Yeah, couldn't really figure out what I was looking at

any vids?

Not rich enough

Thread backfire

So do you have to be competing in like a league to do the point events or can anyone just go and race on those dates?

The Happening

I'll probably watch it. End of the world stuff intrigues me even if it's a bit radical.

That's fucking sweet :fuckyeah:

:thumbup:

Kerry, so alcohol was made legal for government profit? Could they not justify the same for marijuana currently or is the federal government keeping it illegal because they have their best interest in me? You can't say they don't need the tax revenue if that's the argument

Greg...

I took your comment about team sports ruining politics in a literal sense. I agree with your above post and the points made. You ask this question like there is a quick easy answer. Federal government if you're asking me. You want me to break down the nearly $4,000,000,000,000 federal budget? I'll ask an easy one for ya. Why is marijuana federally illegal? Why is alcohol federally legal? What's the difference between the two (I'll leave it broad since we're asking broad, vague questions here)? That's just one example.

A pullied Z06 would have made it a better, more fair race I think. I do love the gt350s high revving sound though. Ford has done a good job with the newer Mustangs.

This is like me saying, prove to me that team sports are ruining politics. You haven't stated any facts, only opinions.

Government has it's place. I just don't think it needs to be as large as it is and control people's lives as much as it does. A Government big enough to give you everything you want is a Government big enough to take everything you have away. I'm not trying to solely link participation trophies to entitlement, I'm just saying it's one of the causes in my opinion. I did not bring up sports, I just gave my belief on the comment "Sports are ruining politics." You don't have to agree with me, and I don't know how exactly to prove my belief to you as it's an opinion? I don't think they have data out there that can directly link participation trophies to entitlement because there are a lot more variables that come into play, but I think it's definitely one of them.

I have friends and family friends who have kids growing up and they have mentioned receiving trophy's for coming near last place. I don't know how to prove this. I am not going to go to their house and take pictures just to prove that it happens :dumb:

Who can't protect themselves? I believe everyone is entitled to live their life by their means. I can't control the decisions they make or where they come from. Everyone is given a dealt a different hand and I don't believe issuing the same hand is even remotely realistic.

Let me say this, I have no problem discussing politics with anyone. The biggest issue I see in today's society in regards to politics is that everything is either 100% or 0%. There is no compromise anymore. The left seems to want it 100% this way and the right wants it 100% the other way. The sooner we can begin to try to find a middle ground on most issues, the sooner we can end the great divide that seems to be getting larger. As for the sports are killing politics, I actually agree with you. Our society has moved from winners and losers to only winners in childhood sports. I don't agree with that at all. Sports can be a great lesson for kids growing up and a great way for kids to stand out and become leaders and begin to understand how some aspects of life works. The problem is, there are groups of people that truly believe everyone is a winner and everyone should get a trophy, even the kid/team that comes in last place. That's complete bullshit. You're raising a generation of kids that believe it's okay to suck and lose. No, you get fucking better and you win. This country didn't become great because we gave everyone a pat on the back for effort. Life won't give you a pat on the back for effort when you fuck up or you're just not good enough. If I have a son or daughter someday and they play sports and get a trophy for losing, I will take it away and tell them to earn it. For the record: Most of the things I post on here are trolling because, well it's a message board and it's entertaining.

You can generalize all you want, but that doesn't change my personal opinion. The libertarians I have met are not nearly as extreme as the liberals I have met. My personal interactions with liberals/far left democrats have been mostly negative. They are some of the most judgmental, hateful and smug people I have interacted with. I know I have generalized a lot but I don't believe all liberals are bad people. Bernie Sanders is probably a very nice old man and I do believe he has good intentions and a good heart. I apologize for generalizing if my opinion effects you that much, but I base my opinions on real life interactions and that is how I feel about the majority of liberals I have met and discussed politics with.

Sorry, forgot that you made the rules.

I know this is a couple days old, but... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/03/05/pro-trump-rally-in-berkeley-turns-violent-as-protesters-clash-with-the-presidents-supporters/?utm_term=.a2a3675d810a Liberals are so peaceful.

Yeah I only stood in line because my buddy really wanted to meet him. The only guy I'd consider waiting an hour to meet is Arnold

Just left there. Pretty busy but not as bad as last year since the expansion of the convention center. Got a pic with Rich Piana. Spent most of the time just trying to squeeze between people to walk anywhere

I think you're more libertarian than you think

Well which way do you want change? Clearly not further right based on your previous comment so one could only assume you like it the way it is or prefer more left?
