Cadets go all in as social justice warriors. This is the biggest threat to the activity we love. Why are they focused on the sexual orientation of the members? DCI is sliding down a slippery slope.

Funny how this pandemic has made many aware of how often they touch their face, my wife struggles with that one. We both wash our hands a lot! Strange times we live in. Thanks for the civil response.

Thin skin = not accepting accusation of not caring about people...very interesting.

I care about others and I wear a mask where required. I don't wear a mask when I'm outside or in my car, and I don't wear gloves. Unless you disinfect the gloves constantly or replace with new ones, wearing gloves is just silly. That is what I consider common sense, but thanks for accusing me of not caring about others. This place is turning into the new RAMD!

Common sense...so refreshing.

Anyone know what happened to Drum Corps Planet? I clicked on my link for DCP and it took me to this political discussion group.

Thank you sir...well said. I don't participate in this site very much anymore. On occasion, I visit this site hoping to engage in meaningful discussion about our beloved drum corps activity. Unfortunately, I let myself get involved in the political nonsense. I should do better...I'm fully aware that civil discussion about politics is not possible right now.

You raise some good points Jim. Hope you are well.

Sadly, this thread is just a small example of the environment in America right now. Not sure if it will ever change. We are very polarized.

Very predictable response...thanks!

You are one of the few voices of reason and common sense in this thread. Thank you sir!

Please stop questioning my integrity. You don't even know me.

America has become freaking mentally exhaustive!

Thank you sir. Watch your back...you will be attacked.

Please elaborate.

You responded to what I didn't say...not what I actually said.

I understand Jim. It would be silly to try and advance the notion that BLM doesn't exist. However, I struggle to take the movement serious when they refuse to address the 2 issues that I mentioned. If the movement is just about black lives why won't they address the number of black lives that are ended by abortion as well as the black on black killings?

We are all getting sick of the nonsense in this country. I'm really asking an honest question though, not trying to stir the pot. The BLM movement is silent on two very important points: the large number of black on black killings in this country and the large number of abortions in the black community. These are two very valid points that many choose to ignore. And sadly, this honest question may get me banned from this site. Oh well, this is an extremely volatile time for America and I simply refuse to follow the forced narrative and be silent.

He said black lives matter is a lie. Free thought that doesn't fit the forced narrative is not allowed in America anymore. Assimilate or you will be destroyed.

Yep, it's called censorship.

It wasn't a dig, it was an opinion. Americans used to be able to have an opinion that didn't fit into the forced narrative.

Boston Crusaders are so woke!

I'm sorry that I was commenting on the Bluecoats statement on the Bluecoats thread. I now realize that my comment was off topic to the Bluecoats. Thank so much for pointing out my error!

You mean it's not doom and gloom and the end of the activity. It's simply a website under maintenance.

Try adding a tiny bit of cranberry juice to the mimosas...delicious!
