hammsammich Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 On Sunday I watched my 11 year old son's football game. Everyone stood for the anthem. No politics. It was a great game to watch even though they lost. Both teams had fun. No admission fee. Mutual respect shown towards everyone. That's real football.

ginger Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 ^I didn't realize memory was a measure of IQ. It's my understanding one's creative quotient is more reflective of brilliance. I don't think that I'm creative, but my mother is. I just looked it up on google...It appears an ability to detect small changes is reflective of a high IQ...if so, I spent the first 19 years of my life with my face in a microscope and if that is the case, that means my brother is way higher on the scale than I am. He's one of those people who can watch a movie and immediately notice if something like a prop is out of place. I can't do that unless the sound is off although I can say my brain turns my hearing off when I'm particularly focused on something. I can also say I read in my sleep. My brain gets bored and shows me pages of books I've read. Sometimes they are relevant to me at the time and sometimes I'm left wondering why my brain thought I should reread something. It's always textbook material, never fiction. BTW I have 2 early memories that occurred when I was around 2. My mother had a large pram that had a plastic cover you could snap on in the rain. I remember waking up next to my infant brother. It was raining and I sat up a little bit, looked at my brother and saw my mother's coat, herringbone. It was raining so I went back to sleep. The other memory, my Uncle Ray came to stay with us for a while when he got out of the service. I remember my mother carrying me up the stairs to our apartment with a brown paper grocery bag in her opposite hand. My uncle opened the door and I remember reaching to him when he put his hands out to carry me in. For some reason I think he was surprised. post edit-upon further reflection...my uncle was going to take the grocery bag but I reached out and wrapped my arms around his neck. He was reaching for the grocery bag but looking at me. lol-I was just thinking...how did my uncle know we would be at the door if both of my mother's hands were full? It was a five story walk up. We were on the second floor. You had to ring the buzzer to be let in. When were kids, someone would always stick a piece of chewing gum in the door so we could get in without ringing the dreaded buzzer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacks were in slavery less that 150 years ago? They didn't start this mess? The logical rebuttal might be that police violence is isolated and rare? What if your kid was killed by a stranger? Might you join a cause to stop this horror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19April1775 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 64 percent of Americans agree with Trump about NFL — study Most Americans stand with President Donald Trump and his criticism of the NFL for allowing protests, a study reveals. Some 64 percent of Americans believe NFL players should stand and be respectful during the playing of the national anthem, according to a survey of 1,633 respondents conducted by Remington Research Group on Sept. 25. A little more than half (51 percent) said they are watching less football this season than in years past. Of those, 69 percent cited players using the field as a political stage for their lack of interest. While almost two-thirds of the respondents said players should stand and be respectful during the anthem, 24 percent said they did not have to. Twelve percent were unsure. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/trump-nfl-poll-anthem-respect-study/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Property & Casualty Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I can't wait to see what happens when the anthem is played at the 2020 DNC. The dems candidate will have to admit he hates the country, or else he'll be rayciss, while at the same time claiming he wants to be POTUS. Even Bill Clinton couldn't blow that much smoke.

Hey, look, it's okay to fly the Confederate flag, cause yunno that's cultural heritage and free speech, I mean it's literally celebrating a flag that flew over a failed rebellion, but free speech! You special snowflakes need to accept that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormerSomeone Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 And where do you suppose the slave traders went to trade some beads and iron pots for fresh slaves? People in Africa sold other people in Africa. The ships were just the transport. Not the supply point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People in Africa sold other people in Africa. The ships were just the transport. Not the supply point. There are currently more blacks enslaved in nations on the African continent than were ever enslaved in the USA. Blacks enslave other blacks over there. Blacks enslaved other blacks over here, when it was legal to do so. Blacks in the slums are still enslaved by the Democrats today. Instead of picking cotton they now cast votes. It's just another divisive tactic by the left, to divert attention away from the real issues of the day. Diversity is not our strength, as the left claims. Unity is. Multiculturalism is another divisive push, again from the left. See a pattern here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
