in the same situation how would you feel if ronnie coleman or someone else who you are a big fan of (in whatever sport) would die? if a NASCAR fan was talking like you were talking about dale then you would be offended right??? he was a man and his life was taken from him. you must not have been around anyone close to you who has died because if you have then you would have atleast some empathy for him and his family. i could see if he was a bad guy and everyone hated him but he wasnt. he was AND STILL IS a great sports icon. JUST LIKE ARNOLD, OR DORIAN, OR SERGIO, OR RONNIE, OR LEE, OR FLEX. i can go on and on.

like i said i have no problem with you and this is not meant to flame you. it is however, meant to make you put yourself in a NASCAR fans sitution if one of your great idols dies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its not about NASCAR, its about a great sports icon who has perished doing what he loved to do.

sorry i forgot how to put in a quote!!!

that was one of my points!!!!!!!!!!!

On 18 February 2001, while racing for fame and fortune, Dale Earnhardt
died in the last lap of the Daytona 500. It was surely a tragedy for his
family, friends and fans. He was 49 years old with grown children, one,
which was in the race. I am new to the NASCAR culture so much of what I
know has come from the newspaper and TV. He was a winner and earned
everything he had. He had a beautiful home and a private jet.

He drove the most sophisticated cars allowed and every part was
inspected and replaced as soon as there was any evidence of wear.

This is normally fully funded by the car and team sponsors. Today,
there is no TV station that does not constantly remind us of his tragic
end and the radio already has a song of tribute to this winning driver.

Nothing should be taken away from this man, he was a professional and
the best in his profession. He was in a very dangerous business but the
rewards were great.

Two weeks ago seven U.S. Army soldiers died in a training accident
when two UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters collided during night maneuvers in
Hawaii. The soldiers were all in their twenties, pilots, crewchiefs and
infantrymen.

Most of them lived in sub-standard housing. If you add their actual
duty hours (in the field, deployed) they probably earn something close
to minimum wage. The aircraft they were in were between 15 and 20 years
old.

Many times parts were not available to keep them in good shape due to
funding. They were involved in the extremely dangerous business of
flying in the Kuhuku mountains at night. It only gets worse when the
weather moves in as it did that night. Most times no one is there with a
yellow or red flag to slow things down when it gets critical. Their
children where mostly toddlers who will lose all memory of who "Daddy"
was as they grow up. They died training to defend our freedom.

I take nothing away from Dale Earnhardt but ask you to perform this
simple test. Ask any of your friends if they know who was the NASCAR
driver killed on 18 February 2001. Then ask them if they can name one of
the seven soldiers who died in Hawaii two weeks ago.

Thanks for pointing out that I didn't write the article. I only posted it.

just to clear it up what is your opinion???

As long as a thread is not inherently disrespectful, racist, etc., then it's fair game! And this was on the Chat Board, not here, like this chatty-ass thread is!

Never2Bright, I'd delete this thread when you get a chance to save face with those that haven't already read it!!

------------------

we are getting away from the issue at hand and that is the death of someone!!!!!!!

badkins---dont add you nonsense if you dont want to address that. no matter where the post come from. the president or the pope.

Falcon, GIG 'EM! Ya' damn T-sip, BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

To everyone BUT Never2Observant, if posts like mine are the reason this board is going down hill, I will be more than happy to stop posting...Anabolic Fitness is "cleaner" and has more knowledgeable people anyhow...BUT, I STILL THINK THIS BOARD HAS SOME MERIT! The amount of knowledge contained in the archives, and especially in it's members and moderators, is unmatched...however, I think that it is 1)newbies that don't do their research, and 2)"chatty" posts complaining about newbies that don't do their research, and 3)posts that belong on the chat board in general, like this one that are slowly making more of the smarter guys hang out here less...

This will be my last post on this thread, unless Never2Grammaticallycorrect decides to throw some more scary threats my way...(That's me trying to sound all "big and bad.")...

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA...

I would address the issue at hand if there was one...since your original post has no merit considering you recanted your original statement, I politely told you that deleting it would be the best thing to do...and so on, and so on...

Game over...I'm gettin' off work so I'll be offline for a few hours...

Adios chiquito...

I just saw an article where a guy freaked out and I thought it would be interesting to see what people on the chat board thought of his opinion.

I always make sure to tell people I did not write anything that I cut and paste.

YOU POSTED IT, SO YOU SAID IT!!!!!

If I copied and posted some anti-black crap from some racist website nobody would care if I wrote it or not. They would be pissed that I posted it and blame me. Take some responsibility and admit that by sharing it with us, you said it. 2Thick posted that on this board, not daily dirt.

2thick---my point was to get reactions of people and what they had to say. he could have been a nascar driver or a cricket player. i just wanted to get reactions of others!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what????
if i post a joke about jumping off a bridge it doesnt mean i do it.

if i post a pic of a fat chick in a shower, it doesnt mean shes my wife.

if i post a workout i found interesting, a diet that is crazy, IT DOESNT MEAN I DO IT!!!

is this a hard concept?

lay off 2thick. all you who are so eager with the slider bar ----> (over there) who dont read the whole post, dont rate to criticize. get all the facts first por favor.

peace

Let it die...(no pun intended!).

your point may have validity in one case, but not this situation, 2thick is not like that.

You= Too dumb and poor to understand.

Nor did I realize making fun of all NASCAR fans was humorous.
For the members of this board who are also NASCAR fans, that post was very insulting.

uhh, the last part was copied and pasted from daily dirt. Don't flame me.
