  1. Oh, come on. It's not about being allowed to act stereotypically gay, it's about being able to tell your fellow men without fear of discrimination. How would you feel if you could lose your job just by revealing something completely innocent about yourself?
  2. Worked for whom? Certainly not gay people who wanted to join without hiding a major part of their identity. America is supposed to be a society of inclusion, and so should its military as long as a person is physically able to participate. By the way, after reading some of the previous posts I'd recommend that you quit it with the "queer" talk. I realize its a word that gay people have "taken back", but it just sounds ugly to me coming from somebody who's trying to use it in a derogatory or deprecating manner. I don't know, just doesn't seem very nice.
  3. So you'd rather just see a ban on homosexuals in the military?
  4. Well that argument (not that you're making it) is BS. What if 50 racist soldiers are uncomfortable with an Asian member of their ranks? So why are we concerned with 50 homophobic soldiers?
  5. Yeah, that's the same thing as what's happening around Port Au Prince...parts of some roofs got torn off and the stupid locals are just too lazy to fix it themselves Numbnuts, most of the money being donated isn't currently being used to improve infrastructure. Food, clean water, medicine, temporary shelters, search and rescue efforts...that's where the money's going. Do you even understand the difference between handouts and aid? Save the Ayn Rand bull honky for a different time...people are dying, children are dying of starvation, disease, infection...BY THE !@#$ING MINUTE Do yourself a favor...do some actual research on the situation, instead of just blindly applying your BS "yep, get er done, pull yourself up by the bootstraps" mentality to a situation where it doesnt even come close to applying. Better yet, open up a history book and learn exaclty why Haiti is so goddamn poor in the first place.
  6. Thank goodness this wasn't posted on PPP...right now, there'd be about 200 responses and we'd be bickering about global warming. As for Shirley's opinion...well, he's clearly way too up on his high horse to really see the suffering that is happening right now. I dare him (and some of you) to travel to Haiti, look a starving child in the eyes, and say "Sorry kid, but if I just give you a handout...what did you REALLY LEARN?"
  7. Vehicular manslaughter, killed his own teammate. Plus he used to play for the Sens.
  8. That's Tebow on the gridiron...that's Tebow in the SPOT-LIGHT...losing his religion
  9. I like the idea of a Seattle team...it would make a nice US/Canada rivalry between them and Vancouver, something which I think is currently lacking in the league. Buffalo/Toronto is one of the better ones, but the two teams haven't been simultaneously good for quite some time now. Buffalo/Ottawa is quickly becoming a good one too. Boston/Montreal is a nice one. But what do you mean there aren't enough teams in the western conference?
  10. New York Yankees Charlotte Bobcats Penn State football Cornell basketball
  11. I'd go back and give myself all the winning mega-millions lottery numbers. Then I'd use the money to f*ck with people.
  12. Obviously, nobody's even heard of the worst band ever. Probably some tone-deaf kids playing in a garage somewhere in Wisconsin or something like that
  13. Would anybody out there even WANT to live forever if the technology existed? It sounds horrible. Part of what makes life great is knowing that we have a finite and specific number of years to live.
  14. Should we be more offended by the thinly veiled metaphor or the fact that he wants a man to die so that a football team can do better? I vote the metaphor...you can tell that he thinks he's soooooo clever.
  15. Or maybe he's just trying to honor a fallen brother in his own way? But no, let's be ignorantly cynical and just assume the worst...that's what usually flies around here, so why not?
  16. The problem isn't "suks", it's "suks balls" that's profane.
  17. His best acting was in Kramer vs. Kramer. My favorite would have to be The Graduate.
  18. http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/...hells-criticism Guy has been a headcase, but if a change of scenery is the best medicine then the Bills got themselves a talented player. And if things don't turn out well, just dump him at the end of the season.
  19. Tragedy caused by stupidity is tragedy nonetheless. I've done dumb sh*t that could've gotten me killed, but I like to think folks wouldn't be smack-talking at me from beyond the grave.
  20. Don't know how things are down by the bay, but $6 or $10 will get you all the way across town here depending on which company you use.
  21. Not judging you because I've done it too (and as a minor no less), but a $10 taxi fare could end up saving a lot of grief.
  22. O ROY will be Percy Harvin, most likely.
  23. Three children lost their father A woman lost her fiance A man died an early death And all you people can do is judge, criticize, and (worst of all) laugh Merry Christmas.
  24. Wow, I didn't realize what a great season Cushing was having...probably will finish the season with about 140 tackles. I still think Byrd and Orakpo are candidates #1 and #2 for the award, but I should've given Cushing some love when creating the poll.
