High school

Most likely to rape, most likely to be on drugs, most likely to deal drugs, biggest bum in school are few realistic things a high school leaves out of its best/most likely awards.

The guy was voted most likely to rape, but he wasn't one of the guys from his high school class arrested for rape or statutory rape.

The Climax

An action movie. The plot revolves around the end of the movie, but I'm not gonna give away any more information about it than that.

You seen that movie The Climax from the 90's? It didn't really get good until the end, lots of action at the end. The rest of the movie was lame as hell, it was a stupid movie.

Pete Townshend

Besides an unlikable guy with lots of money and a talent for playing guitar (and not beating someone with one as a weapon, since that allegedly got him knocked out) who would Pete Townshend be without the Who? Is it somehow unfair to Pete Townshend to think or say any of that? It's possible to respect somebody's ability/talent (not underestimate their capability) while having no respect for who and what they are as a human being.

Roger Daltry makes it sound like he wouldn't be anybody in particular without the Who, but really the Who was still a likeable band with him as the face of the band (before the 80s). It hasn't been the same since Pete Townshend started convincing everyone else in the band that he was the best thing to ever happen to the Who, and that nobody else was good enough to question him. At least Roger Daltry seems like a guy who had some heart.

Example of respecting an ability but not the person with the ability- The subject knew the king/queen was capable of executing him or worse, and though he was cautious about what he said and did, he still knew he didnt owe the king/queen or anybody else any respect.

George floyd protests

Divided people more than politics into Black Lives Matter and All Lives Matter camps. Before the protests, people of different races weren't really divided based on race or beliefs/viewpoints, there were people that didn't get along from all groups as there always has been and always will be. There is no such thing as total unity of everyone, it's not realistic.

The George floyd protests are meant to distract a country full of people from the reality that systemic violence can and does happen to anybody, not just black people. It always has been that way, and yet people have conveniently forgotten since George Floyd's death.

Rights

Usually an authoritative source tells you what your rights are, which is why you have none.

Just about everything in the Constitution and Bill of Rights is an authoritative source telling everyone that didn't write it what their rights will be for the next hundred years or so. Most people have never really had any true rights, billionaires have rights, they do what they want to do. They're also telling everyone else what they want them to do a lot of the time.

Fight like you never lost

Fighting like you've never been knocked down or lost isn't the same as never having been knocked down, lost, or fallen to the ground. Somebody somewhere knows who you are, and who you were, no matter who you tell people you are.

Fight like you never lost long enough, and though people aren't going to underestimate you, they are going to research you more than they would if you had been straightforward, direct, or honest.

Minutemen

The main difference between the minutemen of the American Revolution and the minutemen of the new millennium is the minutemen of the American Revolution were fighting the British who came from overseas to fuck with America, while the minutemen of the new millennium were fighting Mexicans who were really visiting land their ancestors once lived on. What the minutemen of the new millennium were doing there is closer to what the British were doing with the Indians when they first showed up.

The minutemen were really the 10 second men, since they were gone in about 10 seconds, and everything else is still there, it hasn't changed.
