    You know, I remember when someone could express their opinion on this site without someone criticizing them and comparing them to Maobama, or saying that they might as well be a socialist because what they said didn't match the textbook definition of "capitalist" or "American Patriot" or whatever. I guess I figure that we're all entitled to our opinions, and I just get tired of people's opinions being held up to someone's "Is This Correct?" litmus test.

    I mean, wow, a line by line rip of someone's post, while you tell them how wrong they are and that it is only their opinion? Yup, it's his opinion. I think SuperiorDG has a hell of a lot of gall ripping him line by line like that. TheBelly has the right to his opinion just like anyone else does. Do you have the right to rip his opinion? Yeah, you do. Just shows a lack of class, in my opinion (just wanted to throw that in there so it's clear that IT'S MY OPINION) and just because you have the right to do something doesn't always mean you should.

    Seriously, dissecting his post because you claim he's "completely wrong" over FOOTBALL?? And then we have "If you don't like football, don't watch! To some of us it's the greatest game ever invented!"...how about, if you don't like or agree with the OP's opinion, don't tell him he's wrong for it. I enjoy watching football, occasionally. And hockey. But (here it comes again) in my opinion Football, Baseball, Hockey, Basketball, and whatever other major league sports have fans that leave and breathe the sport are simply the opiate of the masses; there to keep the mobs satiated and from spending their time thinking about other things.

    I'm just tired of seeing people getting ripped for expressing their opinions. It's OK to disagree with others' opinions, I mean hell, opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one and they all stink. But to sit there and tear into them point by point over an opinion about something like football? Uncouth.

    I agree! Watched the Arizona/Steelers Super Bowl game in AFG and two hours later had a little more to worry about than losing a $10 bet on that game. Hint: we had a rocket attack.

    Went to the Broncos game yesterday, was upset that we lost for about 5 min then back to normal. It's amazing when you think about it what it really does in the long run for you... Provides a little entertainment, then back to living YOUR life. I couldn't really care any less who wins the super bowl this year... if it's us, great, if not, whatev's. Like TheBelly, I've got bigger things to worry about.
    Stay safe over there bro! Keep your brain basket down and watch your six!

    He put his opinion out there, I put mine, and you put yours. That's why we come here and give our opinions, right? Don't get upset if this is what happens.

    I wouldn't waste my time getting "upset" by your opinion...or by your right to it. I simply think that the manner in which it was done was unnecessary; you seemed to take a lot of effort to refute his opinion with your own in a high-handed manner. Yours isn't necessarily more "right" than his. And neither is mine.

    I took this road because I was sure someone would ask me to clarify my statement:

    "I'm sorry but you are completely wrong and your thinking is socialist and reminds me of the crap BO is putting out."
