No, all Irish DO NOT fight. That is an ignorant, bigoted stereotype.
They're usually too drunk to fight anyway.
Yes, that one actually is true. They also drink too much and get their ass kicked in fights on a regular basis.

Do they all protect their Lucky Charms?
Ya think yer funny, do ya? I'll be kickin' yer ass jus' as soon as I finish this pint o' Murphy's!!Yes, that one actually is true. They also drink too much and get their ass kicked in fights on a regular basis.
Well, I'm part Scots-Irish, so I come from people that even the Irish and Scots didn't want and didn't even bother shipping to Australia.
thank you for not saying "Scotch-Irish"Well, I'm part Scots-Irish, so I come from people that even the Irish and Scots didn't want and didn't even bother shipping to Australia.
Anybody see Team America?
There's a part where the team leader, Spotteswood, realizes that because of his racist stereotyping they have been chasing the wrong terrorists. It goes something like...
"Team, this is all my fault...it's because of my own narrowminded racism that all this time I thought all terrorists were mid-eastern, but they're not...THEY'RE GODDAMNED GOOKS!!! Damn my racist ways!! I'll never be a racist again!
If there's two things I can't stand, it's racism and s.
I didn't insult you because I disagreed. I insulted you because I agreed, and yet you rebutted me. That reflects poorly on your intelligence.
I've noticed this from you over a couple of months -- that you are incapable of sophisticated thought. On every issue, no matter how complicated, there are only two possible opinions in your mind, and the least deviation from yours you interpret as total disagreement. This is a symptom of low cognitive skills.
Yes. It is silly and petty. Read what I've posted -- it's called reading comprehension.So is all this talk about changing every team nickname.
And yet that is exactly what most of these schools have done. It is why Florida State is especially irritated -- they cooperate with the actual real-life Seminole tribe in the use of these symbols. It's free advertising for the tribe, its traditions, and hopefully for them, its casinos.What makes think that these nicknames are meant to insult? Maybe they are use to keep the memory alive?
Shaking every hand is just plain impractical.
The NCAA is telling them it doesn't matter what the tribes themselves think, because Myles Brand is determined to wash the blood off his hands of what happened to American Indians by not letting teams use the nicknames. Which, of course, is asinine on his part. Short of giving them their land and their old way of life back, there's no real res ution. Making it the "Florida State Swamp Dragons" and "Utah Beezz" doesn't change anything. It doesn't get any Seminole children out of poverty. It just helps Myles Brand and his liberal buddies pat themselves on the back about how sensitive and enlightened they are. Thinking that this somehow makes up for anything, to me, is more insulting than even the most offensive use of nicknames in the first place.
Really, they have fans lampooning Jesus in the stands at Saints games? Where? Can you produce a photo of that?Uh...We do have the Saints and they have fans that do that in the stands....let's rename them too.
There are better things for the NCAA to do, certainly. It should be up to the individual schools to decide what their nicknames should be. If they want to change like Stanford did, so be it. But we don't need a nanny state to make those decisions.Like I said if you don't let a name insult you then that name becomes nothing but a bunch of letters. There are better things to do that to worry about team nicknames.
But it's still rude to use the name without asking. For example, while it's true you are an unintelligent fool, a true dullard, an archetypical example of a stupid human being who cannot comprehend nor articulate thoughts on anything higher than a basic level, it's rude for me to point that out. Other posters may have the opinion that I am rude and kind of an asshole for treating you like this. They have a perfect right to believe that, and in fact their opinion has some validity.
However, that does not mean that Kori should come in and ban me. Similarly, while many may think certain uses of native nicknames are inappropriate, it doesn't mean that the NCAA should exercise the authority to ban their use.
Obviously, I don't expect you to understand the analogy.
Ah, laddy, I'm sorry I got cross with ya. Ya know I love ya like my own brother! Come have a drink with me!Well, I'm part Scots-Irish, so I come from people that even the Irish and Scots didn't want and didn't even bother shipping to Australia.
Scotch? Where? I want some!thank you for not saying "Scotch-Irish"
If it's naigh Scottish its crap!thank you for not saying "Scotch-Irish"
What size ya want?
Wee, naught so wee, or FRIGGIN' HUGE!!!!!!
I have seen people in the stands on TV in robes holding two tablets that seem to represent the 10 commandments.I have seen people in robes holding two tablet that seem to represent the 10 commandments.
And yet you say this you say you didn't insult me....I would say this is an insult.I've noticed this from you over a couple of months -- that you are incapable of sophisticated thought.
I didn't insult you because I disagreed. I insulted you because I agreed, and yet you rebutted me.
You agreed but yet you said there was a rebuttle. Isn't a rebuttle usually associated with disagrement? And yet you imply I am an idot? If felt you felt you agreed then why insult.
Please point out which opinions you are referring to? I have my point of view and wht you state here can go with just about anyone in this forum, so you stoop to insults when you disagree?On every issue, no matter how complicated, there are only two possible opinions in your mind, and the least deviation from yours you interpret as total disagreement. This is a symptom of low cognitive skills.
I have not seen posters say anything about this. And then you say they may be correct about their opinion? Feeling a bit guilty?Other posters may have the opinion that I am rude and kind of an asshole for treating you like this. They have a perfect right to believe that, and in fact their opinion has some validity.
I don't insult anyone here who I disagree with. You can even ask around the board. I disagree with many peopand agree with many people here, and vice-versa. I HAVE NEVER INSULTED ANYONE. If you have insult people like this then I pity you.

That's just out of line. You may be thinking that you sound like some sophisticated, cleverly caustic insult artist with that drivel, but you're really just coming across as another dime-a-dozen asshole. I have no idea what would inspire you to resort to such unneccessary nastiness and hostility, but you really should try to get ahold of yourself.
Thank you.
You're welcome
He's being a and I think everyone can see that even if they don't say so.
Actually, I think this is the Political Forum and that's pretty much par for the course here.
yeah, people get nasty here and get carried away sometimes but this...
"you are an unintelligent fool, a true dullard, an archetypical example of a stupid human being who cannot comprehend nor articulate thoughts on anything higher than a basic level, it's rude for me to point that out."
it's just needless hostility and abuse and it's way over the top.
I stand by my post.

cherylsteele: "What?! No, it doesn't. It equals four!!"
Extra Stout: "You're an idiot."
cherylsteele: "Oh, so if someone disagrees with you, you call them an idiot, huh?"
Sorry if you feel belittled, but frankly I don't care.
Since you can't understand my posts, just don't respond to them. I promise you can go on posting incoherently at will, and as long as it is not in response to me, I won't bother you. But I don't suffer fools at all.
Jelly --> apparently you have mistaken this for the "Nice People Being Nice" forum. Let me warn you that while some of my posts might sound intelligent, and you might even enjoy them, I am extraordinarily unfriendly, hostile, and distant on this forum, and don't really care to change. So just remember this -->
From the Tampa Tribune:
Max Osceola, a member of the five-person Tribal Council of the Seminole Tribe of Florida, said the NCAA's ban is presumptuous. He said NCAA officials did not consult the tribe before issuing their ruling. The tribe passed a resolution in June supporting the school's use of the nickname and tribal images.
``We're not going to change our point of view,'' Osceola said. ``Our tribe has endorsed it, and we would hope another group would respect our wishes, but I guess the NCAA knows better for the Seminoles than the Seminoles do.''
Osceola drew a distinction between FSU's use of the tribe's name and the Washington Redskins. The latter is a name American Indians find offensive, Osceola said.
Let's have the NCAA go all the way, and ban the use of any Native American terms in their compe ions.
For white people to use words like "Texas" to describe their sports teams is offensive to the Caddoes, for one. Let's rename it "Oppressionland" so that we all remember what bad little white people we are. "Oppressionland A&M Aggies." How's that?
HILARIOUS.
NOW IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, MY AFRO-AMERICANBERRY IS RINGING.
