Balloon guy 158 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Given that many states have no check on voters, and that there are huge financial gains in winning, I find it weird that anyone would trust politicians to be on the up and up. Politicians are by their nature deceptive, so when I see Democrats fighting anyone looking into voting fraud, I think that tells you all you need to know. Link to post Share on other sites

GOCUBSGO 77 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Naw they have not turned against us............they are self destructing, hurting their parent company Disney. Except that couldn't be further from the truth. Disney understands that the business model is rapidly changing and that they needed to adapt as more and more people opt to cut the cable cord. ESPN is attempting to reach a younger, more diverse audience while also maintaining the foundation of what made ESPN successful in the first place. And they have been largely successful in those efforts. When right wing critics complain of liberal bias and political correctness at ESPN, what they are really complaining about is diversity that frightens middle aged white men who don't know how to respond when two black hosts use lingo they don't like or understand. They want the old ESPN filled with white guys who look like and talk just like them. And when you have a President who refuses to condemn white supremacists and seemingly targets minorities with nearly every major policy, of course a lineup of more diverse hosts are going to speak out against him. What the right interprets as liberal bias is simply ESPN providing a platform where the opinions of a diverse set of intelligent and socially aware non white hosts matter just as much as the white guys you wish still dominated the airwaves. I'm going to give you a helpful piece of insight. You are NOT ESPNs target audience anymore. Viewership may be declining, but it has very little to do with political bias and everything to do with a changing business model. An excellent article discussing this exact topic. https://medium.com/f...ive-d4f1b9b2ce0 Link to post Share on other sites

ESPN is attempting to reach a younger, more diverse audience while also maintaining the foundation of what made ESPN successful in the first place. And they have been largely successful in those efforts. I overcooked my post but they are a drag on Disney and that is not going to change in the near future. Quote from your article "Declining subscribers, a cable bundle that is falling apart, expensive deals with the NFL, NBA, and others, that are locked in for years to come, these are the real problems". Even though I really don't want to get into the political side, that part has had an effect. How much I do not know. And yes I am totally aware of them changing things dramatically, read the article long time ago. When right wing critics complain of liberal bias and political correctness at ESPN, what they are really complaining about is diversity that frightens middle aged white men who don't know how to respond when two black hosts use lingo they don't like or understand. They want the old ESPN filled with white guys who looked like and talked just like them. This is just a bunch of BULLS**T And when you have a President who refuses to condemn white supremacists and seemingly targets minorities with nearly every major policy, of course a lineup of more diverse hosts are going to speak out against him. Really..........He has condemned white supremacists. You know there is nothing he can say, he will always be attacked. Policies targeting minorities, BULLS**T. And Jamele Hill tweets were just totally out of line. I am sure the big wigs at the network are not happy about her twitter rant. What the right interprets as liberal bias is simply ESPN providing a platform where the opinions of a diverse set of intelligent and socially aware non white hosts matter just as much as the white guys you wish still dominated the airwaves. Really.."I WISH", that is the most ignorant thing you have ever posted. I don't do the WHITE BLACK THING......or any other color. I'm going to give you a helpful piece of insight. You are NOT ESPNs target audience anymore. I will give you a little insight......I do not do cable. I watch some college football and all the broadcasts of college I graduated from. In fact i am thankful for ESPN because the put my college on the map big time. Viewership may be declining, but it has very little to do with political bias and everything to do with a changing business model. Agree......even though we do not know the total impact of the political thing. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I see the new fad is conservatives with "friends in Canada" who say that Canadian healthcare isn't all that great. The ignorance is truly staggering. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenxis 99 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I see the new fad is conservatives with "friends in Canada" who say that Canadian healthcare isn't all that great. The ignorance is truly staggering. To be fair if you ignore the fact that the US spends almost double the amount per capita, that rural coverage is horrendous, and people get screwed out of coverage all the time then yes. Another thing to consider is that while emergent care is top notch; for non-life threatening surgeries the wait times can be terrible. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yes when you hear stories of people waiting months for an MRI, it's for a knee injury or something. If you are sick, you are getting in and getting in quick.. Every anecdote that I've read in the last week from some "friend" of a conservative has been either outright bullshit or very misleading. Our system isn't perfect but if you are sick, you are going to get world class healthcare quickly and it isn't going to bankrupt you. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 that rural coverage is horrendous Are you talking about Canada here? Because everywhere I've been rurally in the US have zero wait times and doctors available to see me without an appointment. Link to post Share on other sites
SilentSnow 1 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 When the truth has become a joke, you just might have a problem. Pretty sad that the Onion is the most honest and accurate news source regarding mass shootings. http://www.theonion.com/article/no-way-prevent-says-only-nation-where-regularly-ha-57086 http://www.theonion.com/article/nra-says-mass-shootings-just-unfortunate-price-pro-57094 http://www.theonion.com/article/americans-hopeful-will-be-last-mass-shooting-they--57093 Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,752 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 The first article is nowhere near the truth. Not only do mass shootings occur more frequently in countries all over Africa, but they also have higher death tolls. I feel like the Dems that ignore Africa are being a tad racist. This completely ignores Eastern Eupore also. In the end, though, my gut feeling is that the 86 people that died in Nice, France by getting run over by a truck don't give a shit that they weren't killed by a bullet instead of a tire. But that's just a guess. I'm also positive that Norway will be thrilled to find out that the 77 kids that Anders Breivik shot are alive and well since that stuff never happens in other countries.

Balloon guy 158 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I see the new fad is conservatives with "friends in Canada" who say that Canadian healthcare isn't all that great. The ignorance is truly staggering. I have a few friends in Canada, some from local cigar store and one I travel with. The one I've traveled with can't say enough good about Canadian healthcare, even had colon cancer dealt with in Canada and was well treated. He also was on the board for the local hospital for many years. He told me they had a rich donor give them an MRI machine, but the government refused to release funds to staff the machine for over a year. The 2 guys from the cigar store hate the Canadian healthcare system, one of them has a son permanently crippled in his arm because of delay in operating on a bad broken arm. He himself had to drive 2 hours with a concussion to get a cat scan because the local wait time was going to be 2 weeks, so he drove himself to Toronto. You guys have a small country, with no need for military spending. Free healthcare is possible. Multiply your population by 10 and your state/provident government agencies by 5, then have lobbyist, insurance companies and healthcare conglomerates write up a new plan and hand it to corrupt politicians and tell me we have a shot at something remotely able to work. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/06/one-million-patients-week-cannot-get-gp-appointment-statistics/ It has a shelf life.
