Quite The Juxtaposition

keep Dreaming, Newsie

You're the one quoting the Bible out of context.

1. Super Bowl. Been many times. It is essentially the NFL Convention.

Saw Packers win with Favre in New Orleans. Best part of that was meeting Willie Davis in the bar at our Hotel. Saw Eli and the Giants Beat Brady in Indy. Saw Russel Wilson clobber Peyton in The Meadowlands. Saw Seattle give the game away to Brady in Phoenix. Saw Peyton win his second against Panthers in Santa Clara. Super Bowl party had some great bands that year.

2. Earvin Johnson versus Larry Bird NCAA Championship in 79 

3. Multiple Indy 500s. When I went they had Gomer Pyle singing Back Home Again in Indiana. It is  an event worth doing once as Bucket list item.

4. Kentucky Derby- My wife had customers there I went as spouse.  We still have all the Hats she used to wear in storage.
5. Tour De France- Will probably figure out a European Trip to incorporate this sometime low on priority list.
6. Wimbledon- Saw Sampras win at peak of his domination
7. Florida Georgia Game- Not in the same league as any of the above.
8. World Series-68 Tigers was great. 
9. US Open Golf - Been many times, always a great event for Golf fans.
10. Masters- Practice Rounds are best . Been in the old days before all the corporate influence, saw Freddy Couples win. 
12. PGA Championship- Been many times. Watching Davis Love win when the Rainbow came out at Winged Foot was awesome.
13. British Open- Best of all Golf Majors. Paired playing a round at Prestwick.
14. US Open Tennis Many times - Prefer watching the Woman battle it out. Recommend for Tennis fans to go in Early rounds, can walk around and see many players close up on the non featured courts.
15. Olympics- Boxing , Swimming, Tennis, Ping Pong . Not really a great experience.
16. Rose Bowl- Enjoyed multiple times definitely worth doing

You have the absolute coolest life ever.

Who's the retired sports writer?

[Lennys Tap]

There once was a Marquette fan
Who secretly enjoyed the touch of a man
But to himself he would posit
"I must stay in the closet"
So he wrote a homophobic rant

Just an fyi - limericks follow rhyming patterns. The last word in line 5 is supposed to rhyme with the last word in lines 1 and 2. Rant doesn't qualify here. Unfunny and improper is a poor combination.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

maybe reference Jeremiah 1:5. But yeah, chick w/diick seems to be a norm, unfortunately

The most common interpretation of Jeremiah 1:5 is support for predestination. So if true that would mean that trans people are part of God's plan.

Did you think it was about you?
Huh.

[Lennys Tap]

Did you think it was about you?
Huh.

Of course not. Only that it was clumsy and didn't follow rules for limericks. How come?

[Pakuni]

"Rules for limericks..."
You're on a basketball message board citing rules for limericks like it's a parliamentary point of order.
Go yell at a cloud. .

A retired sports writer once claimed,
"Insulting trans athletes is lame,
But what's even worse
To put into verse
Is mocking the sick and the lame."

Superb. You won Scoop today.

Why would you saddle him with that "prize?"

I prefer to right turn back to hoops...but I'll ask this...Is trans part of God's plan or a product of this imperfect world? Respectfully curious of your reply.

You seem to have a good handle on the Scripture. Why don't you tell us?

Also, why have you dodged my question? Who is a "chick w/diick" harming?

Even if trans is not part of God's plan, do you think discrimination against them is?

[THRILLHO]

Remember this great dunk?

[Viper]

Even if trans is not part of God's plan, do you think discrimination against them is?

no, I don't think discrimination is acceptable, in any form against any individual or group. If I implied that, my error. Disagreement with is not discrimination. Agree?

not dodging, just disinterested at this point in explaining. Let's go back to hoops.

You kept discussing the topic for multiple posts, but dodged answering this question.

And then dodged it again.

Because it harms nobody.

This feels like an eventual thread ender, and I'm not religious, but if you believe in God, it is inconsistent not to believe that trans is not part of their plan.

First, you would have to believe that your god created those individuals. In doing so, they imbued those individuals with the belief that their gender identity did not match their assigned sex at birth. Further, if you believe this god created the world and mankind, then they included in that creation the mental acuity in humanity to allow trans surgeries & the scientific laws that have allowed not just trans identification but surgery to match that identity.

Unless you believe your god is so impotent that his creation has been corrupted and they either no longer care or don't have the power to influence his creation.

Ultimately, either trans people are a part of your god's plan and should be embraced and empowered as children of said god, or that god is so weak that I'm not sure why anyone would bother worshipping them.

I suppose there are other possibilities; the devil also exists and is simply more powerful than your god, or your god once had influence but abandoned a failed creation, but I'm not sure how any of those would make someone feel better about their religion.

Brother dgies9156:
If it alleviates your pain, I will let you know the game I attended was Game 4 . Lou Brock opened up the game with a 440 Foot Homer to Dead Center at Tiger Stadium off Denny McClain and The Red Birds won 10-1
