One Really Violent Day

But they don't take criminals out of circulation. If they did, how do you explain Freddie Gray having over 30 arrests and George Floyd having 5 felonies?
How many chance should a person get before it's determined that they're not interested in following the rules like the rest of us?
Different argument, and one we'd probably agree on. That's what those 'three strikes' laws were designed for, and where they should be applied. But it's not going to be a life sentence for misdemeanors, even a bunch of them.

Imagine that! The physical violence against you wasn't as effective in correcting bad behavior as being held accountable with non-violent consequences.

You said it, and I agree.

And the same goes for law enforcement. Arrest with probable cause, convict with evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. If law enforcement has appropriate cause to use force? Use it then and only then. Save the police from all of that community resentment and take the criminals out of circulation.

Or we could try Trump's plan of "One really violent day" by the police. Donald Trump is an unqualified idiot.

Another lefty liberal myth: Spanking a child is physical violence.
No it's not. It's not assault and it's not beating. It's getting their attention quickly and effectively. The sting on the butt quickly wears off, but the memory of the process is what prevents the behavior from occurring again.

One Really Violent Day

You guys still don't get it......the threat of the trans person is not necessarily one of violence (although that's happened on occasion), the threat is to the right to privacy, the threat of not having to see a man's penis in the ladies locker room, the threat of knowing there's some weirdo guy dressed as a lady in there who might be getting his jollies hanging out in the ladies room. It's as much of the mental and psychological violation as it is of physical assault.
If a trans person is standing in the women's bathroom with their pecker hanging out? That's a public indecency violation.

Because THERE ARE NO URINALS IN THE WOMEN'S BATHROOM.

As for 'no exposed penises in the women's locker room and showers'? I am 100% in agreement with you.
Pray tell; where is that allowed?

One Really Violent Day

Not to mention, the much bigger threat for my daughter is from straight men, not a trans person. So in reality, bone would be the person she grabbed the mace for.

Pretty much. But once I was old enough and the spoon and belt no longer worked, I got grounded, which was worse.

RIP Dikembe Mutombo

One my favorite famous people. He used to live by my office here in Atlanta and I would run into him pretty frequently at the local dry cleaner when I was dropping stuff off. Would always stop and talk with me about kids and life and was an incredibly humble and funny guy. Always parked his Bentley on the curb, put on his drivers cap and told everybody his rich client was busy dropping off his laundry and he’d move the car in a minute.

RIP!
Great stories, pboiler.

But I'm left wondering, did he ever try to block your laundry out of your hand before you could load the washer?

One Really Violent Day

This is such a dumb take. Am I supposed to follow my daughter around everywhere? Follow her into the bathroom? Quit being so ignorant.
This.

I taught my kids to be able to analyze situations, think for themselves, and learn from mistakes. Not to think that daddy is going to protect them from the bad man dressed funny in the bathroom.

I'm more worried about the bad man with the orange hair that is has been accused of assaulting 26 women and found liable for sexual assault. You know, the one who is quoted as saying that when you're a star you can grab em by the pussy. Find me the trans people in the girls bathroom with that many assault allegations and I'll worry about them too.

I thought I would give some time to see if things improved before commenting. I'm sure some are licking their chops to give me hell because I supported giving Walters a chance. Well we have given him a chance and the product on the field looks terrible. I was shocked at the results of the ND game and overall have nothing good to say about what I have seen. Walters deserved to have us see what he could do. We went away from a tried and true formula when we did not bring in an experienced coach and staff. I understand why Bobinski moved as fast as he did with the cards he had been dealt. It was dumped in his lap as the calendar ran out and he thought he was getting a star in the making. Obviously trying to save the fall and spring portal timeframes and a poor recruiting class were not worth hiring an inexperienced head coach for a Big Ten team. Fire away.
I am just going to say Bobinski had plenty of time. We all knew Brohm was leaving.

You grew up to believe physical punishment is the best way to correct behavior, in children or adults. It dovetails with your admiration for men who appear tough and strong and believe threats and violence are the best way to solve problems. It's a pretty clear picture.

I respect strength and discipline. i believe in consequences for bad behavior, and those consequences have to be severe enough for someone to not experience them again.
Probably the reason why Freddie Gray got arrested over 30 times and George Floyd had 5 felonies.

One Really Violent Day

I got the wooden spoon and occasionally the belt when I was a kid and needed some sense knocked into me.
It must have worked since i didn't grow up a liberal.

Why is it in American's best interest to support Ukraine?
That simple question cuts to the bone. What is in America's best interest? Let's review NATO's bastard brother, SEATO.

In 1954, the United States, France, Great Britain, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Thailand and Pakistan formed the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, or SEATO. The purpose of the organization was to prevent communism from gaining ground in the region. Oh, and there were four little fellas who didn't participate in the international military alliance but were brought under SEATO's protection anyway. Those little fellas were North Vietnam, South Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos.

Now, I don't need to tell you that this didn't end well for the US. But there is an analogy with the US making a pledge of protection with non-NATO member Ukraine and the US making a pledge of protection with non-SEATO member South Vietnam. Is it in America's best interest to support Ukraine, or is it in America's best interest to have Britain, France, Germany et al pouring their guts into Ukraine?

One Really Violent Day

Apparently you grew up to be pretty angry and prone to accepting violence.
And I'm Catholic, how funny is that? I grew up in a household where mom n dad were judge, jury and executioner. That's their job. When you got out of line, there were consequences and those consequences taught lessons. Some lessons are learnt the hard way.

It's probably why my kids don't have purple hair, have a bunch of crap hanging out of their face and marching in pro-Hamas ralllies.

The Air Biscuit Offense

Tool-Hand Luke Fishkill today called our offensive coordinator situation “one of the bad things in our game,” moaning about the early-season firing of a colleague, but it’s only one of the many bad things in Purdue games.

The same team that set a record for Purdue’s all-time worst loss – 66-7 – just came within 6 yards of Purdue’s record for penalty yards in a game – 171 – while seeing its QB add his own mark on The Cradle with a three-game pick-six streak.

And while Purdue’s offense sits near the bottom of major college football, things are even worse elsewhere. Purdue is 15th of 18 in scoring and total offense but ranks dead last in the Big Ten in points allowed, total defense and rushing defense and dead last in penalty yards … dead last nationally, as well.

CBS Sports clearly details Purdue’s many offenses in its piece today … https://www.cbssports.com/college-f...t-from-hot-coaching-name-to-midseason-firing/

I’d said back in December 2022 that Bobo had dropped the ball, even before he hired his rookie with zero head-coaching experience. Now we’ve given that time, and just look at what we’ve got. No turnovers but thousands of turned stomachs.

Clean house, Trustees. The Big Ten’s founding father deserves much better.
Clean house right now? That could present some near-term operational challenges.
