Here is the article: http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ball_dont_lie/post/Gay-rights-group-complains-as-Kobe-is-caught-usi?urn=nba-wp1277
It seems Kobe used to word "******" at a ref. Honestly it seems the "gay community" takes things way out of proportion and needs to relax a little, even if he is a celebrity the gay community needs to chill.
We (the general public) are tightening up the "gay slur" leash a little to tight. I know I use the word ****** or thats gay when I do things, even if I look at a pink motorcycle I'm like that's gay. It has nothing to do with gays in general, so why flip out over it?
I agree.
We flip out because we're tired of words that are used to describe us also used to describe anything that's seen as bad, weak or negative. If you used that six letter word around me, I'd probably clock you. You wouldn't the N word around a black person, so why do you think it's OK to use the F word?
BTW- Bryant apologized. So all is good.
So violence is an acceptable solution? So I can beat Gay persons up (Don't twist this analogy, I've stated numerous times on this board, I'm all for Gay rights), I just can't, in their opinion, verbally insult them? :rolleyes:

rdowns - let me give a +1 on your comment. Our MR forums community is getting more and more clogged up with this mindless babble / garbage. It really detracts from the value of the forums.

sad that old people dont want their children having sex when they are both old enough, or sad that those two are haveing sex?
Ok, I am 47. And if the poster were my my son and living under my roof, I am not sure how I would respond, to be honest.
To today, to paraphrase IIRC Chris Rock (or maybe Eddie Murphy), in my youth a shot cured you, but this ****** kills.". In my youth we did not have AIDS or Herpes, and most anything else was cured by a shot.
It is important that parents give a consistent and clear message of expecttions. A "blast" from my "past"; My best bud (mate) and I took our gf's to his gf's parents beach house the summer we graduated (my bud's parents were there with us).
We had gone to the beach late at night' but my bud's gf expressed concern that her parents were known to take late night beach walks. So that killed any thoughts we had of beach "fun". So we went back to the house. Ended up playing a board game. My bud's gf's parents came out and suggested that we quit the game, and maybe go down to the beach instead.
Talk about mixed messages!
The key is, and we don't still know all the details, is that the poster is 18. Is he still in HS? If he is the law is vague as to the "responsibilities" his parents still have legally till he graduates. If he has graduated from HS, then I take the perspective that my Dad had when I was "under age". "Either ist is my way, or the highway".
I am saying this only because it seems that the posters parents have reservations on this sleep over (thanks Sun Baked for the heads up). I am not so sure how I would respond if these two were my son or daughter.
So glad that I don't have any children. For if I had a daughter, she might be locked up in the attic till she was 35 [joke]. And my son would have been made fearful of "going all the way". For it was such a talk by my Dad, that made me think twice before getting stupid. And this was before people thought about suing for anything and everything.

Torture is never justified under any circumstances and that includes sleep deprivation, ritual humiliation, or anything else that is euphemistically known as "Enhanced interrogation"
Fighting terrorists should be done no differently to fighting any other war (i.e. within the Geneva Convention).

If the iPhone 5 is delayed as much as some suppliers are speculating ( in to next year ), the bright spot would be that the iPhone 4 price would likely get slashed to keep sales going. I'd still ride it out with my 3Gs though...unless I gave in to the temptation to try another platform.
i was tempted to try apple for a year, and me poking my nose around this area of the forum trying to see when the next one drops. Sucks that if they do delay this one i wont be trying them out this year. I would love to do such a thing so each year i can bounce back and forth from android to ios to windows 7 give them all time to keep improving.

I could use the Volt right about now......
The only electric cars I would consider are the Tesla and Fisker Karma. Personally, mpg does not enter my train of thought when purchasing a car. And it MUST growl when on the throttle ;-)

Hey guys,
Anyone know of any drivers for a Linksys wireless USB Adapter for OS X?
I have a TiVo with the home media option, and would like to stream music etc, but I can't get the Mac or the TiVo to see the Adapter.
Needless to say, it came with a CD ROM stuffed with WIndows drivers.....

The bill is said to have bipartisan support, and the proponents have pointed out that it would save the state tens of millions of dollars. Of current topical interest is the fact that the lawmakers supporting the bill are marketing it as a cost-saving measure more than anything else.
It's somewhat sad how people's lives may boil down to a state government looking to save a few dollars. If it will save the money I will support ending it.
