  1. I really love IU basketball. But this is what this board reminds me of sometimes.
  2. Appreciate the context. We have a fair amount of that here. And always worse in the summer.
  3. Man, the photos of him with his siblings is really heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine what the family is going through.
  4. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/13/technology/heritage-auctions-vintage-videocassettes.html I spend money on some silly things myself, but VCR tapes???
  5. Geez, that’s horrible. I only saw the mention of the two near the previous shooting. I just looked up the gun homicide rate on the CDC for Kentucky - 20.8!! (Per 100,000). I know some people think NY is dangerous, but we are at 5.3.
  6. I lay the blame where it belongs. Last I’ll say on this.
  7. We will have to agree to disagree. Different people, different cities, different experiences. We aren’t always going to agree, and I certainly agree that the word crazy applies to your own comments.
  8. And there are plenty of black kids that grow up dirt poor, or sexually abused, in and out of foster care, etc WHO DON’T GO AROUND VANDALIZING PROPERTY. If you think race doesn’t matter, I can’t help you. It absolutely matters.
  9. 16-18 year old me did a LOT of stupid stuff. But I was a white kid in a small town, so it all worked out for me. But yes, your point stands. Some of these kids are not going to make it in society. I do think it’s funny that these kids are old enough to know right and wrong, but wealthy white collar criminals and politicians (who had EVERY advantage) can claim to not know better and nothing happens. I’ve got no answers or solutions honestly, and not giving near enough time to kids like people like you. So, I will bow out of this conversation. Appreciate what do, but there are not enough people like you for so many of these kids.
  10. Finished Deadwood. Man, I LOVED that series. All of the characters really grow on you. I think Al became my favorite character. Started Justified last night, only one episode in. Good so far.
  11. Did I see that there was ANOTHER multiple shooting in Louisville over the weekend? And four teens killed at a birthday party in Alabama? Barely a blip on the radar, I guess b/c it’s so common. Saw a REALLY good post over the weekend positing that if politicians were the ones being killed (instead of our children, who are apparently expendable) then there would definitely be change. Heck, these a$$hole politicians will push for guns everywhere - EXCEPT many of their events where they are not allowed. Hypocrites.
  12. I tend to agree with that statement (but don’t know the context, so could be very ignorant), but yes there needs to be some accountability. I’m not okay with writing off kids b/c of their lack of support and opportunity. There are entire segments of our society that we have decided to write off b/c they don’t look or act like us.
  13. Macron has been screwing the pooch on all fronts for a bit. Not a fan of his.
  14. Dying laughing typing this, b/c there’s only a certain subsection of America that will really get this.
  15. I hope you weren’t uncovered in the front row! 😄 Loved that dude.
