Does anyone else feel athletes are being exploited?

with the zillions of dollars they make?  I think not.  I think its the fans that get exploited. 

yeah,  I'd guess it is easier said than done.   I'd bet there's a 99.9999999999% chance that I'd end up dead if I tried.

*secretly plots to get shot in the back by a cop while attempting to run away with all the man's guns.*

but Warbler, that is impossible.   If you take all his guns, the cop wouldn't have one to shoot you in the back with.

fixed.

I hope someone tries to calm these guys down soon.   Davnes007, guns are not the answer to the problems in this thread.

what the heck,  I'll come down to Texas and join you guys

*secretly plots to steal the guns have them melted down.*

*sighs* ok, I'm sorry for derailing this thread.  I've got stop doing that and keep the gun debate in the political thread.    

Back to topic.

hey VFP, that wasn't very nice.

no thanks.   Its not worth traveling all that way just to shot a gun, and there is a big difference between a three year old and a seven year old.     She's barely passed toilet training,  do you really think she'd understand not to play with a gun? Really think no kid after having the lesson your father taught you has ever played with a gun and gotten hurt?  What if your daughter brings friends to the house that haven't had the same lesson you're going to give her?

Don't get a swimming pool or a trampoline then.  They have proven to be more dangerous to kids than legal handguns.

a trampoline I could see being more dangerous, but a pool?   I find that a little difficult to believe.

so what did you buy?

that all sounds way too dangerous.

get a gun, or three.

no thankyou.   Besides, every once in while, my 3 year old niece is over the house.   I wouldn't want there to be any chance of her finding and playing with a gun and hurting herself or others.

good point.

I have a kick ass security system strapped to the bottom of my bed...

yeah, and if the robber is smart enough, he'll rob your place when you are not there and then he'll have the "kick ass security system"(I'm assuming this "kick ass security system" is a gun).

Close! But no, it is actually a wooden baseball bat.

oops.  well you know the old saying about what happens when you assume somthing.   Sorry C3PX.

Friday at 8 is ok I suppose for me.

prefer my security system and yes,  it is attached to all the windows that can open.   We have several windows that don't open.   A robber would have to break them in order to get into the house.  It would look suspicious to our neighbors and would probably wake us up.  If it didn't,  it would wake up our dog and she would bark(scream would be a better description).  When she barks, no one sleeps.    Of course, it looks like we won't have a dog in couple of months unfortunately.   The security system itself, when goes off, is loud enough to wake the dead.   Its sound is deafening.   Also if it goes off and no one shuts it off fast enough, the alarm company automatically dials the cops.

I'll vote for Saturday 3PM.   Frink, you are correct.   I vote against all times Sunday.

well,  I certainly think its possible to be an atheist and not be bigoted against religious people.

A Sunday draft around 8 or 9:00 PM EST usually works best for everyone. Even OT nerds have stuff to do Friday and Saturday nights. (not me, but some)

just so it is known.  I am unavailable Sunday night March 28th.

Bill Maher. I liked his movie "Religulous", I like his TV show sometimes, but I saw his most recent stand-up special and it was way too crazy-guy-spouting-conspiracy-theories-on-the-street-corner for me.

yeah,  I don't like Maher all that much anymore.  He comes across as someone who is bigoted against religious people. 

there are pundits who argue a few of the same things I do,  but disagree with them on other things.  

I don't consider myself a liberal and I am definitely not a Conservative.   So I guess I can't answer the question. 

thankyou Frink.

what . . .  the . . . . hecki?

thanks Nanner.     I know she isn't a Person, but we still love her alot and will miss her when she is gone.     In coming months my family will have some very difficult decisions.   If it is not against your religion please pray for my family and especially my mother during this difficult time.   

thank you Frink and Gaffer.  

Oh... now I get it.
