Yes, because apparently you already knew the obvious answer (that some people choose not to).
I don't know. Must be your extreme education showing.

I know that you believe. What I meant was that your original answer was something like "I would say in such a way...", and not the actual words that you would say if you were in his position.
Someone needs to make a bet on how many points Kobe scored against Bruce Bowen the year Bowen won DPOY.
I did not compare Manu to them. I actually said he is nothing like them. All I said is that everyone has free reign to express their beliefs, but if they want to be taken seriously they should do it in a palatable way.
DId she? Maybe her definition of palatable isn't compatible with your definition.
Hence all the agreement and misunderstanding.
Manu in this case, is not one of those people.
Was Manu insensitive?
From you.
Wrong.
So you should only say what you believe if your audience believes in the same things.
Anyway, now that DPG has thoroughly ruined a topic that could have just been interesting answers from Manu about a variety of things, can we get back on track?
Anyone who wants to express their right to talk about or not talk about their religion can do it in the Political forum. Thanks.
What have I done?
I wanted to see why some people thought "stars" kept these things to themselves. I am sure many people have inquired about Duncan's beliefs.
Last word from me: One does not define "palatable" for another, no matter how one tries.
So, new thread for translation: All in favor?
Only if it's done in a palatable way.
This is what all this stemmed from. All I said is that I would be shocked if he just flat came out and said this in direct context. I did not say he was right nor wrong. But Kori likes to point fingers at me for having to defend myself (whether she agrees or not) when this turned into people attacking me and taking things out of context.
There's no right or wrong way. I respect everyone's right to translate.
Remember that, urunobili. Seriously though, I hope you get well so you can open a clutter-free thread for the translation of this piece.
No, you can deal with preaching more than others can. Speak for yourself you dimwitted ass.
By your logic, someone should muzzle themselves when asked a direct question because it may not fall in line with the "perceptions of most"?
I'll borrow an extreme metaphorical/logical leap from your book: Once the "perceptions of most" were that blacks should not be allowed to drink from the same water fountains as white people. Your logic and your argument are complete .
Ya, that is hilarious. Mock my years of trying to educate myself because I do not vote. Your a .
I can almost hear you crying through my computer screen.
Classic.
This thread is back alive . . .
An honest typo at 4:30 a.m. Wow that is classic. Want to hear Shoog's take on the matter.
To clarify all the bull . All I was trying to say is that I am surprised a man of Manu's stature (both in this country and his own), that is coached on how to be politically correct and speak to reporters, fans and other media would answer so bluntly a question about such a serious matter. That is all. No judgment on his beliefs, no beef with how he answered and no problems with being honest. All I said is I think there is a way to be honest and discrete with such widely regarded sensitive material.
Restarting a fight probably isn't the best use of this reopened thread.
robinson is no better than manu, except he was a much better basketball player, an american, and a man of god, manu on the other hand is ty washed up from argentina whos down with lucifer
The "no god" people are getting just as vicious as the religious nuts.
Ok, maybe not quite that close yet.
I don't see why Manu not believing in God is a big deal. That doesn't effect what he does on and off the court for the Spurs and the way us fans look up to him. He's still a damn good player and a good person either way. I respect him for being honest when asked the question. I think personal beliefs are just that-personal- and a lot of players probably wouldn't comment on their religious beliefs. Kudos to Manu for saying what he believes.
Manu was agnostic all his life and you people know that today???
