At least with the noise factor.

I've been to Arrowhead. That place can get friggin' LOUD and they are now going to kick it up a notch.

Arrowhead’s claim to noise fame is a scripted decibel measurement event.

I have 0 doubt the typical SEC stadiums are, on an average game to game basis, significantly louder than Arrowhead.

I imagine it will be louder than usual. But it’s not going to compare to some of LSU’s 2019 games.

Anyone thinking Joe Biden is doing a good job is a head in the sand lemming idiot.

Crime

Inflation

Foreign affairs.

The ridiculous trillion dollar socialist spending bill that is “free”..

Hey here’s an idea, we aren’t going to let a fucking truck driver into the country with his/her load if they aren’t vaccinated but we will let a few hundred thousand migrants into the country per month, not give a fuck about their vaccine status, then put them on a train, plane, or automobile in the dead of the night curtesy of the taxpayer to destinations unknown all across the country.

And continue to support them from there.

Shhh. Don’t ask about it though. That’s off limits. As is every question. “Come on man” you can’t ask me that…

And don’t report it on CNN, MSNBC or talk bout it on the View.

He took an oath to uphold the laws of this country.

Is that doing so?

And what has Kamala “border czar” Harris done about it? Oh ya that is right, say she’s goi g to get to the “root cause” of this migration boom. Ummm ya don’t think the cause is the big carrot of free shit being given?? Derrr

So, before this thread takes its well-deserved trip to the free for all section, I'll say that the Bungs definitely have a fighting chance this weekend. By a few metrics, and looking at their weapons on offense, they're the Chiefs of three years ago, with a better defense.

I expect an entertaining game.

Finally, we offer initial evidence that online discussions feel more hostile, in part, because the behavior of such individuals is more visible online than offline.

Arrowhead was fucking loud for a mid season game. Loudest I've been. It's the bowl design. The article is dumb but that place is fucking loud and will be. I don't think LSU @ Miss State would compare.

People prone to believing wild ass conspiracy theories without sufficient or relevant evidence is not helping either. Irony of the Mamet principle is that you have to suffer the same affliction the principle prescribes in order to embrace the principle prescribing it. I'll let you sit with that.

And don’t report it on CNN, MSNBC or talk bout it on the View.

He took an oath to uphold the laws of this country.

Is that doing so?

And what has Kamala “border czar” Harris done about it? Oh ya that is right, say she’s goi g to get to the “root cause” of this migration boom. Ummm ya don’t think the cause is the big carrot of free shit being given?? Derrr

Ya Kabong, the previous guy was so much worse… :roll:

Take Trump out of the equation, you actually think ole corn pop is doing a good job?

Wow.
I was rooting for Biden to succeed as president even though we could all see he was struggling long before he was given the nomination.
He gets voted in....you have to support him, as its the best interest in everyone.

I thought John Delaney was the best of the group before it was narrowed down, he just was too unknown. Delaney grew up a few towns over in a working class family, went to Law school, started two businesses that were highly successful and eventually went public. Common sense, moderate with a Law degree and real world knowhow of the business world, law, finance, etc. Family man with 4 kids.

After it was narrowed down, I thought Biden would have been the most level headed choice, more moderate leader, who was not going to lead the country down a destructive path like Sanders or Warren or someone who has done very little like Buttigieg or a fake facade like Kamala.

Unfortunately, just about every decision he and his administration has made; policy change, foreign policy, Afgan, Ukraine, China, Korea, covid, immigration, economics, inflation, transportation, energy and costs, race relations, CRT, education, crime, law and order, etc. etc. has been harmful and deadly to the country...............and worse yet, has hurt the majority of the country, the lower and middle class.

Anybody that does not describe this administration as a collective train wreck, has political blinders on and has so much more loyalty and allegiance to their political party, then they do for this country and our future.

This is turning out to be worse than a train wreck, since a train eventually stops, the death and mess is cleaned up, investigated and corrected.
This train is not stopping and continues to do damage along the way. much of it is not repairable - for some time.

I keep hearing the Obama quote, which went along the lines of
"Never underestimate the ability of Joe, to fuck things up"

And its something new every week, right down to this weeks discrimination in his Supreme Court nomination process. He has eliminated 9 out of 10 potential candidates, not based on the content of their character, but based on the color of their skin.
You would think he would have learned a lesson with his cabinet choices in KH and PB, based on things other than their qualifications and experience.

It is getting embarrassing.

What if I accept all of this and ask a different question: why are some of you pathologically afflicted such that you are unable to keep yourselves from posting political stuff?
  • Is it a lack of willpower? You're addicts who can't help yourselves?
  • Is it form of narcissism? You assume what you think because you think it so important that it must be posted for others to read?
  • Is it a need to connect with others who share the same views?

Like Bill Maher said, the problem with this current Democratic thought process is.........

They lack Common Sense.

They love people like Dr. Oz.

Until he put his name into the ring as a candidate for Senator.
Once he put and "R" in front of his candidacy, he become a terrible person.

Again, party allegiance is first and foremost.

I know, you are addicted too.
But we both need to look and comment every now and then.

Maybe since this is a Steelers fan forum and we have been beaten down so much with the incompetence and lack of leadership from Tomlin, that we see the same incompetence and lack of leadership with the President and are seeing both our team and country go down the tubes simultaneously, that.......
Talking about it and venting,
sometimes helps.
I think.

Almost like a group therapy.
No?

Maybe since this is a Steelers fan forum and we have been beaten down so much with the incompetence and lack of leadership from Tomlin, that we see the same incompetence and lack of leadership with the President and are seeing both our team and country go down the tubes simultaneously, that.......
Talking about it and venting,
sometimes helps.
I think.

Almost like a group therapy.
No?
Maybe. The hostility disgusts me. It is patently false that there is nothing good or sensible on the left, patently false that there is nothing good or sensible on the right. I cannot stand the demonizing, the overgeneralizations. They are fallacies not rooted in evidence. Any way, back to football. And I notice the same ones who tend to call Tomlin a piece of shit are often the same who call the left or the right a worthless piece of shit. These people, in my opinion, have a respect problem.

Was this a weak-ass right wing attempt at humor?

Since today's right wing has lost all ability to actually be funny?

:lol: :lol:
Don't need to be. Getting plenty of laughs with that joke in the White House. He's a continuous laugh machine.
You must be referring to the previous occupant.
Another fucking joke who was insane, but not as bad as the current dingleberry who is a clueless career politician.

Anyone thinking Joe Biden is doing a good job is a head in the sand lemming idiot.

The border

Crime

Inflation

Foreign affairs.

The ridiculous trillion dollar socialist spending bill that is “free”..

Hey here’s an idea, we aren’t going to let a fucking truck driver into the country with his/her load if they aren’t vaccinated but we will let a few hundred thousand migrants into the country per month, not give a fuck about their vaccine status, then put them on a train, plane, or automobile in the dead of the night curtesy of the taxpayer to destinations unknown all across the country.

And continue to support them from there.

Shhh. Don’t ask about it though. That’s off limits. As is every question. “Come on man” you can’t ask me that…

And don’t report it on CNN, MSNBC or talk bout it on the View.

He took an oath to uphold the laws of this country.

Is that doing so?

And what has Kamala “border czar” Harris done about it? Oh ya that is right, say she’s goi g to get to the “root cause” of this migration boom. Ummm ya don’t think the cause is the big carrot of free shit being given?? Derrr

Ya Kabong, the previous guy was so much worse… :roll:

Take Trump out of the equation, you actually think ole corn pop is doing a good job?

Wow.

Dead on.
Hostility leads to violence.
As bad as Tomlin has been at his job and Biden....

It should never get to the point of name calling, obscenities, etc.

I do not think I have ever been disrespectful to anyone on this board.
I have never used derogatory words in describing anyone.
Do not bother searching.

I believe I have always been respectful in my conversation and dialogue.
You know me by now.

Unfortunately, the real world has not been and its getting worse.

Ummmm, the lack of respect is actually for “we the people” coming from those who took an oath to uphold our laws and more importantly our constitution.

A U.S. citizen, tax payer, and say first responder gets fired for exercising their individual liberty to not get vaccinated. What a slap in the face to a nurse, cop, firefighter who risked their own life working and exposing themselves when pandemic kicked-off. And yet they get fired today.

Migrant from wherever gets red carpet into the country despite the fact they aren’t vaccinated or more importantly, it’s illegal.

Biden cancels the keystone pipeline, immediately putting thousands of Americans on the unemployment line.

But he signs off on Putin’s pipeline.

California wants to DOUBLE their already highest in the nation state tax to give “free healthcare” to all. Including those here illegally.

Ridiculous trillion dollar spending bills claimed to be “free” yet paid for by “we the people” that hardly benefit we the people.

Favor given to criminals over victims.

I could literally go on all day.

Respect??

Where is the respect for the people whom these politicians are supposed to be working for??

And please, the “left” these days are nothing close to what the left was back when say JFK was around.

Shit, I wasn’t a fan of the Clintons but I’ll take a Bill Clinton liberal over what the left has become these days.

I don’t owe respect to someone making policy for their own interest rather than those they swore an oath for.

Like calling a reporter a “stupid SOB” for simply asking the POTUS a question on inflation?

You know, that pesky rise in the price of goods and services that is at 40 year highs…

But can’t ask corn pop bout it.

Really?

And the lemmings are on with it.

Amazing.

100% spot on. Ole Mashed Potato for Brains is completely Senile. He's an utter disgrace for this country and his VP Heels Up Harris is worse. At least Brandon is a Senile old man. What excuse does she have. The BATS**T Lunatic Far Left Liberals are hell bent on destroying this country.

Well, you obviously think I'm talking about you so maybe you yourself think you have a respect problem.

This is my last post in this shitty thread: if you think there is nothing good or sensible on the left (literally nothing) or you think there is nothing good or sensible on the right (literally nothing), you're not looking hard enough.

Your post reeks of both defensiveness and dismissal.

The American society has degenerated so much. Things chipped away over long time by people seeking to harm it and change it not what it was founded for.

Mamet principle is used at the heart of all this mess

End of statement
People prone to believing wild ass conspiracy theories without sufficient or relevant evidence is not helping either. Irony of the Mamet principle is that you have to suffer the same affliction the principle prescribes in order to embrace the principle prescribing it. I'll let you sit with that.
You don't need to espouse your grand wisdom PROF.

which requires more in-depth understanding of the truth, or slanted truth or flat out lying. Look at the data, see the reality, and follow the money

I'd say a lot of what is called conspiracy theories are not false but do prove true once uncovered based on the above.
