Superbowl - Colts Win

Man, I turn my back for two seconds. And when I get back people are propagating the sucking of nuts and saying phrases in languages I don't understand other than the words "pendejo" and "homosexual". Football is indeed a violent sport.:hehehe:
 
Wow, so this is probably how Washington works too. Start a friendly conversation on a sport and next thing you know the mud slinging starts on something totally different. No wonder nothing gets done. Everyone is too busy listening to their own voice.
Now as to Football, I like my Saints and I like the way they played to win. The 4th and 2 yards at the end of the second quarter and going for the touchdown instead of a field goal and the very brave onside kick at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Now that's football. :thumbsup:

I couldn't agree more with EVERYTHING you said.

I did root for the Colts but I was happy for the Saints. The onside after the half plus the mistakes Manning made just didn't make them competitive. They blew a lot of opportunities and the Saints played terrific football.

In the pregame show a close game with scores in the 20's was predicted by the analysts. I thought it would be a high scoring game. Shows what I know. :rolleyes:

I'm not a big fan of either team but CONGRATS to the Saints.:thumbsup: They played smart, we really want to win, football. That onside kick, genius.:dancer01:

So you lose respect for a man that asks you a question or challenges your belief system, and you respond with vulgarities? You're awful angry there dude, but usually what happens when a nerve gets touched. I asked a question based on what you wrote, your response speaks volumes. You must spend a lot of time being angry at the world and everyone in it.

Nope, actually I am not angry at the world, just can't stand dumbasses. I believe racist people fall in that category. You (while I have not seen anything racist from you specifically) definetly fall into the dumbass category. I lost respect for you because you chose to try and twist my statement into a racist one. I pointed out facts, and by that you called me racist. That sir is unacceptable. You don't know me, my family, or the make up of my friends. You are actually pretty lucky that I had time to cool off and was not within sight of you when you called me racist. Only low life thugs with a lack of self respect have to try and demean other people by declaring that someones actions are racist without proof. The city did that to the government and you did that to me.

I stand by my assessment of your post and your subsequent reply has done nothing to change my opinion, to which I am entitled to, and to post about so long as the powers that be here allow it. You in turn sir are also entitled to the same things.

Yep, we all have opinions. The old saying goes that everyone has both an opinon and an asshole, both usually stink.

I do find it difficult to understand how the residents of New Orleans were being racist, but to each their own. For me it was not difficult to read between the lines of what you posted, for others maybe it was.
Click to expand...

It was very clear. The media plastered the coverage all over the place of the mayor and the governor saying that the federal government took their time to help the city because they were racist. I didn't say it, I just watched it. That in turn shows me how the city runs. My knowledge of the city has shown multiple times over that the residents as a whole echoed the same phrases the leaders did. There were various sound bites of people who were at the stadium and other places of refuge saying the EXACT SAME THING. They chose to ignore the order to leave, turned away the buses provided to them and then they cried foul when the whole thing bit them in the rear. Florida had their disaster relief squad on the state line ready to go but the LA Gov and the N.O. Mayor declined their services and help. Immediately after they declared that the world was ignoring them because the world was racist against a primarily black city. The other cities mentioned never stooped to the low level of throwing a race card into the mix just for effect. Unfortunately the poor judgement of the city now diminishes true complaints of racism that exist every day. Its the cry wolf theory.

MSN News article said:
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on Friday blamed racism and government bureaucracy for hamstringing his city's ability to weather Hurricane Katrina and recover from the disaster that struck the Gulf Coast nearly a year ago.

MSN News Article said:
Nagin, who earlier this year apologized after declaring New Orleans would again become a "chocolate" city, condemned federal regulations that discourage rebuilding in the largely black and low-lying Ninth Ward.

What's even more amazing is the fact that the loss of life and human suffering elicits such an angry response from you, seeing things from afar as opposed to actually being there are worlds apart. Sorry that I have a heart and care about my fellow human beings and I can over look things said in the moments of desperation and attempts at survival. I'll try and keep that in check.
Click to expand...

I am not angry over any loss of life or human suffering from a natural disaster as you try to say. Again you have blinders on and try to twist what I say. You must be a lawyer or politician the way you spin things.

I specifically stated that the city as a whole is racist. I cannot stand racism. Throwing the race card into the mix like the officials did followed by some retards such as Kanye West during the fund raiser simply disgusts me. I get tired of hearing any reference to race as an excuse for behavior. To say the government is racist is an inflamatory statement and it only seeks to gain favor by causing the recipients of the statement fear. The reverse racism is every bit as disgusting as the racism shown to the black people in the south in the 50's and 60's. There is NO REASON to make it a race issue, THE STORM WAS NEVER A RACE ISSUE.

The fact that the city is a majority racist is why I said in my original post that the Saints win is good for them, not good for the city that has been through so much. Good for the Saints, piss on the racists. No one has said that the Miami Dolphins should win to bring up the spirits of their neighbors in Homestead. If you haven't been down here to south FL lately you may be surprised to see that there is STILL visual remnants of the more serious hurricane that hit in August of 1992. It would be easy to claim racism here as the area is a huge mix of Hispanic, Black, and various Island countries. I did not hear Florida stoop to the level of N.O., and as a matter of fact NO OTHER AREA HAS STOOPED AS LOW.

Your twisting of my words to try and insinuate that I am racist shows a lack of etiquette on your part. You sir are a closed minded cretin who feels a need to throw accusations around without merit.

I am already tired of this thread and I took about three minutes to Google racism in New Orleans and one of the top responses is listed below. In the response (which is written by a journalist - not some "angry guy on a Corvette site") clearly shows Ray Nagin's racist views which were plastered all over the place after the storm.Even the man who was hired to help rebuild the city (Ed Blakely) left the job after saying that the city was so involved in racism that "race riots are likely soon".

Everyone’s a racist. It’s part of what we have in this country, but it’s deeper, more viral, more visible and more entrenched in New Orleans than any place I’ve ever seen.

Don't forget this is the man who Mayor Ray Nagin CHOSE to come to his city to rebuild. This man was a hand picked friend of the Mayor. To turn around and say something like this must mean that it is SO ENTRENCHED IN NEW ORLEANS THAN ANY PLACE HE'S EVER SEEN indicates that what I said was true. This man has been at the forefront of several natural disaster recovery operations to include the Bay Area California quakes. Are you going to call him racist too Bradley? He is an African American, so I doubt you will although you like to throw that around alot, remember the cry wolf story?

:toetap05::toetap05: FOOTBALL gentlemen....FOOTBALL!

(otherwise, we shut 'er down and move the pertinent posts to a new thread in the Ranting Room!)
 
We're a little different than most boards Bob.

The owner/admin believes in freedom of speech (even on a privately owned/held board) and allows everyone to air thier differences to a point.

Personal attacks are not welcomed.
When a thread starts to becomes personal, that's when we generally step in and say something.

It got off kilter early on with the whole Katrina thing:nonod:

Then the allegation of racism and the response.

I have to admit that I allowed it to get out of hand by responding to the Katrina post and not bringing it back to FOOTBALL.

But enough is enough. We're all friends here, and with all friends, sometimes we disagree, and sometimes we fight...but from what I've seen here over the years, we still have each others back when the chit hits the fan!

I wouldn't trade this group of folks or this board, for any other board or group I know!:thumbsup:

Not even for a new FORD ESCAPE:lmao::lmao:

Seriouly though, it's time to bring it back to the OP's topic...that being the SUPERBOWL.

Lets drop the other stuiff and if necessary to continue, either open a new thread or take it to PM please:thumbsup:

I agree Gordon and maybe didn't do a good job of stating my case. :shrug01: A thread should or could have been posted in the Rant section. Title: Is XXXX a raciest. Then they can go at it. Personal attacks or whatever direction they want to go. I also don't think Rich wants this and it's dis-respectful to him and his board.

It can be tough to make a decision where to draw the line and I feel you did a great job. You tried to clear the air which is what I would have done and it's not your fault it didn't work. Some folks can't take a hint.

I've been thinking about stealing your avitar (not undies) but you know where I live. :lmao:

Rich is pretty open minded and doesn't take offense as easily as some board owners/admins. I'm not going to speak for him, but just my own opinion, personal attacks should never be tolerated. There's no place for them other than face to face, phone or pm/email.

People do a great job here, policing themselves.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Lets let this rest and go back to football please.

Jim made the avatar for me, and it's stolen from some google search:lmao:Help yourself:yesnod:
 
Oh man.....Ray would have had FUN with this thread. Hey Gordon....how goes it? Don't drop in too often, but seems the forum is doing well.....:hehehe: Tell everyone hi for us.....maybe get together sometime down the road.

This is MY thread and I resent all the bullshlt. As Shadow just posted, it's about football. I also think anyone that wants to discuss race or racism is entitled to do so, but not in my thread.

I got no dog in this hunt but I'll give everyone a little advice. If you try to read between the lines you'll usually end up in a pizzing match.

This is Rich's board and we all owe him respect. This stuff is dis-respectful to him because this damn sure is not what he had in mind when he set this up.

One last thing. I am a super mod on Comp Plus and I would not tolerate this BS for a minute. I would not let anyone dis-respect that board or Bobby Bennett.

For all your pizzing and moaning about the thread being off topic you certainly became quite the hypocrite when you posted several more times about how people cant take a hint..... :rolleyes:

I thought you were insisting that the thread be about football, but I haven't seen any posts about that from you lately.... Mr Super Mod all mighty....
 
**sigh** I guess it's getting to be time to implement an official infraction system here to keep the personal attacks and slurs from getting out of hand.

Seriously guys, do you HAVE to get personal with derogatory slurs thrown at each other when merely typing out words on a keyboard?

Cease and desist, please. I would hate for myself and the mods to have to get "not nice" in order to keep this site "nice". :NoNo:
 
Z06

Z06, you have disabled PM's so I'll post.

Your boyfriend and yourself decided to turn a football thread into a race issue and a personal pissing contest.

Both of you show a lack of respect for this board, Rich, Shadow and all members. Not many want to read the garbage both of you have posted. Personally, if I was in charge you would be gone.

Your language shows a lack of education and a lack of self control. I would say you are a mental midget. My advice is that you should at least get a GED and also some professional help.

I will now place you on ignore so rant away.

EDIT

Well folks, the joke is on us! I tried to put this guy on my ignore list and got the following message:


Sorry Z06 Rocket is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!!

Hey Lady:wavey: It has been a while.
We'll be up in Ocala for business either this week or next depending onthe schedule. I'll take this to PM so keep a look out there.

I love a good argument :D

Back on topic, I still beleive it was in my top ten of the most boring Super Bowls ever.

Question, will either team make it back next year?

Cheers
Click to expand...

I didn't think it was all that boring, bu I'm not a big football fan anyway. I usually watch the Superbowl and sometimes some of the playoffs, but that's about it.
I wasn't surpised with the Colts making it. As far as next year? God knows? I never thought the BUC's would get there and look what they did?:thumbsup:

NO!

This is the LAST warning for everyone on this thread. We've all been overly patient (you WILL NOT find this level of patience elsewhere I might add) but it's running thin.

I really like everyone on this board and consider everyone here a friend.
As such, I've asked over and over that this childish bickering stop publicly. Rich has done the same.

I know the "Real mods" are laughing about this elsewhere, but that's just the way we prefer to play around here:thumbsup:

Please stop now. The next response, not related to the game, gets a short vacation.

Bitches, grips or suggestions relative to the matter, call, PM (if you can get through-they stay full) or email me.

Thanks
Gordon
