Do you at least tell the cashiers why you break 20$ sometimes?
No I don't tell the cashier's why unless they ask which happened twice and I did explain briefly and they looked at me all baffled.. And you have to be paying in $50s or $100s to get $20 change, so doesn't happen often. Use plastic card all the time now anyway. I pretty much don't worry about it anymore. So you are correct I was wasting my time with that. I'm a weak protester I guess, I do/did it for my friends and the genocide that Andrew Jackson presided over.. I've answered your questions, now you answer mine. What public protests have you engaged in to spearhead change that resulted in big change? Bumper sticker politics? Do you wear a t-shirt that says something on it? What what tell me what you do so I can learn from the best. It's funny, you started off today by saying it was the silliest most ineffective protest you could think of. Then I told you to take it up with the Native Americans who do that. And then you spin it back about my inabilities. I'm wasting my time with this. This Bud's for you. https://youtu.be/-c-pm_6kvyU
what you are not understanding is no one is judging anyone for not protesting. we're simply stating that you didn't protest when you claimed you did. so whether pj soul or any of us disagreeing with you have ever protested or not is irrelevant. no one is judging those that don't protest. just stating our opinion that your protest (which you admitted not long ago wasn't actually a protest, so not sure why you are still harping on this) isn't a protest since it won't affect change.
stop internalizing everything. sheesh.

It’s essentially how trump got elected. A general statement of “I’m not racist but how much do minorities want?” Captures a lot of trump voters. The whites a victims myth.
The tide is turning. According to a recent survey, now slightly more Americans believe that the players are doing the right thing by protesting during the anthem, and that the organizations should not force them to stand
she's as stupid as they come. I've said it before and I'll say it again: if she didn't have a pretty face, she'd be nowhere on tv. she's pretty and courts controversy, exactly what that idiot network likes.

There seems to be a misunderstanding as to who "made it political." Was it the players, by kneeling or the league (and almost all leagues) by trotting this song out for every game in the first place? I'll go with the latter. If you're going to do that, then you have the choice of forcing patriotism or seeing people express themselves to the displeasure of snowflakes.

I think there is a huge misunderstanding on the part of a lot of people as to what standing for the National Anthem/Flag is for. Of course you don't have to if you don't want to. Nobody standing traditionally for the national anthem is standing in support of police brutality, or the mistreatment of any people. Standing is to honor the military men and women, past & present. To honor and remember those who gave all, sacrificed everything, those who lost limbs and or were paralyzed fighting for this country. Their goal was to pass down a better place for their children and grandchildren. Is America perfect? No far from it. It's an experiment and a work in progress. But most people's dislike for the United States I believe is misguided. Unfortunately I believe that the United States of America is irrevocably Divided. I believe that there are two entirely different Americans/Americas existing today. Those who value small government, Freedom, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happyness. And those who cherish Big government, and want the government to control & provide in every aspect of Our Lives. Everything from small things to big things. From how much water your toilet can hold/flush, to limitless free stuff,, redistribution of wealth. Those who love this country as founded, and those who despise this country.

If you honestly believe these statements then you are the reason for the divide in this country.
