Unfortunately it has always been that time

Yep. Unfortunately, there are always going to be idiots who hate people for something as stupid as skin color, religion, ethnicity, etc.

 

[trojanfan12]

You said he unfairly gets criticized for stuff others don't. That's because he does shit others don't.

I do agree that Trump is a different President than we've ever had and that does mean that some of the criticism that he receives is going to be different than we'ver ever seen.

For example, Trump gets criticized for stuff he says on Twitter. I can't remember a President even having a Twitter account before Trump. Certainly not one that he was very active on.

However, and @Heatles can correct me if I'm wrong, I think his point was that he does also get criticized for things that past Presidents would not have.

For example, if Obama were President and had instituted the same travel ban that Trump did, at the same time he did...do you think he would have been called a racist?

Or Hillary, if she were President?

RuPaul and Neil Patrick Harris on a date at a Liza Minelli concert

Add riding a Unicorn to the concert and it would be your best rainbow emoji substitute yet.

I will say this though, I'm glad that this board can be used to communicate - I may not always agree with guys like @tlance @Wamu @TurnUpTheHeat and @msgkings322 . But I'm glad we can have conversations that may sometimes get heated, but then starting joking with one another.

I'm just glad that all of us can agree that I'm right all of the time.

We're all a little older, not a bunch of internet kids

Yeah, it's also the only area where we bounce back better than kids. lol

I haven't heard anyone here in CO. blame N.Y. for anything. And anyone doing that is an idiot. Wasn't the virus first dected in Washington state?

I think so.

The Eastern part of the country can blame New York.

The Western part can blame Washington.

you all need to blame the idiots not listening to instructions

Not really. It was eventually going to spread. Blaming 2 out of the 50 states is just silly.

Something tells me if random states in the middle of the country tested more often then the numbers in those states will be much higher. Never going to get any idea of your true Corona cases if you're barely testing anyone

Those idiots are few and far between. The vast majority of people are taking precautions that are appropriate for their situation.

The few random pictures of morons that are out there do not represent what people are actually doing.

This is true. The streets are empty

First of all, I was joking.

Second, because we know that some people never exhibit symptoms or have mild symptoms, we're never going to know how many people were infected.

While I agree that the number would likely go up in the middle of the country, I doubt it would be a very significant increase.

Except for a few larger cities like Chicago and Detroit, where people can be stacked on top of each other, the virus isn't likely to spread nearly as quickly in the middle of the country because people are more spread out.

Also, there is more testing being done than it is being reported. I just found out that my area has at least 1 or 2 drive through testing sites. Had no idea until literally this morning.

 

[trojanfan12]

Yeah, I've been trying to limit my trips out to no more than 1 a day and less than 1 if I can.

When I do go out, I don't see nearly as many people and it's not like there are usually a lot of people anyway. It can be kind of eery. lol

True, but even if you don't test anyone, if you have a corona problem it will show up in the hospitals and death tallies. CA isn't testing as much as NY but they have FAR less deaths. So clearly it simply isn't as prevalent here (for now).

it is so quiet here that public transportation is almost on a weekend schedule during the week

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Not surprised

 

[msgkings322]

Same here. I'm enjoying the weirdness of living in a busy city (SF) with almost no one moving around outside. It's like, anyone who wished for the traffic and crowd problems to go away got their wish. I wouldn't want it to be like this forever, but for a few weeks I'm kind of into it.

How many aren’t listening because of what they've previously heard?

Has there been a better finals than Heat/Spurs 2013 this century? What a fucking series. All the games were competitive except 1 and 5.
Game 6 gets talked about the most but game 7 was damn good. Big shot after big shot.

My top 5 finals of this century is the following.

Heat vs Spurs 2013
Cavs vs Warriors 2016
Heat vs Mavs 2006
Spurs vs Pistons 2005
Lakers/Celtics 2010 or Heat/Mavs 2011

The Florida governor should be more concerned about what's going on at his beaches instead of new yorkers who may be coming to Florida.

That has got to be a weird experience. I've known people who came out here from New York and couldn't sleep because it was too quiet. lol
