Yet what bothers you the most is that Trump commented on it (thereby drawing MUCH more attention to their cause than they would have received without his comment). You can disagree with me all you want but what I just stated above is fact. You may not like it, but it's a fact none the less. Now scurry about in some other thread in hopes of validating some ignorant notion you made up in your head, you clearly cant find your ass with both hands in this one.(10-17-2017, 02:51 PM)Blindgreed1 Wrote:(10-17-2017, 02:36 PM)HairOfTheDog Wrote:I said contrived.

Yeah Gunnar, you labeling my opinion false or artificial due to my race, age, and gender isn't surprising and proves the point: you don't listen or consider what other people think unless you agree with them.
I won't blame your shortcoming on the fact that you're a white middle-aged man though -- I think it's more specific to you as an individual.
Maybe you should look up words before you use them Gunnar.
contrived = created or arranged in a way that seems artificial and unrealistic
synonyms: forced, strained, studied, artificial, affected, put-on, phony, pretended, false, feigned, fake, manufactured, unnatural...
As I said, I understand your opinion on taking a knee, I just don't with agree your rationale.
