Just making sure that I understand your view. One group marching and chanting hate language against Blacks and Jews. The other group trying to protest these vile pieces of shit. Yet you call them 2 groups of angry extremists. That is your view?
To make it very clear, both of those groups are marching chanting hate language(language, however is the least of the problem). To make it crystal clear- if you found yourself wearing the wrong political t-shirt in EITHER of those crowds, there is a 100% chance you would be assaulted. A certainty. Protesters don't show up with intentions of driving a car into a crowd of people, that a murderer. Protesters don't show up with bats, chemical sprays and face masks, those are criminals. So, you hit it the term right on the head, vile pieces of shit both of them.
Only one group was kkk and white nationalists. You are wrong.
The first sentence is 100% correct. Their hatred of blacks, Catholics, Jews, Foreigners etc.. put them at direct odds with me(not to mention its just plain wrong), However I don't let their views cloud my judgement as to everything else. The second sentence is wrong.
"Don't confuse the second mugger with the good guys." Story goes, walking down a dark street a mugger jumps you, as hes punching you he grabs your wallet. You hold on and start struggling. Around the corner comes mugger #2, he sees the tug of war with the fat wallet and cracks the first mugger over the head with his blackjack. Just as you get the words "Thank you" out of your mouth, that blackjack is crackin ya right in the noggin and mugger #2 walks away much richer and for a brief moment, a hero.

So mugger #1 is a Nazi. Mugger #2 is a White Supremacist. No blackjack for these guys. These guys used a Dodge Charger to run "you" over.
Well not quite, mugger #1 is a full fledged fascist and mugger #2 is a fascist who claims to be fighting fascism, through the use of fascism. Hope that clears it up.

Great analogy of something I guess but not this. I won't convince you and you won't convince me. I'll stop.

70, I think people see it very clearly. And I think it fair to say that both sides hate each other. I'll speak for myself here.
The US fought TWO wars in repudiation of the ideology of one of the two sides. 1). The Civil war at a cost of 700,000 lives. 2.) World War II at a cost of more than 50 million lives. I am not going back there. Capisce??
thehat, I can see your point, but my concern, is that it HURTS recruiting, or rather, POSSIBLY HURTS recruiting. Do you see my point?[/quote]59
We are into the most important discussion and threath to our country...Our country is divided and is headed into possible revolt...BUT......
A main concern...It is possibly HURTING OUR RECRUITING...
WOW.....Now that is what I call a rabid IONA fan...
If there was someway to bring about a reasonable rational solution to this most serious problem, I'd trade for it that IONA would never WIN another game without a minute of thought...and this from a over 70 year IONA fan.... ;)OT
There were a estimated 600,000 lives lost during the Civil War...Assuming that half of them (300,000) were fighting for the South will the next Leftest step be to lead their flock to desecrate their graves?
i know we are split by political party but people have to see there are extremists that are on both sides that are acting ridiculous. i voted for trump but i don't agree with the kkk and clansmen but on tv i never see the liberal news ever give even 1% fault to the people who protest Trump. Example, one of the protesters had a blow torch and they said it was good to fight against the trump supporters, really? Also i am sure there are some on both sides that think the statues should stay since it is part of our history, that doesn't make you part of the clan for thinking so.

Fair enough Chels, at least we agree on 1 out of 2 of the groups.
thehat, I can see your point, but my concern, is that it HURTS recruiting, or rather, POSSIBLY HURTS recruiting. Do you see my point?
At first no, Nothing I said was not 100% true and it is the off topic discussion. I did, however re-consider your point , And If something I said would hurt an Iona employees chance at success at recruiting or a promotion, I'm not gonna mess with someone's livelihood. And I am NOT gonna post only PC nonsense. So, I'm gonna stick to basketball board only.
I have a solution that would without out doubt stop or at least slow down terroism...
It will not be met with favor but it will be mild against the mountain of tears flowing in Spain...
Once a terroist is caught,found guilty he be sentenced to public death by the most horrific torture possible...It should be filmed with sound of the screams that go on and on.....
I know that is inhumane and OT is insane.....but I have see enough of humanity to learn the hard way that at time you must meet 'Fire with Fire'......
President Truman was met with somewhat the same problem.....When he was told that a attack on Japan proper would cost aprox. a half a million American lives, he answered 'Drop the bomb'...Almost 75,000 Japanese were killed in a flash...Shortly after when they refused to surrender he had the 2nd bomb dropped with the instance loss of another 100,000 lives....
I wonder if the mothers, wifes, and families of the half a million lives that were saved and would return home thought dropping the bomb was unneccessary....
I know my mother met me coming home with tears, hugs and kisses and thought little of the cost......
