The manusuckers would I am sure.heck, I bet sbm would be happy if you crash somewhere
I second that. Like I said, humble guy.
Don't get me wrong, the tongue-in-cheek comment was about Pop, not you. Although I would disagree about manusuckers being happy. Pop is an instrumental part of Manu having the role he has.
i figured you were saying you or they would be happy if I died. I get the joke now. Lol.
I see some interesting conversations happening. My biggest issue with Manu is that on the basketball court he no longer has the passion to win, he no longer has the passion to be the best he can be. Father time has caught up to him. No one that still has an inch of compe ive edge on him would say the things that Manu has said such as "so-so" and "I'm not fueled by revenge."
I said the same thing about Manu's lack of passion for the game right after the Heat won the championship and I got called a troll as usual. My music teacher once told me that if I wanted to be a successful musician, my profession (in my case playing a musical instrument) would have to become like my second wife. I would have to make my profession almost as important as my wife and family. In Manu's case, basketball should be his second wife. Basketball should be just as important as family if he wants to be the best he can be on the court.
Perhaps basketball was once the most important thing to Manu but obviously things have changed. The only reason that Manu didn't retire is because of that $14.5 M check the FO waved at him. Seeing those $$$ on the check gave him a little incentive to not retire but sadly he will be playing basketball trying to survive and go through the daily motions that he no longer enjoys all for the sake of money.
So which Spurs fans are right? The Manu apologists such as ElNono, NoFly3rScrub, dallasmavericklose, etc.? Or the non-homer Spurs fans such as Skull, hater, SBM, and myself? Only time will tell. So far, the scales are tipped in favor of the latter.
"As for other cultures, the American one is superior."
My god, you DO are one mother ing nazi, I was just trolling you around, but you gave yourself away just like that. I guess your arrogance was just stronger. Lol. On a side note, I don't have anything against Americans, in fact, I like many things from that culture.
Let's see... superior culture? Lol. Well, since you are obviously a ing piece of ignorant , lets shed some light in this matter for you. Firstly, of course, to say a culture is "superior" to others, just like that, that is, not specifying anything else, gives us the idea that you are talking about cultures as a whole. Well, educated people around the world, unlike you, tend to avoid this comparison of cutlures or ethnias, simply because, cultures are essentially made of not measurable things, they are just the way one group of people has of interepreting reality, expressing themselves, including arts, the traditions these people have, and simply the way they live. And it is wise to try and understand each cultur has its iden y, and we should give equal value to them. But hey, let's play your ignorant short-sighted game of which cultures are superior in specific things. You have said, little s bag, that:
"As for other cultures, the American one is superior. It has already incorporated all the best aspects of the others". Aside from that incredibly stupid and absolutely ignorant last sentence, let's see in how many of the measurable things, does your beloved nation, SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS, as you say, ranks first:
-Education Index (United Nations): your beloved nation ranks 13th. Oops.
-Human Development Index (United Nations): 3rd. Oops.
-Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index (United Nations): 16th. Double oops.
-GDP (Gross Domestic Product): your beloved nation ranks 7th.
-Life Expectancy (World Health Organisation): your superior nation ranks..... 33!!! Hahhaha...
But hey!!! your culture does rank first in some things:
-Military expenditure: 1st !!!! (your beatiful national anthem plays in background)
-Guns per capita: 1st! With a stunning 94.3 per 100 citizens! Followed by serbia with around 50 per 100.
-External debt: 1st!!! With around 70% more debt than number 2 in the list.
-Incarceration rate: 1st!!! National anthem plays.... but watch out, you are being followed by: 2.Seyc es, 3.Saint Kitts and Nevis, 4.U.S. Virgin Islands, 5.Cuba, 6.Ruwanda, 7.Anguila, 8.Russia, 9.Birith Virgin Islands, 10.El Salvador, 11.Bermuda, 12.Azerbaijan, 13.Belice, 14.Grenada, 15.Panama, 16.Antigua Barbuda, 17.Cayman Islands, 18.Thailand, 19.Barbados and 20.Saint Vincent. Keep it up America!
-Anddd, finally, you once had this one, but those dirty mexicans (I'm being ironic) have stolen the first place lately: http://gawker.com/america-is-no-long...worl-714151306 Go go go!
I can only speak for myself, but, he's going to be here for two more seasons, no matter who's right or wrong. He's going to get the minutes, and the role. I didn't make those decisions, but I did tell you you were going to be frustrated very early in the offseason
As a fan, I hope he does good, because that improves the Spurs chances. Ultimately, he's going to play well or not, be hurt or not, have the fire or not, regardless of what's posted here.
All that said, keep up the good work on the Kobe threads in the NBA forum. I'll be sure to join you on some of them
Blah blah blah blah.
America saved Europe twice from the Germans. Saved the world from communism. Landed men on the moon. Invented virtually every single thing on earth that made mankind better, safer, and healthier. Has shed more blood for less treasure to provide more freedom for more people than any nation on earth.
And without our Navy protecting the shipping lanes of the world the entire planet would suffer economically beyond anything you could imagine.
It is the selective amnesia of our ideals and adoption of leftist European wussy ideology that has made us decline.
Simply, we got soft like Manu.
Jealous that America set the standard that nobody has matched?
Please get lost, loser.

I've been wondering if your employers are aware of your belief that you 'hold the lives of spoiled entertainers and athletes like Manu in the palm(s)sic of your hand.' Seems like they might prefer somebody just a pinch less bat crazy (Manu pun intended) behind the wheel of their planes !!!??? I'm pretty sure Pop would. I also have more bad news for you....smashing a wall because you lost a ping-pong game is not a sign of strength. Even more bad news, Manu got signed for another two years and will be playing for the Spurs. He's also going to be inducted to the Hall of Fame not long after that!! Watch the Olympics in 2004, the NBA Finals in 2003, 2005, and 2007? Yeah.... he has a real losing mentality.
So you insist, although butthurted, with your extreme right-winger nazi ideology. You know, you are not very different from "the Germans" you refer to (you could have used the term "nazis", because accounting "Germans", just like that, responsible for the two World Wars is a very stupid thing to do, but hey, I understand you are just one ignorant piece of , so it's ok, you didn't know. Now you do.
So, what other incredibly stupid and abo ely ignorant bull came out of your mouth:
"[USA]Invented virtually every single thing on earth that made mankind better, safer, and healthier".
Let's then show everyone what a dum stupid mother ing piece of ignorant you are:
-Vaccines (England)
-Aspirin (Germany)
-Photography (France)
-Penicilin (UK)
-Toothbrush (China)
-Encyclopedia (Greece) But I guess you don't count this one as something useful to mankind. HAHAHAH
-Printing Press (Germany)
-Radio (Italy)
-First car (steam-powered in France / combustion-engine in Germany)
-Cement (England)
-X-ray (Germany)
-Microscope (Netherlands)
-Seat-belt (Sweden)
-Thermometer (Italy)
-Locomotive (England)
-Compass (China)
-Soap (Lebanon)
-Canned food (France)
-Electrocardiogram (Netherlands)
-Periodic Table (Russia)
-Eyeglasses (Italy)
-Gunpowder (China)
-Radar (Germany)
And that's just a sample to show you, useless patriotic rat, that your culture couldn't exist the way it does without the contributions from many oher cultures. In fact, many of these cultures are much older than yours, and yours mereley exist because those cultures existed first.
But hey, the invention you find most useful in life was invented by Americans: Viagra!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Well first of all, jerk, American culture is considered Western. Our Founders took the best ideas of Western Civilization and improved upon them, most notably the English. As a result, we became the greatest force for good and the most fertile garden for creativity, ingenuity, human advancement, upward mobility, and quality of life improvement the planet has ever seen.
We advanced the ball forward more than any nation ever because of OUR UNIQUE AND SUPERIOR CULTURE of individual liberty, self-reliance, and constant pursuit of excellence.
Yes, which is why I receive the best training in the world, fly the most well maintained jets on the planet, and am paid appropriately for my level of responsibility. Nothing crazy about it. The next time you fly thank the crew for taking their job seriously to protect you. They don't have eight turnovers in a Game Six. Talk about crazy.
I prefer Cialis myself.
Therese are just off the top of my head....
Basketball - USA (Oh the irony.)
Powered Flight - USA
Lasers - USA
Light Bulbs - USA
Transistors -USA
Satellites- USA
Anesthesia
Sextant
Atomic Power
Polio Vaccines (multiple)
Assembly Line
Cotton Gin
Microwave
Fiberglass
Bicycle
And the four things your ridiculous self is using to hurl unwarranted insults at me:
The Internet
Air Conditioning
Personal Computer
Swivel Chair
And probably using the microwave above to cook your frozen food. Another American invention among millions.
Any way........
It's not a question of the degree of training, I'm wondering if the FAA is aware of your unveiled threats against your passengers, and overt racist and bigoted views. When you spout off it's your decision whether the 'spoiled entertainers' live or die by your whim, it is a threat. I'm not challenging your proficiency by any means. Obviously, I find it doubtful you're not just trolling and probably are a male stewardess or something in real life. Believe me, I'm haunted by the loss more than most!
Well, something is pretty clear now, you are sinking in ignorance.
Let's see, you say "we became the greatest force for good".
The reason why America carried out most of the wars it has is not "for common good", as your superhero comic book education seems to have taught you, but rather for defending American economical interests or controlling new resources or markets.
This has been the case during the banana wars, during the early 20th century. For example, Panama, country that the US occupied for decades, forcing it to split from Colombia, so that the Panama isthmus, later a channel, would be under US control (and remained under US control until the year 2000!!!). Or Honduras, where America had fruit companies exploiting that country and its people. Ooops.
The same is true in 1960's Congo Crisis. Where the US-supported forces killed that country's first democratically ellected president, a revolutionary in Congo's independence from Belgium. After that the US supported a dictatorship. Oooops.
The same happened and happens in Middle East, where the US has great deal of interests, mainly related to oil. For example, in the Iraq-Iran war, where the US supported dictator Saddam Hussain. Oooops.
I am glad Americans own firearms, BTW. That is an inherently good thing as they save lives, particularly those assaulted by bigger, stronger attackers. My wife would have been likely raped and killed without a handgun. She shot an intruder with a Sig Sauer in the chest after he broke into our home while I was away. She put two 9mm rounds into him and he fled. Collapsed in the driveway. Any place else in the world she would have been a helpless victim. Thank God for our Right to Bear Arms in the USA.
Ohh, but you are deflecting right now. The point is not whether the American culture has made a huge, or even the biggest contribution techonologically to mankind. Hahaha, you are trying to deflect. Be a man now, not the coward rat you are showing to be. You said America had invented virtually everything that makes human beings life a safer life, blah blah, and before that you said American culture had incorporated ALL the good aspects of other cultures. Be a man, then, not a coward now. Defend that point or.... change your mind, sure. And those two incredibely arrogant and ignorant statements you've made are still there, like a dark putrid stain in you.
By the way, the bycicle was invented in Germany. And, one more interesting point. Many, if not most, of those inventions you claim are American, were done in close collaboration with other nations, because this guys that must look really weird to you, the scientist, generally aren't at all concerned with nationalism, but with human kind development. And another thing, many, if not most of those things invented in America, where invented by guys you "imported" from other countries, from Europe, those same "imports" you are now critizising, are what your nation of inmigrants is made of. HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Another one, the light bulb was invented in Europe long before Thomas Edison perfected it. HAHAHAHAHAH, you suck re
Blah blah blah.
Listen up, it'samanuidiot...
If America was only interested in its own well being we would go back to being isolationists. We wouldn't have rebuilt Germany and Japan after crushing them in World War II (the former on behalf of the entire European continent...a war in which the industrial might of this nation produced roughly 3/4 of everything on the planet!).
We wouldn't have defended South Korea and later Vietnam on behalf of their people, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan.
We wouldn't have opened communist and socialist countries to the wonderous free market system, most notably China.
We would have taken those precious oil fields for ourselves and obliterated anyone who dared stand in the way.
We would not have made friends with our adversaries.
America has opened up the world at her own expense. Frankly, I would prefer we were more selfish. I preferred cheap gas and lower prices for stuff. I liked it when we were the industrial might of the world with people of principle who didn't outsource factories to save a nickel.
I will be the first to say i would prefer the us to take a slightly more passive role in things. If we were selfish as you claim...and as i would prefer....we would draw a line in the Central Pacific and tell China: You cross this and you're done. Otherwise, have fun. Then we would pursue self-reliance and independence on energy much like Brazil has done. We could let the world eat itself and be like the Swiss....neutral and quiet.
If selfish as you claim.....
We would stop defending Europe at our own expense and tell South Korea and Japan to make it on their own. We wouldn't be borrowing money we don't have from people who hate us to turn around and defend people we also borrow from to pay the defense bill. The lunacy of that is staggering.
As for the Panama Canal.... The Panamanians didn't seem to mind the wealth that flooded into their country with that arrangement. For my money the place is just another two-bit backwards banana republic. Very glad my boss doesn't travel there any more!
So take your anti-American crap someplace else. The day is coming when there will not be a United States umbrella of protection over the world. There won't be a USA to save your sorry ass the next time it winds up in the fire...
People love to hate us, but when the chips are down, the first question people ask is, "Where are the Americans?"

WELL, if it wasn't perfect then it wasn't worth having, was it? Idiot.
It's not a question of the degree of training, I'm wondering if the FAA is aware of your unveiled threats against your passengers, and overt racist and bigoted views. When you spout off it's your decision whether the 'spoiled entertainers' live or die by your whim, it is a threat. I'm not challenging your proficiency by any means.

I haven't said anything racist and there are no threats, veiled, unveiled, or otherwise. I am entrusted with lives behind me, beside me, around me, and below me every day. That is a fact. How you can twist that into a threat as opposed to a statement of responsibility is beyond rational comprehension. Put the crack pipe down, brah. If I make a mistake at my job the results can be far more catastrophic than a turnover in a basketball game. The point was and is....people like Manu are paid millions to do their job right and when they don't, "oh well" doesn't cut it.
if I made an error and hurt or killed someone with whose life I am entrusted it wouldn't be an "oh well."
if I damaged something or made a mistake that cost my owner a fine it wouldn't be an "oh well."
if I careened wildly through the sky in a careless and reckless manner it wouldn't be an "oh well."
Grow a friggin brain. There is nothing even remotely racist, bigoted, or threatening in what I have said and....the FAA does not legislate opinions. We still have a First Amendment in this nation.
