[you] makes every thread about him and it's getting really old

This clearly is true and I thank you for holding me accountable for the narcissism.

[you] is the biggest trump supporter on this board so I'm not surprised in the least

Going too far now.

Man [you] really can’t handle this thread

Shocked to be referenced at all!

(This is not a Coffeyville person, but I didn't have anywhere else to put this.)

I have a Facebook friends who refers to himself in the first person plural (We, Our) in his posts. Weird.

Did you just refer to him/them in third person plural?

There's not a person posting in this thread who didn't know how this would eventually be "resolved."

Is Cuonzo worth this?

Hoops is their fast-track option.  Football's not going anywhere at MO.

I was hoping this was a thread about little lies we have told people.  :buh-bye:

Is this one of yours?

They're priced from $2 on Vivid.  Half the price of the lowest Vivid seat for last night's Iowa State game.  The current state of the men's program is . . . sad . . .

The only thing we should be afraid of is being afraid of things that we shouldn't be afraid of.

FDR's first draft.

Vindication!    :flush:  :bang:

Also, great job NFL for deciding a bullshit procedural penalty should be assessed the same amount of penalty yards as a facemask or a horsecollar tackle or a helmet to helmet collision.

Just fortunate there was no disqualification!

Baylor had a free bucket out of every timeout.

Yeah, nearly every time it was just ISO a guard and drive it. We had no answer, our perimeter defense was just bad all around.

Yes, this was particularly infuriating.

67
Wade was tentative against a good D.

Baylor had a free bucket out of every timeout.

Rebounding on both ends.

No urgency at any time during the game.

yep, doughboy better come correct this week

Faithless elector?

if kstate hadn't have announced it, no one would have noticed either the suspension or the departure.

Sadly, this is accurate.

Yeah, you added the political/geopolitical interest that brings me much closer to agreeing with you. We have never ever ever made a humanitarian decision based solely or even mostly based on economics. I actually the scale of the atrocities being committed matters a lot as well. The rest of the world had the luxury the last couple of years of hiding behind the political complexities  of not getting involved in the humanitarian efforts but that's becoming much harder to do. You can certainly point to other atrocities around the world that we have ignored and you can make the claim that economics are the motivation not to get involved but I'm not that cynical. There are several issues in Africa you can point to that we didn't get involved in but I think that's more about the Somalian failure than anything else.

Thanks for the response.  I suppose I'm a bit more cynical, especially regarding the situations in Africa which you raised.

We tend to pick and choose when to be humanitarian and the decision-point is usually an economic one.   :th_twocents:

Historical precedent does not support this.

How has the U.S. provided real humanitarian aid in an equitable way even in the last 100 years?  How many humanitarian crises exist and have existed that are simply outside of our frame of reference because there is little or no economic interest in the people/country experiencing crisis?  I would add, political expedience and motivation are part and parcel of the economic interests.  How does the U.S. choose whom to provide with aid? 

I would like to hear your ideas as to how we haven't historically chosen when to be humanitarian based on economic interests (and I know I'm late adding political/geopolitical interests).  I'm asking seriously because I can learn in the process.  Maybe it's cynical of me but I think the U.S. government is most bipartisan when it comes to provision of aid.  We tend not to do it unless it benefits us in some discernable way, short- or long-term.  Social Exchange Theory at its best.  And I believe this is not unique to the U.S.

Kansas State Football / Re: theories on our second half struggles?
« on: November 07, 2016, 12:22:37 PM »
Pass reads second-level and back are either wrong or late consistently.  This is not limited to the second half but offenses exploit this over the course of the game.
