let me take this seriously for a moment. "What the fuck is the issue?"

Leave aside the fear-mongering "THE CHILDREN" appeal--more children are harmed every day listening to John Parr revamping his FAIL of a song to [CENSORED--Ed.] His Lord and Savior St. Timothy of Teblow--what harm occurs?

I will tell you what The Problem [Tm--Ed.] is--and it does not involve YOUR M[Get on with it.--Ed.]

Bigots fear evidence that overturns their prejudice.

Cannot educate black people--might be like us. That was actually similar to an argument used by Southerners--if you abolish slavery, screeched John "Redneck Racist from Central Casting" C. Calhoun, then the blacks may actually supplant white people in the South

Cannot let them serve in the military--might prove them competent.

Cannot let them marry us--might prove they are the same.

Cannot allow a different religious/philisophical opinion--it may have merit--and, worse--ours may not? :fear:

Cannot allow gays to be "normal." Cannot allow a normal variant of humanity. For what is the point of bigotry if you cannot lie to yourself that you are inherently better than all others despite the horridly clear evidence to the contrary?

--J.D.

HA, I see you are more like me than you will ever admit, so up yours, - asshole.

I see a lot of that lately and I think that the ire is somewhat misguided. Though, your framing it within the context of playing into existing societal gender pressure is more reasonable than some of the other stuff I've seen.

Still, that topic is probably best suited for a different thread.

[Tangent--Ed.]Went to bar with Squealers Fan Friend which was filled with Squealers and God Botherers. Denver does not actually have fans outside of, well, Denver.

The God Squad genuflected--yes, there was a word for it folks! --with every good play and sang that chant. Now my friend is level-headed, but a few Squealers had been drinking since . . . well the day before. Obnoxious Football Drunk Fan--"GO BIG BEN YEAAAAHHH" is actually preferable to Chanting God-Squad Teblowers.

For some reason, they did not appreciate me in a Welker Jersey assuring the Squealer fans that "don't worry, we'll beat them for you next week." I have no idea why.

Oh and t3h R34lz chant is This[/Tangent.--Ed.]

Ooooo! I want a piece of that discussion.

Right on both counts, yes.

Um, hmm, child's plaything specific or more general "Gender and Kids and You" or what kind of topic?

[Doctor X]

So, about these almost dangerous results . . . where are they?

Nuh uh, you're not gonna trap me. Mr. Pea warned me all about starting new threads. I'm not gonna do it.

[LadyShea]

I'll do it, I just need to know the focus so I can come up with an award winning title

[Kael]

I was gonna snipe you and call it "The Kid-Toy Gender Fight Thrad." You can probably do better than that, though.

[LadyShea]

Maybe I'll steal part of it, now...ha in your face!

And where does it go? Is it politics? Philosophy? Lifestyle? Exactly what category of the offers a home for Pink Legos?

I work in Denver and live just north of there. It has been ghastly.

Things began so well with the Donks circling the drain at 1-4. Then this Teblow bullshit happened.

Now it's all "He's a WINNER! He has MORAL CHARACTER! He INSPIRES others! His faith makes him STRONG! He will REDEFINE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN NFL QUARTERBACK!"



And don't ever suggest that the Teblowers might feel differently if their hero had the exact same skill set but was a dark-skinned black Muslim named Ahmed Abdul Habib. At that point you'll hear about how "THIS IS NOT A RACE THING" and how it's not the fault of Teblowers that if you give a black quarterback the ball at midfield he'll end up in the parking lot with a bucket of chicken.1

And no one ever, ever talks about anything else. A sample conversation from two days ago:

Boss: TEEEBOW! TEEEBOW! TEEEBOW!

Me: Have you noticed? There's an NBA season after all, and despite displaying their usual biblical-scale buffoonish incompetence, Nuggets management somehow put together a creditable team!

Boss: DUDE WTF DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH TIM TEBOW?! TEEEBOW! TEEEBOW! TEEEBOW!

Yeah, well, Squealer fans can suck my stubby lily-white crank after last weekend's abomination, which ratcheted up the hellishness around here to levels previously considered unattainable.

I am hopeful about this weekend. Donk linebackers and safeties bear a strong resemblance to claymation figures when attempting man coverage on tight ends, a singularly unfortunate circumstance when taking on the Pats.

Unfortunately, I fear that only a league-record blowout will quiet down the Teblowers even a little. Earlier this week I heard ESPN's SkDip Bayseless yammering mindlessly about how if only they would have let Teblow run the ball on 4th and goal early in the second quarter instead of kicking that field goal the Donks (that is to say, Teblow) would have won that game against the Pats a few weeks back. A mere 18-point beatdown means nothing to these jackoffs.

The boycott doesn't seem to be going well as the video hating on trans children has been set to private. I assume the parents behind this are reformulating their hate. Hopefully the actual girl learns something from this.

[Demimonde]

No it isn't going anywhere at all. I just bought cookies from a girl and her mom. Mom had not heard anything about the boycott but when I told her about it she thought it was really dumb and that they are totally missing the entire point of scouting.

I agreed and bought an extra box of thin mints.

[Clutch Munny]

I have to say, given the choice between the intellectually inert, spiritually absurd, and rectally horseshod Tim Tebow, and Ben "Here, lemme just rape you in the women's bathroom while my bodyguard stands lookout" Roethlisberger, I have to just hope that a meteor hits the stadium and kills them both.

But when that isn't possible, it's Teblow over Rapelisberger every time.

By sucking, failing to get an education, as well as performing unnecessary operations on children in foreign countries?

Why do you hate Jesus, Stephen he died for you sins! And will punish you in eternal flame! BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!!!!

But does not love children with cancer . . . no, completing a short pass to a wide-open receiver who then runs 60+ yards is FAR more important than childhood cancer. Besides, those children are weak and unfocused!

Lttle shits! If only they Tebowed? They would be healed!

Or not.

If not then, clearly, it is part of The Plan.

And don't ever suggest that the Teblowers might feel differently if their hero had the exact same skill set but was a dark-skinned black Muslim named Ahmed Abdul Habib. At that point you'll hear about how "THIS IS NOT A RACE THING"

Race and religion. If a Jewish player did . . . I do not know . . . what do Jews do when they win? Crucify a Christian of course!1





Too soon?

But, yes, if you mention "what about a Muslim player," you get "THIS IS A CHRISTIAN NATION!!!11!" scream. The hypocrisy remains astounding but expected.

And no one ever, ever talks about anything else.

Fair-weather Christians. We have a lot of Bruins fans. "That Bobby Orr! Love him! What line does he play?"

Yeah, well, Squealer fans can suck my stubby lily-white crank after last weekend's abomination, which ratcheted up the hellishness around here to levels previously considered unattainable.

As I told my stunned Squealer Friend--after informing him he now knows how I felt during the Pats-Jets playoff game . . . kept thinking you were winning . . . kept tripping over your dick--as the Teblowers chanted: "they are pissing me off." I actually started rooting for the Squealers. Chanting Teblowers are, surprising, more obnoxious than Drunken Rapist Lovers.

I am hopeful about this weekend. Donk linebackers and safeties bear a strong resemblance to claymation figures when attempting man coverage on tight ends, a singularly unfortunate circumstance when taking on the Pats.

Depends on whether or not the Pats D remembers they are not playing badminton.

Unfortunately, I fear that only a league-record blowout will quiet down the Teblowers even a little. Earlier this week I heard ESPN's SkDip Bayseless yammering mindlessly about how if only they would have let Teblow run the ball on 4th and goal early in the second quarter instead of kicking that field goal the Donks (that is to say, Teblow) would have won that game against the Pats a few weeks back. A mere 18-point beatdown means nothing to these jackoffs.

Why Bayless has a job I do not know. A more reactionary screamer . . . oh wait! That is what ESPN wants! Though I agree with Charles Barkley "And our long national nightmare continues."

The MOST hilarious was "polls" [--Ed.] that asked who you would rather be? Tom Brady or Tim Tebow?

Brady:

1. >130 million personal wealth.
2. Banged Tara Reid before she skanked.
3. Bangs Gisell who has a >200 million personal wealth.

Tebow:

1. Virgin.

Though the irony is if Team Buchen ever divorces she will own him money in the settlement

I wonder what Teblow's opinion of this OP is? Anyone ask him? He seems happy to "confess" all of the time. And, no, I do not buy the "he does not seek attention" crap from his apologists.

--J.D.

1If the Pats do beat the shit out of them, some idiots will bring up the owner is Jewish.

Returning to the OP I am still waiting to learn from the few proponents what the harm is "to the CHILDREN." As for the video mentioned, typical bigot--all brave when they think they have an agreeing audience.

[Watser?]

It's like you're speaking a foreign language or something.

Ok, well you are of course. But a more foreign one than usual.

though I do find rabid fandom quite the paradigm for religions, especially fundamentalism. Ask those screaming in Stephen's head "TEBOW!!!!" why they think Tebow Denver can win and you get pretty much the quote he gave above:

He's a WINNER! He has MORAL CHARACTER! He INSPIRES others! His faith makes him STRONG! He will REDEFINE WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN NFL QUARTERBACK!

Okay . . . and how does that help throwing more interceptions than touch down passes and completing less than half of your passes?

Return to the OP rhetorically ask WHY people oppose what happened to the extent of calling for a boycott? I write rhetorical because you probably know the answers, none of which have anything to do with "reason."

I'm going to buy $100 worth of Girl Scout cookies and donate them to a nursing home.

I sure as hell don't need to be eating them.
