I suppose @Scottysabres can address it. Also, congrats.. your next response will be your 20,000th post... a milestone.

Forgive my naivete. The story relayed is made up? I would agree you don't make policy on the extreme. My statement only referred to how people were responding to the story that was related. So, again.. how do we know this is a false story?

I agree. Have to hope he develops that strength. While I am sure he can get the same weight program in Rochester I have to believe there are some economic differences in what is spent on other aspects for the players. Perhaps those differences favor Thompson being in Buffalo as well.

If you allow for the possibility that the trade was more to remove O'Reilly than necessarily to trade for Thompson it might work better. If the Blues deal was the best Botterill could get for ROR then he took the best deal. If he felt ROR needed to be moved then it was addition by subtraction. We keep focusing on the return when it could be more the give that was important. Thompson isn't going to learn to skate any faster in the AHL. He lumbers around the rink and I think he doesn't fit with the Amerks style of play. I think what you have here is very plausible. He's just not a fit for the AHL and his best chance of success is being around the Sabres. Either way, it doesn't mean he will succeed.

I think there's a more tactful way of addressing the situation without resorting to mocking the story that ScottySabres shared.

Home for this one... looking forward to watching.

It’s only halfway through the game. They are owning play.

Sitting in Kingston, ON. Thankfully the game is on TSN.. got to the hotel room at the end of the first. yeah... this is good.

Oh I wasn't referring to Trump there. Just my suggestion in hashing through the concept I had floated.

Wait.. what? I don't follow baseball but this seems to be somewhat a conflict of interest. How could any of this actually happen?

I have it.. played it at midnight the first night it was available. I was quite inebriated though so I barely remember much of it.. (I was also very tired). It's good.. need to play more.

You can go cheap, but if you are serious about cutting stuff up you'll want to invest. Cheap knives go dull fast and become really obnoxious to work with. We have some Calpahlon that are holding up well.. but if I were doing it again I would buy this: https://www.misen.co/products/misen-chefs-knife I have a few industry friends who swear by them.

I agree that people are responsible for their own actions. However, it is a bit shortsighted to say that those who sow the seeds within others are also not guilty of attempting to subvert society and encourage the kind of behavior that results. I guess the simple way to put it is that I blame the person who pulls the trigger just as much as I blame the person who is whispering shoot, shoot, shoot into the shooter's ear.

There's no discussion of proving lineage though and it was never my suggestion to enact some kind of retroactive policy back the formation of the United States. Those who are citizens today are citizens today and remain citizens. The rule was the rule. The proposal was simply going forward.

I won't quote Pi's breakdown, but the play on the 3 on 2 is almost always to drop it to the high guy who can either pass or shoot with two players going to the net. The fact that it's Eichel only makes that even more painful. I'm still convinced it was a bit unlucky that Reinhart jumped in just as the puck broke free and at that point I'm not sure who on the Sabres would make up that ground. All in all, bad stuff from Risto.

Lots of potentials.. always a fan of his.. but not sure it ever beat Hakan Loob

Or it just hasn't been explained... It will be good to see Pominville play in his 1,000th game. I love when players reach milestones like this. I'll be in Kingston over the weekend for a tournament so not sure I'll get to see the game on Saturday... at least i get to see this one.

What do you mean it's not a real thing? There are no extreme left positions? I wholeheartedly disagree with that sentiment.

Yeah, I don't have a huge problem with it either. Just thinking of how I would do it if I had to address it I suppose.

We've definitely wandered off into another topic zone... I figured I would ask. Discuss it here or throw it into a new thread? I think @Scottysabres has a lot of things in the post that will drive a lot of commentary. If we want this thread to remain relegated to the bomb discussion and subsequent news regarding the bomber I would say we move this to its own topic... Thoughts?

Wait... I mean, I suppose you could substitute antifa or some other extreme left reference but I think the point is clear.

Let me follow my line of reasoning all the way to one critical point: there is a mechanism by which people can become citizens of the United States. Your premise and entire line of reasoning is based on the idea that there is no other way to become a citizen of the US except by birth, which is of course, not true. Indeed, the initial colonists must have all been granted citizenship when the United States was formed as they were certainly not born here. So, it seems that this problem was solved at the outright. A child born of non-US citizens while they residing in the US should be given the citizenship of the parents. If the parents become US citizens before the child can legally become a US citizen on its own then the child should be granted citizenship in conjunction with the parent. I don't think that's really a complicated solution.

If you didn't understand the response perhaps it would be better to try and ask questions rather than summarily dismiss it with a flippant response of your own.. The initial questions raised are the key to understanding why a person becomes this way. As for a discussion on a genetic disposition of hatred: We are born ignorant of many things. We don't know what to do with them until we are taught. There may be a genetic tendency toward rage and many other factors but hatred is a purely learned trait. One does not see someone of a different ethnic background and hate them because of it. For that matter, until you knew what a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim were they were meaningless words. If you had never been taught what they were I could line 3 people up and you'd not feel hatred towards them for practicing any of those faiths. If you want to continue down this path you should bring some level of research supporting the theory of hatred being linked to genetics. Hatred of the kind that causes people to want to destroy others because of their religion or ethnicity. Not hatred of coriander which really isn't hatred but a dislike as a defense mechanism. I've never seen any although there are some theories but most of them just don't stand up to examination.

Well... he's not wrong. I love that quote actually. It seems the word in the locker room is to not feed the media and challenge them. That's cool, they need it.

Oh, I get things in return from the government. Keep in mind I am not saying we should not pay taxes. I am saying I am not in favor of heavier taxation until the government can bring some efficiency to its operations. While I am a fan of smaller government, I don't advocate for no government. Without overtaxing my brain I would be far more in favor of certain governmental services being turned over to something like private B corporations. That's the general concept which of course at that level could be shot full of holes. I suppose the foundational concept is that I would like to see more entrepreneurial programs supported that can really effect change in our society. I don't think the government will ever be the entity to enable that.
