What the fuck? When was it decided that schools should be in charge of kids when they are not in school?
And what ever happened to "sticks and stones..." or teaching kids to stand up for themselves?

[cynical]

Back in the day, schools acted in loco parentis. Progs believe that parents act in loco res publica. However, most parents disagree at an instinctive level, and when the issue is forced, shit might get ugly.

[Zeb]

But now schools seem to think that they can act in loco parentis all the time.

If there is going to be a law about this sort of thing, it should forbid school officials from spying on kids' non-school activities.

I think schooling is important, but it is absolutely disgusting when schools decide that they should be the primary guiding force in a child's development. Fuck that. If we are going to have public schools, they should teach kids stuff and that's it. Why the fuck should they be organizing sports and activities and worrying about who is mean to whom outside of school?

[Yowsa Airafart]

[generic Brand]

I have (female, obviously) friends who insist Hillary Clinton is a brilliant woman, and miles ahead of Sarah Palin.

While I don't think Sarah Palin is the brightest CFL in the fixture, I also didn't argue that point. I said that most people like Sarah Palin because she is attractive for a woman her age.

This is where the conversation got weird. My friends responded that Hillary was FAR more attractive than Sarah Palin, and loads smarter to boot! They would not give up an inch on saying that she really wasn't as smart as they wanted her to be.

I guess the brainwashing was completed despite her losing the Democratic nomination to Obama.

[Lord Humungus]

if stuck with a choice between Palin and Clinton, my penis says Palin. Neither one would make for stimulating conversation though.

[waffles]

If you argue that Hillary is more attractive than Palin you are certainly brainwashed. Similarly is you argue that Palin is in any way as intelligent and craven as Hillary. That said, I would never vote for, or stick my dick in either of them.

[generic Brand]

I never made the argument that Palin was brilliant or even smart. I stated that men like her because she is attractive.

And thusly, both girls were mortified and insisted Hillary is far more attractive than Sarah, proving that women really have no idea how a man's mind works.

[JW]

Keep in mind that they are from the same herd that said they found Clinton and Gore to be "sexy." Never mind that if Bubba and Al weren't who they are and hit on these chickies in a bar, they'd be Faceyspacing the next day about how these "creepy old guys were hitting on us. EWWWWW!!!1!1!"

I'm curious - if you were President, and you wanted Gaddafi to win out and stay in power, what would you do differently than this administration?

(1) Bog down any and all efforts to aid the rebels in the UN - check.

(2) Support an arms embargo on Libya to prevent the rebels from getting mo betta guns - check (I think).

(3) Make weak-ass denunciations of Gaddafi to bolster his street cred in anti-American circles, and allow him to say the rebels are foreign puppets - check.

[Rich]

[Almanian]

[Montani Semper Liberi]

New NFL rules define a QB in the act of throwing as a defenseless player. I am so sick and tired of this player safety bullshit. If the league were serious about concussions, they would mandate all players use helmets like what Mark Kelso wore that are proven to reduce concussions. What they are really trying to achieve is to make the NFL into a 7 on 7 drill where QBs routinely put up 500 yards because to the NFL, teams like the 1999 Rams are the ideal. Go fuck yourself if you like to see great defense. If this is the way the sport is going, please, don't come back from the lockout.

[Ska]

I normally keep my sports opinions off of reason, but yeah, this yearly pussification of the QB position is BS.

[Ice Nine]

Fuggem. No concussions, no glory.

[Ted S.]

I blame Peyton Manning.

When he lost the 2004 AFC Championship Game when the Patriots' DBs played tight defence, the first thing he did was cry to the competition committee (which has a reperesentative from the Colts on it), which duly changed the rules.

Last season, they changed the rules about where the umpire stands after setting the ball so that the umpire would be safer. In a pre-season game against the Packers, Manning got a couple of false start penalties because he tried to run the offense faster than any human could reasonably get out of the way. Again, Manning whined to the competition committee, which duly adjusted the rule. Apparently, Manning cares more about running his offense than he does about the officials' safety.

[R C Dean]

Apparently, Manning cares more about running his offense than he does about the officials' safety.

Well, so do I, and I'm not even a Peyton Manning fan.

[Libertymike]

Unlike most Massholes and other New Englanders, I can appreciate Peyton Manning's greatness.

As for the 2003 AFC championship game of which you speak (played on January 18, 2004), the Patriots got away with holding, clutching and beating up the Colts receiving corps. IOW, the Pats cheated and got away with it. What transpired in the off-season was that the Colts insisted upon the then existing rules being enforced-THE RULES DID NOT CHANGE!

The wussies are the folks that want to see more of Jack Tatum / Brandon Merriweather type of "hits" and guys wearing just their shortsleeve jersies in Ice Bowl conditions.

Being tough is rejecting male / adolescent driven culture. The same principle applies to men who join state sponsored military or paramilitary organizations-its an act of cowardice.

[John]

Being tough is rejecting male / adolescent driven culture. The same principle applies to men who join state sponsored military or paramilitary organizations-its an act of cowardice.

WTF? I suppose it could be under some circumstances but always? Give me a break. And the NFL is the epitome of teh male adolescent driven culture. You clearly have never spent much time on a football field or in a locker room. The whole fucking sport is about false bravado.

[Libertymike]

False bravado is not a good trait, is it?

John, like a lot of other American kids, I played baseball, football, basketball and golf. I played little league / pop warner / Babe Ruth / American Legion / high school football, basball and golf ( I was the alternate on a team that got trounced by Brad Faxon's high school). I also played club football in college as well as golf. Give me some credit for having some basis upon which to rant. From the time I was a kid, I did not like the false bravado / run with the pack and the anti-intellectualism which too often is prevalent in sports culture.

Also, as I first told you several years ago, don't take my broad statements to mean that I personally dislike every guy who ever wore a uniform. For example, I like you and think that you are a very intelligent, down to earth guy. I think I also told you that one of my very best friends is a retired Air Force colonel who has gradually become a libertarian.

[generic Brand]

Being tough is rejecting male / adolescent driven culture.

I see your argument about Manning and raise you a Golden [shower] Boy Brett Favre. I remember years ago a game where Brett Favre was getting sacked, and a penalty was called: "Landing on the quarterback with the full weight of the defender's body"

Because of the ongoing (until last year) Ironman record, Brett Favre has as much to do with the pussification of the NFL as Manning's inefficiency-turned-complaints and Tom Brady's "tuck rule".

I agree with the original poster; while I love me some professional football, I would be more than content to start watching English Premiere League in its place if this is the NFL that comes back.

[John]

Yeah because the EPL doesn't have a problem with flopping or anyting.

[generic Brand]

Good point, although it was more a commentary on if they're going to bring it down to the contact-level of soccer, I'd rather just watch soccer.

Because when they continue straining the rules in NFL it just emphasizes more and more how much the play is broken up by penalties and commercial breaks.

[Nick]

It's why Cristiano Ronaldo is my most hated professional athlete in the world and I care much less about soccer than football, hockey, or baseball. I hate really really really talented asshole crybabies.

[Nick]

[Tulpa]

It's only been "pussified" for a few skill positions (QB and WR).

I was listening to a radio show with Lamar Woodley and James Harrison during last season and they made a few good points about this. Woodley mentioned that several times during the game against the Browns, he was stuck in a block when the ballcarrier (Peyton Hillis) plowed into him helmet-first. He was wondering why they don't consider linemen and defensive players to be "defenseless" in those situations if they're really just trying to prevent injuries in general (as opposed to injuries to QB/WR).

[Timon19]

On the other hand, you could take most of the pads off, and go back to the leather helmet so players aren't encouraged to think they're invincible and that nothing at all could possibly go wrong if they spear the ballcarrier.

[John]

^^This^^

That is the kind of counter intuitive thinking no one in positions of authority ever engages in. If you reduced the padding, you would reduce the hitting. I think it was a safer sport in the 1950s even though it was every bit as violent in its own way. You could also go back to making people play 60 minutes. Put an end to fat guys who play 20 plays a game.

[Almanian]

^^what Timon19 said^^

Raise your hand if 90% of the football you played as a ute was without pads/helmet, and therefore you learned how to tackle properly so you didn't break your FUCKING NECK?

[DesigNate]

If football gets any more pussified, I'll be able to fulfill my dream of playing qb.

[Tulpa]

Even better, the quarterback is also considered to be a "defenseless player" during an interception or fumble return, regardless of what he's actually physically doing. So, it would be possible for a "defenseless player" to make the tackle.

[CrackertyAssCracker]

After an interception is is thrown , if a QB is considered "a defenseless player", then he shouldn't be allowed to do any tackling.

[CrackertyAssCracker]

Also, Offensive pass interference should result in an interception, but who am I kiddin.

New NFL rules define a QB in the act of throwing as a defenseless player.

As Jack Lambert said, "Just put a fucking dress on 'em."

[R C Dean]

I propose that the "defenseless player" rule be implemented by mandating that quarterbacks wear a pink jersey.

If you don't want to get plastered while throwing, then don't fucking throw. You've got running backs - use 'em.

With this rule, we will be treated to the spectacle of a quarterback surrounded by defensive players, standing there with his arm in the air making little pump fakes until the secondary finally breaks down and someone is open.

[WTF]

Yup. Any quaterback who doesn't do this and actually brings the ball down is a fucking idiot. So much for sacks.

[P Brooks]

In college, I put a couple of shots on quarterbacks from the blind side which, today, would probably get me banned from the NFL for life (if not removed from the field in handcuffs and charged with attempted murder).

If you don't want to get whacked, stay off the field, Nancy.

[Almanian]

Man, I still remember a blindside after high school my buddy Don laid on me in a pickup game...I flew through the air like a spitwad and landed about 5 yards away.

I'd bet their measurable intelligence is so similar you can't rank it, and if I were wasted enough to be trying to get with an old lady, and they were the only two around for me to choose from, I'd hit on Hillary first. DAT ASS

Palin's sex appeal totally eludes me. (I like the glasses, but they don't look right on her face.) Maybe that's why I think she seems pretty cool, for a politician. There's no confusing hot-mom interference field there to elicit the kind of ape-brain fuck/kill reaction she gets from almost everybody, so I look at what she actually seems to be all about, and figure that's the best we can do.
Plus, as a non-non-violent anarchist by temperament, I think it'd be healthy for us to have a president half the country hates so intensely it destroys their minds.
