Not enough spots. Salary cap is going to be an issue soon. Buchnevich is going to want a lot of money and I don’t think they can pay him.
Haha Is that really what you dipshits think? OK with fascism and don't think that black lives matter? Such a sorry existence...tortured lives! Well, at least thanks to forward thinking progressives you two can get married!
I’m all about balance Grevy - not destroying shit like Antifa and BLM . I also don’t like The Proud Boys or far righties either. I don’t like these people giving hormones to 3 year olds and trying to pick their gender identity. I’m smack in the middle. That’s my opinion of you don’t like it idk what to tell you but I’m going to stick to hockey here. Tortured existence? Only when it comes to the Rangers disappointing me my friend.
I'm sure if Gorton and JD do something at the deadline we don't like and we critique it, we will be told we aren't Rangers fans and are either a racist or terrorist. LOL. I believe TDA was labeled that because of one incident when he was younger and the fact he liked Trump. You know, the same guy that Gorton still hasn't traded.
I would like to go back to why a person, who we call Chuck, called Dump a racist? I am really trying to understand that. I have been a member of this board for a while, and I understand that Dump's cursing could be annoying, but again why is he racist? Not once I heard Dump write anything racist. Are we calling people racist now if we don't like what they are saying? Does "racism" mean something else these days?
Not getting into any of the nonsense, but Grey called him a racist not me (again not Chuck, but I assume you are speaking of me). He is ignorant IMO because of how he treats people, the words he uses, and the names he calls people, but whether he is racist or not, I have no clue. This will be my last post on the topic, as I come here to talk hockey, not world issues. Thanks.
Liberal 2009. Don't waste any time on it. This is America 2021. I have him on ignore 2009. This is essentially the country we live in. It will get worse before it gets better. The Chuck's of the world have made our country an embarrassment as we are becoming the laughing stock of the world. I never put too much into other countries making fun of Americans as it used to be a lot of jealousy. Now, they are correct with a lot of their criticism. Like I said in previous posts 2009. Liberals want a communist, dictatorship America. Agree with how we think and what we do or you are a criminal. Thus why eventually this country will have another civil war. Only this time it won't be about race. It will be about democracy.
Not Chuck, Fair enough! But you have to stop your dopey responses to whatever we post about Quinn or anything that you might disagree on. You do sound like a leftist who pushes a narrative at any cost. I don't curse in my posts, and I don't use vulgar language as you like to say, but I do criticize Quinn and I don't want you calling me out every time I post something that doesn't fit your thinking. You sound very intolerant which is what leftists and liberals are all about nowadays, or I guess they were always intolerant since tolerance is a trait that people in the center and on the right possess. Personally, I am in the center also, but I think we have to stop this nonsense and be more tolerant of each other.
I agree with you dump. We are on a scary path in the US and unfortunately, beloved New York is going downhill. I have tolerated Not Chuck for a bit here, but it has gotten to a point where I felt the need to fight back a little. I experienced Communism, Socialism, and dictatorship first hand being born in the USSR. I came to the US 30 years ago and I absolutely love our country. Becoming a US citizen was one of the happiest days in my life. It is scary when I see similar tactics and language that was used in USSR back in the 70s and 80s to today in the US.
I am the one calling dump a racist. He has had plenty of posts on the Rangers board referring to black NBA and NFL players as thugs and other dog-whistle terms to convince me. We can leave politics out of it here. This is after all a hockey message board.
Interesting you said that 2009. I talked to my Russian friend a couple of days ago for the first time in a while. He left Russia 30 years ago. He said that this country is starting to remind him of Russia right before he left to come here. Like you, he loves this country and was jumping for joy to come here. Now, if that doesn't scare the crap out of you as an American I don't know what will. When people who left countries to escape Communism are starting to tell to people who were born here that this country is becoming like the country they left.
Yeah, absolutely agree. I experienced the end of Socialism during the 80s and early 90s, and now I am afraid we are experiencing the beginning of Socialism here in the US. Unfortunately, I know how it ends. But similarities are scary, we were afraid to speak our opinions back then, and now we experience a similar situation here. That's why I was triggered by Not Chuck's comments about my opinion on Quinn. I like this board and enjoy reading everyone's posts, even Not Chuck's sometimes.
Being afraid to speak your opinion is not the same as not being allowed to speak your opinion. You are free to say most anything you want but, you also understand that not everyone is going to agree with you and sometimes speech has consequences. Thats called having a healthy society. However, I am interested in the similarities you see between the USSR circa 1980s to what is happening in the US recently/today.
The other sad part 2009 is much like communist countries, teachers are teaching the youth total nonsense about politics. Educators foolishly believe the democrats will help them. Total nonsense. The teaching profession has gone to crap and for the most part it was under the Obama administration. As somebody who was in that profession for a while, if you are a republican or are at least somewhat in the center, you are spit on by the majority of teachers wherever you work if you believe anything republican. Essentially teachers when they are allowed will teach the youth that the government will take care of them and the rich are evil. Bunch of horseshit. The only one you can rely to take of you is yourself. The wealthy are the people that create jobs. Not people who are struggling for money. College professors are the worst. They go out of their way to brainwash the kids. In the lower grades you are strongly discouraged from talking politics. If you do, it's usually a recipe to get in trouble. In college, those scumbags are given freedom to brainwash their students. So even though young people should be smarter on what is going on in this country with politics, to some extent they aren't to blame. They are being taught the wrong things by ignorant college professors who have no idea how a country should be run. I worked with a guy who said if you give me 10 minutes I will make you a democrat. I told him, no, you won't because I'm not stupid enough to get brainwashed like 50% of this country that has no problem with the government taking money out of my check and giving it to people who have no desire to work. He didn't like that. LOL.
Yup, college is a fucking disaster. Having an 8 and 5 year old worries me what kind of crap they will be taught by the time they get to college. Columbia Univ is having multile graduation ceremonies based on race, for example, and it's only going to get worse.
Yup, that is horrible the crap that is happening with kids. Read an article about a divorced dad who can't stop the mother from assisting their teenage child transition gender. May have gone to jail, i believe. If you go on FB and look the gender option in your profile, it'll have "male", "female", "custom" as options. Disgraceful.
Just waiting for a couple of investments to pop. Then I'm out of this country which I loved but fully admit has become a shithole because of liberal whackos who want a communist country. I can get a t.v. package and watch the Rangers from another country. I figure the way things are going now, the crime rate will be up 20 to 25% nationally in about 4 years. No interest in staying here and dealing with that.
Grey, you asked what are the similarities between Soviet Russia, or perhaps today's Russia and the US in 2021. We no longer can speak freely in the US without facing some sort of consequence, and I don't mean saying something controversial. One can get canceled just for admitting that he/she voted for Trump. The difference is that you don't get arrested here, but you can get canceled. Yes, I am not a celebrity, so it is not like I will lose any endorsements, however, regular people can get canceled in this environment as well. It all depends on where you work and who your friends are. I don't post anything political on social media because you have no idea who will be searching through it in 10 years and then cancel us in retaliation for today's words. What we say today may not be "proper" in 10 years from now. I am not sure how this is a healthy society. Another similarity is hypocrisy. In Russia, even as a child, I was able to pick up on hypocrisy, and nothing made sense. When I first came to the US it was refreshing how things just made sense, it used to be very logical. Today, things make sense less and less. And I agree with dump and 31 in regards to kids. I don't care that much about my freedom, as much as kids. They are being brainwashed, similar to how we were brainwashed as kids in Russia. Kids have to go to college, but how to avoid the brainwashing there is a puzzle at the moment.
