My school didn't have any form of football when I went, because they used to do full tackle for years, up until it killed someone.

There goes my weekend.
Football was a big deal from Junior High on. Apparently, so were steroids for some guys. By junior year a couple of them had bulked up so much they looked like they's had an air hose jammed up their ass.
(There's more, but in deference to others here who don't deserve to be caught in the same net as this particular asshole from my youth, I'll leave it there.)

This is what happens if you let the Death Eaters raise Neville Longbottom.
My grandfather, my dad, and Mr. Z have all played football (either high school, college or pro), and they all said the same thing: Li'l Z is not allowed to play football. Frankly, I'm cool with that decision.
Interesting article over at The Rebel: Ezra Levant’s staff memo on the alt-right
Many paint them with the same brush as Breitbart, but this is a clear "we stand for this, and against that" article by their founder, who BTW is a Jew. Very clearly distancing themselves from even the alt-right label, and though it shouldn't need to be said (given again, Jew), away from Nazis as well.
It's worth a read IMO.
And FYI: at least some of the video you're seeing covering the "actual impact" is theirs. One of their reporters was in the middle of the BLM/Antifa crowd/protest interviewing them when the car rammed through them. She was about 10 feet (maybe less) from the impact when it happened.

Pfft, the real pessimist views everyone less pessimistic as an optimist...
I'm not actually. Shouldn't have put "(or even tolerate)" in parentheses.
But i was also not talking about the ones that embraced the full on supremacy stuff, the ones that voted for Trump after all he said (but without using any directly racist words) are just as complicit, and what i was getting at with the "right words" thing.[DOUBLEPOST=1502741970,1502741841][/DOUBLEPOST]
I'm going to have to disagree with you there. See: slavic nazis.
Richard Spencer can't be in nine places at once, so maybe he's hoping his puncher will guess the wrong one.
(I'm assuming Spencer is out of jail at this point; I could be wrong.)
Oh fuck off. "We can't even be sure the people who were carrying Nazi flags weren't agents provocateur" Nobody is desperate to paint them as Nazis, they are proclaiming themselves Nazis. Then he paints the fucking alt-right as equal to black rights matters. Ezra Levant, still scum. Calls pedophile defender Milo Yiannopolis adorable and lovable. As though he's just a scamp, what a fucking rascal he is.
Now that the alt-right has been outted as LITERAL nazis, and it looks really, really bad, these fucking snakes are trying to claim, oh we're not nazis. They still have people like Gavin "I'm finding myself defending nazis/Proudboy Canadian racist/I can't be racist, my boss is jew!" McInnes on staff.
Then claims they're the only honest reporters because other news agencies want to use their footage. The only reason they want it is because your piece of shit reporter was there, complaining about how the counter-protesters were being allowed to march "luckily" while some nazi fuck plowed into them.
US Government wants activists details.
The Department of Justice wants information on visitors to a site which organised protests on the day of Trump's inaugaration. The warrant is here. Basically visit a site critical of Trump & the government wants to know who you are, where you work, your telephone numbers & email addresses, and your credit card & bank account details.
That's some real anti-democratic authoritarian level shit there.

I agree this is bad shit.
I do not agree that this is as bad as you say. In such societies that are actual authoritarian governments (China, Cuba, UK is going that direction with the Snooper's Charter and such) they ALREADY KNOW all the sites you go to all the time. They don't need a warrant to get it.
It's shitty they're even asking. Be glad they HAVE to ask... for now.
Both of your surprise surprises me.
Go on...

Lil' bit of local news from my neck of the woods -
White supremacist group barred from rallying on Texas A&M Campus

I never said I was surprised.
Ya, but I mean I used to be more concerned with digital privacy. Now I'm a lot more "SOMEBODY has it all anyways. Unless you're using Tor, you're fucked, so just don't worry about it" most of the time.
That's a weird response.
The other side of that is that there's a tendency to see everything government does related to the internet as totalitarianism. REAL such things are like China (Where do you start with them? Great Firewall, Golden Shield, that spyware they're making all non-Han types in eastern china install on their phones, gamifying being loyal (the true horror of this was analyzed by the Extra Credits channel), and probably a lot others I don't have links for), and that system that Libya was using (from a USA contractor IIRC) prior to overthrow... and maybe now too. My google-fu is failing to find that one right now.
So it's more of a "you don't know how bad it really gets" as well. ANY slide towards that however is bad.
That's an interesting kink, DA.
Yeah, no. Forget History, and you are doomed to repeat it. Instead learn from it, and avoid taking that path again.Ladies and Gentlemen: The words of Confederate General Robert E. Lee:

And a whole lot of those monuments only got raised when civil rights laws/amendments got passed, not in any 'honor' of the confederacy.
And one of the reasons they are crumpling like fucking tissue paper is because these "Lost Cause" era monuments were made as cheaply as possible for mass production. The one that just went down was basically a thin layer of sheet metal.

Yeah, i hear Antifa and BLM are a real problem in Poland.Poland knows what's up.
[DOUBLEPOST=1502849320,1502848951][/DOUBLEPOST]Ladies and
Poland quite literally experienced the horrors of both Nazism and Communism. So that flag is NOT a surprise.
What type of rally was that at @GasBandit? I didn't see a link.
I'm going to have to disagree with "I’ll tell you why. It’s the same reason that the Confederate flag became associated with racism in the first place."
The reason why that particular flag is used is because it's the one of the many the Confederacy had that racists decided to use to represent them.
Unless I'm misreading, you just rephrased what the author said. The battle flag went from a military/national symbol to a racist one because racists use(d) it.

Wow. People sure were all, "Yay we survived the end of the 19th Century LETS BUILD A BUNCH OF CRAP!"
...much like the swastika, itself.
--Patrick
Point was that it wasn't a national symbol, it was one flag amongst many, and it only became THE symbol for the south because some racists recognized it as one of the better designs (except the original was more square, which makes sense as a battle flag).
It wasn't one flag among many, though. The battle flag (and, consequently, any other flag with it as a device) was the Confederacy's main symbol from what I've read (your earlier Wikipedia link did not dispel this notion).
I still don't understand your disagreement with the author.
