How, one might ask, did close-mindedness get such a bad rap? It's the tyranny of the majority, dear reader. You see, idiots vastly outnumber clear-thinking souls like ourselves. A moment's reflection will make this clear. Think, for example, of intelligent design theory, evolutionary psychology, and Star Wars missile defense. We are awash in a flood of filtered, purified drivel that erodes our ability to think critically and leaves us gasping for rational exposition. The loonies are everywhere, demanding our attention in a compulsive need to spread their viral stupidity. They don't want you questioning the rationality of their ravings. They don't want you pointing out obvious logical flaws. No! When we rightfully blow them off they decry our haughtiness and froth over our unreasoning hatred of different points of view. In this manner they have fought to make discretion unfashionable and dragoon otherwise reasonable individuals into hearing them out.

Re: NAACP: Vick Should Return to NFL
He is so open minded that anyone who questions him is an idiot, he is so openminded he insults someone for eating meat??
You took the whole PETA, let animals go free concept??? Holy Shit you are extremely open minded, way to think for yourself.
Picture this, dogs are pack animals, they actually were domesticated because they hung around the camps and fed off the scraps and we developed a symbiotic relationship. We neuter them because they end up having too many that go wild and it is not good for them, they end up dying in the streets and many feel it is more humane to stop having them. If you want to site PETA crap why don't you mention the many people they have sanctioned killing and injurying in the name of animal justice. In fact Peta euthanizes a higher % of animals than all Humane Societies in America.
AND if you have heard the report, he is also in trouble for CONSPIRACY, which means he set up a gambling ring centered around dog fighting. He would have gotten the same sentence for hosting illegal fights between people, fighting goldfish, or ostriches. The public outrage is that he purposely and willfully killed and tortured the dogs who did not fight well. They were not injured dogs he was putting out of their misery, they were dogs that would not make him money.
Go smoke more weed, we all get it, your cutting edge cool.

Re: NAACP: Vick Should Return to NFL
You just reminded me of the episode of "That 70's show" where they are all high around the table and decide to record their thoughts while high, because they were so good.
I will let you figure out how the recording sounded.

I bet it sounded extremely clever. The open-minded thought process likely allowed them to commune with nature and provided a greater understanding of the world around us.

I hate to admit the probable truth of this, but I'm willing to bet that if Vick was white, he'd get zero support for going back to the NFL.

Probably not. But then it wouldn't be the man oppressing him that put him out of the NFL either. Regardless of what his contract said.Sargeras wrote:I hate to admit the probable truth of this, but I'm willing to bet that if Vick was white, he'd get zero support for going back to the NFL.

K I'll buy a gun and kill some deer and eat them instead. All better? Asshole.
As soon as you start taking the fawn from its mother as soon as its weaned. Then spend the next several years torturing and training the deer to have a killer instinct. Then pit it in a vicious fight against another animal until it either dies or kills the other animal. Then either fix it up or kill it by strangling and/or drowning it. Then you can start equating deer hunting with dog fighting you stupid punk. Obviously what you are learning there isn't teaching you any common sense fucktard.

Oooh.. Oooh. Ooh. We're back to the vicious fighting deer. Kickass!

This is the deer that you have to compete against with your trained fighting deer Leonard.

Re: NAACP: Vick Should Return to NFL
I guess he is right in one sense. Rafer Alston was arrested twice this month for assalt and last night for stabbing someone and their is no outrage that I see.
That is worse then what Vick did and no one seems to be caring nearly as much.

Because Rafer Alston is a second or third string guard who makes less than the average NBA salary.That is worse then what Vick did and no one seems to be caring nearly as much.
Nobody cares because unless you live in a city where Rafer Alston has played, you have no fucking idea who he even is.
If Rafer Alston were in the NFL, his name would be Mike Gandy.

I have no clue who Rafer Alston is. I might google him later, but I probably won't.

He's a point guard in the NBA.
The only reason I know his name is because he played a few unremarkable years with the Raptors.

Re: NAACP: Vick Should Return to NFL
There is outrage. It is just not covered 24/7 by news because no one knows who he is and because news outlets are irritating asshats who can only cover one story at a time and make you want them to die in fiery crashes.Tyek wrote:I guess he is right in one sense.

Actually, if they would just continue to refer to Alston as "Skip 2 My Lou", as he was known in the And1 Mixtapes, a lot more people would probably know who he was.
