US Patent Office Rules Redskins Name Is Offensive, Cancels Trademarks

Sure, it wouldn't be because there are more pressing issues. Ever hear of Triage?

Life isn't triage.
If you only want to worry about the first priority at any given time, you'll do nothing but argue over what is first priority. What does that get you?

from the look of some of these post i guess im supposed to ignore little white lies and let petty theft slide

its the little things that add up to big things

football is a game of inches

you put one foot in front of the other and soon youll be walking across the floor or or

am i supposed to blur the line between right and wrong or make it crystal clear?

I'm going to address the first question, then ignore the rest.

I've already given my view of this. It's in this thread.

Of course you are....

why are we talking about priorities of Native Americans and what they should be working on? Seems like a it's just deflecting. Saying that there are more important issues to figure out is not a valid argument as to why the lesser priority issues can't be discussed or settled.

already pointed out my friend.

And only one thing at a time, because the true way to make progress is to spend all your time arguing over what to do first.

America!

America!

again, your debate skills are getting even weaker.
you take one comment and try to apply it to everything.

Triage is certainly life, try not eating, sleeping, or drinking and see how far you get.

only people arguing about what do to first is the ones who don't want to do anything.

no need to argue, it is too obvious.

I must have missed the post.

Eating and sleeping IS triage now?

But I'm the one whose skills are lacking?

You're not even trying to make sense anymore. I'll see you after the election when olyou turn back into a person. Or when you get on topic and make some damn sense. Whichever comes first.

So which of those is the one thing you AND EVERYONE agree should be the only thing worked on until it's finished (easy to keep everything for yourself only fighting one battle. Republicanism!)

you're still doing it though aren't you. you're deflecting from this topic by stating all of the other high prioritized issues that negatively effect native americans. I don't get why these other topics matter when trying to debate this issue. It's not like there's this single team that has to pick from the list of things to work on and they've picked the redskins name as their top one and they won;t work on anything else until it's fixed. Things just don't work that way.
