Keeping weight on during football season is dang near impossible as it is. The two main choices are to consume enormous amounts of food, or hope that Mega Mass 8000 or something similar actually is what it says.

I know in my case (and we're talking high school level here), I was eating over 7,000 calories a day during the season and still dropped close to 20% of my body weight during a season.

They didn't even get to leave until yesterday. No free Outback for the band. Not sure about the cheerleaders.

Cheerleaders, as a group, accounted for exactly 1/2 of one rib, three nibbles of the breading off a Bloomin' Onion, six bottles of water, and a piece of chocolate cake that was sectioned off by using an electron microscope and a laser.

I apologize in advance for the following rant: I try not to let people bait me into political arguments in sports forums. But the danger in keeping quiet is that the silence of me and others like me will be interpreted by some as evidence of the fact that everyone shares their points of view. Some of you already have that idea because you do little more than listen to Rush Limbaugh and watch Bill O'Reilly to inform yourselves about the state of affairs in this nation. (The rest of the world is irrelevant to many of you.)

You don't have to like Democrats. I happen to be one. There are millions of us in the U.S. About as many or more of us than Republicans, depending on what research you look at.

We don't have to agree. Healthy, reasoned debate is a good thing in my opinion (although I concede it doesn't belong in this forum.)

Ad hominem attacks do nothing to further the public interest. So please, don't equate Democrats with "terrorists." I have a lot of stereotypes in my mind I could unleash on Republicans, but doing so now would prove me a hypocrite.

Flame away. I'd rather discuss sports but for the reasons expressed above, I feel compelled to respond.

Really? Like this post of yours?

Or this?

Or maybe this?


Like I said, I don't like being baited into political discussions in sports forums, but when other people make outrageous statements, there is a danger in not responding.

I fail to see anything resembling danger that results from not flying off the handle over a couple of rather innocuous comments.

I refer you to my original response. "But the danger in keeping quiet is that the silence of me and others like me will be interpreted by some as evidence of the fact that everyone shares their points of view."

I don't concede that I "flew off the handle." I didn't call anyone names (unlike another poster who arguably equated Democrats with terrorists). I just pointed out that not everyone here hates Democrats.

I don't think my use of the term "danger" is hyperbole. I could cite Iraq war body counts, infringements on civil liberties, and a lot of other examples to support my use of that word. But as I have said repeatedly, I don't want to debate politics in this forum. It doesn't belong here. I wish someone else hadn't started it. But for the reasons explained in my original post, I'm not going to ignore it when someone else starts it. My hope is that it is dropped or moved from this thread. Until it is dropped, or the mods shut it down, I'm going to give equal time to opposing points of view which I and a lot of others share.
