Well, considering there have been a lot of "dark stains" on our nations history in the past few years, and nothing has been allowed to be posted about any of that without reprimand...yes... I will say this...I find it funny for people to be concerned about "our democracy" now when it's been under attack for much longer than yesterday... You can't have it both ways...either there can be political dialogue or there can't... I vote for the latter... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it’s been under attack much longer than yesterday, but yesterday was an ACTUAL PHYSICAL attack on our democracy. I’m totally fine with no politics, but it’s really hard to not think about or talk about yesterday in a thread called “On This Day in History.” The events of yesterday are history - a significant historical event that will be studied for decades. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been "ACTUAL PHYSICAL ATTACKS" on our democracy for quite some time now...You even reported about some of them from NYC... Let's just drop this now...CC was right in not allowing political discourse in this forum...One meant to bring IU basketball fans together...It's in his honor I won't carry this further...

They were both terrorists acts against our country. However this one was fueled by our "political system" per se. I think I will bow out of this discussion per board rules. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Guys, please move to another thread. Maybe the basketball forum even.

First time since I was a kid. That's historical. In Houston area, we almost never see any snow. One Christmas Eve and Christmas, when my kids were all under 10, out of nowhere, it snowed. The kids woke up on Christmas and ran outside to build a snowman. Historical or not, one of the most memorable days in my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
