Tim Hardaway

I hope you don't think I was criticizing you. I have no problem with what you said. If you say it though, as he did, just prepare for the repercussions.

I know you weren't criticizing me. All I was saying is that if someone wants to more power to them. Anyone who has the courage to speak up about their values had better have a thick skin nowdays tho.

Yep.

Pretty good little thread going on here. some good points being made.

Somebody will be here soon enough to ruin it. Give it time. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

yeah, im here heh

i cannot BELIEVE the ignorance on this thread. its people like you that makes this area so backwoods and redneck.

After my post I expected some friction. But I'm a big boy, and words just run off me like water off a duck's back. Ain't afraid to give it back tho either.

I can't believe anyone would call it ignorance. If I have to bow like a lil sissy to things I think are evil and corrupt in order to sound cultured, I'd rather sound like a redneck. But hey, I'm educated, College degree, good job, I just don't agree with being a coward when it comes to saying things that need to be said. And I think more folks should have the balls to express their deep down feelings. Not just be a lil sheep and say what everyone has told them is the "correct" thing to say. BTW, I have lived in Lawton, OK, El Paso, TX, and Honolulu, HI; and if you think the views expressed here make ya sound like a redneck you should hear some of the views expressed there. The majority of folks are no different. They view it as a nasty corruption as well.

You have a lot of valid points. I didn't have too much problem with him saying what he thought, and I think the Amichi or whatever his name was (the gay former-player) said as much, that at least Hardaway was honest with his opinions.

I dont know, part of me thinks it a tough line to draw. I mean they have rights, their freedoms as long as it doesn't infringe on others right. I have the right to not like something, they have the right to think I'm an idiot for thinking it. You're absolutely right that someone from the rainbow coalition could say something about straights and it would be fine, its the double standard that gets me.
