I just hope he finds out where that savings of $2500 the average family was going to enjoy under Obamacare

Big Girl- where are you on this?

Dove, in one of the other threads, a copy of the transfers from the DIstrict to the personal account of one of those who pleaded guilty was displayed.  Is that sufficiently 'the complete story" for that individual?

    Kind of like Orenthal James?

  I believe that also makes Donald Sterling a murderer

    You can overdose on anything, including water (which is supposed to be good for you) My hope is that Mr. Sam got drafted based on his ability to play football and not because of his sexual orientation. My other hope is that his the "emotional" side of this news be omitted. I do not see a benefit to society for this type of reporting just as I did not see the benefit to society for having gay marriage ceremonies on the Oscars or halftimes of televised national sporting events. When those that "fall in love with an animal" demand more equal and fair treatment, will it be necessary for the nation to view their methods of affection?

    My concern is that political correctness, carried to the extreme degree, is going to be our downfall.

  You are too late Dove. PamFam10 and BigGirl are ahead of you. I traded in a car of mine last week. I am not going to reveal the color of it. If I did, it would cause a major furor. (even though I replaced it with an identical exterior)

Ahhh, yes, now we have the "thought" police

Compassion at its finest

I doubt that any pro player relies on  government.  You simply don't understand my point and lets leave it at that.  I am one of those guys who refuses to be bullied into" proving" that he is not racist because I resent the " assumption" that I am and that I have to say or do something to prove I am not.  Yes, this thread is about a gay black who was drafted into the NFL.  However, some posted their feelings( not me) that it doesn't need to be "shoved down their throat" by the media.  Do you "get" that?

It was a slap at society in general.  Why don't you go ahead and explain how my comment was racist?

WHy didn't the jury come to that conclusion?

IF you don't already understand the purpose, it will do no good to try to explain it.  Perhaps some others on this board might want to interpret for you.  You might wish to exercise caution when throwing out the racist accusations particularly when you don't grasp the context in which something was written.  But if you are truly offended, you should complain to the moderators.

Are you saying I will be turned down if I try to buy the LA Clippers?

If there any guys that were drafted who are white, straight, believe in God,  do not expect the government to take care of them, and do not view themselves as victims, I would like to offer my congratulations to them for making it in spite of very difficult circumstances.

  Which documents the fact that the media is in the tank for the current administration.

This administration seems to be enchanted with having academicians rather than those with real life experience/knowledge.

I am sure we will hear how Zimmerman is somehow connected to Donald Sterling.

    You are right but to many people, that doesnt matter.

As I explained to Bullets, I simply wanted his opinion on the subject I asked him about rather than starting a new thread.

come on, you already know the answer(s) Bush, Tsunami, Video, Racism, Republican conspiracy.
