Yeah makes you wonder why everyone doesn't have one as well. Maybe then we could finally cash in all those chips and get a color blind society.
I think you not catching the irony of my ignorant comment is so beyond so beyond funny, Timing. you're like a riddle wrapped inside a mystery wrapped inside an *******.
The idea that talking about racism contributes more to it than the source for the talk sure seems to be a head in the sand perspective. If we decided to stop talking about harassment and child abuse I guess they would go away too? Racism would go away if people wouldn't pass on their prejudices to their kids. I don't know how much knowing this truism is constructive though.
Timing & Chievous: To quote the Simpson's... Why don't you BOTH shut up! Neither of you are adding anything to the discussion by acting like fools. Let it go.
why is this issue so personally meaningful to you, Timing? I'm really asking. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you. why do you consistently react so vociferously to issues of race? I don't know your ethnicity. is your ethnicity why you are so interested in the subject? I'm just curious to know. even if we can't agree on the relative merits of the University of Texas defense from the 2001 season, could you please just answer my honest question? is there something in your personal history that has caused this issue to be a passionate one for you?
I felt I was adding a bit until clique minniefield accosted me from bizarro land, not exactly the first time from him but hopefully the last. Now we can't defend ourselves Jeff? I can't wait to see that in action.
Timing: I freakin' agree with you, so chill! What bothers me is not defending yourself. That's fine. However, when you guys decend into name calling, it just becomes stupid. Both of you need to stop posting, take a deep breath and start over. Your obvious anger towards one another is fueling what COULD be an interesting and inciteful discussion. Instead, it has just become some grudge match and it makes you both look ridiculous.
You need to vote in the Elite Eight Hot Chicks thread, man. Portman is still alive. Didn't mean to interrupt...carry on, but let me go get some popcorn!
I have no opinion on Timing one way or t'other, but come on, Jeff. You've got to admit that little zinger was *really* f*cking funny. Rock on, chievous...
Hey that was pretty good of chievous as reading that now does elicit a chuckle. He's the best....party on, dude
Denzel did it with more class, he said that Race had nothing to do with it, and when asked, he said (and I am paraphrasing) "Did race have anything to do with Gary Neuman being nominated 16 times before winning?" THAT IS THE RIGHT ATTITUDE FOR ALL OF US !!! DD
