Promises made, promises kept! Amirite?
Factory Jobs Still Head Offshore Despite Trump Promises

That is basically a story about auto manufacturing in Ohio. Ever had the opportunity to watch or be around union workers in OH? It would be an eye opener I promise. The hardest I've seen a union worker work in a OH nuclear plant was in planning how to avoid doing anything productive. Union workers in PA nuclear plants pretty much mirrored the OH work ethic. For one preoperational test in OH, we had to install instrumentation inside the reactor, and it prompted an immediate plantwide work shutdown. The compromise was multiple union guys from different trades - like electrical, instrumentation, boilermakers, welders, etc sitting around watching one of our guys install the instrumentation.

Solve the union problem by applying antitrust law to unions, and that's a start, but unions can deliver lots of votes, so ... The other part of the equation with countries like China who manipulate currency and production costs and steal technology is tariffs, then a lot of other people start squealing like pigs. Trump has at least worked on that issue rather than continuing to bend over for the Chinese and take it with a smile.

"Context is always key," Segal said. "More people than not will use the OK symbol as just 'OK.' But in those cases where there's more underlining meaning, I think it's important for people to understand that it could be used, and is being used, for hate as well."

Why are you on this sin kick. Sin is a made up biblical term that implies one might be in danger of hell fire or some horrid punishment. There is only right and wrong and that can be objective in so many cases. I have about 20 posts on the subject of racism which we were discussing. Take them as you will. I have nothing to add or argue about that. And I certainly don't want to argue religion but you brought up sin and I don't accept that it exists except in the mind. We're through here.

"Sin" is a word and concept that predates Christianity. And it's a word that transcends religion. It means "transgression".

I'd be interested in your source of "objective" right/wrong outside of a religious context. That objective standard would be...?

Those posts are (in part) what we're discussing, no?

And sociology, psychology, and political science books will be full of theories of how the American public allowed it to happen.

Is this finally an admission that baby libs go to universities to learn how to become good tree hugging, fully indoctrinated, fully retarded fire breathing, "educated" progressives?

I was changing TV channels Thursday afternoon and noticed she was on Ellen's Show. At least she acted like she had a brain this time in public and didn't act like a true insane liberal hating Trump idiot that she really is in life...

My post has a LOT of merit, considering your use of "divisiveness" as a pejorative, and neew admission that it's a virtue.

I don't believe divisiveness is a vice either.

Of course, I didn't use it as a sin to demonize someone for disagreeing with me, either.

So, what it boils down to is that you are an intellectual fascist that believes it's a sin to hold different values from you, and committing that sin makes them fair game to being falsely demonized (dehumanized) through intellectual dishonesty?

Like I said, it's an ugly admission.

That's just a load of BS.
Some opposing views should be demonized, some should not.
Disagreeing on favorite pizza topping is not the same as disagreeing on whether or not some races are superior.

Some people find this stuff funny. I find the complete lack of respect for people that may not think like you to be what is tearing this country apart from both parties. No respect for others at all anymore.

Yep I agree with this..... no one cares about topics that really matter anymore anyways.

This one is over. It's not even worth debating in the football forum. If any of us watch lets just hope to see some promising signs. Pruitt has been disappointing. He continued to hang his hat on a consistently ineffective QB and that is why the program is at this point 3 years in. I know there will be some disagreement but he's starting to look like a moron.

No what’s absolutely hilarious is that the opposition has a bigger turnout to oppose than the supporters to hear Punxsutawney Joe’s tripe message. Zero enthusiasm to support.

But the polls! 😂

It doesn’t matter what someone views are.... it’s their actions that matter.... a lot of time the over reaction to someone’s viewpoints will create new racists.
