Speak for yourself

Hmm. No mention of this incident.

This ended Steve Moore's career. Now Bertuzzi's playing for the Calgary Flames. My home team. I hope I don't cut him off in traffic.

I don't know. I think both sides of the arguments he participates in have moments of logical clarity.

Gee! Sports music sucks!

It has become glaringly clear that you've never heard the soundtrack to Air Bud:The Golden Receiver. For shame.

Sports is the Cocaine, the LSD and the PCP or the masses because sports inspires violence. That answers my question. But the reason you give seems inadequate (much like my 'roids singed johnson). An opiate is a drug, yes, like Cocaine, LSD and PCP. But I think the point of the (modified) quote I us...

What would you suggest is a better suited subject of that quote (below)? "You say our schools should be sanctuaries of learning and education. Learning and education is the opiate of the masses." If education's so great, that is. And I may be a dud, but only sexually (thank you 'roids!).

Wow. It was a treat reading the opinions expressed about my letter. Let it be known, however, that I'm not into the caulking-sucking (oops, my spelling?) although sealing unwanted leaks around homes is an excellent way to cut home energy costs and decrease the household carbon footprint. The more yo...

That is not really the most moral, dignified and self Integral way to go about is it? It could be worse. On another note though, this type of thing has happened a lot in the past, but not only at sports events. Music events can have this effect on peole, as can religious events. It's not a sports t...

Guilty. As for malware, I have no idea. And any emails were from public pages on this website. Might want to look into that. And as for not knowing anything about sports... well that's up for interpretation I guess. My interpretation: Supreme Sports Sagacity. No harm intended. Unless you count misch...

I read the wikipedia page, and I don't think there's any real harm in girls showing their boobs. If it was to go on, they should probably make some adjustments so traffic can get through. The part I thought was wrong the 2006 controversey, but it said people who did wrong were arrested... The flash...

I guess the traffic thing was bad, but I don't know.

If you check out the wikipedia article, the section "Celebration or exploitation?" contains a situation which could be construed as a real harm. I would say so.

In 2004, the Calgary Flames made it really close to winning (or did they win?) the Stanley Cup. Thousands of people congregated to the avenue perpendicular to the Arena where this took place every night of the playoffs. Traffic could not pass. It was mostly violence-free. Women were taking their jun...
