I try to speak in a sarcastic humoristic way. Sorry, it comes across as being an A-hole.

Nobody should want people to think of them in the way some think of me. Not sure how else to be in a sea of thinking that I'm far inland from.

That same mentality of needing to fit in from way way back exists today in people in their 30's, 40's, 50's and later.

Fitting in is great, when it's something you actually believe in... I feel for all the souls trying to fit in for the sake of fitting in that feel more alone by their pseudo belonging. Been there...long ago.

I agree with the limited concept of this thread - never apologize, etc. - and also the idea of not giving a shit what people think of you. Just the same, both of you guys need to realize what you are - ALL OUT LOONS - one in the field of sports and the other in politics.

"Asshole" implies a certain kind of style - which both of you have, and that's no big deal, not to me at least, although I suppose there are some who are disgusted by your assholic treatment of others. Being a LOON is a matter of substance - being consistently on the wrong side of issues. That is distinctly worse - especially in the realm of politics when somebody pisses all over the magnificence of life in America.

Uffda, I hereby invite you, as a prolific writer, albeit mostly wrongheaded in sports, to join the world of political posting. If you are a leftist - as I suspect even though you have yet to express it, Dakota could use some help - pathetic as he is, he is the only one of his sick kind with the balls to even try hahahahaha. If you have a decent outlook on things, well, I guess there is always room for another right-thinking American.

I have never treated anyone poorly with intent. If it comes across that way my sincere apology. This is entertainment. Nothing more.

I've toyed with getting some business cards that include "Part-time asshole" on them.

And as I move farther into "middle age," I believe more and more that if no one considers you a "loon," you're doing something wrong.

I've always had ideas that other people consider loony. It took me awhile to realize I worried too much about what others think.

Now, I don't much care. I still can change my mind when shown logic and evidence. But I have thought long and hard about all of those loony ideas of mine. While they may still be wrong, there's enough logic and evidence behind them that *I* know they aren't loony.

I'd rather be thought loony than be boring and "normal."

So maybe I'll add "Loony" to those business cards.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

At age 13 you arn't mature enough to make an important decision.
I think if you say you don't give a s**t about what people think about you, you arn't being totally honest.
You must have been REALLY hurt by someone at that age to come up with that kind of "solution".

I do care what people think about me. That said though, I will stand up for what I believe in first and foremost.

I think you can make you position known without purposely treating others like crap. If you can't make a point without personal attacks and name calling then maybe your opinion needs to be rethought. Name calling and being a bully is what I think a 13 year old would do.

And making a blanket statement like all people in authority are full of crap.......I would expect that from a 13 year old too. Not from an adult man.
Yes, some that are in authority shouldn't be there. But some are not bad leaders.
A closed mind at age 13 doesn't allow you to grow past that age.
Just my opinion......which coming from me will automatically make you "pooh pooh" it away, I'm sure. I know what you think of me. You made that clear many times in the past.

I'm surprised you see politics as a waste of time. Politics is life and death; It's what makes everything we enjoy in life possible, NFL football for example - can you imagine it and other sports in a Communist or Muslim dominated country?

I compliment you on not being a lefty. I almost wish you were. We could use a more competent voice for all of the wrongheaded positions than the primary leftist loon now spewing.

I will stay out of the "asshole" question, as it really doesn't bother me one way or the other. It seems to me that part of enjoying a forum is being free to act like an asshole. If somebody can't stand the heat, they should stay outta the kitchen hahahaha ......... or is that only in the Back Alley.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Rude!

beast (2h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (5h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (8h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (10h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
