Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

A "democracy" in whatever form presumes we have an informed voting public better able to make choices en masses than some more insular group, or single person.

Part of that presumes the voting public has the ability to decipher truth from fiction, at least in large enough numbers to "count".

We also could consider a kind of "qualified democracy" where only some minor portion of adults could vote, or make choices, with the limit being one person (or perhaps computer in some future).

Do "we" really want to go there?  We probably shouldn't on this site.

Luckily, we can have this conversation with zero political strife.



We don't have to worry about either left or right - anyone and everyone all along the spectrum can only form a valid democratic populace if they're informed.  Hence, the purposeful - and I keep using that word for a reason - the purposeful deception of the truth online should be criminal.  No, you can't get every jackass with too much time on his hands, but these massive bot groups and purposeful misinformation outlets (who play both sides like a maestro) could easily be criminalized. 



And YES, they're as bad or worse than any of the other verbal or typed crimes that already exist.

Criminalized?

Yeah, establishing that standard in line with 1A is going to be ... near impossible. Shoot, weren’t we calling a list of top college players that was too NFL based clickbait like four months ago?

Speaking of teeth, so, I'm missing my penultimate upper right molar.  The cavity has healed remarkably quickly.  It's not even sore now. 

Can I avoid this implant process and just live with a missing tooth?

Gonna ask the dentist.

You live in Georgia now. I'm sure it'll be fine. 

Good one, but it's a molar, so I still don't "fit in".

Speaking of turnovers, Wisconsin lost that "battle" against UI 3-1.  UGA lost to USCe by 4-0, including a Pick 6.

I think they are largely unpredictable and very often the core reason for an upset (where a 20+ point dog wins).  I think "Talking Heads" like to get all quasi-technical about yardage this and percentage that and who won the past 5 games on the road at night, and forget about this because we can't predict it.

As for the tooth... try eating a steak today or tomorrow. If you can't properly chew it, you need the tooth.

Could always take one from the front and put it in the back.

I have pretty good dental insurance, so money is not the issue really, it's time and pain.  The implant thing is manifold, several visits, and none of them sound pleasant.

My gum is probably still sensitive, though it doesn't feel bad, but I'll wait on the steak.  I ate some chili over rice last night, first solid thing I've tried to eat.  Was fine.

The other good news is I can walk to the dentist's office.  I like this being able to walk anywhere thing.

Another thing I dislike is the "calculations" of odds to make the playoff.  Such burfle.

I'm sure folks click on the link and then feel bad or better depending.  Burfle, all of it.

We all understand Clemson has a pretty clear shot, and then the other undefeated teams, and then some one loss teams.  Duh.
