    Who will win the Superbowl in 2020

    No, but your spelling could use some work.

    Who will win the Superbowl in 2020

    Is this a trick question? The Chiefs already won the superbowl that was played in 2020.

    If he is, he never replied to my PM.

    Tell Me About Game Bags

    I understand. That's the way I went the first few elk trips, but as I said, I won't go back. If they work for you, then great.

    Tell Me About Game Bags

    I used to use pillow cases until I discovered the Allen synthetic bags. The Allen bags are lighter, stronger, breathe better, have strong drawstrings and are very inexpensive. I'll never go back to pillow cases.

    Tell Me About Game Bags

    While still fairly inexpensive, I've had good luck using the Allen synthetic gamebags the past few years. Your hunt sounds like my last successful deer hunt - a whitetail hunt where I hiked in about 2.5 mi. to a NF wilderness area. Shot my buck, quartered him and fit all the quarters in a...

    3855Win, do you think things like this didn't happen before social media and cell phone video?

    I don't think many whites either do feel responsible, or want to feel responsible, and I'm not saying they should. Many of us whites are not directly responsible, but we have benefited indirectly from the policies that Vikingguy mentioned. Recognizing the discriminatory practices/policies...

    A lot of whites don't want to recognize these things because they can't deal with the sense of responsibility that comes with it. And that's giving them the benefit of the doubt. Some recognize these things and still don't care, or worse, feel they are completely justified.

    I grew up in a single parent household as well. I watched my parents divorce not once, but twice. We moved 37 times before I left home for college. Domestic violence make up some of my earliest memories. I'm sure like your mom, mine was amazing. However, she was better off without my dad...

    You actually think people have been "trying" to do that? Do you think people want to be gay? Do you think single mothers want to be single mothers? Do you think Mixed race families sought that out? This is the disconnect many people have. It's the difference between wanting a circumstance...

    I'm sure there are some cases of that. This is where actual data and statistics come in handy. It's always dangerous to draw conclusions using too few data points.

    It is, and the idea that you are required to support a traditional nuclear family structure to be American is absurd. I was raised by a single mother and in fact, many of the streets we lived on was "the village" where ALL the parents looked out for ALL the kids on the street. Most...

    I think I may have seen some clever marketing on TV these past two weeks. LOL That is, before I just turned it off and went outside.

    We certainly do have different experiences that shape our perceptions. I can understand how you might not hear anyone say people are not equal, but I need to learn from you how to know what people think. That's quite a trick! ;) Systemic racism is subtle and it's not an on/off thing. I've...

    Fair call. I appreciate that reply. I was thinking mainly of Europe, but I can see your point about many other places in the world. We pride ourselves on being the example to the world, right? Then let's be that beacon on the hill.

    Okay, this is a good example of what I'm talking about. To get to the cause, and not just talk about a symptom, we need to be asking WHY the data show 50% of the crime is committed by 13% of the population. It's not enough to just stop right there and assign blame. That's not what we do with...

    Who are these people? I have not seen them here or elsewhere. I've seen the rioters and anarchists be universally condemned across the board. Even the mother of the latest victim spoke out against the rioting within hours of losing her son. That took strength. What burns me is that people...

    Let me ask you something. I don't know if you have kids or not, but if you do... think for a moment how you would react if a police officer shot your son or daughter 7 times in the back. Would you remain calm? Would you speak softly? What if it was the child of your best friend from High...

    get-n-birdy, Lots of truth there. I'm not ready to give up yet though. I think what we're seeing are the death-throes of generational racism in this country. We're seeing retaliation against the idea that people of color are in fact equal to whites. We as a nation are realizing that we are...
