    I guess it makes sense to not read the forums for 24 hours after a loss....and I guess with this response I am going to complain myself.  And I understand that the reason message boards exist is for people to say what they want...give their opinions...weather I or anyone else agree with it.  I get that. Its just that some people seem to get so bent out of shape, i really don't understand the "They lost one game-the team is terrible-the coach should have been fired years ago-this team will never win again unless they do what I say-you better not challenge my opinion or I will respond to you with all the more hate and self righteousness than anyone has ever seen " type of attitude. I just don't get it.

    it is tradition. I recall the 90's Bills getting the same treatment.... win 3 in a row and it is super bowl here we come. Lose 1 game and they are exposed for the frauds they are.

    I signed up for ESPN. 

    It won’t let me watch on my TV only my phone. 

    I paid to add ESPN to Disney and Hulu and says it’s not available on either one. 

    Espn is stuck in the 90s. You can't stream mnf without a cable subscription or a live TV subscription (youtube TV, hulu tv, etc) they do have like 2 or 3 games that will stream to espn+ for the current season.

    It is so incredibly stupid. They have a streaming service. It should either be available on it or have a subscription tier that it is.

    Yeah, pretty tired of the Electoral College here. An entire institution devoted to isolating the voting public from the selection of President.

    Have to say the reversal of the effect from the electoral college makes me laugh. One of the reasons for it was to limit the impact of the uneducated in electing unqualified people. Now the under educated hold the country hostage with it

    Is season 4 better than season 3, cuz I thought 3 was kinda painful? It was like Hollywood came in and took a dump on a decent franchise.

    I didn't hate season 3. It wasn't as good as the first 2 but I didn't hate it.

    Season 4 so far has been pretty good. However I am known as someone that is easy to please when it comes to the media I watch.

    One of the catchphrases the show runners have repeated in interviews about season 4 is how the cast has aged up so they can ramp up the horror aspects of the show

    Sure, they were always for the kids but like you’re suggesting, Lucas took it to the extreme. Even being kid friendly, the originals had a bit of edge to them, pretty much all in the form of Han. But Lucas even tried to take that away with the whole “Han shot first” fiasco. 
     

    There’s three things about those prequels that are so over the top kiddy, which just so happen to be three things that pretty much ruin the movies for me. 
    1. 6 year old Anakin

    2. The army of droids, giving you an easy path to an endless supply of “bloodless” kills

    3. jarjar 

    Again i say the issues of the prequels was not about being kid friendly. It was being the singular vision of Lucas. The man had a 22 year gap in directing movies and he has never been a good director.

    The kiddie friendly approach is what gave us the prequels, it’s not something I can stomach. 

    the worst parts of the prequels are born out of the fact that it was Lucas unleashed. He needed someone working with him to be like no George we are not doing that. Or at the least someone else directing. To blame the issues of the prequels on "kid friendly" is to ignore that all of Star Wars has always been about kid friendly.

     Again I never said I’m better equipped but I will say if I think someone is not applying it.

    You have said you are better. It is the repeated arguement you use everytime someone calls out something you say and I am guessing I am not the only one that typically dismisses things you say because of it.

    America has a unique problem with mass shootings.  They don’t have a unique problem with mental illness, extreme nationalism, bullying, economic inequality, or any of a number of sociopolitical issues.  The rest of the world has very readily solved the issue of mass shootings in the face of all of these non unique issues.  The solution is very straight forward.  

    It is almost as if American exceptionalism is a major problem

    People also need to understand that if you don’t enact the right measures you will end up where you started with more dead people.

     

    That is illogical. If we banned private ownership of guns right now we would have less mass shooting compared to the last 10 years.

    What I am saying is the mindset these people are using will lead them to find other means of carrying out attacks of similar magnitude.

    Again right out of the nra playback. People commiting mass murders are doing so with the weapons that maximize the effort. The ability to obtain the weapons used is the force multiplier of the events

    At some point the right needs to acknowledge that widespread gun ownership, statements of replacement theory (and other hate mongering theories) and aggressive language is an unsafe combination.  This is the 3rd  or 4th mass shooting in recent memory where replacement theory has been the motivator.  Adults on the right side need to do the right thing and stop this kind of crap messaging.

     

    Correction- the adults on the right need to do the right thing and condemn this kind of crap messaging, not just stop doing it.

    When you are the minority party and you are clinging on to your majority holdings the last thing you are doing is the "right thing"
