You'd be very surprised how much mandatory spending is increasing. I certainly was. Especially with our new healthcare program.

VN and society would be better off if I was dead..

Listen, I deal with people making these types of statements on a daily basis. If you were trying to be funny, it didn't work. That's not a thing to joke about.

If you are serious, you need to get help now.

Help is out there, son. You just have to be willing to seek it. I hope that you are able to find it. eace:

Tried everything including God. Thank you though for your support. I'll work on being less hateful VN.

I sadly wasn't being funny. I wish I was.

You think living in a multi cultural state gives you the authority to make sweeping generalizations about large groups of people? We only need to go back a page or two to see your views are not about "trash," but about race. I'm not sure how old you are, but maybe you haven't had enough life experience to realize individuals within a race come in all sorts of character.

I know you're not talking to me but I have a story.

When I was a kid (9th grade) one of my brothers was in college in Nashville. He worked at a camp for kids there, inner city kids. Now I went to an all-white christian school here in Chattanooga and yeah we had racism but it was because it was in the culture we were born into and raised in. It wasn't all that blatant in the adult side but kids go further on their own than the adults. Anyhow, my brother was bringing a big busload of these kids to our house (we had a lot of property) for a weekend camping trip. I was required to stay home and help out. I tried like everything to go spend the weekend at one of my friend's homes but my parents weren't having that. I actually ended up having a really really good time. Most of the kids were younger than me and they were all afraid of snakes (longer story). I thought they were incredible. That weekend is one of the fondest memories I have from those days.

I felt ugly afterwards when I thought about my original attitude and I knew my friends probably wouldn't understand but that was a new beginning for me. Eventually though many of my friends grew up and I guess maybe most had some similar experiences because they're not as ugly as we were back then. We're all still a bit ugly but we know it now and we know why. We work at it, I think, but if you're not diligent I think you could go off your diet just that quick. True story. I think racism is usually born out of ignorance so there is a cure but in all the cultures of humanity today one false step and you're back knee deep in a mud-puddle. Some people just don't care.

Am I a racist? I don't know what others think but I don't think so. I don't think I'm perfect. It's a wild world I live in and racism isn't the only ill but I'll never forget those kids from that weekend back in 1971 and the fun we shared. Today I have a multi-cultural social circle. It's much different that the social circle of my youth. I try to at least treat individuals fairly and with integrity even if sometimes I'm not treated fairly. It may make a difference. It may not. Who knows. In the grand scheme of things I'm not all that important. The world will go on. I just want to get along and have fun. :hi:

I hate everyone equally. I can admit that all day long. People suck. People have sucked for 10,000 years and I don't see that changing.

I hate white trash as much as I hate black trash, Mexican trash, or any other trash.

Without going into detail, I can empathize with you. That being said, one thing that I have realized is that I cannot control what other people do or say, but I have complete control over what I do and say.

Another thing that I tell my employees; you attract more flies with honey than you do vinegar.

We are all human. We are all flawed. We also have a choice on how we handle uncomfortable/upsetting situations.

I wish you the best of luck in finding peace within yourself.

It appears the new NCAA unlimited-meals rule was not thoroughly enough explained to Jameis Winston.

Thought this was a lighthearted joke at first, but with a little Google research learned that he really did do this. What the crud is he doing stealing crab legs. this guy is literally slated to be the #1 overall pick this coming year if he keeps his nose clean

People sometimes can't get out of their own way.

You're slipping out of character.

For those curious the splits are below. Military spending is 18%. I wouldn't say a small piece but it's less than social security and Medicare and only slightly bigger than income security.

Of course, poor people and rich people use social security and Medicare so they're more inefficient government cartels than giveaways to the poor.

When one of our kick-off return men takes it 100 yards plus to the house against Bama all will be much better.

Thank you sir. I try to keep the vinegar to myself. I know I'm a worthless POS, as many mentioned on here. I've just hit a depressive funk. I can't wait for the manic.

I feel your pain man...you aren't a worthless POS. You just gotta keep getting up everyday and not give up. I've dealt with being manic-depressive for going on 20 years now. The highs can be glorious and the lows unbearable. Finding a balance and a way to deal day-to-day is possible. There is help out there...you just gotta reach out. We all deal with stuff and I won't pretend to understand your situation. Just know you aren't alone.

 

[WriterVol]

That thing I said about being tired of people saying "all Vol fans" this and "all Vol fans" that? Yeah, that applies to so many situations in life.

A few Jameis Winston jokes from the Twitter world:

VolRumorMill ‏@VolRumorMill:
My question is who was Jameis working with? No one steals crab legs alone. His accomplice got away with the butter, asparagus, and potatoes.

VolRumorMill ‏@VolRumorMill:
“This Publix thing could even follow Winston to another school if the NCAA calls for a "show claws" penalty.”

sir broosk ‏@celebrityhottub:
We also learned that Publix has a top 3 ACC defense.

Jayson Swain ‏@JaysonSwain:
@VolRumorMill @TomahawkNation Do you think this story has legs?

Jayson Swain @JaysonSwain:
@WillBrinson: At this pace Jameis Winston will be a shell of himself next season.

VolRumorMill ‏@VolRumorMill:
This will certainly put Jameis Winston in hot water.

Jayson Swain ‏@JaysonSwain:
@csipes001: @JaysonSwain Jameis acting like this shows he doesn't think about his teammates. He's just shellfish!!

VolRumorMill ‏@VolRumorMill:
The legal team at FSU is very good. Winston will likely have a leg up should this go to trial.

Good story, thanks for sharing. I grew up in a multi cultural area (Illinois) and have seen the best and worst from all races pretty much all my life. I think at times I've been guilty of racism and the victim of racism. Just gotta keep working to shed my sins and pray for those who need it.

Side note: What's the point of having an off topic thread if we are gonna talk about race relations on the football thread? We best move this convo before Freak deletes the off topic thread. THAT would be a tragedy.
