Re: Introductions
Hi again Silence, (You might want to take a week or a month to digest Earl's advice before reading this. I don't want to overload you with ideas, seeing as how you're a still Freshman and all.) :) It is difficult to add anything to the advice Earl gave (which was really good), but I'd like to point ...

Re: Introductions
Yes, thanks, Earl. Your advice was slightly more helpful than mine ... maybe. Slightly. Or perhaps ... slightly more than slightly.
Cheers,

Re: Drew Brees speaks out against bullying
I don't trust any jock at all. I really don't give a flying fuck if he says he was never a bully. As long as someone plays in professional sports, then he is part of an evil and morally corrupt organization that is rotten to it's very core. He may not have been a bully, but he plays with bullies, s...

Re: Introductions
I mean... It's ridiculous to me that you needed to be called a "fag" just because you don't like to chase a ball around? And they spur on academic achievement as something weak or ridiculous. Hello Silence, I am sorry to hear about this. It sounds like you attend a very backwards school w...

Re: chess and coffee clubs
@Imperialist: Well, that's interesting. The only bookshops they have around here feature authors of mystery novels, which I don't like. (After joining this group and finding it much to my liking, I actually googled "mysteries suck" and "harlequins suck" in the hope of finding a s...

Re: Last thing you Watched/Read.
Wednesday night at the debating club, I watched Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story . I'm not sure what I made of the movie as a whole--that is, as a coherent political statement about what laws ought to change. However, one thing that resonated with me was a speech by Jimmy Carter, originally ...

Re: El Paso Is Queer For Trash Dumps!!!
Fat Man, have you ever read the Road by Cormac McCarthy? ... it is a very good read ... A lot of people have written about how great that novel was, but ... (WARNING: rhetoric alert) Phew...are you serious, HugeFan? You liked The Road ? From what I have heard it is quite a depressing novel, and I w...

Re: Introductions
MILITARY TRAINING ... induces feeling of duty which sport doesn't Hah! Duty to what, though? To one's country? No offence, Imperialist, but 65 years ago in America, duty to one's country meant shooting at people from a certain Pacific Rim country. :| How about cooperative games instead to build a s...

chess and coffee clubs
While reading an old post from the Judge, about the Khess and Koffee Klub to which he used to belong, I started wondering what you all in the anti-sports crowd did for fun. Where does everyone go to meet people, since clearly red-neck sports bars and gladiatorial arenas are not an option? FM's post:...

Re: Reading Fiction: Flawed Characters or not?
I read quite a bit of fiction and from my own experiennce I've come to join are not just under-dogs but characters who struggle with self-confidence but grow and mature enough as their stories unfold to become pretty amazing characters in their own right. I tend to enjoy characters that have alot o...

Good morning RF. Let me be the first to welcome you to our anti-sports forum. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Fat Man, and I'm known as The Judge here on these forums, and I like to post a lot of images in my topics. Well met, Fat Man. :D Well, as a kid in school, I hated sports, and I loved read...

Re: Introductions
Hiya, I'm RF. (That's short for "Recovering sports Fanatic", where "recovering" is meant in the sense of recovery from addiction.) I have been a sports fan since childhood. I wasted solid years of time watching it on television. I came to this site, mainly because I wanted to mov...
