Dude, I was making fun of both of us.For posting about serious things on a football site.Populated largely by a bunch of lowlifes.
It's okay, I understand. I just misunderstood the tone. And hey, it's perfectly fine to discuss serious things on here sometimes, whether its ranging from organized religion, gun control, inflation, or even the war in Ukraine (which has been discussed admirably on its EE thread for nearly 3 years now). As long as it could be done and while I recognize that isn't always easy, their have to be enough people to discuss it with cooler heads, otherwise it never gets solved or no one ever gets a good sense to understanding it. Besides, the EE thread is exactly living up to what its purpose was intended to be: discussing essentially everything else other then Saints football or Politics (which have their own boards/forums). I don't mind discussing ancient Rome or Greece, interpreting Nietzsche, Kant, Rousseau, or Voltaire, or Flavius Josephus (I plan on buying Antiquities of the Jews/The Jewish Wars for Christmas; some ancient and modern Jewish rabbinical scholars/even secular Jewish historians consider him a traitor) or pre-historical Neolithic hunter-gatherers establishing this planet's first small, sedentary-scale farming/agricultural communities which then lead to first "proto-cities" then city-states and then civilizations.
Football is this nation's most popular sport and while it has more then its fair share of flaws, when we see witness great games, watch unbelievable indidivual statistical achievements like Barkley rushing for the 5th most yards in a single NFL regular-season game in history last night, it's truly magical and transcendent and reveals one example, among many, at how still great this country can still be when it comes together.
