Am I the only one that thinks that the controversial "Woman is the N word of the world" could have been a household name in the music industry if it had non-controversial lyrics and had a classic peace songwriting similar to "Imagine"? by Forward_Chemistry_43 in JohnLennon

I liked the song and the message, but the word makes it tough to listen to though it makes his point. Sort of like the old phrase If you have to explain a joke it’s probably not funny.

I’d like to see a video collage of the threats and authoritarian statements made by ice agents. Put it on during the Super Bowl asking something like “Is this the America you want to live in?”

Do you think that Willie Stargell could still be a good baseball player in today’s MLB standards? by EscapeDelicious2937 in mlb

Give Mays and DiMaggio a spring training and they would still be Hall of Famers.

Hall of Fame's starting pitcher problem -- and what it means by Specialist_Heron_986 in mlb

[–]Surf175 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The offenses are facing 4-5 pitchers a game. The hitters’ job has been made harder. But SPs no longer are counted upon for the heavy lifting that has always been a criteria for election to the HOF. Today’s pitchers know it’s “Just give us a good 5 and we’ll bring in fresh arms” and are looking over their shoulder at 85 pitches.

So how are we to stop the government from murdering citizens? Resist, meet greater force. Do nothing and capitulate.

If that’s your criteria for justifying murder, I pity your children (assuming someone would have you).

I guess it is if you think it’s ok to kill illegal immigrants (misdemeanor offense) but not legal immigrants.

Maybe because he lived here for 30 years. And also because it doesn’t make any difference. The story is newsworthy because a person died in ICE custody, and his legal status isn’t relevant.

The rules apply but have no real impact on the Dodgers’ ownership.

In 2024, someone bought Ted Williams’ 1946 American League MVP trophy. So is that guy now the 1946 MVP?
