Bit of a throwback question for the old-timers. How meaningfully did the Jazz offensive/defensive schemes change after Layden quit and Jerry took over? Was there never a meaningful change? Did Jerry immediately implement notable changes? Was that first season pretty similar, but going into...

Word is Dejounte Murray is on the market, he'd be a guy I'd like who's secured on a decent contract. How many picks added to one of Clarkson/Sexton to get it done?

I don't agree with AI on the Palestinian national movement having a strong tie to Nazism (I see WWI as setting the path for our current road and WWII just being another step). I also don't vibe with Gore's focus on the importance of the religious components of Zionism. Zionism is just not...

As a polyamorous man (so I've been around a few people trying to juggle multiple relationships), yeah, there's at least some truth to that for a fair number of people (comfortability with their partner having a partner that is not the same gender as them), not just men. There can be a feeling...

I could see us making moves, but spending picks for guys who won't be here long-term seems unlikely at this point.

Maybe not never, but they are famous for asking for what some might call unreasonably high prices and are certainly not above killing hostages. Back in '11 there was a famous 1027 (many big names ones) for 1 prisoner swap (after 5 years of captivity). He was the first captured IDF soldier...

Always are more questions - that one I think is reasonably straightforward, the Jews happened to be on the side that won both world wars, so they got their wish (Zionism) fulfilled after the second war, had the Axis won I'm less sure the Palestinians would've got their own nation (likely they...

While I'm feeling historical, a question I've always wondered - why in 1947 did the UN partition plan give the Negev to Israel and the northern portion bordering Lebanon to Palestine? The map would seem to make so much more sense with the two flipped. Those narrow strips of land separating the...

Firstly, as I said in my initial post I don't really care about the history in reference to current events, it's just too long to still be an excuse any more. But I do like history :) I think this a pretty good summary of the last 75 years. I do think starting after WWII is a bit late. I would...

I generally view myself as some form of leftist (got just a bit of flack around here for giving Castro a Rest in Power back in the day - though probably slightly more critical of him these days), but the wider lefts aggressive infantilization of Hamas/Gaza in this situation is just wacky and is...

Back on Jazzfanz for the first time in a minute, wanted to read some and let some thoughts flow too. No real order to them. I'm not very interested in a 'who started it' discussion at this point, it goes back to at least WWI, and certainly nobody alive today was there making decisions, all need...

I’ve only seen the movie, is the book particularly more inappropriate? It’s been awhile, but from what I remember I have a hard time imaging high schoolers not being able to handle the film version

We got one of those 'protect the children' book laws here recently in Iowa, and here's one of the first lists of books a school library has decided to remove. I haven't read most of them, I'm sure some are not very good books, but there's some real quality here too. Sad stuff. Caged Bird in...

Not a big fan of the above if I’m being honest

Doesn't ring any bells. All I remember on here is he invited me to a personal forum once (Trouts?), but I never bothered. Hope I'd still recognize him in real life at least, ran into his brother a couple of months ago, congrats on being an uncle poster whose name I don't recall!

I can't remember the username of the fellow who first brought me here, haven't seen him in real life in a bit either, but I hope it's going well for him.

Obama was 47 I believe.

What would be folks proposed upper age limits for these types of positions?

Sam Colt (with some help from a friend or two) made sure everyone in America can be a danger from the day they're born (not quite) til the day they die, unfortunately. As a younger teen I was a bit of a meritocrat. Still some of those thoughts, but I'd like to think in general I've become a...
