International I Hate Sports Club

As seen above, you yourself admit you marginalized me in your mind by giving me the image of a child. Oh, please ... You sound like you're whining. Stop accusing me of being malicious. You're intent upon demonizing anyone and everyone who doesn't make a religion out of sports. We live in a society ...

Oh, no! I didn't see this birthday thread!

Happy (belated) Birthday, ChrisOH!

Sorry, ChrisOH!

It's common to try and classify a dissenting opinion in a way to make it seem less valid. In this sense, you try and marginalize me by saying I am a child, around 14-17, to make it easier to ignore the meaning of my words. Where did I say you were a child? I didn't know what your age was. I merely ...

I understand your anger, Fat Man; but for now, let's try to keep a more civil tone while there's still hope for a decent dialogue.

Fat Man, your post above was fine up to the last line. I understand how you feel, but let's try not to make the situation worse.

Happy Birthday! (wherever you are )

When a man refuses to hear the words of another, and meets them with nothing but criticism and insults, that man has a closed mind, and refuses to educate himself. That is true. But it is also true that when a man (or, for that matter, a boy in high school or junior high) in his very first post cal...

Athletes entertain millions of people, who willingly pay money to see them perform. That's free market economy. I agree with this statement. Huh? Is anyone surprised that I would? Is there some script I'm supposed to follow? Oh, I get it. Since I'm a moderator (well, the only currently active moder...

Thanks for being civil, JimmyJohns. Well, he has not been civil with me! First thing he does is to call me a leech! Well, now that you've mentioned it, I must admit you're right. Go get 'em, tiger! (That means, according to the cherished Forum Rules, you have the right to respond in kind. ) Let's s...

*Psssstt!* (That's supposed to be a well-known sound, not a word, produced by the human mouth.) Hey, Fat Man ...

Sup I come to challenge your views. You're certainly welcome to do that. That's one of the reasons why this forum exists. If everyone agrees with one another, then boredom sets in. I'm wondering, is your challenge addressed to us as a group; or is it addressed to particular individuals? Since we do...

Thanks for being civil, JimmyJohns. :) (How refreshing! You're a new member who's not a spammer. I was bored with encountering nothing but spammers. I tell you, spammer after spammer after spammer after spammer, I get sick and tired of it! :lol: ) I have no problem with sincere critics of this websi...

Happy Birthday, ChrisOH!!!

I know it wasn't easy. As I've learned in my own life, personal growth frequently is not easy; but it is worth the effort.
