It seems we all agree on the set of facts here - the two-party system basically maintains the status quo. Whoever is elected from whichever party, he (or she) ain't gonna change much even if he/she wanted to, and probably would not in his/her heart even want to.

What we don't agree about is whether that is a good thing or a bad thing.

What I really cannot understand is how any of you - anybody in their right mind at all - could not be damn near ecstatically happy with life the way we have it now in this country. One or more of you negative nancys please explain that.

As for me, I have over sixty years experience to draw from, and I am firmly convinced that we have far more enjoyable things in our lives than ever before, and plenty of freedom to do that enjoying. Really, what else is there? If you guys want to CHANGE away from what we have, what in the hell do you want to change to?

hahahaha Things stay pretty damn civil in here when you know who stays away.

I even know a few gays who are very happy with the WONDERFULNESS of life here. Nobody that is both gay and Latino, but whatever. If your guy ain't happy here, then what the hell is he doing here instead of going back to beautiful Guatemala? Could it be that they torture and/or kill gays there?

Still waiting for you change-aholics to say what you would like to change life in America TO.

"I know you are, but what am I?" would be the "immortal" words you're looking for, texas.

As far as what we "changeaholics" are looking for is concerned, you don't really pay attention to what anybody says on here, do you?

I'm pretty sure the '14 and '16 elections will reflect that.

Several of you guys have spoken the "tear it down" words without stating what you would replace it with.

I don't know who if any of ya'all have been anywhere else in the world, but I have to ask, WHERE do you see anything remotely close to the GREAT life we all have here - by basically any standard you want to judge it by? Freedom, Security from harm, Comfort and Enjoyment? So what if some/most politicians are doing whatever. If in fact that even is the case, how exactly does it affect your daily life? It sure as hell doesn't affect mine.

So I ask any of you guys - again - specifically WHAT would you want to change, and what would you want to change it to?

One more thing regarding those politicians of both parties you guys hate so much: One side appreciates how great things are and doesn't want the change you seem to crave; The other side at least knows the political reality - that people with good sense are the solid majority, and if they do anything very significant toward that change, they will get their asses kicked electorally.

How Gunny and Dumbass think they are good anything is beyond comprehension. Their version of "good American" is to be a formal military man so you can openly be a hateful bigot and think people need to lick your boots. Thanks for your service guys, but isn't Veterans Day enough - or do we all need to praise you on a daily basis. For the love of God guys, get your conceit in check.

I know it gave you a great life and all, but the wars we have fought post WWII have been nothing but bull shit politician's wars.

You're sick, Dakota - get help!

To the powers that be: here's another example of a nice civil normal thread - two sides not in agreement, but going back and forth in a decent normal civil way - then this loser comes along to spoil things, spewing his usual hate.

Fan Shout

packerfanoutwest (6h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (6h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (6h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (6h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (7h) : Who? What?

beast (16h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21h) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
