Remember this cat?:)

Jack "The throwin' Samoan" Thompson.:) His nephew is Tavita Pritchard, the Stanford qb who upset USC this year.

What sucks for me is the only time we have any type of professional football (not counting arena league 2) in Hawaii, it has to be 8-9 years before I was born.

You don't see the difference between me telling you about a porn site and me posting a direct link of people in the act? wow

No I don't see the difference between you saying "Go to goggle and type this in and click the 2nd link to see this porn site" and you posting the link to the same site.

If you tell me you want to murder someone and I tell you where to buy an untraceable gun and when the best time is to kill the person, I'm still going to jail with you as an accomplice even if I wasn't there when you got the gun and killed the guy. This is law, not something I'm making up here.

The differentiation is so petty and minute, that is my point. You're blowing smoke if you say there is a fundamental difference between the two.

I don't see how a guy can get ripped for posting a link and also adding "Warning: Contains adult language, not for kids." and get congratulated for saying "Go to Youtube and type this."

Poor Chris. I hoped Jesus finally helped out with his anxiety attack. He certainly called him enough times...

You make a good argument.

The site wants to have the ability to say it is compatible for the kiddies.

Of course the profanity used by youths today on the school yard is every bit what Berman said, but by declaring the link is unfit for viewing, justice has prevailed.

There isnt a difference. Just a way to work around the rule. I always find it amusing the people that try to keep kids away from hearing cuss words. I mean do they live on another planet than i do? Anyways, Berman is fake. People that try to come across as perfect are always fake. But i dont blame him for blasting the idiots he was working with.

Haven't seen this posted and couldn't find it on search. Go to youtube and type in Chris Berman Goes Crazy . Funny stuff.


Oh, like you've never had a meltdown while waiting to talk football on national TV .... oh, that's right, you have not.

Um, did you know that Berman's meltdown was a long time ago? Got a lot of time on your hands? Oh, I see.

btw: I am planning to visit the Indian Hall of Fame, by the way. I wanna see if the place really echoes that much. Can't wait to see the Buffy St. Marie exhibit.:)

I'll simply agree to disagree with you. I have no issue with someone talking about scenes from "Scarface" but I'd have a big time issue if some of those scenes were posted with foul language unedited.

He did not break our Guidelines. I appreciate that.

Yeah, I guess we disagree on this one.

I think you understand what I'm saying just fine though and are choosing to view things differently for whatever reason. I guess it's probably the only way for people to do it on here without getting in trouble and you would like to give the adults here a way to accomplish that without changing the guidelines, which is fine by me.

But I'll caution you guys that if the guideline is meant as some way to avoid legal responsibility, having someone snake around the rule this way and have it condoned by the mods won't absolve those in charge of responsibility. If it's just a matter of keeping potty-mouths in check, then I guess it doesn't matter.

Yes, I do understand what you are saying. No, that isn't the purpose of the Guideline.
