I don’t think he was in anyway discrediting the alleged victim. I think it’s hard to imagine the horrifying experience and truly have knowledge on the subject unless you’re a victim yourself. I think any rational person would find it odd that anyone would pursue a civil case in lieu of a criminal case. Yes, I…

It was a poor comparison, but anything that draws attention to the “amateur” athletics discussion is fine by me.

Equally bored. This is somewhat of a subjective subject. I find the death penalty extreme, whether it’s a belief or act, and trying to distinguish which is more “extreme” is irrelevant in my mind. Also, commenting on the use of one of the more commonly used acronyms seemed to be an attempt at making me look inferior,…

Running out of ways to make yourself feel superior?

LOL not agreeing with your statements makes me obtuse. You must be a lot of fun to debate with. I’m sorry, I just fail to see a large difference in extremism between anything that is a reasonable free choice being punishable by death. Agree to disagree pal. Calm the fuck down

You literally just repeat the same statement, over and over and over, without elaborating on how they are different. Two extreme beliefs, both punishable by death. I fail to see how you distinguish one as being worse than the other if both result in death. As well, I fail to see any point in your statements. Muslim…

I said that punishing those acts by death is equally extreme.

I would say anything that prevents reasonable free choice and is punishable by death for not following is equally as extreme.

How is it different? You’re projecting your religious beliefs into the law of the land. You’re right it’s not the same thing, but it might as well be.

What are these “things”? I guess I don’t see much of a difference between banning abortion (or any other issue tied to religious beliefs) and making apostasy illegal. It seems to be bordering the same thing. To be clear, both are bad.

You despise false equivalencies, yet laid out a scenario where believing in death by one person’s beliefs is more extreme than the other.

Do you actually believe one of these death scenarios is MORE extreme than the other?

No, but one extremist did kill 85 children on an island in Norway. I suppose the sexism angle most Christian’s take is the lesser of the two evils.

I’m not sure I can support the Godly logic that a player is destine to be injured regardless of when he steps onto the field. The vast majority of these injuries are avoidable. It’s tough to get a concussion in a game if you’re not playing. I think Quin has been watching too much Final Destination....

Although it would be great to have each child receive individual coaching, it’s not realistic in a team setting. I did many sports camps as a kid, and had coaches help in the off season, but it would make practices 3-4 hours long if each kid was receiving individual coaching at every practice. Taekwondo is essentially…

I always love when guys say they would do the exact same thing, after the decision they made clearly didn’t end the way they wanted. You don’t see this in any other profession.

I don’t understand why you would run a slant towards the middle of the defense, which provides the greatest risk for a turnover (DB undercutting the route, tipped ball, etc). I wouldn’t agree with this play call if it was the middle of the 1st quarter. If anything, you throw a fade route to the back corner or a roll…

I think your kid’s lesson in taekwondo can be applied to almost every sports team for young kids. I didn’t say I don’t think kids should be encouraged while playing a sport, and I don’t think that’s what anyone is saying concerning participation awards. I would expect that my kid’s coaches are teaching them and…

How did you equate “don’t belong on the field” to “don’t deserve to play”? You’re looking for a reason to paint my comment as superior or something. I’ll revise my sentence to say “some kids aren’t talented enough where they should be playing (insert sport)“. That doesn’t mean that they don’t deserve the chance to…

Agreed. The changing in interests isn’t the only thing to blame, I just think it’s the biggest. In reality, many of those kids probably aren’t good enough to play, and I wouldn’t blame them if they didn’t want to try out. I don’t think that’s necessarily the same as “not trying/not failing” as much as it is a…
