It seems that either nobody, or at least very few people, disagrees with the notion that the rule itself is stupid. However, that doesn't mean that breaking the rule cannot also be stupid. "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen..let us give them all they want." William T. Sherman |

It's a dumb rule I want to see the best athletes in the world compete against one another and see who is the best regardless if somebody had a toke or drink Jamaica has some of the fastest runners in the world. They also smoke a lot of pot. I want to see their runners in the Olympics regardless of tokes Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5119 | You don't need to tell us I assume anyone who's for Reparations, who doesn't stand to benefit, has massive white guilt syndrome . And thinks that the way to pay for it is not more taxes for them, but to just add to the US Deficit... oh, wait, we can make guys like Bezos pay for it, I forgot!

I would actually be impressed if a white person who says "I'M FOR IT!" would deed their house to a random black family and give a random black person their car then start over. Otherwise they are just yapping. The President is a fink. |

You don’t need an ounce of guilt to agree with a principle of compensation as justice whether it’s here or a distant country where you don’t know anyone. War reparations were paid by Germans into the next generation, who had nothing to do with it. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Uh, no. War reparations were structured over a number of years. Just because someone was born after the war has nothing to do with it. Reparations to blacks are pointless because first the government did not hold the slaves, individuals did. Second, we are talking 150+ years, not 20 years of structured war reparations. The President is a fink. |

Most opponents do argue the all or nothing settlement as if that’s the only possibility for any such idea of reparations. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
