Not to mention air pollution and climate change and it being a total waste of recourses.

If you cared about that you wouldn't make the thing in the first place...

Depends wooden furniture stores carbon dioxide. You can chop wood sustainable as long as you replant what your chop (and dintended chop wood in naural resetvates). But why would I want a wooden cross when I can have a wooden table instead.

 

Besides everything that mankind produces is bad for the environment in a way. But to buy something with the intention of burning it is kind a extra bad for the environment. Especially if the wood contains paint, which is pure toxic when burned.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

I love the spin and twisting of words the news does with Trumps words. Making it seem he solely attacking African American athletes. Of course that is not the case.

Well, when a vast majority (if not all) of the athetles doing this are black, the question needs to be asked. The man has a history of being a bit of a dick to minorities, AT LEAST in his rhetoric. 

This whole issue is fucking stupid regardless, i don't know why we let it blow out of proportion. There are bigger issues in this country than silent and peaceful protest during the national anthem.

I really wish Dems could get over their butt hurt, and stop letting Trump troll them. It was funny at first, but now the constant flow of tears in annoying.

I'm pretty sure it's Trump and the right getting butthurt over people kneeling

I am intolerant of intolerance, and disrespectful of disrespect. You might say that's hypocritical, but it's a fight worth fighting. Other than that, I try to be tolerant and respectful.

Luckily the flag isn't a person, so disrespecting the flag isn't actually possible.

Some people (like Judge Alex and Paul Joseph Watson) are trying to argue that the fact players are allowed to protest the national anthem is a reason why they shouldn't. It would be like saying the fact Americans are allowed to criticize their government is a reason they shouldn't. Judge Alex said that if a player in Cuba protested the Cuban anthem he would be beaten to a senseless pulp.

Assuming those people are right wingers... perhaps somebody should make the argument to them that the fact they're allowed to own guns is proof that they shouldn't.

Doubt that would get them to give up their guns though

Wait... you've never seen Paul Joseph Watson?

Have fun finding out that modern art is all a  result of democratic socialist nationalist brainwashers who are looking to make america communist !!!!

Yep they're certainly right wing. It would also be like saying that people having the right to vote is a reason why people shouldn't vote!



Would it be different if the players walked over a Rainbow flag on the way to the field? Oh, definitely. A flag is NOT just a piece of cloth with colors on it...



I really don't care, but if ESPN did not constantly flood the front news articles about it people wouldn't have cared. Similar to the Tebow issue. This kneeling thing is over a year old at least now right? I think no one cared, but EPSN made normies care and take sides. This is one of many reasons I stopped following them, although I have almost no interest in sports. I could not care less about my Philadelphia sports teams. I do not take athletes opinions seriously since most of them are proven to be irresponsible. I also just don't like sports. To me I was interested in hunting and military at a young age, not men in spandex chasing  a ball. 

For me this was somewhat like Hollywood going against Trump. I already look down upon them so it's hard to be offended.
