I love how you emphasize head banging and running around. You apparently have never taken the opportunity to actually watch an NFL game. There is more strategy in five minutes of American Football than there is in an entire Soccer match. And the NFL players don't flop around like dead chickens every five seconds like soccer players do.
Not to mention that in Latin America, Baseball is just as big if not bigger as a sport than even in the US nowadays. Hell, the US isn't even the dominate international baseball team anymore, I'd argue to say that many of the teams in Central and South America could easily handle us as half of the MLB players come from those areas.
The Super Bowl is I believe the second most watched sporting event in the world after the World Cup, and Basketball is a huge sport in Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America. But most geeks on/. assume since they suck at sports, then those sports are gay and no one likes them. Poor butt hurt/.ers
I was being gracious to soccer fans. Beckham is a pussy and wouldn't last 10 minutes in a real sport. Hell, I'd bet some of these Starcraft Korean geeks could take him in an alley brawl.
In other news, so does every other god damn A-List athlete on this planet in every sport known to man. I'm sure even the curling guys are getting pussy.
Boxing is all but dead, bro. Anyways, pretty much any MMA guy (not that I like MMA, hate it actually) could beat the fucking shit out of almost any boxer currently fighting. And while I am not a Lebron fan (Spurs fan since 93, Tim Duncan is the fucking man), the guy is on ads all over the place so what this tells me is you don't have cable or are just jerking my chain. But I will agree he's nowhere near the athlete that MJ was, although to say he's a suckwad when he nearly single handedly got his team to an NBA Finals Series (in which my Spurs swept his team in 4 games) I think would disqualify him from suckwad status. If you are going to talk basketball, at least pretend you know what the fuck you are talking about. I love how you profess this profound knowledge of basketball and then in the same breath comment that you have not watched a sporting event of any type in 10 years with the exception of boxing. That pretty much makes you unqualified to comment as to whether he's a suckwad or not, eh? Go back to your boxing, loser.
Like I said, there does need to be a differentiate between what constitutes a violent rape act and something that is only considered rape or a sex offense because of a technicality. Just like the issue with the young football player from Georgia that had been put in jail because he had consensual statutory rape with a girl that was barely under the age limit but he himself was also a minor at the time. I do think sometimes we lose our focus as to what constitutes rape, but really, if it's a through and through rape, seriously who gives a fuck about trying to make them a better citizen. They took a woman's life away. Boo fucking hoo if we take theirs away too.
Lebron James is pretty much the current poster boy for basketball in not only the US but the World. The only guy on the same level currently is honestly Kobe Bryant (and Shaq but to a much lesser extent than he used to be). Pretty much he's the Basketball equivalent of Peyton Manning (except without even the one Super Bowl ring or the hilarious commercials).
I do think they need to differentiate based on what type of offense (such as statutory rape) but honestly if it's a violent rape crime, I say fuck it, lock em up until their name would expire from the list anyways. I've known women who've been raped in a violent matter and 20 years later, trust me, they don't forget. Why let the dick fuck who did it to them off easy either? We've become a nation of PC pussies, to be quite honest. It's the one thing I think the Islamic Nations have actually done better than us. They make sure people go out of their way not to commit these sorts of crimes, because of the insane (but usually appropriate) punishments. Fuck a woman who didn't want you to fuck her. Death by stoning, motherfucker. Too bad the one thing they get right they still manage to fuck up by also punishing the rapee half the time too.
Dude that's like polar opposite of the US. We get daily updates in the newspapers of DUI arrests, Battery and Assault arrests, and if you are a pedophile, you might as well hand out business cards with all of your pertinent info to everyone you ever meet because they'll see it all online anyways.
I don't know, after watching The Blindside, Michael Oher kind of seems like a good role model to me. I don't know how true to life the movie was, but if it's even half true, I'd say he's a good person to model your own kids after.
I seriously hope you guys are just being facetious. Not that I like 'bron, but he's pretty much as big now as MJ was back in the day. The dude has as many fans in China as Beckham probably has in the rest of the world (although he probably doesn't have near as many fans as Yao Ming, who is pretty much to the Chinese what MJ was to Americans). Seriously, if you don't know who Lebron is you either don't know what the fuck basketball is, are just making shit up, or are a borderline retard.
I'll admit sometimes we do that too, but what's really nice is when we can get a grandparent to watch the kids and enjoy a movie at home. Then it's the best of both worlds. But I hear ya, I really do. Sometimes you just gotta get away from all the shit at home.
Drop a bomb on the shit and start over. That's honestly the only truly effective way. Short of that, citizens need to start getting their heads out of asses, do some real research on the actual issues that matter, and then not vote based on a letter next to a name. I'm a registered Republican (although I consider myself closer to a Libertarian) but I'll vote in an Ind. or Dem. over a Republican candidate if they are honestly a better choice. Shit, did it last elections with our Sheriff, since the Republican incumbent was a douche bag among douches who liked to throw his power around with local business owners. And sure enough, the man lost his job and the new Sheriff is reigning in spending by the local county SO and actually doing some good. Funny how sometimes politics (on rare occasions) actually works for the people.
LCD TV = $1200 TV Stand (Real Wood) = $350 (got a killer deal but still) PS3 for Blu-Ray, DVD, and of course omgarshgames = $249.99 Bose 3 Speaker system (since the TV is located in a small room that works well without needing a huge 8 speaker setup) - $499
So overall, it ended up costing about $2300. Okay so on my last post, I said less than 2 grand. I was off by about $300 or so dollars (which pretty much constitutes the TV stand). And it was a high end LCD at the time, not some cheap pos LCD.
Dude, the setup I described cost a total of less than 2 grand including the TV Stand (real wood) that the TV is sitting on (since I'm personally not a huge fan of wall mounting).
Too many people with Hi-Def big screens and HiFi sound systems at home today.
Very true. Was just having this discussion with my wife yesterday. What's better, going to see a movie at the theater where there may or may not be loud screaming kids, obnoxious young adults who feel like they own the place and will act the way they want regardless of how it affects your enjoyment of the movie, and people who decide they have to keep their cell phones on regardless of all of the insistence of theater staff to please silence or turn them off, or staying at home with a smaller big screen (but relatively speaking, still about the same size versus the distance from the screen you are located) with a good sound system that does well in your relatively smaller space with closer walls to reverb off of, all while enjoying the comforts of your home and none of the garbage you have to put up with (both metaphorically and literally speaking) at a public theater. Nowadays, I just wait til it's out on Blu-Ray or DVD and rent it off of netflix. My netflix subscription costs about the same as one 3D movie ticket per month and I don't feel like someone is bending me over and reaming me for it. Went to see Alice in 3D. Not only was it a crappy movie, but we threw down at least 40 bucks between tickets and refreshments when we could've waited for it to hit Blu-Ray, and then just wasted a few days that it would've taken to receive the movie, watch it and realize it was crap, and return by mail to netflix all while giving it zero stars so that we never get suggested it or anything closely resembling it again.

At least someone in this motherfucker made me laugh today. Kudos to you my man.
Translation, your country fucking sucks at Basketball.

As popular as SC is, if they'd have put loot in, that'd be even cooler. They could call it Warcraft III. I'm gonna copyright that. Oh wait...
Try cheating in D&D and you'll find that you only cheat yourself.
Thank you for that public service announcement. Remember kids, stay in school!

First Name. There, said it, whatcha gonna do about it

They were fornicating with a wicked Tape Drive (because what else are you going to do with that tape drive nowadays?)
I seriously hope you guys are just being facetious. Not that I like 'bron, but he's pretty much as big now as MJ was back in the day.

Seriously, if you don't know who Lebron is you either don't know what the fuck basketball is, are just making shit up, or are a borderline retard.
Also a good point, but knowing my luck it'd be that one day for me. I have that kind of luck, unfortunately.
I'll admit sometimes we do that too, but what's really nice is when we can get a grandparent to watch the kids and enjoy a movie at home. Then it's the best of both worlds. But I hear ya, I really do. Sometimes you just gotta get away from all the shit at home.

Must be the DVD Writer. I've only ever had two DVD-R's with read errors and both times it was my own fault.
LCD TV = $1200
TV Stand (Real Wood) = $350 (got a killer deal but still)
PS3 for Blu-Ray, DVD, and of course omgarshgames = $249.99
Bose 3 Speaker system (since the TV is located in a small room that works well without needing a huge 8 speaker setup) - $499

But can I get the book in 3D?
