What do you do to contribute to the above social problems?

I'm a Soldier. You're welcome.

I'm a Soldier. You're welcome.

That is an honorable choice you made and I think you for it.

[SuperiorDG]

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


I don't want what's theirs. I don't want them to give what they have to others. Please tell me how I'm like a socialist again?

From Wikipedia:

"A socialist economic system would consist of an organization of production to directly satisfy economic demands and human needs, so that goods and services would be produced directly for use instead of for private profit driven by the accumulation of capital. Accounting would be based on physical quantities, a common physical magnitude, or a direct measure of labour-time in place of financial calculation.[5][6] Distribution of output would be based on the principle of individual contribution."

What you say is wrong about the NFL is that they make too much for playing a game and that what they do has no social value and therefore does not meet your standard of individual contribution. Also what they choose to do with their time is wrong.

Please re-read what you wrote with an open mind to what socialism stands for.

You get a pass, rant away! At least until you get home safely. Then you become fair game

Having worked very closely with 2 NFL quarterbacks in my past (Steve Young and Joe Montana) I can tell you that they are very very intelligent and incredibly business savvy.

Nobody likes a name dropping "jock-sniffer" as we say in hockey

I was kind of hoping this would be more replacement-ref bashing

When I'm sitting at my little desk pondering what's REALLY important in life, football is something that I think could have never existed... with no real consequence.

I'll be home before my Larue Rifle gets built. You all will be informed when both happens.

You're all also allowed to come to my welcome home ceremony...even you, DG.

I like watching the off-season of teh NFL.. I think it's called Court TV....

Nice name-dropping.

Perhaps, but it exists because of capitalism and therefore has value to someone.

I'll make sure you never buy your own beer.
