Well, all of this could have been avoided... Don't go to parties. Don't do drugs.
I thought of another key difference - no one gives a fuck about you or what you do in your spare time Would I take a picture of you at a party? Only if you if you were a hot chick in some advanced stage of undress. Or you were a legendary Olympic champ...Parker wrote:

sorry man, but i do business out in the real world, and i dont need pictures of me using drugs out there for anyone to see.
thats just common sense.
i thought you would have known that.
Um but you've posted your pictures here on bf2s along with videos of you firing guns. You've admitted to smoking pot among other things. You even use your full real name and link in your profile to your website.Parker wrote:

A photo is one thing several thousand post admitting to various things along with multiple shows of proof is another.
Is your picture going to make the front page of a newspaper as a result of your actions? Didn't think so. "Derek Parker smoke's pot at a party. Story on A14". That's my point; no one = the public.Parker wrote:

its possible, but HIGHLY unlikely that someone would go that far to find out.

there could very well be a time where finding a picture of me using drugs could make someone a good amount of money.
aim high man.
Haha. That reminds me of a friend of mine who was an aspiring politician. My friends and I used to tell him that if he ever ran for president we would bust out the pictures from college parties. He told us straight-faced that he would have us killed.Parker wrote:

My point is that you aren't important enough to warrant people following you around and taking your picture. You smoking out of a bong isn't as interesting as Michael Phelps doing it. I guess it's his bad for not hiding in a closet while he was toking up.

Admitting to using and selling LSD
All I had to put into the search was "I used to sell drugs"
Calculated risk, eh seems like a rather unnecessary one.
and my point is that, at some point in my life i could be important enough for that to come back and bite me in the ass.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

hide in a closet, delete pictures, only do it in private or with close friends...whatever works for him.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

personally, i remain vigilant and make sure no one is around with cameras when/if i smoke in public.
i know the great ken-jennings doesnt care, but people do take pictures of me from time to time.

too bad phelps couldnt do that with his picture
my point is that this isnt concrete evidence that i smoke pot....at least, not like a picture.
this is all text through the internet. anyone can manipulate anything.
i know you are really trying to make a point with this, but i already told you; it is a calculated risk.
your opinion of that risk matters none to me.

My ability to navigate archives was defeated by a simple delete stroke. My quick acting may have very well damned humanity or saved it.
Either way, I'll leave...back to DST.

BRB Regaining honor
great, now US Swimming suspends him for 3 months. Fuck Phelps is bank enough he should just have his own competitions.

Anyways, marijuana cant be that bad for you if the baddest man in swimming does it, but of course, everyone else already knows that, imagine if NBA players (far more viewers as far as i can tell) suspended its players 3 months? Thats like half their players. Did Phelps fail a drug test? Should have just said it was tobacco tbh

Agreed, especially if you're a sportstar like him. If you're going to do it, god damn it, make sure the shitty paparazzo don't manage to get a snap of you doing it. Hell, I'm sure most of us only do it out of the public eye (parties don't count) just in case we might get caught, and we're all Joe Nobody. So for him to do it without thinking about getting caught, kinda dumb if you ask meParker wrote:

Kellogs doesnt plan to renew his sponsorship at the end of feb...like i said earlier in the thread; a bad decision that is now costing him money.

losing one of his biggest sponsors and being suspended from competition in the same day....i bet hes just peachy right now
I don't know who his sponsors are or who's the biggest, but I'd imagine he's more pissed off at not being able to compete. At least, if I was making 10 million a year and I lost 3 million, a lot of money as it may be, I think I could continue to live quite comfortably on that.Parker wrote:

In any case, it's not like Kelloggs really had a choice; they're a lot more family orientated than Speedo, or whatever swimming brands he uses.
the media will do their best to keep this story in the news and try and ruin him... it's what they do best... Wow a 23 year old smoked pot... and apologized... The guy is the fastest swimmer in the world... imagine if he didn't do bong hits... lol
and i don't smoke myself... but i have bartended long enough to see drunk retards are more of an issue than someone who is baked... never had to tackle and restrain a stoned guy on a busy Friday night... lol

bottom line;
he fucked up.
he is an idiot for getting his picture taken while smoking marijuana.
you would have thought that having to apologize for driving drunk would have taught him the first time around.
but since he didnt, he is now being punished professionally and financially.
maybe he will get it THIS TIME.
I didn't hear about him getting caught drunk driving. I find that a lot worse than getting caught smoking. By the look of the photo though, he clearly didn't know that it was being taken. I'm sure he didn't want any photos of it. Had he been caught posing with a bong, I'd agree about him being an idiot.Parker wrote:
