Yeah…redblack was right about the effect of a very liberal neighborhood.

Still – Happy, do you care to call out even a single instance of ‘nonsense’? Or are you just a ‘me too’ echo?

+1. Anecdotal consensus is that Comcast is the lesser of 2 evils. Just get the Internet and do a Double Play hat gives you a phone line that you never enable – but it discounts Internet for a couple of years. That’s the deal I have.

Free couch!!! Come and get it!! Just mising the left cushion, but its on the corner of California SW and Walker SW….come get it before it rains!

So far as I know, you have just two choices: Comcast or Clink. You will find several threads on this site describing just how bad Century Link service has become. Comcast is the better choice. I recommend dropping the land line and opting for their cheapest version of broadband.

dobro, thanks for calling out the nonsense. There was definitely a lot of it —

I am a pianist and singer. I hope to perform, “Angel Flying too Close to the Ground” for my piano group Oct. 23rd. I’d like to find someone who can pick (improv) Willie style over my chords. I’m not looking for perfection, just someone good who wouldn’t mind practicing a couple times then performing with me for my group. If interested, please email me at csw2119@gmail.com

dobro, that piece of cheese isn’t even worth responding to.

I’m a little disappointed. Even though we rarely agree (i.e. I think you’re wrong) you normally present a cogent argument. This one is just you saying ‘nonsense’ over and over.

(And JTB – your test got through)

[dobro]

cool. let’s go back to the original post on the issue…

“The Star-Spangled Banner is one of a few symbols of the country. The bald eagle and the flag itself are others. They do not represent a specific administration or policy, but rather the country as a whole.”

Purely the opinion of the poster. There are no laws, decrees, or passages in the Constitution (or anywhere else) dictating how Americans must respond to a national anthem or that we even need one. We never voted on the song. It was made the national anthem by a congressional resolution on March 3, 1931. The resolution followed the presentation of a petition for, and a presentation of testimony against by musicians and singers who held that the song was too difficult to sing.

“So when a protest strikes against the anthem, it is against the country.”

This is nonsense.

“It’s the same as burning a flag, except there won’t be charges of arson. I doubt Kaepernick and others meant that, but it’s what they’re saying.”

More nonsense. Plus, the poster doesn’t seem to understand the protest has nothing to do with the anthem other than using its playing as an opportunity to focus attention on the issues that the protest IS actually about. It has no relationship to flag burning (which is also legal, BTW), and it’s not what Kaepernick and others are saying. Misrepresentation and misunderstanding on the part of the OP.

“Kaepernick’s decided he’s sufficiently upset about an issue to pitch a public fit about it. Fine, he should find himself a venue and say his piece.”

He did. He’s a highly paid entertainer that has a huge audience and if you want to make a statement and have an impact, a smart person will take that opportunity.

“But the anthem isn’t a venue available for the taking, and those who stand on a public stage and disregard it send a message quite different from the one they probably intended.”

More opinion with no basis in fact. The fact that this protest has inspired much discussion, pro and con, on the issues it is actually addressing means the message is getting thru. Not to people who think the protest is about the anthem, though.

any possibility of setting aside the wrangling over slights and indignation and get back to discussing the actual issue? There are very important developments taking place throughout the country in regard to the national anthem protests which I think are worth discussing more than determining who’s naughty and who’s nice. I’ve tried to post variations on this theme three times today without success, so perhaps I’m just not getting it and the cyber gods are letting me know. So I guess this serves as a test.

[redblack]

this is a dual answer for jan and the OP (since i’m not allowed to address him/her directly):

no worries. i might look like a softie on the surface, but i’m a strong advocate for tough love.

cheers.

Similar scenario by us yesterday afternoon. I was able to turn the young (20-ish) male away easily enough, but aspects of his pitch and presentation didn’t feel right> And I’ve heard of other encounters with these folks that were not resolved without anxiety or hostility. I wish I’d examined his vendor badge, which he seemed to have but was kind of tucked out of sight.

Perhaps you can donate them to the families that have been misplaced by the fire last night, I bet a stuffed animal would be loved by a child in the red cross shelter.

Looking for your recommendations for a primary care Doctor. Would like to know especially why you like them. Tired of going to urgent care when I need to have something looked at that Naturopath would not handle.

I’m in the Admiral area and we are looking at getting rid of our Comcast bundle (TV, Internet, landline) and just getting internet. Before I do this I wanted to check to see if there are any other carriers that have great internet in the area.

the OP thinks the WSB crowd goes nasty quickly? that’s pretty funny. this place is like a church compared to the comment sections on other sites. just read crosscut, FFS. then we get people like betty and captain dave dangling meat in the water.

situational awareness, as 935 said elsewhere: this is a neighborhood blog in a predominantly liberal neighborhood in an overwhelmingly liberal city. what do you expect?

oh, and what’s the rhetorical device where you only paint in broad strokes, never clearly define your opinion, then act like a forum moderator when conversation gets heated or when people commit passionately to a position that differs from yours?

this ain’t college debate club. it’s politics on the internet. wear a helmet, or sit down.

“if I bought something she’d put a sticker on my door telling the others to skip me.”

Creepy. For some reason, I immediately thought of the scene in the Heston “Ten Commandments” movie when blood was splashed on the doors to avert the plague…

[JKB]

There are more than one – mine was a pretty girl, late teens-ish. No yelling, same racket.

She actually said there were a lot of them, and if I bought something she’d put a sticker on my door telling the others to skip me.

Just had man (early to late twenties, medium height and build with baseball hat on backwards, glasses) ringing my doorbell and yelling in my window. Said he was “meeting all the neighbors” about some national leadership crap. Had a pamphlet or paper of some kind in his back pocket. Told him I work from home and was on a call so he left. Then my neighbor – a REAL one this time – pulled in their driveway and he stood in the street yelling same thing at them. Headed north up 36th towards Stevens.

If he’s legitimate, please don’t support these people in any form or fashion. If everyone shuts them out and doesn’t give money, time or interest they’ll stop it. If he’s not legit and up to nefarious purposes they need to know we are around, watching and not tolerant.

[JKB]

Just so we’re clear, my ‘pattern’ comments are motivated by this very exchange. The two I mentioned are broad points, in that I’ve seen the same thing elsewhere. The hostility and name-calling not so much – the WSB crowd descends into that a lot faster than others.
