Let Boobtube do it for you: Jimmy

What an idiot. :rolleyes:

I was not aware that guns produce some sort of mental-capacity draining radiation- Please, enlighten me on that.
FWIW, handing a kid who has had nothing several million dollars will lead to some stupidity. Add in fame, and you have a real moron.

It really just goes back to this.

I'm sure some pro atheletes are plenty smart, it just is not required to be a great athlete.

Plaxico will be able to play again simply because he is one awesome athelete. Now if he keeps getting in trouble eventually he may run out of top job opportunities to choose from.

"I like Guns !!! "

Yeah, you're right. Guns can add extra stupid with some people. Gives them an inordinate feeling of power.

I think the NBA is a little more upset at the fact (alleged) that he took them into the locker room and allegedly pulled one or more of them on a team-mate. Arenas said it was a joke, a gag. To that sort of joke I would say: "STOP! You're killing me!"

I think it goes much deeper than stupidity and guns.
Look at the graduation rates for the colleges that put many players into the pro ranks. Its around 50%. ( Yes there are exceptions, but rare--Notre Dame graduates about 98% of their student athelets, but then they aren't really competitve, are they.)
For many of these student atheletes, they are treated differently from childhood. They aren't required to do their school work, special favors are afforded them, abberant behavior is winked at.
And then we excuse behavior that would be crimminal for anyone else!

What would happen if you took guns to the cafeteria in your workplace?

This guy should be BANNED for lofe--IF the NBA were serious, but I think they like the gangsta image.

Yes, the "gangsta" culture seems to be a thriving expression of cultural identity.....

It's some whack $h!t all right. That's why I hate hip-hop. The whole vibe and message is one of angry defiance, a glorification of MY EGO, as in the ego of the performer.

Did you look at the lead story in your link? The one about the woman who got her teeth knocked out and numerous other injuries from a homeless dude pissed cause she and her boyfriend had no cigarettes for him? And then the guy let out after a few weeks?!

A friend of mine sent me a DVD of the movie "Idiocracy." Semi goofy and somewhat heavy-handed satire but not w/o accuracy or value, IMO. Part of the premise is that dimwads are breeding like rabbits while more educated, perhaps more intelligent people postpone smaller families.

The heroes of the story accidentally get forwarded 500 or so years into the future where the results of the downward spiral are all too evident. The POTUS is the dominant ass whooping wrestler of the day.

I have taken guns to work,,and amazingly it did not jump up kill anyone go off by accident, shoot someone in the leg or anything:rolleyes:..... Just kind of layed there like the piece of steel and black walnut that it was:D

There is a song about this kind of thing...

Brad Paisley "Celebrity":rolleyes:

I assume you are NOT a privileged athlete. I also see that you are in Amish country, so I assume you know about guns.

I was not speaking against gun ownership.
I was decrying the way pampered athelets disobey laws that would land any of the rest of us in jail for a very long time, and yet they typically get away with it.

I can see that firearms have a place in the world, at any rate, we're stuck with them and of course if only bad guys had them . . .

There's really no point in me slandering all gun owners. I'm not sure having a handgun on me 24/7 (were I in a C&C state) wouldn't make me a tad more stupid. Good possibility it would make me a bit less inclined to use diplomacy and my silver tongue to keep me out of trouble - instead I could easily jump to the thought, 'Oh yeah? Well Mssrs. Smith and Wesson here are of a mind that it would be a simple matter to drain a large quantity of blood out of your sorry carcass.'

A good friend and small contractor that I know and respect very much has a son who has been a troubled young man. He has had various types of difficluties and used to work with his dad but that did not work out. One day the son decided he needed a large handgun. He had it in his jacket one evening when he decided it was a good night to get good and drunk at a local watering hole. He got into an arguement with another genius and soon the son was ejected from the bar. In the scuffle he pulled his gun.

Oops!

He was arrested, tried and did some time.

His dad was pretty much broken hearted over the deal.

I think the son eventually moved to NOL. Haven't heard from him for a while.

The dad is good as gold person but his personal life has been rough. In addition to this he had a child who od'd.
