green_sioux Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I see this as one entertainment figure stating a heartfelt opinion about another entertainment figure - movie star to reality TV star, one a millionaire, one a billionaire. A basic opinion that it's not decent to mock a person with a disability simply because he doesn't agree with you. She should be entitled to give her opinion as the reality TV star was entitled to give his opinion. One statement was childishly bullying and just sad. (If you're own child did that to a handicapped kid, would you be OK with that?) The other was saying Americans and even possibly people who want to be leaders, maybe should better than that. For me, it says more out your own character if you feel the need to attack the person for stating their opinion and sticking up for someone less fortunate. Whether they are poor, middle class or rich.....right is right. But, that's just me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UNDBIZ Posted January 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 10, 2017 Apparently I contributed to stirring up a bit of a hornet's nest here with my attempt at humor, so that's my bad.

However, I'm willing to give it a pass because it was in October and UMD has a little bit of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm willing to give it a pass because it was in October. I was just about to make the same comment about the Duluth series. that was some of the worst hockey I've ever seen. I seriously considered turning the games off, not because they were losing, or even because the commentators were so horrific, but it was just plain boring to watch. As has been pointed out, UND is on a solid run of hockey as of late, but with how inconsistent play was early in the season (even in a few series that we won) I think the next two weekends will speak volumes about where this team is going, and how they have developed since the beginning of the season. Consistency is key, and playing a full 60. I really liked what I saw on Saturday, when UNO scored early. The team didn't settle back and start playing defensively, they stuck with their game plan, attacked, and bounced back. I'd like to see a sweep against Miami. I'd love a sweep against Duluth, but would prefer a series win, with solid consistent play. Do that and we are primed for a serious run at 9. Really like the play we got from splitting Boeser and Jost; it'll be interesting to see if we do that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played 2 decent periods that weekend(the second period of each game.) We gave up 8 goals on the weekend...3 on the power play....two shorthanded.....and a empty net goal. Looking forward to how we match up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the home games an hour south to start in the NCAA's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
