why the heck to people think it's a good idea to go up to an apartment/condo building and hit every single buzzer, and wake everyone up at 3am?! i don't care how drunk you are.. it is NOT ok... i don't care if you "forgot your glasses at a party and can't remember which unit you were in" it's still not ok!
What the heck is wrong with people? I'm so sorry that happened to you. That's assault; and while I could think of a couple people that might need a tune up (a quick clip across the ear for my neighbor and her stunning wind chime collection or my other neighbor who baby sits dogs--and even then I would never...). I can't believe that random acts of violence occur. I can imagine you'd feel violated and angry at everyone.Quote:

Now a whole generation ,

that you can bounce a basketball to a successful
career and untold riches and that school and
learning are a waste of time.
Our heroes should really be people with brains not brawn.
P.S. : as I thought, these hired guns have no loyalty
to anyone but themselves as what happened to the
Blue Jays after their M.L.B. championship.
The moral of the story, enjoy the show regardless
of who is playing and don't get emotionally involved
because they certainly don't!!!
That's my 2 cents, do I feel better?
No, this just confirms my observation that most
people today are just looking out for themselves.
From the couche tard game app I lost my bogo chocolate oreo dairy cadbury familly size bar because they did not have any in store ..so deceived.

I am happy. (anti-rant)

after their career why not go back to school? or teach, start a clothing line, MC ball games, get a reality show,
Valid points. But remember a lot of these guys have huge entourages, limited education (don't finish college) and come from poor backrounds (not always) and have many many people around them with their hands out.Quote:

And wear condoms when required. lol *message*
Most U.S. athletes have "college educations".
They go to prestige schools on all expense paid 'scholarships',
taking the place of real potential students
and come out knowing next to nothing.
College athletics is the major contributor to the college administration.
Scams on top of scams.
it's often the sports teams with huge backers and donations that help fund the sports programs/scholarships and other things around the school.. it's kinda a catch 22Quote:

hypocrite neibour who keep juging us for no good reason suddently say hi to us.......no thanks
Those colleges make tons of money off of those atheletes and the players can't even accept a free meal. Modern day slavery. And they graduate not know a thing. Pimp and prostitute 101. Not everyone goes pro.Quote:

I told me kids nice and loud sorry but sometimes adults act like children. The bad parent got message.
Unsolicited, useless information
So I emptied a cooler one day after it was used at an event because melted ice and drinks remained in the cooler. Emptied and dried off everything. Later on Sunday, sibling complains to our parent about who emptied the cooler?
Thanks bro-I was not looking forward to seeing mold settle in because you were too *busy* on a cross-border bike ride. You could have dealt with the cooler on Saturday.
