Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

You can't see it in its true , original form on tv. Not politically correct nowadays.

Netlfix or Hulu? If it is Amazon Prime, well I don't have that.

 

[Orangeburst]

That's how I read it.

Sorry. Did not mean to imply that. I would not imagine that AU offered anything as he had to go to the SEC office in B'ham when all this came up. He was worried about losing any scholarship. Things were as dirty, or even dirtier back then than today IMO.

He must want it for something if he's asking for it. Did I miss a malaria outbreak in NY. Damn, they're having it rough. Malaria and the coronavirus.

He's responding to the requests/needs of the state's doctors and making sure they have the tools they're requesting in a pandemic. He's not making a personal pronouncement on its efficacy or what he personally would do.

Suppose you're a grocer and the flavor of the day is apple cider vinegar. It's moving like hot cakes because people think it helps with weight loss. Does it follow that the grocer also thinks it helps with weight loss because he orders more of it for his store?

LG and El get Pissed Off every day.

I’d probably be PO’d too, if I was a lawyer (allegedly) and had nothing better to do than hang out on VN.

 

[Weezer]

I haven't seen that movie.

Do you even Mel Brooks? WTH?

 

[McDad]

I haven't seen that movie.

 

[Orangeburst]

………….and that is the story of Charles Barkley.

I am not familiar with his story. Knowing the two schools, nothing would surprise me.

 

[volfanhill]

I haven't seen that movie.

Oh that’s a must see

Did he play before the 85 scholarship limit?

It actually used racism to makes fun of racists, but you might not appreciate the way it's done. It couldn't be made today.

LOL.

I want a whole day where you post nothing but analogies.

This was the 50's.

So you’re saying OBurst is Barkley’s kid?

Maybe it was Gnarls Barkley?

 

[GAVol]

I haven't seen that movie.

A situation which needs to be rectified.

 

[RavinDave]

Maybe it was Gnarls Barkley?

This one escapes me.

Trump spoke of himself and you heard a general endorsement. If your quote is accurate, that's what happened. No big deal. We've all been wrong once or twice.

He started with "I think people should," caught himself, and then phrased it as a "here's what I personally would do if it were me" type statement. Now when you're the president you know full well people will interpret statements about what you would do as advice about what they should do as well.

My Saban example shows clearly how we can obliquely phrase a statement to be about what "you" should do without ever mentioning "you" at all.

Zepplin only pawn in game of life.

I was asking where to find it, but you went all old man. I'll find it myself while you yell at cloud pops.

What is your point?

 

[1972 Grad]

What a sense of humor! I think I like Young Frankenstein equally as much. High Anxiety, History of the World, Men in Tights, etc. Loved them all.

Moar analogeeeeez.

@Weezer 's hidden assumption is that Cuomo must himself believe it's efficacious if he's ordering more of it for the state. That's simply not true. He can be deferring -- as he should be -- to the needs and requests of the medical experts on the front line, just like the grocer is simply responding to the demands of his customers.

 

[1972 Grad]

What is your point?

There has to be a point?

The analogies help by removing the point that's being made from a political context that could cloud judgment.
