Going away? Post so here!

I actually agree with you in the argument going on in the Random Thoughts thread as well.  At first I tried to reply nonsensically and silly in an effort to cool the tensions, but then galacticsemen jumped in and made a point to state what could have been a nice, simple thought of his beliefs but instead he purposefully worded it to be as conceited, condescending, and mockingly as possible.

I agree.  Not personally subscribing to something doesn't make it rubbish.  And the odds are not very slim, the odds are exactly 50/50.  Even if you do believe everything about evolution and all that, you still cannot prove that there was not an intelligent design put in place to begin the process, on earth anyway.  You cannot.  Therefor, the odds are 50/50.  

I don't think it's nonsense to suggest that God might not exist.  God might not exist.  But it IS nonsense to suggest that the notion that god exists is nonsense.  nonsense!

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

About a year ago I purchased a fantastic 65 inch flatscreen Mitsubishi used for 140 bucks.  It's wonderful and still working perfectly.  I got it for so cheap because it isn't a flat panel so nobody wanted it.  It looks as good as any of the new displays I see.  And it's true that buying it used provided me with no warranty and it breaks I just have to buy a new one, but for 140 USD it'd have to break about 10 times before I paid as much as a new one, and it's over a year with no problems already.

I agree that professional sports is a bore, that's for sure.  If you like football and really want to get that excitement it used to bring to you back, I recommend watching college sports.  College basketball and football are, to me, much more exciting than the pro variants.  Without any money on the table nobody is playing just because, everybody is playing out of love for the game, so all the players try harder and emotions run higher.  NBA basketball is a snooze fest compared to college.  For me anyway.

 I hate to tell you, college sports, namely Division 1A Football and Division 1 Basketball are all about money as well.   The colleges make money the bowl games make money, the conferences  make money, the people that run tournaments make money, the coaches make make money, the people that own stadiums make money,  the sponsers make money, one the of the reasons the kids are playing is to try to get into the NFL/NBA to make money.   There is also a growing argument that the college athletes should get paid.   If you really want your sports free of money, you need to go watch highschool sports.   Sad, but that is the way it is.

 No shit, but the PLAYERS don't make money, therefor for the ones actually PLAYING the game, it's all (or mostly) about the sport.

And actually I played basketball in high school, and it was fun. :D  I was even pretty good.

They should not have been playing that game in the first place.  My point is the NFL was saved by that one interception. if that had not happened they would have made some other call that would have caused the Patriots to win.

Tell me since the Patriots got away with cheating this season why should they not cheat next season.  I wish I lived in your world where crime didn't have to be punished to stop it.  Since you believe that I take it you also believe we should get rid of prisons and the police.

You are focusing on one play that is why you can't see my point because you think the season only consisted of that one play.  Well new flash there is more then one play in a game of football!

The point is the very act of letting them play in the game and not fining them and suspending players for cheating shows that the NFL is fine with it and that for the Patriots cheating pays big time.  That play would have never happened if the NFL had done the right thing, instead they have not done anything and that proves they are rigging the game.  Again look how hard they came down on one guy for gesture no one saw that had no impact on the outcome of the game.  The NFL isn't not doing a thing because they can't they choose not to, so they have given the patriots permission to cheat and announced that they will be allowed to do anything as long as it results in a patriots victory.

Again you have to look beyond one play of the season and look at the bigger picture to see this so I will spell this out one last time in the smallest words I can find.

THE

PATRIOTS

ONLY

GOT

INTO

THIS

GAME

BY

CHEATING.

SO

THAT

PLAY

SHOULD

NEVER

HAVE

HAPPENED.

THE

PATRIOTS

WERE

NEVER

PUNISHED

FOR

CHEATING

SO

THE

NFL

HAS

GIVEN

THEM

PERMISSION

TO

CHEAT

IN

ALL

FUTURE

GAMES.

I hope that clears things up for you.

 Where is DanFun when you need him?

Also, yes that clears a lot of things up for me.  Most of them have nothing to do with the NFL though.

Did you not just say you think the Patriots will win every game from now on?  They would have lost the game just now had the Seahawks not made a dumb call.  And you openly admit you don't think the NFL made them make the dumb call.  Therefor, even by your own reasoning, the Patriots won that game because of the Seahawks mistake, not because the Patriots cheating.  It must really suck to see the world the way you do.

I still love Nemesis, and I don't care who knows it!  Yes it's different and not exactly formula star trek, but there's just something about the tense and almost creepy ambiance that appeals to me.  Plus I LOVE the starfields in this movie in particular.  The one in the last space battle with the green tints to it always drew amazed me, especially when I saw it in the theater.
