The Democrat Utopia

As I’ve said before, our house got broken into while my wife and daughter were home at roughly 2:00 am and wife came face to face with the criminals.  Daughter was pretty traumatized and required therapy to feel safe at home again.   Years later Wife still puts a chair inside and infront and under the knob of the door and the criminals came through.   
 

Learning to live with the trauma is quite different than that type of trauma being a basic life experience.  I’m guessing over 90% of the homes and car owners in the neighborhood haven’t had to deal with a “basic life experience” such as that.  
 

John is a clown for equating it to be one.

Actually a neighbor had the crooks on his Ring camera.  They hit every driveway.

So yeah, over 90%.
 

Buttercups need to suck it up and realize this world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows!

I just happened to see this again.

Just three hours before posting this (which I agree with) you post about the Vermont high school getting upset rather than changing a rule of a governing body.

How do you keep track of where to stand on issues when your moral compass doesn’t stop spinning?

:facepalm:
 

your apples to rockets comparison was quite weak.  
 

Do you know if the HS girls coach is on the Vermont HS sports rules committee?  
We know Liz is a Senator and capable of putting forth legislation or voting on Legislation. 
 

Second, your comparing a Senator asking a second federal body to possibly break federal law by doing something about an issue that is currently legal to a High School that wasn’t asking for anything!!!!   They just declined to play a game and forfeit.  For that, they got banned from competing in EVERYTHING!  Is there even a current rule in Vermont sports that says it’s a rule that if you forfeit a game you are then banned as a HS from competing in anything else?  
 

As Joe would eloquently mumble…… C’mon man.   You have a very silly comparison here.

If Vermont is like every other state, coaches can take concerns to the governing body, and propose possible changes.  
 

So that’s how you do it?  Pretend that everything is apples to rockets? And no consistency is required to be taken seriously?

I know how you didn’t sympathize with protestors as they were gassed by the National Gaurd.  Why are you upset that some protestors couldn’t compete for a basketball championship?

Could you clarify if this means you are fine with the school being banned from competing in all sports because of forfeiting one game.

I’ll look for the rule the next time I poop.  But if you really cared, you’d look for yourself…

But according to one article I saw the team was “kicked out” because they didn’t live up to the non-discriminatory laws defined by the state of Vermont.  An agreement that all private schools competing in state competitions signs and agrees to.

And that’s as far as the coach can go.  Quite different than the steps a US Senator can take.  Geesh.  
 

Oh, your first comparison didn’t work out so now your going with the BLM DC riot is the same as girls HS team WILLINGLY forfeiting (is that even protesting?) and then being penalized by not being able to compete IN ANYTHING going forward??
Those 2 things are equatable  :blink:

If Warren draws up legislation, does it become law?
 

Questioning if a HS team forfeiting instead of playing a trans student is protesting?

My goodness,  there’s like 3 people here that don’t have you on “ignore”.

Is your goal to get all of us on that list?

I don’t really care because I’m not the one making the incorrect comparison between the two scenarios.

My truck got broken into in my suburban driveway.

Not just a city experience.  Someone went through my brothers house and he lives at the edge of a small town in NE.

It sucks, but I’ve learned to live with the trauma it caused me.

The summer before I moved to San Francisco I had my bike stolen and my car broken into in Lincoln, Nebraska, and my buddy threatened with a gun in a small town Nebraska bar. 15 years of living in San Francisco never replicated that experience.

I had my car broken into living in Lincoln, broken into with a window smashed in living in Chicago, and broken into in Atlanta. I suppose we can argue the semantics on what does and doesn't qualify as a "basic city life experience" until we're blue in the face and use our interpretations to dunk on those we perceive as opposition but, idk seems pretty boring and pointless to me.

Forfeiting based on player safety may technically be a sorta form of protest, quite different than the DC riot protest that injured cops wouldn’t ya say.  
 

it’s just kinda weird how much you are wanting to conflate this issue into something it’s not.
