Terrell Owens attempted suicide

[MosesGuthrie]

It went from "he attempted suicide" to "did he attempt suicide"

Yeah, I don't think he tried, I think this is yet another media knee jerk reaction that got blown WAY out of proportion.

I am starting to agree...that is why TO is fair game.

Hilarious how you can call someone an asshole and not even know them.

If we make enough fun of Owens, will you get bent and quit again?

[IX_Equilibrium]

If he truly tried to commit suicide....then calling him names would be tasteless.

If I despised someone while they were living, I wouldn't despise them any less just because they voluntarily decided to take their own life. That would be hypocritical of me.

[MosesGuthrie]

Its a fine line between the mirror and asshole. :p

Yeah, I am sure Osama Bin Laden is a swell guy if you'd just have the chance to meet him.

[MosesGuthrie]

If I despised someone while they were living, I wouldn't despise them any less just because they voluntarily decided to take their own life. That would be hypocritical of me.

so then if TO had committed suicide...you would have been happy?

If he isn't an asshole in life, he sure as is if he kills himself or tries to.

No

Where have you been for the past five years? He is an asshole.

Let me ask you this, (and I'm assuming you are a Cowboys fan but could be wrong) but what did you think of him when he stood on the star while playing for the 49ers? An asshole?

[MosesGuthrie]

Fair enough, IX.

[johnsmith]

so then if TO had committed suicide...you would have been happy?

If TO had committed suicide, plus I had won the lottery.......I would have been happy. But if he just would have committed suicide, probably not. I wouldn't be sad though either, most likely I would have stayed in about the same mood I'm in now.

Some of the poeple in here have wacked perspective.

Well, he's an asshole up and until the point he tries to cease his own life. Then he's the reincarnation of Pope John Paul II.

I am a Cowboys fan and I thought he was an asshole then and my opinion really hasn't changed. All I want from him is to produce on the field. Now if it were true that he had tried to committ suicide, as a human being I would want him to get help with that over playing football, if not for himself than for his child.

Why? Because some here don't feel sorry or upset when a millionaire sports player tries to end his ol' so tragic life? Did he down some Krystal while (allegedly) taking those pills?

What makes your persective not "whacked"?

[MosesGuthrie]

Just because people have millions of dollars doesn't make them immune to problems in their life.

[Buddy Holly]

Now if it were true that he had tried to committ suicide, as a human being I would want him to get help with that over playing football, if not for himself than for his child.

True true. However, he's still a big selfish a-hole if he did try to.

I know that, hense the Krystal joke. That's not what I'm saying. I'm talking about the "asshole" comments and people taking offense.

No one to my knowledge is upset or pissed off he didn't die or is saying he should have.

I can agree with that. Except I don't want him to produce on the field.


In the end though, like I said before, I think it's a misunderstanding so therefore I can continue to call him names like..........asshole.

[johnsmith]

True true. However, he's still a big selfish a-hole if he did try to.

I agree.

[MosesGuthrie]

True true. However, he's still a big selfish a-hole if he did try to.

By taking his life, I would deem that selfish because he wasn't thinking of his child but of himself. But tragic nonetheless.

[Buddy Holly]

What makes your persective not "whacked"?

It's his.

[MosesGuthrie]

I can agree with that. Except I don't want him to produce on the field.

True but you can understand me as a Cowboy fan him wanting to.
