some things never change.

For 7 years I coached little league. I reserved a field at one of the city parks every year, on tuesday and thursdays every season. This one time we got to the field and there was a mentally challenged softball team practicing on our field. I went up to the manager of the team and asked how long they were going to be. Till Dark he replied. I told him that I pay to reserve this field and he is welcome to the outfield if he wanted to run some drills. He declined and told me his team was staying. About this time I hear the kids shouting, turn around and 2 kids from my team are fighting with the other team. Well we get everyone under control ( and that was not easy) about the time two park rangers show up. We have to explain to the rangers what happened. They kick everyone off the field and ban us from using the field for a week. We practiced on a grass field that day and when we were done I called the group together. I explained to my 9 and 10 year olds about not fighting and what happened was wrong, and always look for a better way to solve problems, and that we could not practice on the field next week. When I was done I asked the team what we had learned today. Thomas Stone shouted out, " we learned it's stupid to argue with the retards" It was a moment where I actually busted out laughing. Thomas had busted out with the life lesson of the day. It's funny how I will never forget Thomas, but there are times I can't follow his advice. Thomas Lost his Father that year, he had a strong mother that kept him on a tight leash. Thomas graduated from west point 2 years ago. He played 3 years on the Army football team. He is now an officer stationed some where overseas hopefully not
" Arguing with retards."

I don't know you and can't speak to whether you are a liar or thief but this post makes you sound like an asshole.

Why??? Inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe he has a kid or relative who is mentally handicapped. I try my best to teach my kids not to use that word out of context. Just guessing that's what he meant and maybe another teaching moment was there to be had.


I might as well douche this thread up some more, can't hurt it anymore.

It's ok. The PC police will let you know if you have said something unacceptable.

It was a direct quote from a 10 year old. Sometimes the pure honesty of a kids point of view is funny. However not P.C. but I figured you guys could figure it out. As far as looking like an ass hole. Im good with that.

 

[NGABronco]

I don't give a rat's patootie what you guys do or think!!! I want more pics of the popcorn gal!!!;D;D;D

Bax, I have never met you but it sounds like we were cut from the same cloth. I've been called an asshole so many times I accept it as my second middle name. Some people have a hard time with brute honesty and call it offensive because it is not "PC" in todays world. I loved your story and it is something you should cherish. Sometimes people forget the reality of things and it is best told by the honesty of babes. I for one was born well before PC was an issue. Being a SW Floridian and spending many days grouper digging I was extremely pissed when it was no longer PC to call a Jewfish a Jewfish... now they call it a Gargantuan Grouper.... WTF is this country coming to when you can no longer call a spade a spade for fear you might offend someone who has no f***ing clue as to your conversation, let alone your intent. Stay in the ass club, I have taken up permanent residence in it as I consider trying to sugar coat everything as to not offend someone to be cowardly and spineless. I would not ever intend to hurt my fellow man physically but if he took something I said the wrong way and it upset him, I certainly cannot take blame for my actions based on his inability to reason with the cold hard truth.

The stupid part about it was that the Jew fish was so named because an early settlement of Jews on Jamaica (the only Jewish settlement in the new world in the 1600's) preferred the fish because it was clean and Kosher. So the stupid name is an homage to the preferences and cultures of the new world Jew. It was their fish and so named for them.

Oh and yes Bax is an asshole, he had the audacity to feed me burgers and offer me beer when I went over there. He thinks he can just buy people off with burgers and beer. I think I saw him kick a cat too.

 

[bax]

OK OK steaks next time. Dont let my wife find out about the cat thing.

This disagreement between bax and chuck has gone on long enough. It's been hashed and rehashed and then it comes back up and we go through the same thing yet again. There are plenty of old threads on the subject for people to read through if they're so inclined.

At this point I'm going to ask you to take it offline. Your points have been made often enough. Please move on and don't bring it up again.

Thread locked. PM me if you need to discuss further.
