad, "Your dd was born to play soccer." I just love that

Agreed. Lack of context is one of my biggest complaints about much of the data we get regarding COVID. Although, I would think they would at least be able to compare the rates of myocarditis of the athletes who tested positive vs. those who tested negative. I guess the assumption is that those who didn't test positive won't have myocarditis. It would have been nice to see that data.
I re-read, sometimes reading comprehension is lacking. I thought you were pointing out my mistakes.
Media dehumanizing cops is irrelevant for now. Citizens demanding they be Bruce or Mother Teresa, not me.
So are you saying this situation could only have been handled the way it was handled, i.e. a shooting? Were there any mistakes by the police in your opinion?
Don't know anything about this and it is irrelevant to what we are discussing.
1.5 million cases of Myocarditis per year. Chest pain, shortness of breath, Fatigue and fluid retention resulting in swelling of legs and feet. Regardless of Covid keep an eye on your athletes.

I think you do get the benefit of the doubt in these discussions because you post with your real identity and your DD turned out wonderfully. If someone else stated a similar position as yours, he or she would be getting numerous "stay in your basement" remarks already.
Going off topic a bit since you brought up robotics and Kicker and KM2 were discussing job loss earlier. If anyone's kid has shown interest in math and engineering, definitely encourage them to pursue it. Every retail job loss is not a 1-to-1 replacement at Amazon. A percentage of each job loss is lost to automation forever. I would especially encourage more girls to get into engineering as we have a shortage of talented female engineers since forever.
Below is a very interesting video on what an Amazon warehouse looks like. It's so empty in some areas that I'm surprised they don't turn the lights down to save more electricity.
I just don't think that it is the end of the world and that we can make it through this. Most of us didn't get to play club soccer growing up and we turned out okay. We are only talking about a 12-18 month hiatus. That to me isn't the end of the world. And I agree that we need more female engineers, pilots, soldiers, governors, doctors and more. The countries with female leaders are doing better, on average, right now.
Continued good fortune to you and your player.
no further discussion from me. im a facts, not feelings guy.
I do suggest researching information on your own. its amazing what you can find out
I agree with the "critical thinkers" and I would not be afraid to admit I'm wrong if I'm wrong. Never said anything about Portland and Seattle PD not working their asses off.

It's totally relevant. He was violating the woman he already victimized. He resisted arrest, fought with cops and refused to comply even AFTER they shot him with a taser. Too bad Bindy Irwin wasn't available with the blow dart gun. Dubmass.
By the way, I realized you've already gone to my post and seen the evidence you're 100% wrong about Kenosha. Case closed.
its 2020. people only use facts if and when its convenient to support whatever twitter and instagram tell them to support. Jussie Smollet anyone?????
