  1. I think the substance of Kobe's comments is correct. The timing and setting he chose to air them are not. The team told them to shut up, Shaq did and Kobe didn't. Shaq is in the clear there, but he sure seems like an ass for not supporting Kobe during the offseason and for starting an unneeded controversy with the rape trial providing plenty of distraction. They both are putting themselves above the team, which sucks.


  2. All of Kobe's comments seem like things he's held back on for years. For some reason, he's fed up. As a guy who HATED Malone, I feel worst for him and Payton taking pay cuts for this shit that was supposed to be buried.


  3. Pedophiles aren't pedophiles because they're not getting laid, they're fucked in the head.

    Perhaps if they'd been able to marry and have sex like normal people in their younger years, maybe they wouldn't become "fucked in the head" and start raping little boys when they hit their 40s and 50s. Sure, these guys are sick, but I think if they were allowed to be MEN first and priests second, there would be a lot fewer problems. Devotion to your god shouldn't mean you cast all your earthly needs aside. The Catholic Church badly needs to modernize a lot of its views.

     

    Changing the policy on celibacy won't do a damn thing to curb this horror.

    Does it really hurt to find out? If ONE CHILD does not have to go through what so many others have gone through, isn't it worth it? Or is outdated dogma really that important to you?

    Again, a pedophile priest is a pedophile not because he isn't getting laid, but because he's psychologically deficient. And he's taking advantage (hard to call it an "advantage") of his position as a highly-regarded and trusted leader. Allowing priests to marry will not solve the problem, it will only provide a false sense of security. Pedophiles will be pedophiles no matter what.


  4. Pedophiles aren't pedophiles because they're not getting laid, they're fucked in the head. Pedophiles also are evenly spread among people who are male, female, straight, gay, single, or married. Changing the policy on celibacy won't do a damn thing to curb this horror. Making the screening process stricter, penalties harsher, and stopping the protection of these cowardly sumbag pieces of shit, will.

  6. ...just hope this will not be Polish CLIPPER FAN Rifle vs Johnson.

    Raz, you've been here before but for those new to TSM NBA discussion...

     

    The Season will consist of:

     

    1. Polish (taking a million shots at Kobe) vs. Johnson

    2. Someone (me) actually siding with Johnson

    3. Rip and I debating about Devean George

    4. Rip and I telling each other to open our eyes when watching

    5. The Lakers taking the title


  7. I don't see how you guys can say it has "philosophical/deep meaning", because it has one thing: nothing is real, and that isn't as original as they think it is.

    How much do you know about philosophy?

     

    Because there's a lot more than "nothing is real". Reloaded directly addresses causality vs. free will. And there are a ton of other references as well.


  8. 1. Neo isn't actually The One, but more like the Sixth.

     

    2. At this point they can't really destroy the Matrix in the final film, since 99% of the people in it prefer the Matrix.

    1. Neo's not The One in The Matrix but could he be in the Real World? I think so based on him being the only one to choose the other door and stopping the Sentinels at the end.

     

    2. They don't prefer the Matrix, their minds accept it. There's a major difference.


  9. Niobe?  Lock?  The Kid?  Architect?  French guy?  They all were 1 dimensional, tedious characters.

    And?

     

    The movie isn't called The Merovingian: Reloaded. It's the Matrix with Neo seconded by Trinity and Morpheus. Maybe you're not familiar with the concept of fiction writing but most secondary characters are supposed to be flat, static, and 1 dimensional.

     

    And I'm sorry you didn't get the Architect scene, but he nailed his heelishness. His demeanor was harsh and cold, firm and unfeeling, like a machine. His dialogue was that of a condescending, piece-of-shit know-it-all. Maybe you couldn't stay with the big words, but that scene was not only major, it was very well done.


  10. And the biggest offender

     

    "blah blah blah blah blah, soooo...."

     

    So... so what?! So are you gonna say something after "so"?!

     

    Conjunctions are for leading into another sentence, not terminating it.

     

    It's irritating

    I do that all the time and get pissed at myself for it.

     

    But there's a tendency to say, "So...there you go" which is worse.
