What are the players protesting now? Have you thought about it? Do you know? Not that it matters, but i think it is spelled 'Kaepernick.' It seems as if he was blazing a trail for those to follow.

No, I don't think that's it. That's too simple. It's is more complicated. And it isn't just Trump.

As I said. it's not exactly clear to me what the NFL players are protesting and I would guess that is because they are not all quite sure themselves. But I do think if the President was to resign or be impeached and convicted, these protests would stop. I believe his nationalism -- which like...

For me, this is an incredibly easy question to answer because I'll very likely be dead in ten years. Google and Amazon.

I would say neither. These are personal decisions that each of them made, and possibly reqreted later, or later recognized they had made the right decision for the time. Let's give then the same respect that we give everyone else for their accomplishments and contributions to our society...

I agree. There is something going on here that we ought to be very concerned about. Peaceful demonstration, regardless of whether we agree with the demonstrators or not, is one thing. Demonstrations that morph into violence are something else entirely.

I'm interested in discussing the right of people to peacefully protest what they believe are injustices or wrong policies of their government. I am not interested, at the moment anyway, in the other topics and anecdotes you've brought up, but perhaps others here will be.

"You still have that right, I hope, to protest NFL players who are protesting. Maybe armbands as suggested by gwb-trading. How about pink armbands?"

I'm not seen evidence for this statement , so I wouldn't be qualified to comment further on this or several of your other, what seem to me to be, rather wild and unfounded statements. The President has made racist statements. And some consider him a racist. I myself am convinced from his...

You were quoting jem, not me. I don't know how you got my name associated with jem's post. But it doesn't matter. You need to respond to jem.

You live in California? This is a practice that the Blues were successfully sued for by the AGs in many States. (Illinois was one) But I don't know that the settlement forbade them from doing the same thing again. What they do is tell you that your bill was the undiscounted amount and base...

You are talking in circles: The majority of service men and women think that protesting football players are being disrespectful of them, therefore they are being disrespectful. I disagree with you. And I say this kind of circular reasoning is wrong. And I have made another point as well...

Not quite. My grade school was a beautiful 19th Century yellow brick building with gigantic windows and high ceilings. I remember that as a grade school kid the structure seemed absolutely enormous to me. The classrooms were heated with radiators. It was replaced with a modern structure in...

I didn't miss these basic lessens at all. I learned, eventually, what those gestures stood for! There is no logical connection that can be made between those kneeling football players and a disrespect for military personnel; there is only illogic! As Americans we have a duty to call attention...

I think they should continue as they are. And for the same reason I thought those who were stitching American flags to the seat of their britches in 1971 should continue. For an explanation, please take a look at my response to Wallet above.

That is the ideal. A dialog. Always preferable whenever possible. In reality we have carried on a dialog on racism for many years, and even some progress has resulted! In the present situation, however, there is an underlying problem far more dangerous than racism. The real problem is the...

I lived through the Vietnam War, and I have no problem assuring you that the single most important thing those young men on football teems can do with their lives right now is get out on that field and kneel during the national anthem. That's far more important to the nations future than any...

As I said, "Why discuss Healthcare..."
