Sports are Good for You (In More Ways Than One)

[HugeFanOfBadReligion]

SensibleSportsman reminds me a little bit of Nick, who also posted a Crack link. Just a coincidence?

Yeah, and wasn't it SensibleSportsMan who suggested that someone "smoke a bowl and chill out" or something like that?

Anyway, the article you posted is just full of coincidental paradoxes. They could happen with anything else, and people still paid a loss for their gains in the article. The guy could have sold his blood to support his family instead of foolishly doing something to that extent just to watch his team play. The kid could have just avoided the fence and not pay a ridiculous amount of money for a jersey, his parents should have taught him to be more careful. The ref got bashed in the head. If he got a box of bricks dropped on his head, people wouldn't start talking about how it is convenient to clumsily walk around carrying boxes of bricks over their heads at a height that it could hurt someone. And I also did notice a bit of racism in that university graduation section too. And as dickfilthy said, why don't we go around smashing sports fans heads? They seem to think it's a good idea.

Of course I'm not seriously advocating that, I'm just pointing out that it is silly for someone to believe in that logic in the article. There are plenty more cases where sports have ruined lives.

That was SmartSportsPerson who used that "bowl" phrase. I think it was towards me. Personally I'd have liked to have seen his rank get changed to SPAMMER as well but I suppose it's not happening now Earl succeeded in getting through to him. Nicely done, Earl.

I do remember Nick posting up a link to an article on Cracked on this forum. But I don't think it's good enough evidence to suspect SensibleSportsman of being Nick. I hear Cracked's quite a popular site, and our long time member Lewis posted up a picture from that site here once to show how fans of the World Cup will always end up rioting no matter what the outcome of the game is.

But I still think SensibleSportsman should try and give us more of his own thoughts in his posts instead of just talking about Cracked. He's got past the one-liner post stage, as I saw on the last page of this thread, so now he can start picking out specific objections to the site and express himself fully. I don't think he's being clear enough here.

We're going to fight back and perhaps even start putting a few jocks in the morgue. ... You got that? Jimbo Bubbah Booey!!!

Fat Man, you've crossed the line again. Once again, you're talking about killing people. Have any sports fans or "jocks" talked about killing "nerds" at any sports forum? . . . etc. etc.

Sorry, you're right.

But I'm angry with the way things are going in the USA, especially in this redneck state of Texass!

In the Off Topic section, I made another post in my topic titled THOMAS JEFFERSON TO BE EXPELLED FROM TEXAS SCHOOLS!!! at: http://www.sportssuck.org/phpbb2/viewto ... f=7&t=4555

We have right-wing nut-jobs in our State Board of Education (Indoctrination) who wish to remove Thomas Jefferson from the history text books in our schools and put John Calvin up on a pedestal, a raving maniac and a viscous rabid dog who used torture on people who did not conform to his religious beliefs.

So, they despise Thomas Jefferson and they admire John Calvin! That's because Republicans and conservatives now believe in using torture, and had twice elected Bush who's administration had use torture on war prisoners.

TEXAS SUCKS! It is no longer a part of the USA anymore! It has already succeeded from the union.

No, not officially, but politically and ideologically, Texas has succeeded. I feel like I'm living in some third-world Banana Republic.

And they want to have creationism taught in our science classes, and some of these right-wing whack-jobs would prefer that science is not taught at all.

And now, we have some nut-case like NonsensicalSportsman who implie that getting hit on the head with a hockey stick is good for you.

OK, I guess I should have rephrased what I said, and predicting that some people might get pissed off enough to want to put some jocks in the morgue, instead of saying that we're going to do it.

I'm sorry, but I'm mad as Hell.

With all that is going on in this redneck donkey-fucking state, I feel like I'm getting my head bashed against a brick wall again.

I would hate like Hell to be a high school student in Texas right now. If I had been issued a history text book with Thomas Jefferson removed and John Calvin put in place instead, or a science text with any mention of Charles Darwin and evolution removed, I would probably be having an argument with the teachers, then I would probably get into some real trouble with the principal and perhaps getting my head bashed against a brick wall again.

What chance does a high school graduate in Texas have? What if he/she wants to pursue a career in science, and all he/she is learning is creationist fairy tales in the high school science classes?

High school students in Texas will only be able to get jobs bagging groceries or scrubbing toilets because they didn't learn jack-shit.

As far as I'm concerned, the people in the Texass Board of Indoctrination, they are murderers. They are killing the minds of students with their fairy tales and other mindless drek!

This is the stuff, violent and bloody revolutions are made of!

I'm merely making a prediction that it could happen. OK?

[Fat Man]

Oh! And here is some more good news!!!

Charles Kincade: Jindal's and Vitter's anti-science policies
June 19, 2010

It is indeed ironic that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and U.S. Sen. David Vitter, of Louisiana, are seeking the brightest minds in science and engineering to help extricate our state from the impending environmental disaster that has resulted from the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill.

The irony is because Jindal and Vitter have built their careers by pandering to large anti-science constituencies in our state. And while this pandering has brought political and electoral success to both Jindal and Vitter, it will condemn our students to instruction in junk science and dumb down public school curricula. It already has brought our state national ridicule. And, most importantly, it will, unless changed, render us and future generations unable to deal with future challenges, which will increasingly be more scientific and technical in nature.

In 2008, Jindal supported and signed an anti-science bill that many believed to be a stealth creationism bill. That bill, which became the Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA), was a thinly veiled effort to permit the teaching of religious creationism in the science classroom alongside evolution. The bill was roundly criticized by the scientific community. In fact, one of the nation's most respected scientific groups, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB), took the unusual step and boycotted Louisiana due to the anti-science measure and held its annual convention in Utah instead of New Orleans.

The LSEA was condemned in a cover story in the January 2009 edition of Scientific American by Glenn Branch and Eugenie C. Scott. In that article, the authors conclude that because of the Jindal-backed bill, Louisiana students will be scientifically illiterate. They go on to note that "scientific literacy will be indispensable for workers, consumers and policymakers in a future dominated by medical, biotechnological and environmental concerns."

That future is now. The current Gulf disaster implicates all these concerns. And Jindal's educational policy handicaps future generations' ability to deal with inevitable future crises.

In 2007, Vitter quietly earmarked $100,000 in a federal spending bill for Louisiana Family Forum, a Christian group that had opposed the teaching of evolution in public schools. Louisiana Family Forum was the prime mover and primary proponent of the Louisiana Science Education Act.

Vitter's earmark, which specified payment of $100,000 of federal tax dollars to the anti-evolution Louisiana Family Forum "to develop a plan to promote better science education," drew national outrage when it came to light. Vitter withdrew his earmark to Louisiana Family Forum amid media suggestions that the earmark was payback by Vitter to his political allies for the political cover the group had provided Vitter following the revelation of Vitter's involvement with the D.C. Madam.

The national education report card compiled by American Legislative Exchange Council ranked Louisiana 47th in the nation for education in 2008. Similar surveys have placed Louisiana in similar position, at or near the bottom. The efforts of Jindal and Vitter only make matters worse.

Our dismal education system has and will continue to have obvious effects on our economic viability. But more freighting is the inescapable conclusion that unless the anti-science policies of Jindal, Vitter, et al are corrected, and soon, future generations will be unable to function in the modern world.

Charles Kincade is an attorney in Monroe.

Yeah, these turkeys are anti-science, and yet, they want the brightest minds to work on solving the oil spill problem in the Gulf of Mexico.

It is indeed ironic that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and U.S. Sen. David Vitter, of Louisiana, are seeking the brightest minds in science and engineering to help extricate our state from the impending environmental disaster that has resulted from the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill.

So, they expect science to pull our proverbial chestnuts out of the fire, and yet, they don't want science to be taught in our schools.

If I were a doctor, I would refuse to treat sports injuries and I would refuse to treat these religious whackos since they reject science. If Pat Robertson, or any right-wing evangelists were to come to me with a case of cancer, I would turn him away and say "Sorry! But because you reject science, don't come to me. Instead, you should just go back to your ignorant redneck congregation or The 700 Club and have them pray for you!" and then I would slam the door in their faces, and call security to have them removed from my clinic.

So, as far as I'm concerned, they all, including NonsensicalSportsman for posting a link to an article saying that getting hit on the head with a hockey stick is good for you, they can all go crawl into a sewer, eat shit, and . . . . . . .

DIE!!!

This land is about freedom, and movement. Not fat judges that live off unemployment and dont do shit. I like science i do, but you take it to literal and thats why your ruining this country

I'm ruining the country?

BULL-FUCKIN'-SHIT!!!

Education has been dumbed-down in our high schools to make it easier for jocks to get passing grades so they can play football.

As I have said before, when I was in high school, my science teacher was also the football coach and he was too busy coaching his team to be teaching in the class room, so instead, he would set up a movie projector and leave us sitting in the dark watching stupid cartoons. I wanted to learn science, damn it!!!

It's all of you moronic sports fans and jocks who are ruining this country, and these monkey-boys expect to get paid millions of dollars just for chasing a ball.

So, you don't know what the fucking Hell you're talking about!

You're just another dumb-ass. You're not even smart enough to be a retarded moron!

You're brain-dead!

[ILOVESPORTS!]

hahahahhaahhahaha im going to remember this event, then soon when i have my ph.d and i am a practicing doctor, im going to send you a postcard to my practice so you can cry about it the rest of your life, even though you play sports it doesnt make you a moron you retard. What is your current profession anyway mr FAT MAN

[Fat Man]

Hahahahhaahhahaha (Capitalize the first word in a sentence) im (I'm) going to remember this event, then soon when i (I)have my ph.d (PhD) and i (I) am a practicing doctor, im (I'm)going to send you a postcard to my practice so you can cry about it the rest of your life, even though you play sports it doesnt (doesn't) make you a moron you retard. What (This is correct. This time you did capitalize the first word in a sentence) is your current profession anyway mr (Mr) FAT MAN

Your grade F -

I had to correct your spelling and punctuation.

Yeah, you'll make a fine PhD with your great spelling and punctuation. Ha! Ha!

You need to go back to the second or third grade. I seriously doubt that you'll make it through college.

You'll probably get a job bagging groceries or scrubbing toilets for the rest of your pathetic little life!

Oh you

Nick came back again? Oh, well, it helps to alleviate the boredom.

May I be so bold as to assume that SensibleSportsman and ILOVESPORTS! are one and the same? I see that ILOVESPORTS! is not currently among the usernames listed in the "Members" list.

Wasn't there an ILOVESPORTS! who was banned not too long ago? If these two are the same person, how was he able to return? Such are the mysteries of online life.

On second thought, who cares?

By the way, Fat Man, regarding the grading you gave ILOVESPORTS!'s last post, he also forgot to use commas required by certain grammar rules. And, in retrospect, it looks like you were justified, after all, in calling him a dumb-@ss.

You should be a comedian, because that really made me laugh. I'm totally serious, I actually got a good laugh from that. I really don't think you're going to become a doctor. in fact, I think where you're going, you'll need to ask for change more than Obama.
