Clearly, some have not, some refuse to, and some may even be incapable of doing so. In any large population there is a broad range in the amount of intelligence that humans possess. Every individual does not have the same ability, nor desire to learn.
J - It means he has lost over 12% of the prospective voter support since a few months ago.
Personally, I won't fully celebrate until Trump, the corrupt charlatan, is removed from office. Although, admittedly, I will celebrate more than a bit, when he is voted out of office in November. If not for the republican enablers, he would have been removed from office earlier this year.
It's better to learn from your spouse, to improve on one's weaknesses, than to become codependent. The "opposites" attract can be the spark that unites the relationship, but it should not be the ongoing aspect that keeps the relationship alive. Indeed, it can lead to the opposite of grown in that arena, as well as frustration and resentment in the other.
C - In doing research on the show, it seems that Norm's lines were scripted, not ad lib. The ad libbers were actually Cliff & Frazier. In fact, Cliff was a role created by the actor, John Ratzenberger, who originally auditioned for George (later re-named to Norm). Much like the writers of Mork & Mindy, who would allow time for Mork to "go off" (off script), the writers for Cheers did some of that for Cliff.
George was supposed to be Diane's first customer, who was only supposed to have a one word line "Beer !" That was the start of Norm. Norman was actually the character's middle name. His first name was Hillary (No, I am not making that up).
It was stated that Frazier was often given flat lines on purpose, to see how he would (successfully) ad lib. The show never used a laugh track. It was always filmed in front of a live audience. Although he never appeared on the show, Danny DeVito was married to Rhea Perlman (Carla) and often in that audience. Rhea's sister, Heide Perlman, was one of the show's writers. Lucille Ball was going to play Diane's mother, but she backed out fearing that she wouldn't be accepted in a role other than Lucy.
Cheers is the only show that ranked last and first in their history and Frazier holds the record (20 years) of playing the same character consecutively in a sitcom (adding Cheers & Frazier together).
S - that is NOT the interview of Drew Brees that inspired outrage. It was one AFTER George Floyd's death with Yahoo finance.
In particular, it was his opening sentence in response to a question regarding the anticipation of more kneeling when the NFL returns and his responsibility as a league leader.
"Well, I will never agree with anyone disrespecting the flag of our country."
I agree. But perhaps terms should be 2 year limits. Even that seems too long to endure corrupt and/or horrible 'leadership'. Enough with the lifetime salary & benefits too.
Interesting article S. Thanks for posting it. However, I think LJ is urging for a change in attitude, rather than it being shut down. Regardless, I like the concept where citizens of cities/regions become owners of sports teams. Also, having ex-players as CEOs. The Florida Marlins as an example of the latter. Or as in the case of the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA), the Cleveland Indians of Major League Baseball (MLB), and the Florida Panthers of the National Hockey League (NHL) being owned by the public. All 3 are publicly traded and thus, have to answer to stock holders.
S - that would be unwise for various reasons, including that they would be giving up the platform for their voice to be heard by the masses. Thus, it would be counterproductive.
Trump's former chief of staff, General John Kelly agrees with General Mattis marking the first time in US history that a sitting president's former chief of staff and secretary of state have both turned against the sitting president. With regard to this "so-called" president, they are not alone. Indeed, since Trump is officially the worst US president in history, it's not even surprising. America counts the days before he can be voted out of office.
CK's kneeling, while it started the protesting, is insignificant at this point. There are protests in just about every major city in the USA as well as less major ones. People have been shot, gassed, looted and killed. It is now WAY beyond where CK was. They are at the Lincoln Memorial;
You're missing part of the point M. A protest is supposed to start a buzz - talking about it. It shouldn't take place when people can easily ignore it, because they will be more likely to do so. You want it to be talked about. You want it 'in their face'. What is being done to blacks is extremely obnoxious. So, some obnoxiousness should be part of the protest to get people's attention and create a buzz. The bigger buzz, the better.
"Yeah, but it's not as obnoxious as being killed by police..etc...."
Most reasonable people are willing to back the oppressed. Hard headed idiots need more motivation. They have to actually fear, that they might lose something before they are willing to sit down and negotiate. That's where the NFL is now. Incredibly stupid people dig in and fight no matter what until it becomes clear, that they will lose something more significant than their dignity.
S - that drives my point home. He's bitter about being blackballed and I don't entirely blame him for feeling that way. He was blackballed for 2 years and in the 3rd year that tryout was scheduled.
k - I understand where you are coming from. However, the other methods were not working fast enough, as proven by the racial inequality, including disproportionate police brutality and imprisonment. I wish people would have paid attention and changed things without having to push the boundaries of what you and/or others (including myself) may or may not consider acceptable behavior. But, people were still being oppressed and that is FAR MORE UNACCEPTABLE. People are extremely frustrated with the situation. That is how revolutions arise, including the USA's. It's time for change ! Indeed, it's past due. "It's been a long time coming."
S - Yes, I'm 'sure' he's happy being blackballed by the NFL.
A - CK has been blackballed by the NFL for 2 years. He has not competed. So, it is doubtful, that he will get his job back. However, it is possible that someone will pick him up as a back-up QB. If so, it would be nice if it turns out to be SF.
m - your comments focus on a song. This discussion has to do with human rights. This discussion has to do with prejudice and police brutality. Your 'solution' does nothing to improve those situations. It is an insufficient 'solution'.
k - Drew Brees apologized twice that he didn't fully understand. Yet, no one put a knee on his neck. It simply took discussion from other athletes for him to finally rapidly see the light. What will it take fir you to see it ?
