78% of those deaths are people who were overweight. If we're going to mandate vaccines, let's also mandate diet and exercise routines.

Yes and no. That depends on a lot of things. There's varying degrees of exposure and it depends on the platform, things like platform security, encryption, data exchange protocols, who has permissions to view your information, etc. You're correct that there is a massive amount of data we put out onto the internet though. It's just a matter of if someone can access it and use it in a way we wouldn't be okay with.

They have, and they just don't think about it. If someone sends an email on Gmail and it processes through a server in a foreign country, the government can collect on it under the provisions of the Patriot Act. This is another guise that will just surrender more of our privacy in the name of safety. "Privacy", btw, is something that the UN deemed an essential human right back in 1948. If you wouldn't be cool with someone on this board scrolling through the texts and pictures on your phone, then don't act like privacy and individual rights aren't something that's important to you.

Will Smith in "Enemy of the State" said it best...

Only an arrogant psychopath would think they know better than anyone else what personal medical decisions someone should make.

Fire the WR coach again! My freaking God!

These refs remind me of someone from Tuscumbia whose name rhymes with Shmelen Weller.

Best play calling in the world is useless if the receivers drop every pass thrown to them.

I've fallen in love with Auburn Football all over again

A lot

Would love to see the first former assistant coach Saban loses to be Lane Kiffen.

I recall Bama losing to UL Monroe during Saban's first year. Bottom line: it is way too early to make any sort of judgment regarding Harsin's future legacy.

Tank has excellent field vision.

Twas the classic fallback for why we should keep Malzahn. Kinda like saying, "My partner is an abusive ****, but what if I dump them and the next one is an abusive **** AND an alcoholic? I just can't take that risk!"

I think we're gonna make the spread

Tank seems to have solid vision

1) I'm not sure what Apartheid has to do with this. 2) There have been a litany of examples of racial segregation in some form that have occurred since CRT began taking root. See the Evergreen instance in 2016, see Columbia University graduations, see many of these corporate trainings where they divide people up by race, see universities where they have safe spaces where white people aren't allowed. It happens. 3) Historically black colleges still allow other racial groups in, so it isn't exactly an example of segregation on any level. 4) I have quoted the hell out of CRT's literature. Virtually every time you've asked me to do it, I have. That's where most of my opinions on this matter come from: the actual literature. 5) This is not a conspiracy theory. If anything, CRT is a conspiracy theory, believing that all of society is working to oppress everyone who's not a straight white cis male. 6) America is not fundamentally racist. We have a racist history, but the progress has been phenomenal since then. Many statistics can be cited to show this. For instance 7 of the 8 most successful ethic groups in the U.S. are considered minorities. Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, Jewish Americans, Indian Americans, and Nigerian Americans are all more successful than white Americans. 7) Yes we can do better, and we were. CRT is not the path the progress. As passionate as I am about fighting this cancerous ideology, I have concluded that I will not have any success in doing so with you, no matter how compelling an argument I make. I can't continue hashing it out on here as I have more important things to do than spinning my wheels with someone online who absolutely will not be open to anything I have to say on this subject. I've made my points on CRT many times over throughout this thread. If you actually want answers to your questions on it, feel free to go back and read what I've already said.

Lol in defense of segregation? Really? And if CRT isn't what's behind recent instances of racial segregation, what is? Liberalism? Nah, it fought to end that. Conservativism? Nah, not that either. Perhaps the same ideology that criticized the Brown vs. Board of Education decision??? You seem to have this view of CRT that paints it as far more innocent than it is, and it's usually based on a wave top definition of it. I wish it was as innocent as you make it out to be, but it's not. I have to wonder if you'd feel differently if it wasn't Republicans who were fighting against it.

I should correct myself. The 1619 Project is somewhere between Historical Revisionism and Historical Negationism. It presents a historically innacurate reinterpretation of American history to further the narrative that our country is fundamentally racist. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theatlantic.com/amp/article/605152/

I didn't say you did. I was only agreeing that we need to teach actual history, not revisionist, and used The 1619 Project as one such example.

I disagree. If the Civil Rights Movement fought to end segregation and judging someone based on immutable characteristics alloted to them by chance, and CRT has us reinstituting segregation and judging someone based on immutable characteristics alloted to them by no fault of their own, would those things not be the opposite of each other?

^^Good discussion.

I'll check it out! I don't know if I'd say it's a "lost cause" as I think it depends on how you define victory. He* made a good point about the Vietnam War largely being seen as a disaster, but it did still fulfill much of its original purposes. I hadn't considered that. And damn, I originally had "he", then saw "Shay" and didn't want to look like a misogynist lol, so I edited it to "she."
