    Oh check out the shit going on with the state flag.
    I do not get the flag outrage. The old flag wasn’t a flag. It was a seal on a piece of cloth. The new flag is clearly superior, even without a laser eyed loon.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

    Of course you dont get the outrage. You never do through your lens. And no its not superior. It sucks and isnt reflective of MN as a whole.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Yes, people in red track suits sweeping the sidewalk are rightfully upset.

    Another one of your posts that makes no sense.

    Why? Is that person in the middle of the old flag not wearing a red track suit and sweeping a sidewalk?

    Some teams need to change mascots when they move. WTF does Jazz have to do with Utah and how many lakes are in Los Angeles?
    It's OK to not be OK.

    strap in bro for another episode of TRUE STORY TIME

    when BYU was founded in 1799 the original intent was to name the team The Child Brides but it was vetoed by then president aaron burr. Burr threatened to invade Utah with the continental militias.

    you see back then when people got mad about something they marched a really long way and shot each other with lead balls.

    just think about that for a minute. you're just sitting on the east coast and you're like "wait, mormons are saying WHAT?" and then the guy is like "yeah bro mormons talking mad shit."

    and you just start walking with a bunch of your other bros.

    six months later? bloodshed. u might not even remember why u was mad.

    but there's dead mormons. all over that mountain.

    that's when we were a real country. before the republicans destroyed our democracy.
