    Buckeyes Riot Burn Destroy Property, Not A Thug In Sight

    I don't think there is any question that anyone anywhere wouldn't consider looting and burning businesses to be acts of protest. No one questioned that. But you implied that all of them, each and every person out there was of the same mindset, painting with as broad a brush as possible, and only...

    Simply piling on additional unsubstantiated, and false, allegations, and ignorant opinions does not in any way prove that anything I said is a distortion or incorrect. It should be very easy for you to lay it all out where I distorted facts or gave incorrect information. And it should be easy to...

    Coming from you that means exactly nothing. You are the "Hidden Illiterate" where your illiteracy is hidden from even you. You don't know, and you don't know that you don't know, but you think you do. That's a scary thing. If I have distorted anything in this thread, which you have alleged, or...

    Like I said, there's really nothing else you need to post here to convince me. It's most often the racists who level the charge of race-baiter, because they, like you, don't understand what is and is not race-baiting. A race-baiter is one who insinuates that racism is a dominant factor with...

    Exactly. That's a symptom of the hypocritical bias. Pilgrim did it, too. To wit: "IMHO there's a big difference between a group of people whose intent is to loot, burn and destroy their own community and other people's businesses as opposed to those who have been partying all day and night and...

    Stop. Just stop already. We've already been through this. You don't know what you're doing. You've got your own definitions for words, and you don't understand what you read. It's clear you haven't understood even half of what I've written in this thread. Everything you're posted about this has...

    Today I had my two-week followup since replacing the cast with the removable cast/splint. It's healing, but at a glacial pace. Slower than the doctor would like, but not altogether unexpected. Age, smoking, the amount of ligament and tendon damage, all play a part. I was told no ibuprofen...

    Yes, I know. Thank you very much, though. This isn't a contest to go out and cherry pick stories that make the case you're trying to make. Especially since that particular story helps make my point. The simple fact is the press (and you, apparently) give whites a pass when they riot but not...

    Again, this is not about police overreaction as they are wont to do, it's about the disparity of the tenor and tone of the language and phrasing used in the reporting of the press when blacks riot versus when whites do it. It's an observational fact that is indefensible. Rioting is rioting, no...

    It's like trying to describe the difference between a Category 1 and a Category 5 hurricane, trying to imply a Category 1 hurricane isn't a hurricane because it's not as bad as it could be.

    There's an infinite number of Blogs that people can link to to bolster their own opinion, but I'm most concerned with how the press actually reported the news. Identical happenings are reported differently, depending on whether the participants are black or white. Those who think white people...

    Eclipse is her name, and she routinely gets on the bus, alone, rides it to her stop at the dog park, then gets off the bus, alone. http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Seattle-dogs-rush-hour-ride-on-the-bus-by-herself-weekly-288345081.html?tab=video&c=y "She's been urbanized, totally. She's...

    Didn't really expect a thread about America's hypocrisy on riot reporting to so quickly evolve into being about rioting after sporting events, but OK. So, in the case of Leo's suggestion above, I can totally imagine a scenario where an army of Blue and Gold Wolverines covertly switch uniforms...

    Celebrating a win versus complaining about an injustice. And yet, extreme jubilation and extreme frustration both yield the same results. As for what they'd have done if they lost, same as the Ducks fans did - nothing. In America we don't riot after a loss. They do that in other countries...

    Riotous thugs pour into the streets of Columbus after the Ohio State Buckeyes won the first ever National Championship tournament in college football. Wait? What? Those were not thugs! They were a crowds of revelers! That is how the mobs of mostly white college students, residents and...

    Not from me. I've never used it. Or the Tiger. I went through every Motorola and Jawbone and a few others of that :stick it in the ear" type, and every one of them it was they could hear me but I couldn't hear them, or I could hear them and they couldn't understand me. I finally found the Blue...

    An Ohio State National Champions Shirt Is Already Available On Amazon. Or rather was. Sometime overnight Sunday it went to "unavailable," probably because Ducks fans were whining like little girls that the t-shirt being for sale before the game was in poor taste, disrespectful and arrogant, and...
