Plan to Attract Free Agents

[Stoked]

No , blurring the line will make the line less important.
I am offering solutions. you are not.

I do not think that is a solution. There is no blurring of the lines in your "proposal". You are just ghancing the label for some people. If you wanted to "blur the lines" you would slowly do away with more and more labels. YOur "pllan" does not do that. It only shifts people from one label to another.

Ok, I'm spent. Things to do so have fun storming your castle North.

Hey northeast, you should start a thread that limits the arguing between you and stoked to just that one thread. Great idea?

I love you.

Yeah, I thought people with money already had those privileges. Hell I'm white and I don't get half those accompanying benefits, though maybe whitey doesn't get them in Colorado.

legalize marijuana, legalize gambling, and legalize prostitution that is what athletes in general would like to see.

I must be an athlete.

You are being overly defensive.. I was not knocking Utah, I was making a lighthearted statement about how it is silly that people who are part white and part black are always thought of as black, and how there are biases and inequities in our American society in general, not just in Utah, that could be possibly reduced if the perceived lines between black and white were moved around and blurred.

Seems like this is a stretch of a fit for the Utah Jazz forum.

Mods, please categorize this thread appropriately by merging it with the "Posters you wish would retire" thread in General. Thanks.

Legalize polygamy, improve our clubs, legalize marijuana, and attract black people here. Free agents will go crazy for us!!!

Nothing is legally stopping guys from having multiple women partners without marrying them, that I know of.

Blurring of a line reduces the effectiveness of the line.

Two things:

1. Any line that is in place is not there because of some administrative mandate. The line is there because both sides acknowledge and recognize it.

2. Stoked has said this, but I think it bears repeating; Your "solution" doesn't blur any lines, it just moves some people from one side to the other. If anything, this reinforces the concept of the line.

Our plan for attracting FAs would be basically Derrick Favors........ oh, and overpaying, but everyone does that except the Lakers.

(there are administrative rules classifying people. Many Laws rely on this distinction, which is defined by the US Census and such.)

2. Stoked has said this, but I think it bears repeating; Your "solution" doesn't blur any lines, it just moves some people from one side to the other. If anything, this reinforces the concept of the line.

your point 1, first of all , is false, but also, even if it were true , that would not detract from the validity of my recommendation
(The line are drawn by such things as the US Census, and have implications in many distinctions of law or administration.)

your point 2, is incorrect, like Stoked, you are being too literal, seeing things in black and white, and not seeing grey areas or foreseeing consequences.
What you are not seeing, is that the moving of the line would make people realize that the line is arbitrary, blurry, and impractical.
With this realization, I believe the line would become more disregarded and unimportant.
