Liberals love to say "JESUS WAS A SOCIALIST!!!!" Good luck finding Christ EVER saying that wealth should be "redistributed" or anything of the sort at the tip of a spear.

I don't get it....in one discussion, we want the players to be human...to be like fans...motived by the same things that motivate us. The team. Its past. The city. But now, its "they are professionals"...they "shouldn't need" such motivation....they "don't care." Well which one is it?????

This is a loser's mentality in my opinion. We're no less an NFL team than anyone else. The Lombardi Trophy is the goal of every NFL team. Why should we be afraid to visualize our own goal?
Anybody who has had even a modicum of success in life knows that visualization of your goals is key.

Oh, well please tell me which part is filled with factual inaccuracies (As if that isn’t an oxymoron if I ever heard one) and bigotry. Remember that bigotry is the holding of one’s view point in spite of facts to the contrary. You don’t get to make up the facts, but you’re welcome to try, Marc.
I’ll head you off at the pass before you even begin to present your standard narrative.
1. Because animals (what was it 1500 at last count) do the gay, it must be natural. Errrr, WRONG.
2. Twins studies show that being gay is genetic.. Errrr… WRONG they show the reverse.
3. Because I as a straight man am unable to change my adult sexuality, gays are equally unable. True, but I maintain that homosexuality is a manifestation of one’s environment that begins early in one’s life prior to the maturation of the prefrontal cortex. Look up what the PFC is and get back to me.
4. Gay kids who are younger siblings of older male brothers have shown a correlation to adult homosexuality. True, there is some actual science there, however, with small samples and study structure, is way too early for any reliable statistically significant data sets to come out.
The truth is, with no BS, no agenda, no ideology, that, no one really knows for sure what causes homosexuality, but as a matter of intellectual honesty without the agenda and as a matter of the scientific method, one cannot simply see an anomaly and place it on equal footing to the standard baseline. This is what you’re attempting to do with saying that homosexuality is no more a product of one’s environment or a choice any more than heterosexuality. It’s clever, but only because most people don’t understand the use of circular reasoning. The fact is that in almost all species that have ever come and gone on this planet, with a tiny few exceptions, procreate with the male and female gender coming together to produce offspring. Evolution seems to have found this method to be the most efficient way to mix genes, to provide the best possible chances at diversity for species to survive. What does it mean? It means that heterosexuality IS the baseline; we as a species don’t have a choice in our predispositions to heterosexuality.
Don’t you find it strange that all of a sudden gays want to have their own children in growing numbers? Back in the 70’s having kids was taboo in gay culture. In the 70’s before they got a consistent unified message and agenda, (We’re normal and do not harm anyone, would like to be married, and have kids too) gays were all over the spectrum, but one thing remained consistent. Gays themselves did not “think” they were born that way. To think that was also taboo. No, they loved that it was their own choice to be gay, and that they were different. It was a huge part of their culture in fact. It wasn’t until after the 80’s AIDS scare that responsible gays began coalescing the message of homosexuality. They knew that (Although completely wrong of society) stigmatism towards homosexual men being blamed for AIDS was at its height, and they needed to clean themselves up as a community. Not all did, but most of them understood that safer sex was needed, they knew that forming a strong political lobby was important, and many of them popped up, and some stayed to this day and a lot of them just faded away, but they were able to lobby congress, however, early on and to this day, most of their successes have come from the judiciary where usurping the will of the people was way easier and a lot less costly than lobbying congress or the people directly.
Look, the history of the gay culture in America is well documented on both sides of the aisle, and it’s not like you can’t find out for yourself what and exactly how homosexual rights have gained in the last 40 years. It’s all there! If you’re going to argue with me about what are facts and opinion, then please do, just please know that you’re entitled to an opinion, but you’re not entitled to your own facts. If you think something is a fact, then please make sure that you say you think it is a fact, but you MUST be able to back it up, otherwise it’s an opinion.
Clear?

edited to remove incendiary language.
Why should MM actually do some research on a subject or observe and cite his own experiences with homosexuals when he can just put his fingers in his ears and say "Im right and youre a bigot, nanny nanny poo poo?" Frankly I don't know whats right. I go from what Ive seen in my own life with friends and family who are gay. Some of their life experiences back up this post above. Some dont. Im not one to judge. Ill give you credit for at least trying to put some thought into it all. Thats a lot more than Marc and others do. As far as the original topic goes....nope...still don't care. However, it will be interesting to see if lets say this player really wears his sexuality on his sleeve, the media gives him **** the same way they did with Tim Tebow for wearing his faith on his. Anyone wanna take a bet on what happens there?

Homosexuality isn't a choice or a product of one's environment any more than is heterosexuality. This entire post is ridiculous and filled with a dangerous mix of factual inaccuracies and bigotry.
Oh, Marc. Oh, Marc. What you don't know on the subject is a lot.

I wonder if the player in question is as gay as this thread. I'm all for gay people being treated like everyone else, but this militant pro-gay steam some of you are spewing sounds more like the "look at me! Look at me! See how open minded I am!" grandstanding I'm used to seeing from pathetic tools dealing with white guilt who have to be even more outraged than the black guy to prove you're "one of the good one's." Someone in this thread even went so far as to denigrate as juvenile and ignorant the belief that gay sex is "icky". I got news for you tough guy: Butt sex IS "icky". Swimming around in someone else's **** is kind of gross - and that's true of heterosexual butt love too.
The point is, can't we just agree that gay people shouldn't be ridiculed for their sexuality without being fags about it.
Poast of the year.

Anyone want me to put on my spandex and have my way with the new meat?

The ironic thing about that sign, is that by buying it and putting it up there, "Jennifer" proved why she was most likely cheated on in the first place.

Good point.
Driving on I-68 around Frostburg last weekend I saw a bumper sticker that said "Don't Renig in 2012." And to think that there are people who really believe that all disagreements with the President is entirely race-neutral.
I tried to make eye contact with the driver. He glanced at me and quickly looked forward.
What's the point of having such an offensive bumper sticker if you're not going to display it confidently?
You don't understand why a guy driving didn't have the time to have a stare down with you? I think you think too much of yourself. But of yeah.....bumper stickers....Google Anti Bush ones. Then get back to me about being "offensive."

I asked you to explain how it wouldn't. Who gives a turkey about GG?GG said it would stifle growth, I responded to that post and then you replied to my reply of GG's. Now show me how it has stifled growth.
-
YOU MADE THE CLAIM, YOURE THE ECONOMICS EXPERT, YOU BACK IT THE !@#$ UP.Please illustrate to me how when they did raise the minimum wage it stifled growth. The burden of proof is on you.
Thank you in advance.
-
The MW has been raised plenty of times with the above argument as a basis for doing so. Please illustrate from the last time the MW went up that the above took place. Thank you in advance.I believe that it won't stifle growth, that it won't effect profits much for most corporations and that I believe it will benefit employees earning minimum wage, and I believe it will produce positive effects on the economy.

it isn't working when 50 million people are on food stamps. it isn't working when over 1 million school kids are reported by their schools to be homeless. it isn't working when millions more go hungry on a regular basis. it isn't working when all this is going on and wealth is becoming even more concentrated.
Im sorry, that "food stamp" number and it being used to show who is really poor and hungry is a complete line of propaganda. I REFUSE to believe its accuracy when the FDA is running COMMERICALS to ENCOURAGE people to get on Food Stamps for nothing else but to "improve" their diet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1nv8G6UFfc

So the solution is higher taxes and suffocating fees for govt services on the middle class, an increased set of regulations that make even your kid opening a lemonade stand impossible, coupled with more and more handouts to people who don't contribute Dime One to the "system?" How does THAT compute?getting back to the main point, the U.S. is seeing increasing wealth and income inequality together with decreasing social mobility and you'd have to be a dunce not to see that as a problem in a country who's basic narrative is anti-aristocracy , pragmatically increasing concentrations of wealth mean increasing concentrations of political power with that power being decreasingly disconnected with the plights of the masses. Under such conditions large numbers of the middle-class and below will feel increasingly disenfranchised from the normal political processes leading to everything from extreme apathy to extreme social unrest.

Not in today's America. EVERYTHING is someone else's fault. Everything.while i feel for his frustrations, part of me was very irked by the "i didnt sign up for...."
likely a lot of people that signed up right after 9/11 feel the same way, but there has to be a certain realization that when you sign up for the military you sign up for a lot of things you might not believe in and you need to consider that BEFORE you enlist.

Big Media being the viacoms, the turners, the comcasts -- big corporate congloms that currently control the airwaves. From cable news, to network news, to sitcoms to dramas, "Big Media" is in full scramble mode trying to figure out how to keep the current system in place. But they're losing the battle and everyone knows it.
From Netflix, to YouTube to Hulu to the blogosphere, younger viewers/readers are turning away from traditional media outlets (cable, tv, print journalism) and getting their information and entertainment from the interwebs. As the older generation begins to die out (myself included), the younger generations aren't going back to traditional media. Network TV is dying, cable TV is beginning it's death spiral, print is already dead.
Point being, with more people turning to outside sources for news, there is less control of information by the Big Media -- the ones who have the most money invested in our current string of politicians. This certainly leads to a lot of misinformation (people who cite Drudge or Maddow's blogs as solid news sources) but it also leads to true intellectual freedom with things like Wikileaks.
20 years from now Big Media will be all but gone. There will be a vacuum that will have to be filled, but the power and freedom of information on the internet will change the game for the younger generations, for better and worse.
It already has.
Drudge is just an aggregator. And if you bothered to actually look, one of the most fair and balanced around. While Drudge himself is a right winger, his website has tons of links to left leaning news sources and columnists. But please....continue.

The "Obama is satan" meme to discredit the series has about lost all its steam, so now its going to be replaced with "they made Satan black because Mark Burnett is a no good Raaaaaaacist" meme. God, I wish someone would make sausage out of you.of course satan is black
its as obvious as jesus is white

If you have been accused of being a racist so many times in your life that you have to attend a seminar titled "Are You Sick And Tired Of Being Called A Racist When You Know You’re Not One?" I got news for you. You ARE a racist.
Except for the fact that real racists..or real anybodys for that matter....aren't interested in attending a panel talking about being "sick and tired" of being called something they are. They might attend a panel to maybe change their behavior...or deal with being what they are. But a panel just to talk about being sick and tired of being accused of something then KNOW they are, with no end game or action item to it? Never. Nice try, though.

they pull that crap all the time, did same with jauron. Comes from being cheap, they panick and think they can get an "A" player or coach for "B" money. 5 wins by mid season seems to be the magic number for someone to get wildly overpaid
Its a good thing nobody on this board wasn't demanding Fitz get signed at the time.
AP won't call them 'illegal immgrants' anymore

Not to change the subject but Leno is anything but a liberal. Romney was a fool for not going on the Tonight Show.
