My Dad and I at a MMA fight. One of our last outings before I lost him to a heart attack in '09.

Been married 20 years myself since last November to my beautiful wife and best friend, but... ... I have never met I guy that started dating a girl with the first thought of, "I'm gonna marry that girl!". We usually begin a relationship looking for more of a physical nature. Spot a girl across a room and think, "Mmmm, mmm, Nice ring finger!"

Certainly would never walk into someone's church and disagree with them... that's just blasphemy. Just asking why we believe the CBI will not do as they say? Not a naysayer and don't mean to come off negative, but beginning to lose hope after years and years of "we're close" talk. I will say the reason I stay on your site is you are the one realist I have followed in this investment.

The only part I don't understand is this idea (that has rather been accepted as certainty on this site) that the CBI is going to say one thing and do another. Anybody asked, "What if they do as they say?". As far as this dinar thing being a secret and not wanting to tip off others, I think it is a little late, it's all over the internet. Anybody believing they are in on the biggest secret in the world is fooling themselves.

The way people are reacting to all of this seems a little odd to me. A stable Iraq is good news...this is not. It gives me visions of them skipping through mine fields sniffing daisies with their eyes closed.

First, I don't agree with what Maher said at all! It merely began as a debate of freedom of speech/ religion. I stated he does not believe in Christ and is a shock jock. That is what he is paid to do. Second, If Tebow was Budddhist and he said that Buddha was really putting it to Tebow...no shock value, no uproar, no media blitz, no money for Maher. Third, we give his words weight when we go on incessantly (as we did here) versus just tuning him out and disconnecting from what supports him. No fan base...no Bill. I did feel the need to go on defense when Dogmatic made it personal about my wife for just stating the other side of the argument. But to answer her, Yes, it would be his opinion and freedom of speech and I would think no better of him than I do Maher. Thing would be that I could express my freedoms too and it would not upset millions of people or make the news, so I still do not see the equivalent. Poor argument. Fourth, I do not have anything against the christian religion, was once one myself, but had issues forgiving someone (as Christ forgave me so that I may enter the kingdom of Heaven)...my own issue. I am a proud American and love my freedoms, but I understand in order for me to have them other will to and what they choose to do with them I cannot control. I can only control how I react to them...so that is how Bill Maher chooses to make his living...I pity him.

How can you tell someone what freedom of speech should be used for??? Honestly, I don't care either way, but I do like a good debate. I hope not to offend.

Are you saying that you don't believe yours is the only right religion?

Nick Nolte or Gary Bussey!

Would it had offended you if he used Buddha? Doubt it, that was what the Hindu reference was about. No, I don't believe I am wrong about most christians in America when dealing with OUR freedom of religion. I mean, isn't it the ONE religion and all others are false and non-believers are doomed to hellfire and brimstone and we as believers should spread our beliefs in missions on foreign lands?....And you have no issue with other religions? And btw, that's my wife on the left, I'd take him to get his eyes checked. And how in the world was that equivalent?! Bill Maher is a SHOCK JOCK, he makes news and people tune in to see what he will say next, he makes money, it gives him satisfaction. I never read the tweet, but somehow I know about it...think about it. I have never tweeted in my life, I have never watched Bill Maher, but I was informed by the media about it to stir up something. We give his words weight by repeating them....look past your own nose and realize that our freedoms mean somebody at sometime will get offended. I think that Tebow was the target of his vile, not Jesus, because of all the media this overrated TE in a wildcat formation has recieved just because of his religious devotions, not his talent. I cannot ban Bill Maher or HBO because I watch neither...can you? That is how you respond. Taken out of context, was talking about him being an overrated media darling just because his religion. But...I agree .

We don't even know if there is a ball, this could all just be other people getting rich off of dreamers like us by playing to our desires again.

Sounds like you read it....

I'd like to see a black player with all the good qualities of Tebow score a TD, turn to the East, and open his hands in prayer. People would go NUTS!! It's the hyprocrisy I can't stand!
