I mean, I have a pretty normal-ish life. Just saying, there isn’t an ounce of substance to what you just said..
This is about as braindead as it gets. People that take this stance miss the point entirely. It’s not about there being cheaper options available. You’re comparing 19-whatever ancient decade to now. Which way has the trend shifted? Smaller today is NOT the same as yesteryear because of inflation and the debt burden that absolutely NO ONE wants talk about. The sighs are slapping us all in the face, yet we want to sing whatever song that makes the circumstance tolerable.

Edit:

I’m not fear mongering. I’m shining a light on the truth of the situation.
It really is nice seeing some take this approach and recognizing there IS a problem, but here is the cold hard truth as I see it ..

Yes, there is far too much frivolous spending taking place by ALL. of course the younger generations are the ones who should spend less and tighten their budget. YET, it’s the older generations that are heavily invested in the same shite that the younger folk are buying. It’s a debt system. It’s a Kick the can down the road system. It will get worse, guaranteed, so long as it keeps getting kicked. But at some point, no matter what, that bill is coming due and someone’s descendants are paying the damn price.

Pick your poison.

I vaguely remember seeing the news on the OKC bombing, but Columbine is the first one I remember vividly. That one stuck with me.
Not excited. Reminded of where we actually are.

Mort - Latin origin, meaning “death”.
Gage - Anglo-French origin, meaning “pledge”.

Thus “mortgage” when combining these yields “death pledge”, or - more appropriately in the context of a 50-year mortgage - “debt pledge”. A lifetime of debt servitude. To money. To death itself. Symbolically expressed in the form of the 50-year mortgage.

I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but at least try to understand what this quote really means instead of bastardizing the hell out of it.

It’s not meant to be some hop scotch checklist to be completed sequentially. It speaks to the ripple effect each and every one of our own individual actions has on the rest of the world depending on whether or not we hold love, or hate, in our hearts. The fact that these guys are willing to go to a place like that to do the good work, when I am not, tells me that I have a lot of work to do in my own. We all do. Then, maybe someday, in some lifetime, guys won’t get kidnapped or killed in some shithole country while trying to help others who have been left behind.

Hope this helps.

Simply brilliant work, ms Patton. What would that equation look like in context of the events that took place during S.Carolina at LSU?
I am reminded of this scene from kingdom of heaven :

I just want to take the moment to honor this man who had the courage to put himself out there and speak, even in the face of dissent or ridicule; who engaged the public in a meaningful way and provided a forum where others could to the same, no matter their beliefs. For his family - that they may find comfort and healing as they go through this tragedy.
I worked at Seabrook harbor once upon a time. Tying up a boat we just put in the water, I look up the channel and in the distance I see a tiny craft putting my direction. They pulled up in the most rickety looking backyard raft you can imagine. No covered sleeping quarters or anything like that, just three guys and a raft, and it only had a little 2.5hp outboard on it.

Turns out these baws came all the way from Minnesota. Documented the whole thing and blogged it on a website. I remember thinking how insane that was, and how awesome it could be at the same time. But coming from tennesse with nothing but paddles.. I’m not sure which is crazier. River can be a dangerous place with all the shipping vessels.

ETA: it was these guys

Were I in your shoes .. I would absolutely hang my hat on run ruling the national champs.

But of course you’re trolling, and we all realize NSU making Omaha would be the miracle of all miracles.

Arky had LSU dead to rights, and I just can’t even right now. Almost wrote the evening off.

But then .. the Omahawgs were Eauxmahawgs. Incredible game. Better luck next year.

Gotta admire that defender's grip, he's literally getting dragged along the ground. I can't stop laughing at it.


:lol: He was just as determined to make a play as Ingram!
I’m not sure. I’m nether a football player nor a physics wiz. All I know is that there needs to be some form of consistency. Especially when the rule is left to interpretation.
Yes that helmet helmet needs to be called. Right call, I’m just passed that it took the the cowboys game last week to wake the league up.
No. The 5 INT 0 TD loss to ATL takes the cake.
