actually I don't have to believe it, it is on record in this thread. I said "don't ask me why" people hold athletes as roll models. clearly indicating that I do not. Meaning you are wrong, in saying I did.Jaekus wrote:

Was that really all you could come up with for a response to my post? I mean doesn't it make sense?, you wear your seatbelt, not because you think you are going to die in an accident, but because you realize shit happens and you are enough of a realist to understand it can happen to you?
Same with CCW.

It would perennially be the worst team in the NFL. It would sure be funny to see an all white team on the field though. Who was the last white cornerback? Jason Sehorn? He suckedDBBrinson1 wrote:

I wouldn't. I hate Rush, but business is business. If he's got the money and the current owners are willing to sell it to him, it's no one else's business.DBBrinson1 wrote:

THey are free agents precisely because they are loyal to money first. If Rush paid more than the others, they would play for him. Again most players, there are some that have chosen city or fan loyalty over money.JohnG@lt wrote:

No, they are free agents because their contract expired and they haven't been hit with the franchise tag.lowing wrote:

The notion that players sign where ever the money is being offered most is ridiculous and has never been true with the majority of athletes.

Well I must say that is a relief to us all since he was the most prolific in use of inflammatory rhetoric. For that matter I doubt Palin knows any terrorists or attends their parties. For the record it was the left who took this tragedy and tried to use it in a vile underhanded polerizing partisan attack, When they failed it became about "working together " IE not holding them accountable. This very thread fallows the pattern and time line almost exactly.Turquoise wrote:
Um... I'm pretty sure Obama would agree with you. I think he wants to encourage people to tone the rhetoric down, but as you can see, he's not blaming any side for this attack.Kmar wrote:
Blaming the left or the right is pretty fucking stupid. Why aren't we seeing hundreds of these killings going on if rhetoric is to blame? Obviously there was little logic going on in loughner's brain. He began shooting indiscriminately. Do you know what that means? His mental wiring was all wrong. (note: i am not making a case for insanity) Anyone who has studied the mind of a psychopath knows that ANYTHING can set them off. Yes, there are some people who are motivated by extreme politics. But that does not mean extreme politics is to blame. There are others that hear the rhetoric of extreme politics and they don't kill people. How do you explain that? I read a book once about the Son of Sam. In it they described how just seeing a woman walking down the street would send him into a killing spree. Are we supposed to stop all women from walking down the street? Look at this guys history. He was all kinds of threatening for all kinds of reasons.
Both sides have used irresponsible language in the past. I think it is deplorable. Not because it is sending people into a shooting spree, but because it is polarizing us as a nation.
Oh I am sure, it is never about money with professional athletes huh? WowPoseidon wrote:
