When my kids started using the internet back in the late 90's we had a talk about what you say out there stays there for life.

Funny that so many -- especially folks in public life -- didn't have the common sense to know that.

There is a big difference between a 14 year old kid calling his friends gay on twitter, and a grown man calling for the elimination of a country.

Way off base.

Regardless of his awful comments on Israel, Lamont Hill is a crazy person, and CNN should have parted ways with him long ago.

It might keep Murray off the Patriots but most teams will look at his performance and not worry about his views as long as he's not a Kyle Kappernick and shooting his mouth off about an issue ad nauseum just to get attention.

Intelligent people know this. A friend who is a teacher told me a decade ago that she erased all her social media accounts...she's still a teacher and very happy.

It's a temptation for ignorance that many people can't keep themselves from...especially when we now have a Tweeter-in-Chief who puts his seal of approval on social media as a way to do anything. Heck, we'll probably hear about his launch of a nuke before the Military gets the code.

People need to put down their phones and computers and actually do real things....and that's coming to you from someone who spent over 20 years creating and running large forum site(s). I had a reason to be online...many of you don't.
This. My FB is boring as heck but keeps family in the loop of goings on. That and hobby groups. At least until the SJW types declare aquariums are a reason to ruin a person for life.

He did not call for the deaths of millions of people. All he asked for was equality and peace. Maybe you should ask a female blm activist who snapped shot a 12 year old white kids tweets who attend to use it against this child when that child becomes an adult. This stuff right now he getting to out control with sensitivity. It's best to monitor your child's activities on social media these days.

Yet another day, yet more whining from the right about being caught up in improprieties.
Jesus take the wheel, Kevin Hart and Kyler Murray are republicans?
