That Gonzaga will back down from their over-the-top knee jerk response. He also won’t apologize for expressing his opinion.

Meh. I can’t stand Rogers. I was glad he lost last night.
I grew up pretending to be Stockton on the hoop behind my house. Admired his scrappiness and intensity.
I have no idea if his claims are true. I do miss the days when people could express their opinions without being vilified, though. This country has become a scary place.
If I came out and said that eating an apple a day gives you a 500% increase in chances of getting herpes, that's not an opinion.
What ever happened to just saying “I don’t agree with that” and letting it go?
I guess I was assuming from the post that he was only guilty of not supporting the narrative about vaccines. If he was doing something like refusing to wear a mask to Gonzaga games and continued to do so after being warned, I have no problem with him being told that he is not welcome until he agrees to mask up in the arena. I don't feel like I need to wear a mask when I go out, but I am also aware that it makes others feel safer, so I put one on. I don't like it, but I do it anyway.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 1:05 pmYou're from a generation that openly ridicules everything that doesn't fit with its notions of "normal."JKLivin wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 12:57 pmYup.

It's also a generation that has, until recently, one that touts the importance of respecting authority and "just complying."
Stockton broke a rule, several times, and after being warned several times. So he got tossed. You have to be a pretty damn whiny snowflake to bitch about that and think it's the unfair world out to get you.
I’m trying to figure out what the truth is. Facts lose their power when the population loses faith in the people disseminating them. I don’t trust Brandon or Fauci or Tedros, thus I feel iffy about what they say.

It’s not an attack or insult if it’s true.
The point being, unlike you and Cascadia, among others, I don't try to pick fights with people. Name-calling and telling people to f-off would be beneath someone of your intelligence, education, and pedigree I would think.
There’s no more figuring out to do on this, though. Not on the major points anyway.JKLivin wrote: ↑Sun Jan 23, 2022 3:30 pmI’m trying to figure out what the truth is.

The difference is, I may refer to Brandon and Cankles, but were I to meet them or carry on correspondence with them, I would be polite and respectful, even if I didn't like them or agree with their point of view. If you want to stoop to that level, be my guest.

Good to know.
