  1. the difference between brain dead and a child is the child still has potential and in all likelihood would develop past the point of being brain dead. And all that other shit is easy to say....until you have to do it.

    Trayvon Martin

    I will go point by point on this, I am not insulting you or anything or your ideas on being a neighbor because I do believe that in a perfect world communities would band together to lighten the load. Without further ado... 1.) Yes you have every right to protect your neighborhood and you household. That said no gun was found on this kid. So really what would you be protecting them from ? Getting litter int their yard from his skittle wrapper? If you are following the kid and he is aware you have eyes on him I seriously doubt he is going to attempt a burglary with you in your car right there. And as a part of protecting your family I am a firm believer that if lethal force is justified then use it. However Trayvon was gunned down with no means of defending himself, when Zimmerman was taken to the police station it does not look as though he had been beaten at all. So again with what was said what is it you were protecting people from ? A kid that was armed with skittles and iced tea which is all that was ever found. I cant believe that a man with a gun had no further alternative than to shoot someone with no means of lethal force themselves, especially considering that guns have quite a bit longer effective reach than punches. 2.) Yes by all means follow them....IN YOU CAR. Where you are safe so as to not get injured. Second in the Army as with self defense if you initiate contact now you have become the agressor. Sure follow him in your car and make your presence known to dissuade any wrong doing. Although you dont know if that was going to take place you dont know, you are GUESSING. So if you want to say hey dont do anything stupid fine, he may tell you to fuck off which he has the right to do since you are being presumptuous you can expect less than a friendly greeting. If you asked him what he was doing and he said getting out of the rain (if that is indeed the case) then ask him if you would like to call him a cab in the efforts of being neighborly. If you wont pay the ten bucks to get the kid a cab then you dont want to be neighborly nor is getting him out of the neighborhood a priority. 3.) Was answered in the previous two. 4.)I am sure that if you roll down a car window and asked me where I was going when I was just walking to a friends for the superbowl, I would reply, "Going to a friends house to watch the SB." If you then asked me well does he live around here I would reply, "Yeah he lives....." Any question outside of that is none of your damn business and I would tell you that. It is a gathering among friends and during a break in the action I decided I would likes some skittles. You have no business asking me what I am doing after I had answered the first two questions. You are not a cop or any sort of being in a position of power so what gives you the right to antagonize people. You also have the advantage of being in a car if things go south you can definitely get away fast enough to avoid bodily harm. If you are on the street what protection do you have. Also in any class you have taken about strangers as a kid the instructors as well as common sense tells you to get to a well lit area. If the person who owns the house comes out I will explain the situation because at least now there is a record of what has happened in case anything happens. And I would ask them to call the police. Who the hell is going to call the police on themselves if they are about to rob a joint. I am also assuming you dont live on a private island (I could be wrong) but if you do not then it is likely you have houses next to you. If my friend lives 6 blocks away I may have to walk past your house, you do not own the sidewalks and can not tell me when in where to be if I have an invite from someone who lives there. And he may not have committed a crime but a lot of things look weird when you follow an unarmed man and then someone dies and you claim self defense.

    That has got to be one of the tannest "crackers" I have ever seen....just sayin. Second hell no a white artist would not get away with that, and that is the kind of idiotic behavior that still makes racism commonplace. And I am not saying it is only on one side or the other. We will always have some racist inbred hick who says, "The south will rise again." And some dumb racist black guy who is saying white people are still trying to keep us down. Maybe instead of this big pity party that people want to throw themselves into blaming things on social climate take a look at yourself and ask yourself is it race or is it just me wanting to look for a way out for the shit show I have created for myself with nobody else's help. If more people were willing to take responsibility I think racism would all but evaporate. Sometimes life does not deal you a fair hand, that is life. If people want to attach race to this then fine, but if it was a white guy people would just be saying wrong place wrong time. Is it a tragedy that he got shot ? Of course it is. Is this guy guilty ? I dont know but if I was a juror I would lean towards yes since he had a chance to avoid the situation and leave the kid the hell alone. And plies has always been an idiot in my opinion because he likes to take such staunch political views, but sorry if you are an idiot and just because you are entitled to them does not mean you should exercise them. If you want to be political great, but become educated. The america we live in today wants to say that racism only goes one way well that is complete horseshit, I am Irish and my grandpa likes to tell stories of how his grandpa was turned down because he was irish and they would rather hire a black guy. And even when the irish did get hired it was half of what anybody made. I am not sure if it is comforting for people to cry racism or what have you but truly racist people make up the minority. I like I am sure many of you have friends who are black, and many of them are aware that it goes both ways. It is just that the squeaky wheel gets the grease and there are people like rush limbaugh and spike lee who want to always say it is the "other" side that is the issue. It is fucking disgusting, I think stupidity should come with a jail sentence.

    Trayvon Martin

    My big question is why isnt somebody charging him ? If you claim self defense and indeed it was that is fine and he was within his right to protect his home but two things standout on this. Listening to tape excerpts he said, " I am following him." At which point the dispatcher told him to cease and desist. He did not and a man lost his life, how in the fuck is that self defense, I am sure if the kid had a gun as soo as Zimmerman pulled his than trayvon would have pulled his. No other gun was found. Second even if Trayvon did have a gun then if the dude would have just stayed in his damn car would this have ever happened ? No. It was not self defense if you get out with even the slightest inkling that violence may ensue. The second is the dude needs to learn his place. You are the leader of a Community watch, you are to ovserve and report. Not observe, follow, call 911, continue to follow, and then shoot. If he was that concerned then he needed to go to his house, lock the door, call 911 and provide the most accurate description you can and last known location. Mission complete. What evidence do you need other than the 911 tapes he followed him and shot him, self defense is out the window is it not ?
  5. So for the abortion argument I would ask, when is it truly a human being ? For me it took many hours on a foot patrol thinking about random things but this often came to the forefront. I am in no way comparing Iraq to an abortion, however in Iraq you cant kill something that has no heart beat. That is where I drew my moral line. If it has no heartbeat than it more resembles a parasite then a human. However once that heartbeat is audible or even there it is now a human being and your window of opportunity is over period. This is where I will say the only exception is health of the mother. If you are raped and cannot figure out in time whether you want it or not the NOW human life you have should not have to pay the price and obviously it did not bother you to carry it this far. I am firmly against killing a defenseless human being as in the case of a human child. I am also a believer that is a crack addled mother decides she will be an unfit mother until she gets clean than an abortion may be the only act of kindness that she displays. The only issue I have found with this is while in the Army I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting many people who grew up in a situation like that and they are the most upstanding and honorable men I know. And in turn they are the most loving fathers in the world to ensure that their child never has to go through that. While that part is tough to grapple with I find solace in numbers. more often than not those baby's end up being fruit of the poisonous tree and perpetuate the cycle. It is a touchy issue no doubt but I think the moment it has a heart beat your options have left. The reason is starts there is because that is the definitive line to where you would be killing something.

    Black girl goes APESHIT in class...

    In all seriousness who gives a damn black, blue, green, white, orange, yellow, or purple. This crazy broad lost her damn mind and I am sorry but no sympathy from me. She created her own shit show and now I hope it does follow her so that way when an employer hires her they know what kind of basket case they are getting. The shit was all well and good until she put her hands on a student that she was passing by, that shit deserves her to have the shit smacked out of her just for thinking she can do that.period. The fact that she was tased who gives a damn it wont cause any permanent damage, I have had several buddies who are MP's that got tased and 5 minutes afterword they were smoking a cigarette talking football. And so what that it got put on the internet, if you werent doing anything noteworthy not making an ass out of yourself they would not have felt compelled to get out their I phones and show the world your "moment of weakness" maybe my mom was too old fashioned but she called it a temper tantrum and I felt her back hand for it....learned pretty quick to not do it. And moment of weakness my ass, if you cant handle stress like an adult than there really is no hope for you because guess what, if college is stressful it only gets worse. So you are saying every time she is stressed this is an acceptable display of that...FUCK NO. Do what the rest of us adults do ride a bike, talk football, go for a run, come one an internet football board and make fun of the next idiot.

    Reed hints he wants new contract from Ravens

    As a die hard Ravens fan it would suck to lose Reed, but for a guy who one year ago was 50/50 about retirement....sorry no dice. You will play out the rest of your contract and show me you still want to be here and then next year I will give you a back loaded deal but dont think your history is worth mortgaging the future. I love Ed but this is a sorry as move on his part, Even though he is a vet and all pro he needs to remember what team he made his name with. No man is above the team....except Ray...even then it is close.

    Tebow could get 20 snaps a game

    Honestly I dont care one way or the other, the jets are going to have a battle of two shitty QB's. One thing I do hope comes out of this is that Tebow and Sanchez start a reality show...it would be priceless...

    Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan Vs. field revisited....

    To be fair though his play calling was limited because his oline was always garbage. and two until two years ago the only consistent receiver tehy had was Hines. I mean Santonio was decent, but limas sweed and others were just not ready for a three wide set. And even if he is dog shit I would take any OC in this over Cam Cameron. Hell if I was Steve Bisciotti or John Harbaugh and you needed a job I would hire you as OC before I let Cam Cameron hold a water bottle.

    Flacco: I'm the best QB in the NFL

    Oh yes I will agree him saying it to the media was dumb. All I was saying is the thought process is not uncommon. He should have just done that fluff that I hate hearing form every player like, "Well there are a lot of talented QB's out there, so I dont know." you know the bullshit every slack jawed player says. And as to the Flacco years I will agree if he does not put up this year then I am done with this flacco experiment. After 5 years you cant play the I am growing card anymore. It is his put up or shut up year if he doesnt hit 4000 and 20+ td's I am not sure what to say to the Raven faithful except back to the well we go. And I Flacco is not shit he is average. There are QB's way better and way worse so I will say he is middle of the road. And he is constantly under the microscope because people know that team has everything else in place to win a SB he is the one who has to take us there, and that there will be no more reprieves for him. As to him blaming the scheme that is the only HALF valid thing he can say because cam cameron is a fuckin moron.

    Flacco: I'm the best QB in the NFL

    And Ronnie Lott said Ed Reed was a better safety, do you think he really feels that way ? All I am saying is what these guys say to the media is a lot different then what you would hear in person. If Favre didnt have that confidence do you think he would have been the great gunslinger he was. Was it dumb for him to say ? Yeah. Will it only increase the magnifying glass ? Yeah. Is he even a top 5 player on his team ? No. But is it uncommon for QB's to think that, absolutely not. He got baited into a loaded question. If he says I don't know then all the haters in Baltimore are right now saying just because he does not run up in down the field like Favre he is a cold QB who is indifferent. If he says yes than you see what happens. he has already tried to deflect that question in the radio interview but that is the part that you didn't hear. You just hear what NFL.com lets you hear. The writers are looking for something to do so why not just throw Flacco under the bus because it is a top 5 past time there.
  13. If you want a hard hitting match up where both teams are going to truly leave it on the field than the Steelers/Ravens rivalry will never disappoint. Now that Carson Palmer is gone I can actually say something nice, that AJ Green will be something someday. Mike holmgren is making this team competitive again, and Joe Haden is probably one of the most underrated corners in the league.

    Joe Flacco and Matt Ryan Vs. field revisited....

    Look I am not saying Flacco would be or ever will be another Aaron Rodgers or something. However Cam Cameron has always been known for his run on 1st run 2nd throw on third that his been his MO for almost 20 years. you can find it on charger message boards from 05 and to this day on the Ravens. He is the most predictable, vanilla piece of garbage I have seen coach a football team. I would really like the steelers former OC Arians, he knew how to put 3 receivers on the field at a time which is something Cameron to be honest. And While we are on the topic I will take Roddy White over Q. They both drop the ball a lot but hey what can you do. I am not sure who I would rather have yet Julio or Smith. I am not saying firing Cameron would be the end of our offensive woes but at least it would be fresh versus this same shit offense we have had for his entire tenure now.

    No he is too bust blowing the inferior Harbaugh. I will say this though I would almost rather have the colts OC as shitty as he may be.

    PFF: Pass Blocking Efficiency for RBs

    Well it just confirms for me that Ray Rice is not a great pass blocker, I mean I always knew it in the back of my mind but never really watched for it.

    You cant use play calling to make an argument because as shitty as it is to say The shittiest OC in the league wears ravens gear on sundays.

    Warren Sapp files bankruptcy

    You have to be one dumb son of a bitch to lost that much money. Hell I would be living on a yacht the rest of my life and still never go broke. I wonder what the hell people spend that shit on or do they go to different stores than us normal folks.

    Flacco: I'm the best QB in the NFL

    Again I wont disagree with that either. Especially as heavily scrutinized as you were to begin with as the weak link on the team, it is only going to intensify. I a just saying almost all great QB's feel that way, if they didnt I can only imagine that several of the great comebacks in history would not have happened. I am not mad he feels that way and I dont think he is close to top 5, hopefully he proves me wrong. That said I think it was all leverage talk for his agent and people are running wild with something that is really a non story because it is the off season.

    Flacco: I'm the best QB in the NFL

    there is a big difference between what they will say behind closed doors versus what they will say to the media. I am sure that you know that.

    Ravens extend CB Ladarius Webb

    This is a hell of a corner on his way up, so I am ecstatic that they got htis done, and it does not put us in cap hell.
  22. Omerta

    Flacco: I'm the best QB in the NFL

    Oh and believe me you wont get an argument from me there. Even as a Ravens fan I know that. He is wildly inconsistent. There are some games he is good and some he is terrible. The game at Heinz field he was good, the seahawks game he was terrible. The point is that All the great ones have the confidence.
  23. Omerta

    Flacco: I'm the best QB in the NFL

    Yes because I am sure Brees, Manning, Rodgers, Brady, and all those cats think they are terrible. I bet you walk up to any one of them and they will say they are the best. Considering there is only one guy who is the best that means 3 are lying. That said there is a reason they are in the discussion and I am a firm believer it has to do with their attitude. For all those mocking him Eli said he was and went out and won the SB.

    Ray Lewis can motivate

    He has already said he wants no part of coaching when he retires, although that would be awesome.
