"So F'ing What"

ssf467-that comment is just so wrong !! I almost feel sorry for you,with that type of outlook you probably need our prayers instead of adding to your negativity.

Your Country is dying and your talking about an over paid actors death and the Broncos. I will refrain from hurting feelings.
Did any of you bother to email or pick up a phone to voice an opinion on nationalizing bad debt? Loaning GMC 25 billion dollars which will just be printed? China telling it's banks not to loan the US money. An illegal war in Iraq. An executive branch with total power over a sheep like Congress. Or was it just easier ignore your country being torn apart from with in? Yes Paul Newman's greatness is much easier to swallow.

Why don't you sit in your room with the lights off festering about the state of the world and spare the rest of us from your toxic existence? [Swim]

It's not a requirement to piss in every thread at the communal watering hole.

I agree with SSF... nuff said. Although my supporting someone else who has seen the light probably doesn't have much weight here seeing as I get timeout bans for speaking my opinion ;)

At the end of the day people will always gravitate towards trying to ignore problems for as long as they can until it hits them in the face. Sports and other things like TV shows are a good medium for distraction and keeping the general crowd happy. See Rome and the shows at the coliseum as an example.

(I have attempted to be purely educational and non-argumentative, I even looked toward roman history.)

I started this thread to mourn the passing of an actor i grew up with.
sure there are major issues confronting us in this country, but hey for a breif minute there was something else to distract us.

A truly great man in a time of mediocre men. Actor, Philanthropist, Racer, Family man. I'll miss him.

As for the off-topic posts, I vote the mods simply delete them.

I did hijack this and I apologize for my actions.

Thank you.
