Just keep in mind that 100% of all beef recalls and deaths from Beef all came from Federally inspected facilities.

Point being, just because you pay the money and a beaurocrat blesses you doesn’t make you better or safer.

As opposed to there being 0% recalls?

Oversight doesn't ensure certain safety. Duh. It does mean more safety. Same as corporate audits. Or any other double-checking. It all comes with marginal benefits.

Ultimately it's up to UT or whoever the employer was.

Don't necessarily agree with it, but easier said as an outsider, especially when her core competency is interviewing...athletes...which are a majority black...talk about awkward and a PR nightmare regardless.

Itd be hard to walk that back, if indeed its that egregious.

I just think most people are rational, and, know the difference. But I travel and talk to a lot people. Its quite nice to hear we're all pretty damn agreeable on so many topics.

Andy Methhead is a one off.

I work in food. The idea that the largest of food manufacturers and federal oversight agencies are adversarial is a myth.

I hope you’re not insinuating I’m a Dubya fan, or that anyone on the Right is.

If you do, you may need to spend some time with @Glitch, @InVOLuntary (I’ve heard your takes and I think we’re on same page) and myself and explain what we really think. May surprise you that you would probably agree with a majority of our stances.

This may be deleted, but seriously, we all should fellowship with an adult beverage sometime

He'd probably drink that pinky out beer that @bignewt drinks. Although I would say the last time I had beers with @bignewt I had some beer called Hawaiian silky baboon beer (or something along those lines) was pretty dang good.

Tweets say in back and forth chat:

“I’m called “n…” more than once on a daily basis”

“You mean lil “n…”?

“Plz don’t let yo “n….” down…”

Tweets are from from 2014 I believe. She’s 26 now. Would have been 18 at the time?…

There’s always a loss of context in time really on any subject. This is all really dumb especially considering she was a minor, which means she was an idiot.

Lol. I sincerely hope you don't become a victim of crime and see your loved one raped or killed right in front of you with no means of protecting yourself or your loved ones. Probably won't happen though because the police will be right there to rescue you I'm sure.

Do you have a point to make plainly? Tony Earls is a piece of ####. He got upset that he got robbed and decided to try to be John Wayne. He chased the assailant, lost him, and then fired blindly into the wrong car killing a little girl. He can't rot soon enough in my book.

This is my 2 cents about the Kasey situation.... If you choose to be a public figure, then you open yourself up for public scrutiny. I've had several people in my community approach me about running for alderman. I refuse to get into politics of any type because you open yourself up for anything you've ever done to be scrutinized by the public. Whether that's fair or not. I like Kasey a lot personally. She does a really good job. This situation, unfortunately, is one of the downsides of the current success and visibility of our athletic programs. We can agree or disagree all we want, but this has less to do with cancel culture and more to do with big picture. This could have been a major opportunity for those who want to see us fail. If it wasn't handled the way that it was, it would have been easy for national media to put an ugly spin on it. I really do hate it for her though.

I guess while I'm giving my 2 cents on things, I'll add to the permitless carry conversation. This is an easy one. Do we really want every idiot and headcase that can legally buy a gun to be able to carry one? At least without being required to have any training or education whatsoever about basic operation, safety, storage, laws, and legal ramifications? Having been around guns my entire life, and having worked in firearm education and training I know that I don't. If you've ever been at a shooting range and seen someone come in that doesn't even know how to load a gun, attempt taking target practice unsupervised.... you would not feel safe with thousands of those people walking armed amongst you and your loved ones everyday. Or, at least you shouldn't.

Absolutely not, if it's mandated by the government. It's up to the individual to obtain the training they deem necessary. We don't require training for the consumption of alcohol which kills many more people via DUI than accidental shootings of this kind.

I'm 100% behind training. The better trained you are, the less likely something like this will happen but it shouldn't be government mandated. A silly 8hr course isn't sufficient training to prepare someone for what happens in a situation where one is assaulted. Truth is, no one knows hiw they'd react. Cops spend 100's of hours training and they still make mistakes. Female cop that shot the guy, I think in Minnesota, that thought she had her taser.

Permitless carry is the law in almost half of the states now and has been for several years in some states. We have yet to see the deluge of killings that the detractors warned would come with permitless carry. Living in a permitless carry does not even slightly make me feel endangered.

I've carried for 10 years and will maintain my permit for reciprocity with states that don't allow constitutional carry. I guess I'm middle of the road on this. I understand and agree with the constitutional arguments, but I wasn't the slightest bit offended at going through a process to become legal to carry. The irony is that people who are worried about the legality or appropriateness of constitutional carry...from either pro or con...are absolutely not the people that it matters for to begin with. Inner-city violence isn't a problem of laws, it's a problem of people. A law never changes the heart of a man, it only reveals it. So we can argue pro or con until blue in the face, but honestly neither side is the problem, because while we may disagree on how to get there, both sides respect life and the rule of law. Those who don't respect life and the rule of law are the problem, and rest assured they aren't worried about the legality of carry, permitted or otherwise.

If the government was really serious about accidental firearm mishaps, they'd offer free training for anyone that wanted it. They would want to promote firearms safety. Sadly their solution is take them away. They've demonized guns for so long real solutions are never on the table. And, as you've said, the bigger problem is inner city, illegal guns, gang violence.
