It's the Charlie effect. I agreed with Charlie, but the way he argued it made even me want to side against him because he was being toxic and pointless in his arguments

Oh, right. I kinda forgot he was the catalyst for a lot of that shit. I think that's why I just went off on him multiple times. He was doing more damage to what he talked about than helping. Though I disagreed with him enough times to get on his ass in sincerity, like ... anything to do with feminism whatsoever. He had no idea what he was talking about any more than the trilby crowd that eventually de-digivolved into meninists.
Trump seems intent for tantrum, but the Senate supports NATO anyway in 97 to 2 vote.
I'm genuinely surprised there wasn't a mass cowing to Trump there. I'm sure he'll have some choice tweets about it.

Hopefully the House will follow the Senate on this and leave Trump blowing in the wind like an empty garbage bag.
And then trump will do whatever he wants and congress will do nothing, just like with the Russian sanctions.
Ain't self preservation great...
HEY, YOU TAKE THAT BACK.... NO ONE IS MY EQUAL WHEN IT COMES TO SOPHOMORIC BULLSHIT... not even you...
We should have a poll to let the people decide, and then go with whichever gets less votes.

Step up your game, bro! You might think you're the Golden State Warriors of BS, but 10-12 years ago, I was the '97 Bulls you'd never have stood a chance against

Under 97 rules, the Bulls would beat the Warriors.You mean the rules that would give a team with 3 of the best shooters in NBA history a shorter three point line?See, now THAT'S why you're tied for king of BS

Two words: Hand checking. Warriors would be sent home to momma. And that perimeter defense would have locked the Warriors up.
Also, Kerr, Buechler, and Jordan had better shooting numbers than Curry or Thompson.
Defense in the 90s was nothing like it is now. They could hit people more but they barely had to run. Ball movement was nothing like it is now (especially on these warriors teams). The Bulls would be gassed.
Also, I meant three point shooting. Which Jordan was definitely not particularly good at. And the others' were partially buoyed by the 3 seasons with the shorter line.

Not to mention Draymond would fit in perfectly with 90s rules.

That's what I'm talking about - the Warriors rely on the current rules. I meant if you transplanted today's warriors to 96/97, and they had to play by those rules, the Bulls would win. The warriors wouldn't be able to compare with the physicality. Pippen, Jordan, and Harper would run roughshod over the warriors' offense.
Wait, Jordan was not particularly good at 3 points?
The shortened 3 point line went into effect in 94, and the leaguewide accuracy on 3pt shooting went from 33 to 37%, but actual attempts didn't go up appreciably. Who knows what the shorter line might for for the Warriors, but that year each of the Bulls’ top three 3-point shooters (Kerr, 52 percent; Buechler, 44 percent; Jordan, 43 percent) shot better than Curry and Thompson (41 percent each). Plus you figure in the Bulls' defense, and the Warriors aren't able to get the shots off, except maybe Durant.
Bulls in 5.
Pfft, you where simply forced to BS more back then because you had way more BS to keep up with from the way crazier people that where around back then...Step up your game, bro! You might think you're the Golden State Warriors of BS, but 10-12 years ago, I was the '97 Bulls you'd never have stood a chance against
I mean, no way those times where more civil...
Now, now... they're not sure yet if they are citizens or not...

I got a confession to make - I have no idea about anything in Basketball. My debate with @blotsfan is entirely spun out of snippets of stuff I've heard across my station's ESPN feed over the last couple years and stats I pulled from sports blogs while googling on the fly to fill in the gaps as needed. I haven't watched a basketball game in 20 years.
Now that's BSing

yes but how well would the Warriors do against the 97 Bulls if hand checking were legal, the 3pt line was shorter, and they played a 7 game series on the Death Star?
Please, I once convinced all of Halforums that I, a spice adverse Canadian knew more about what cheese went on a taco than the actual Mexican Halforumites.Now that's BSing
Yeah, no shit. The moment you tried to say MJ was a similar caliber 3 point shooter to Steph and Klay that was obvious.
I haven't checked. I assume our president has emphasized the importance of the commitment we make to our close allies in Western Europe?

Hillary had a 47% lead in that district. "Large number of votes" might not be the case, really.
Hey look, yet another case where the poor, poor Republican party is bound by their own bylaws to support an openly racist, Holocaust denying Nazi sympathizer. Too bad they can't do anything about those bylaws. Such an unfortunate turn of events, being forced to support such reprehensible candidates.
I'd just like to note that many players said the closer 3 point line actually made 3-pointers harder, because defenders would be closer to you. This meant it'd be easier for defenders to double team you if they believed a shot was imminent. Furthermore, even if defenders continued playing you man to man, the fact that you were now closer together meant that it was easier to get a hand in your face, or even block your 3 point attempt.
Nothing stopping you from shooting farther out (as Curry loves to do even now).
"But it's okay, because he can't possibly win the general." NO IT'S FUCKING NOT. Just stop it.
