Yes. Thanks Guido !

If they had the science and the aggressive approach we have had to date including all mandates then their death rates may have been proportionally low.

They were incredibly far less informed back then than we are today. Today it is only a minority of those that are either ignorant to the dangers or that care nothing about others that continue to put others in danger today than they experienced back then.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Absolutely! That's the whole point. We know what we can do to protect others, and ourselves, but some people refuse to do what is best for others because it infringes on what they think of as their personal freedom. It is the ultimate of egocentricity.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Covid had a 99% survival rate without any medical intervention. They’re not the same which is why it was dumb of AG to compare the two.

Deaths year over year have not increased outside of expected annual levels.

The selfish part is expecting everyone to live a certain way that you feel is best. If your afraid of it stay inside.

My dad had it, my brother had it. I’ve seen it’s impacts with people I employ and in-fact lost a employee that caught it. It’s real, but you should take precautions that suit you and stop forcing others to live the way you feel best.

I’m pissed that so many have thrown freedom to the side and it’s destroyed people lives by shutting down the economy and churches... I had to lay-off 400 folks last year because of restricting business here in CA.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

And there you have it - the position of moral superiority. Those who disagree with you are morally inferior.

It's why I take issue with your stance, and not Rugby's. Rugby seems sincere and humble. I think people are more than willing to listen to him.

But, I admit I am biased because I have seen how you adopt the cheaper tactics that are utilized in our society today. To be more specific, when I first came to this site you tried to label me as a "racist" without any basis for that smear whatsoever.

You were not successful, at least in part because the members of this board are familiar with how you can be -- at your worst. That's not to say that you are totally without redeeming qualities, but I think you have to realize you can get carried away.

You made those allegations publicly, so I think a public apology is overdue. Admittedly that takes some courage, so we will see if you are up to that.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Closely matches my thoughts on the current situation. My last post on this issue.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Good video, matches my thoughts also. And agreed, lol, it’s best for me to let my commentary on this topic die now, or move elsewhere, and go back to Saints being the soup du jour.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

That was great and sums up my position on this insanity quite well. People should watch this and gain some perspective but would likely find a way to cast shame on all who think this way.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

I agree the reaction to COVID was largely overreach. I agree the economy was destroyed for political gain. I agree vulnerable people should be protected and use extreme caution (more so than 99% of others).

But the selfish part is knowing you're more likely to control something by wearing a mask yet still refuse to wear one in CONFINED, PUBLIC places.

Look, I'm pissed about everything you laid out and I feel our leadership is inept and corrupt. But I'm required to be out there to support my family. My wife is immunocompromised. We HAVE to take extreme caution while supporting our businesses, children and loved ones.

So, if not for you - maybe you'd be ok with doing it for us. At the very least, while you're around other people. Is that eroding your ability to be a free American?

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

That's a good video.

Do I think wearing a mask is going to prevent me from getting the virus? Not really, I don't think the science on that is clear at all.

Will I wear a mask when I enter into a public area such as a grocery store? Yes, simply because there may be a little old lady in there who watches CNN, is legitimately scared and I don't want to contribute to a bad experience for her.

But, they are not, for example, required at my gym and I don't wear one there.

More importantly, I think it is important to realize that we are living in a strange time when there are people who have bought into the idea that they need to go all "Karen" on everyone around them -- many of the same people who are itching to go off on someone for not wearing a mask are the same ones who want to destroy people for not adhering to the tenets of the Church of Woke.

We have to get through this hysteria as quickly as possible - and that means not taking any **** off of the woke.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Count me in that woke number. I am not afraid of being awaken to issues that truly need to be addressed. That is a good thing. You speak of it as something wrong.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Issues that need to be addressed? Sure, I'm down. As long as we can be real and talk about personal accountability.

The entirety of "woke culture"? Pass. Too many lunatics swimming in that pool.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Oh, I know you are in that number. In fact, I was thinking of you when I wrote that post.

You can pretend to be noble if you want, but I have seen first hand how you act. As I mentioned a couple of posts above, when I first came here you really had a good time running around accusing me of being a racist and, IIRC, even making some "cute" comment about me being in the Klan.

Did you believe that? I doubt it, you had no basis for that belief. But I think you believe in the power in making those those types of accusations. Plus, I was the new guy and you thought you could get away with it.

You can pretend it's brave, I think it is just the opposite.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Right! lol, the guy with an ethnic, pejorative slur in his forum tag is “woke”.

lol, oh the hypocrisy.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guido_(slang)

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Sorry, but I don't see Guido as an ethnic slur. That's been my nickname for almost 45 years. If you think it is that is a you problem. :D

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Show me where I was running around accusing you of being a racist. I'll assume you did a thorough search of the forums to find proof, but couldn't. I knew I hadn't, but I did the same search, nonetheless. Yes, I did make a single post asking if the KKK.com forums were all closed, but that of course was hyperbole.

What IS notable is that you show up before the season (after being kicked of that other site, SR) and mostly address BLM and other politically questionable issues. And here you are back at it again. Surprise!

As for being brave, I would be thrilled to sit with you personally and debate any of these subjects.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

This was about Morestead from earlier in thread.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Well, I will be glad to sit down with you. I already made that offer after you said you were definitely coming to the Crusin' the Coast. Unfortunately, you weren't able to make that trip.

I'll make you a deal -- if we ever have that sit down and you hear my views you want to look me in the eyes and call me a racist, the drinks are on me.

As far as getting the boot off of SR, quite frankly I am surprised it took as long as it did. I took issue with members saying things like people could not speak on a subject if they did not have the right skin color. I feel like we have to take a stand for free speech, and against such divisive nonsense, or our nation is going to be divided along lines of race, sex, sexual orientation and whatever else those who want to create chaos can manage. I also committed the sin of listing the names of minorities who had been killed in the "peaceful protests."

It's like I asked when you brought that up before - if I thought I had something to hide why would I use the same username here?

What you call "hyperbole," I call a baseless slur.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

First, I never said I was coming to whatever Cruzin' the Coast is. All I ever said was that the wife and I love cruising ... on ships. Although, we did enjoy four days on Route 66 in October from Springfield, Illinois to Catoosa, Oklahoma. And, I never called you a racist. That is a figment of your imagination. However, if I am sitting face to face with you and you do come across to me as one I will certainly let you know and gladly drink your drinks.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

You are the very definition of pretentious. You made a point of baselessly calling me a racist a couple of months ago as well. Your sanctimonious behavior is too much.

A few posters here have asked you to stop berating people, especially new posters like Flipx99 since we'd like new people to feel welcome here. This isn't that other site afterall.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Never mind, you aren't worth the effort.........

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

I am not going back to review posts - but you have admitted making some comment about me being in the Klan. At best you are splitting hairs.

And if you were to call me a racist to my face you would be the first.

I think people are generally more civil in person than they are online. I am curios, how frequently do you call someone a racist in person?

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

I don't see it as a racial slur and I doubt anyone here really does either.

However, your statement is a good example of why so many oppose the "Woke Culture" you claim to be in on.

Can we find someone on the planet who's offended by "guido"? Sure.

Do we then shame you, dig up your past, label you "racist", force Guido's Family Pizzeria down the street out of business and then have Merriam Webster omit the term from the dictionary?

No.

But that's the culture of today. It's not rooted in logic and it won't be stopped until people stand up to the mobs.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

I remember him calling you a racist. He can deny it all he likes, but I saw it.

Guido is a POS who likes to hide behind his ability to string together lengthy diatribes with a few big words and just enough abstract statements to confound the common idiot. His "logic" falls apart when he has to square off against someone with more than 2 brain cells. But, he is impressive in his ability to stubbornly refuse to admit when he's wrong. My suggestion: block him. He's not worth the time or effort. I blocked him months back and I have zero regrets.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

I remember it. He also called me a sexist and tried to get me banned last year because I said I didn’t like the way a female ref called a preseason game. I even prefaced the post saying it had nothing to do with her sex, just her performance.
Some do find the term Guido offensive but I couldn’t care less. What I find hilarious is the hypocrisy of someone who has a handle that some may find offensive continuously calling out others for being racist, sexist, or prejudice.

When he said “I don’t think guido is an ethnic slur” says it all. Racist people say things they don’t think is racist all the time.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

For Christ sakes ya'll. He is a character from Saturday night live. If you are offended by his avatar you need to stay from comedy in general or ya'll will spend a lot money on therapy. Relax.

Guido isn't racist. He has a unique sense of humor. I like the way his mind thinks and rationalizes situations. Could he work on his communication skills? Maye. But he is not a racist.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

They're pointing out the hypocrisy.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

No fingers being pointed. It’s just too bad that, like in our ever tearing apart society, we can’t have a friggin Saints site that doesn’t have threads devolve into attacks and fighting. I know I’m sounding Pollyanish, but can’t we all just get along ?

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Good point. Let's end it here. Love you Guido. I can still say "guido", right?

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

I can't remember calling anyone a racist in person or online. Nor did I make a comment about you being in the Klan. I did ask a slanted question in jest, however.

Oh, and I am equally as charming in person as I am online.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Yes, you can. I answer to it in public as readily as I do my own real name. Several coworkers simply called me "Guid", for short. I had the nickname well before there was such a thing as avatars or online anything. Father Sarducci was just the perfect choice some 30 years ago when I created my first.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

You recall incorrectly. You remember what you want to remember, not what actually exists.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

So, how 'bout them Saints? Will they lose a draft pick?

I'm sorry. Did I change the subject? :p

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Just to further demonstrate how we should not trust decisions from people because they "care more," UC Berkley recently banned outside exercise.

This caring decision will almost certainly increase the risk of Covid for students. Time spent outdoors in relative solitude and fresh air will now be spent indoors in closer proximity with others.

We know that being healthy helps lessen the effects, and probably lowers the risk of getting the disease. We also know that vitamin D is important in fighting off Covid.

Great job from the hysterical bunch.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

Yawn!

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

It's somewhat amusing when someone pretends that he is proud of his social awkwardness.

Re: Saints Facing More Discipline
 

:D

So says the person that gets banned from forums.

Hopefully, we only lose the sixth rounder we should get for Klein. Godhell will probably take a top pick though just so he sleeps better at night.
