Quote:Don't get me wrong, I see your point. I don't agree with it, but I can understand why you feel that it's similar. Just as you won't convince me, I will not convince you either. Between this and other threads, it's hard for me to remember who said what. Who's blaming cops and who's fighting the BLM cause. So, if you don't blame the police, then that is my mistake in lumping you in with those others who are.


To be quite honest, I'm tired of hearing about it on the news. Reading these threads lately has gotten a lot of users on this board, including myself, all heated up. Whether I chime in or not or wether others chime in or not. I've got family members that are in LE. So I take offense to some of the things I'm seeing On the news and reading on these threads. These topics are slowly dividing our country and dividing the MB as well. Obviously, the divide in the country is a much larger and more important issue than a silly MB. I bring up the MB because it got me thinking how we all came here and united together to discuss a football team we all are fans of. And I'm seeing in other unrelated threads the divide that these topics have caused. It's freaking ridiculous the tension that it's causing. One thing is certain, it needs to come to a stop. I know I'm tired of hearing about it. We've got terrorists killing around the world and in our country. It's a matter of time before we have another 9/11 type attack on our soil again. Not like it's any better if it were elsewhere. We've got probably the most important election in our country's history in a few months, and we can't even get along with ourselves??? While BLM is worried about an officer doing his job, ISIS is planning more and more attacks on us and everyone else. And they're eating it up that we as a nation can't even get along with ourselves.

I don't really disagree with you. There is a great divide and a microcosm of that exists on this board. Really though, it's always going to be that way especially when views are so drastically different from each other. It's ok to argue and disagree with each, I'd even argue that is one of the greatest things about America. That we can do that and no one can stop us. In the end we are all in this together and I think said form the extremists everyone knows and feels that way.


I also don't think you can't try to address what some see as minor problems just because larger ones exist. Problems don't go away just because greater ones exist. I mean it's not like civil rights wernt being talked about and the problem attempting to he addressed just because Nazis were wrecking the world and committing atrocities for example. We are a great nation and we can do great things. No reason we can't address multiple issues at once.
