Amazing Story on Army Basketball Captain

[Galway Eagle]

  You turned the discussion about a powerful story into a rant that exists in your head. chill out and think before you type.
Better yet , keep your delusions to yourself

back off.  After the personal messages that I've received from Chicos I'm always going to assume his holier than thou attitude trying to politicize everything and that he's trying to make certain people who aren't living up to his perfect standard feel like sh!t. Maybe you shouldn't step in without knowing everything.

We've had some fun two way PM's where we have acknowledged each other's positions on things, even if we disagree.  When you assume something.....well....you know the saying.

The story also doesn't exist if his crackhead mom doesn't hook-up with some random dude likely in exchange for drugs or money... clearly a great and powerful choice she made.

Oh, and her choice to continue her first pregnancy ultimately resulted in her getting burned alive in her own home.  Was that a good choice?
 

As stated, she has made some poor choices and there are no guarantees in life.  People can make great choices and be hurt, poor choices and be lucky.  In the end, seems the odds eventually catch up, but who knows.  Seems after a life of many poor choices, she made one for whatever reason that turned out positive for a number of people.  Good for her.  It seems to me many of her other choices and the impacts of them involved other adults who also made choices.  In this particular example, she made a choice for someone that couldn't. It was all on her.  I'm glad she did.

So after you call Chicos out in this thread, you get all pissy when someone does it to you?

I usually don't get so feisty but I was test driving a new bottle of port and kept it out of the garage longer than intended. That said I usually enjoy the discourse here but it seems some think they can win their stripes by attacking CBB. Disagreements can be enlightening and entertaining but ad hominem attacks are distasteful here and in politics.

We've all had days like that.
