>Like I told the grand kids. If you go...... then get a degree in engineering, law, or something that pays.
Funny, in college some of the engineering and science professors would say if you were doing this for the money then you should be in finance instead. Less demanding and higher payoff.

>Meanwhile, Germany has free college education and universal health care. It makes you wonder who won the war
Germany is different than the US in education and what employers demand. Their % of population with college degrees is 40% less than the US. I think they have better and more apprenticeship plus training programs for employees instead of demanding college scholarships.
As for universal health care, in all the countries that have that the doctors and nurses make much less compared to those in the US.
That war ended over 70 years ago.

Many people on the internet have pointed out that prior to Markle's problems with the royal family she's had problems with her own family. Like the saying that if everyone around you is an asshole then it's you who is really the asshole.

>I know for a fact that there were people without healthcare who got healthcare as a direct result of Obamacare.
It also made insurance unaffordable for many.
Nowadays there are companies like goodrx that allow people without insurance to get similar prescription prices to those that pay for insurance.

>A unified federal government response makes things so much smoother unlike Trump who left states to deal with it themselves.
Local governments are in charge of giving the vaccines.
A unified response could have been better or worse. Imagine if Cuomo was President.

>Nobody complained but Dr. Seuss Enterprises pulled 6 of his books off the shelves. Can you cancel yourself?
It wasn't self examination. They've been complaining about dr seuss for a while. for example this article from 2017:

>Why can’t these super white areas put more focus on putting black people in their neighborhoods or something else where white peoples are forced to associate with black people
In my experience it's black people that don't want to mix with white people. In high school in the mornings instead of going to the classrooms they would all congregate together at a certain location until the bell sounded starting class. In sports they were cliquish and only passed the ball among themselves. Despite desegregation they still go to black colleges. At work a black girl said that her boyfriends parents didn't like her because she talked white. Presently on forums I read black people write that they don't want to do things that white people do. Blacks complain about other races stealing from them if they try to involve themselves with things "created" by black people.
MLK Jr. may have the holiday but in the 60s there was also a strong movement for black separatism like only wanting black teachers in black high schools among other things.

If all of these things were only named after white people or white groups then they would still complain.

>Interesting side note: I didn't realize they had artificial turf all the way back then.
I don't think they actually had much grass either. A lot of painted dirt. I just watched the 82 NFC championship game of Dallas at Washington and Sumerall made a comment about the whole field being green painted dirt. Also just watched an NFL Films show called "End of an Era 1968-70" and at the beginning they talk about the new astro turf and have film of it's first installation in Philadelphia's Franklin Field. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMKVLx6KxKw

>“The use of so many acronyms within the educational field often tends to alienate those who may not speak English to understand the acronym,” he wrote."
Even people who speak English don't know what most acronyms stand for. These nutcases could use an LDK or some OTC.

Somewhat correct, Unitas was injured in the 2nd quarter of the Super Bowl and Morrall came in with Colts down 13-6. But Unitas started all the Colts games except for the regular season finale because the Colts had already won the division. So giving credit to Unitas.

>I remember the announcers talking blase about "and he'll be replaced by Tom Brady, he's a pocket passer, 5th-rounder out of Michigan."
Interesting comment that made me wonder about the draft positions of the other most successful quarterbacks - those with 3 or more world championships.
Sid Luckman - pick 2 by Bears from Pittsburgh, 4x world champion 40,41,43,46
Otto Graham - pick 4 by Lions but signed for Browns of the AAFC, 3x world champion 50,54,55 plus 4 AAFC championships from 46-49
Johnny Unitas - pick 102-round 9 of 1955 draft by Pittsburgh but cut from team before season. Signed by Colts in 1956 and became the starting QB after George Shaw, the 1955 overall first pick, was injured. 3x world champ 58,59,70
Bart Starr - pick 200-round 17, 5x world champ 61,62,65,66,67
Terry Bradshaw - pick 1. Began the 74 season behind Terry Gilliam before regaining the starting position after 6 games. 4x world champ 74,75,78,79.
Joe Montana - pick 82-round 3. 4x world champ 81,84,88,89.
Troy Aikman - pick 1. 3x world champ 92,93,95.
Tom Brady - pick 199-round 6. 6x world champ 01,03,04,14,16,18.
Brady and Unitas were the only QBs with a long gap between championships. Also notice that pretty much each decade had one dominant QB excepting Unitas whose championships were separated by Starr's accomplishments.

It's worth noting that Carson's show was 90 minutes long for the first 18 years.

shailynnThey never tell you what you need to know.
Having a winning season or being in the playoffs isn't the same thing as winning a championship. Only championships make a dynasty - not just being in the championship game. Therefore 2 dynasties separated by 9 years.
The pats were in the AFC champ game 8 (not 11) years in a row. 2011-2018
