I don't know who's going to agree with this but........

The last two times a discussion on homosexuality has come up one poster got offended. It's a shame that open discussions of ANY nature can't take place without someone responding like they're getting personally attacked. So my suggestion going forward is to avoid further hurt feeling maybe this is a topic we should just avoid.

apparently to some, opinions are only important if everyone agrees with you.

So in ALL sincerity to both Brian from the Duck Dynasty discussion & Al from this latest discussion, If you found my personal opinions insensitive you have my apologies. I guess Politics & religion are not the only two subjects one should avoid.

Going forward, though I think its bullshit, to avoid hurt feeling this topic is off limits to me. Have a good night everyone

screw that... in my opinion, if I want to talk about it, I will... if someone is too sensitive to discuss things like an adult, they can go fly a kite...

^^^^ I'm with Hammer Rick, as a forum if we can't speak our opinions then we lose more than our voice. We have all been on the unpopular side in discussions, and yes, sometimes people puff up verbally, so what, Rick keep commenting, Hammer you are 100% right.

And furthermore, there is now this crap about Richard Petty/Danica Patrick... all he did was say if she were a man, no one would know who he was... and he is being harshly criticized for being sexist... give me a break... Fucking liberals are taking all the fun and joy out of sports...

 

[Majorball]

Petty is right.

...^^^ if you bastids would simply temper your arrogance and try to act civil towards others, we wouldn't have these incidents.

 

[Hammerojustice]

Petty is right.

Exactly... He is right both on saying no one would now her if she weren't a woman & he is right defending himself and saying it isn't sexist...

He's 100% right, I mean look, she's been in the business now what 10 years? and she hasn't won a damn thing. So yes, if she weren't a woman she wouldn't even be in the news & NO ONE would know who the hell she was.

...actually she has won (Indy car)...but in NASCAR she's more of marketing tool. And I will concede that if she were not attractive she wouldn't even have a sponsor by now.

...Petty's Son Kyle also mouthed off about Danika awhile back, and he really has no room to talk because if it were not for his Father's name, Kyle probably would have ended up as a pastry chef. His racing career was less than notable.

Bingo on both counts... But even in Indy, she wasn't great.... good enough to get some attention... But not a lot... and yes, Kyle is slightly better than Danica, but not by much... He isn't the worst announcer either (not the best), but he definitely rides on his father's coat tails...

Now I'm waiting for some NEW poster here to materialize calling us all sexist.

 

[Majorball]

How would Howard Cosell report this. I am so sick and tired of politically correct instead of just correct.

I am trying to imagine the newly fabricated screen name... "youreawomanhater", "whyhatewomen", "whydoyouhatewomen"? Maybe something else?
