Almost every year there is at least 1 fight involving a football player that gets reported to the media. The reason I mentioned the story is because the people who started the fight were football players. It just didnt get reported like most fights involving scholarship athletes. /shrugs But I guess youd have more personal knowledge on Madison at 2am then I would.

One thing I can definitely say is I prefer Caufield's new icon.

I was making a point about context. That the exact same phrase could be non-offensive in a different context. It was to point out why you cant say "Why arent people attacking Hollywood" well without context of what he is referring to, I dont know.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 05:28 PM) Because "We strongly feel that homosexuals are second class citizens and do not deserve equal rights" is pretty darn unfunny. It could be funny. Imagine if the owner of CFA is dressed like Jefferson Davis and he is speaking to a group of slaves, about how terrible their lives would be if he freed them, because they would have to live with the sinners in the North.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 05:24 PM) OK, what if the CEO of CFA said the same things said on a comedy show about gays? He'd be fried in the media. Why not movie producers and actors? Actors could refuse the part if they have to make gay jokes. There is no outrage because Hollywood is glamorous and everybody there is rich. That's what our society is about. No scorn for the rich in this instance. The CEO of CFA is super rich. There is no outrage because by and large Hollywood is pro-SSM so what would they be complaining about?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 05:08 PM) Why is it not glamorous? Society has rotted to the point that all that matters is money and power like you said. Which is fine, always been that way, but there used to be tolerance and respect for those who decided to eschew money and power and give their lives to God or work for free as a missionary. Now that is considered laughable, moronic. "You want to be a missionary?? What is wrong with you???? You want to be a priest?? My gawd, where did I go wrong. Priests are molesters!!!" I still consider both missionary and priest noble professions. More power to them for living lives of poverty. society says no. Well missionaries and priests arent the same. But historically speaking Priest used to be a very powerful, influential and often wealthy member of the community. It is the reason why Nobles would have their 2nd/3rd sons become Priests, or why Kings would have their 2/3rds become Bishops/Pope. People have always been about power and money, the establishment just did a really good job of convincing their flock that they werent about money and power. If you believe in Jesus, you have to remember one of his biggest gripes was about the corruption of the Jewish priests. So this isnt new, its been going on at least 5700 years (I think Jewish calendar is in the year 5700 something).

The Bmac trade is another thread where I was one of the few who favored it. Danks was a stud, BMac scared me.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 04:51 PM) No, it's the whole story and slanted coverage as a whole. Not all priests are bad, yet the perception has been repeated so much that now you look up priest in the dictionary and the word pedophile appears so to speak. It's just not so. And I'm all for the bastard bishops who covered it up getting thrown in jail. I hate all molesters and all people who cover up molestation. Crimes against kids should be punishable by the death penalty or life in solitary! But it's not all priests. And the occupation has been ruined. I work in a profession that is pretty disliked, yet every year thousands more people want that job. Why? Money, power, etc. Priest just isnt as glamorous these days. Priest was a good job for a 2nd son, who you had no money to marry away. Since society has evolved passed that, there have been decreasingly less priests. 2 of my close friends fathers were going to be Priests, both quit seminary school because of girls and money. People are people.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 04:36 PM) How come nobody attacks Hollywood and TV producers. You'll still see the feminine portrayal of gays in the movies and on TV shows and occasional jokes about being gay in the movies. How come there's no outrage?? The same reason Jew's dont attack Seinfeld for making Jewish jokes. He may be an anti-dentite but he isnt an anti-semite.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) Just keep ignoring the fact that the people supposedly defending the notion of equal rights and equal acceptance are the same people that feel so much hate and animosity towards a specific group of people. People are hypocrites, not a new phenomenon. I wish they wouldnt take that route because its completely unnecessary. I have no problem with Christians, I have a problem with people who use religion as a rationale for discrimination.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:57 PM) Wait. "but the truth is that privilege always lies with the majority."? Have they paid attention to 20-21st century history? Many of the most impressive slaughters recently have been by minority groups who were threatened when the majority rose up. Im not sure this is really accurate. Most top 5 lists in that century have Stalin, Hitler and Leopold II. And the first 2 are responsible for almost 10x as many deaths as anyone else.

I think what hurts priests is that many cant get married or have sex. Its not olden times where primogeniture reigned. Back then if you were 2nd/3rd son, priest was one of your only options because you werent getting an inheritance from your family.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:14 PM) I think liberals have won the fight because many don't believe in God and the best way to prove they are right and we are wrong is mock the side that believes in God. We sit back and take it and that is that. There is no question society is going down the tubes. The workplace is a joke nowadays with all the do nothing HR departments and rude bully executives who do no actual work except find ways to keep raises down and find the cheapest insurance companies possible to further bully employees. Our society is going downhill fast and I would like for anybody to prove to me otherwise. I think we were doing much better when people at least respected those with Christian beliefs. I personally think we live in one of the golden ages of humanity. During what time period was it better? During World War I and World War II? During the crusades? In modern society minorities actually have freedom. How is this a bad thing? Im not sure how this relates to greed, prior to LIBERALISM (the thing you seem to hate) life was described as: "and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. " See Hobbes, Leviathan.

The reason why Liberals have won the fight is because people look at the religious argument and ask questions that cant really be answered. For example, why is polygamy wrong? Did you know that Abraham, the founder of Judaism, had 3 wives? Did you know King Solomon had 3 wives, Jacob had multiple wives and same with David. If multiple wives is a sin, then all of these men are sinners. Which makes no sense, because GOD came to Abraham. You would think if he didnt want that, he would have chosen a non-sinner. You just can not rectify the belief with the Old Testament, which historically came first. So it basically undercuts the entire "this is how humans always did it" when many of the first Jews were admittedly polygamists.

2 am is bar time, there are tons of random fights at that time. Ive been apart of one that started over the line for Gin's Chicken.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 01:41 PM) I meant the physical marital act. Christ. The point of humans coming together as a social species, as opposed to roaming as loners, was to procreate. We've always been monogamous and "marriage" was a simple extension of that. ? So Im guessing that Abraham and Isaac didnt come before Jesus now?

Im just glad the Sox are doing well. I still can remember when this thread went up, it took a lot of restraint to keep myself from ripping a lot of the posters. But the great part about a message board is you cant runaway from your past statements. There are a few other threads that I laugh about.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 01:31 PM) Explain to me how the physical marital act between same sex couples can procreate life. Explain to me what marriage has to do with a biological process? Sex has nothing to do with marriage. I wish not being married meant you couldnt procreate, that would really make my life easier.

I dont like Dr. Pepper and Id let someone pay me to have sex with women. As long as they were reasonably attractive.

I only watch sporting events on ESPN, no talking heads.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 01:10 PM) Marriage started because creation of a life depended on it. No it doesnt. Marriage started as a way for males to own females. Can you name another species that has marriage? Also if we are going by history, doesnt oldest culture win? It was quite accepted for men to have sex with men in Greece, far before the advent of Christianity. And Im pretty sure Alexander the Great had multiple wives, so were cool with polygamy as well?

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 08:48 AM) So you're basically just recapping what NBC showed in primetime? No mention of the cycling time trials or the basketball or soccer action? Yep, it is only about NBC Primetime coverage. Part of the recap is how NBC is screwing the Olympics.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 09:47 AM) My firm sorta laughs at the guy because his "food strike" is never more than a day or two old. Well the FBI has been raping his wife for the last 7 years.

Life isnt fair. For thousands of years if you even were remotely anti-Christian the punishment may have been death. It doesnt matter what other people do, no one is going to fight your battles for you. Do I really think Rush Limbaugh would support me opening an abortion clinic across the street from a Church? No, so Im not going to worry about him, I have to fight my own battles. So if you think hes attacking Christianity, go for it, show the world why he is a fool. That is the punishment for idiocy. But you cant expect other people to get involved.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 10:50 PM) Of course not. If CFA refuses to serve gays or will not hire gays then they should be run out of town. But that's not the case apparently. Rush is upset at these government officials for saying a business is not welcome and all they had to go on is the CFA owner's stance on biblical marriage. WTF is wrong with biblical marriage anyway? It's how you and I got here. Okay first of all, I showed you the actual quote, Rush makes a living by distorting the truth. It doesnt matter what Rush thinks happened, it matters what actually happened. And what is wrong with biblical marriage? Nothing, who here is saying that 2 straight people cant get married?
