    can we pls keep this sht football here? these endless and circuitous discussions permeate the poly board weekly......religious discussions never go anywhere and lead to butthurt feelings usually on the part of people who cant understand why so many peopke are fucking tired of all these ",gods" vying for our atrention. 

    No.  I have posted 2 participatory threads on here the last few days that were both purely about football....and not a single chirp has been made in response to them, so it seems that talking football is not a subject for discussion much on here.....so if we have to talk about heaven and hel/hell.....so be it.  

    But I do understand about the religion thing.  People think that religion should be sacrosanct and that their religious views should never be questioned.  I say that a person's religious views are as subject to as much scrutiny as the next thing about them....their political views, their views on football, their views on sex, drugs, and rock n roll, etc. etc. etc.

    The reason I don't talk much about that subject is not because I   believe they should not be questioned...it is disinterest really....and deference.   Anyone CAN have whatever religious views they want. That is fine...and if I felt like questioning or challenging those, I would. Perhaps because I am completely tolerant of whatever anyone believes, I see no reason to "give them hell" over it.  I may engage in some factual discussion....like the concept of hell (which while I still maintain is not per se mentioned in the old or new testament...perhaps some concept of an equivalent domain is mentioned...after all, I know that Lucifer was sent to some underworld when he fell out with God). 

    But hey....the Dudeist in me says:   "Go with the flow"  "Be Cool" "Take it Easy"   about such matters.

    And hey...if you want to argue that Dudeism isn't a religion...that it is just something that came out of a movie, I say "Well, that's just like your opinion man".   Supposed legitimate religions may  have sprung up from not much more than that I would say.

    Thank Yah-wey I had already put down my tea before I read that.??

  • There are topics that shouldn't (can't actually) be discussed in the work place:

    Religion,  Politics, Abortion, Gun Control.........issues where people feel STRONGLY on either side....and no matter what you say you are NOT going to convince the other side to adopt your view.  What you'll get is someone who was walking by during the conversation going to HR because their little feelings were hurt by something that was said.   -  That's where society's at right now.

    I hear ya FFD.  I came in here posting about the Hunt thing; BUT found myself more interested in where the conversation went than the extended "nothing new to report" about Hunt.   That will probably go all the way to Roger Goodfella who ADORES playing Yah-wey with our dumb jocks like Josh Gordon.

    The reality this idiot was where he was at the time of night or morning with his current situation means he's never going to get it.   We heard the volumes of excuses for Josh Gordon, who's still getting suspended in the NFL's version of Camelot. 

    I don't remember worrying about Leroy Kelly, Greg Pruitt, and Mike Pruitt making dumb choices like Pac Man Jones any more than I have to worry about Chubb doing that.  Isn't that a big reason those guys were/are a lot easier to root for?

    Simple enough. It’s PC to be an idiot now. It wasn’t then.

    So you are politically correct then?

    Possibly, but only if you are a possibilian.  LOL!

  • If it should turn out that there is no hell or devil. I can tell ya that there is something just as mean at work here. And places just as horrible. 

  • Again.. It's a "RUMOR"

    Are you confusing this with Ghoolie's Facebook Nickers?

    It's not a rumor that this kid was where he shouldn't be especially at an hour he shouldn't be considering the situation he has already put himself in.  It's like giving a pyromaniac a box of matches and telling us not to worry because you told him to be careful.  Oh okay, phew!

    Exactly. And where do you find Garrett? In a weight room. He has never had a drop of alcohol in his life because of the way an older brother ruined his NBA career. In college he was unlikely to even get a ticket since he drove a really old Volvo.?

    You couldn't confuse the two if you tried...  If the kid fucked up.. then too bad for the kid... And really.. Too bad for everybody.. The best loved plans don't always workout.... We move on regardless...

    ...but do we move on WITH Duke or do we accept someone's offer at some point?   Hunt is another Wild Card type guy (like Gordon was a wild card).

    Duke is going nowhere, he's under contract. Until the dust on the latest Hunt miscue settles, Dorsey can't take chances Kareem will be available week 9.
