You could put your mod hat on and split it off.

So a few scattered tribes of Indians had exclusive rights to the entire continent? How much sense does this make?

Now that's a stretch. Even the original inhabitants are thought to have come over on an ice bride to "steal" the country. Do you know who all was involved in "discovering" America? The Italians, Spanish, Vikings, Africans, etc. Even as Europeans began to settle America, there was plenty of room for everyone had they been able to get along. As for slavery...it wasn't just white people involved in it. The Africans sold their own out to the slave traders. Of course, none of that makes it right, but there was blame to go around. I'm not revising history, I'm telling the true version of it

I've never stole a country. Have you? I wasn't comparing this directly to Roseanne's statement, just pointing out that it's also wrong and she will likely get a pass for it.

That's kinda racist.

Well OK. But I betcha Wanda Sykes will continue to work. So much for fair.

Should this comedian get the kind of punishment Roseanne did?

I never cared for her and the National Anthem debacle sealed it for me. I'm certainly not defending her. Just saying that some other celebrities have said as bad or worse and gotten a pass on it because they are liberals.

True, and we shouldn't tolerate racism. But we seem to tolerate a lot of other things that are just as bad.

I've never cared for Barr; always thought she was nasty and foul mouthed. And though I haven't found the actual tweet, it sounds like it was over the line. But yes, there's a double standard. It shouldn't matter whether the show is a comedy or a talk show,

You guys do realize that gas prices typically go up around holidays? That could explain part of the increase too.

Reality is...no president has very much direct control over oil prices. They can have some temporary influence such as releasing the strategic oil reserves in emergency situation, and their energy policies can affect long-term prices. That's about it. It's all about supply and demand and speculation. In other words...market forces. Oil suppliers can manipulate that by reducing or increasing their production, but again that's usually a temporary thing. The reason prices are rising a bit right now is because speculators see potential for trouble in oil producing countries and they use it as an

You're still playing the race card. You see, pubby....I didn't see the young man as black or white, just a young man headed for trouble. Your inner racist just came out. Not that I'm surprised.

I commented on purpose to see how long it would take you to ply the race card. You're nothing if not consistent.

Did I say prison? Nope. I was referring to local jail. If the guy doesn't experience some tough love now, he might be headed for a bad life. Liberals don't get this because they don't understand human nature.

Let him spend some time in the klink so he'll learn a lesson. It might save his life.

Thanks for making my point

Well, pubby, I've pretty much decided to play as ugly as you and your minions do. I tried taking the high road for awhile...instead of responding to a personal attack I'd report the post and see if the mods would handle it. FOr the most part, they did little or nothing and even defended your minions at times. So I gave up on trying to play nice. So it's back to "When in Rome". As I've said before; if you want your forum to be a kinder, gentler place, then lead by example. The tone of this forum is what YOU made it.

You're a serious idiot!

Amazing what can be accomplished when we have leaders who aren't wusses

I totally agree! I didn't vote for anyone still in the governor's race. Hill was my choice.

And the United States will crank the fracking back up if needed and flood the market with oil, sending prices back down. All you're seeing is oil speculation, which was the worst thing ever to happen to us as oil is concerned. Or you could just call it market manipulation. Life will go on.

I wonder if she's just not stirring this up to try and take the focus off her ethics violations? I'm old too.

Annnnd, here we go Stacy Abrams calls for removal of Stone Mountain carving https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/dekalb-county/governor-candidate-calls-for-removal-of-confederate-carving-at-stone-mountain/592409692
