^perhaps there is an Arab leadership minority that genuinely wants peace with their Israeli neighbor - but that's what it is, unfortunately a minority.

The measure of someones greatness is not how much they 'won', but how much they were able to accomplish - with what they had. So as far as I am concerned there is nothing exceptional about Phil Jackson. [b]He merely did what he ought to have done considering for every single season he coached, he has had the greatest 3 players to play in this era. [/b]Finito.

Iro oh! The Zen Master overrated ke? What did M.J, Shaq and K.Bryant win before he came 2 their teams abeg answer that 1[/quote]Forry boy stoppit oh  are you going to say that if Jackson was not their coach Jordan, Kobe and Shaq would not have been as great? Really?

chic2pimp:
Fallacy!!!. . . Over what?

Although I must admit that with the quality of players he has had at his disposal, anything less than 5 rings would have been seen as a failure. Still does not make him overrated.

He is overrated jor. In the sense that he is made out to be this incredible master when all he has had are only like the greatest players to play the game in this era. He is a great coach, no doubt. But to me, he is not this great master ppl claim. Replace him with someone like Greg Popovich, do you think he could not have also won 10rings coaching Jordan n co?

Abeg put Phil Jackson on the Detroit Pistons or the Golden State Warriors or the Toronto Rapitoros and let us see how great he really is. You all will be singing a different song. Until then, I cannot give someone credit for passing an exam he already had all the answers to. Ahn ahn, how can you praise me for winning a race when I have had the biggest advantage every single time? Zen master ko . . . abegi jor make pesin hia word

Phil Jackson is not the greatest coach ever in nba history, as far as I'm concerned, he's the luckiest.

MyJoe:
So you would have Israel withdraw to the '67 borders on the condition that[b] the Arabs say "no more war" and demonstrate their readiness to accept Israel?[/b]

Yup. When pigs fly & TayoD becomes a Liberal

Ayatollah Ikomi, how body now? longest time.

Nice to see some people who follow the NBA on here.

I'm a Knicks fan (yeah yeah, get all your laughs in), but as long as the Heat don't win this season, I'll be very happy. Can't stand the arrogant bastards.

lol . . . aww, we Celtics fans missed your presense in here a few weeks ago

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=344420.msg8393242#msg8393242 date=1306354029]Only two teams in the last 2 decades have gone on to win titles with Point guards as their lynchpins and that's if u think Tony Parker is a PG Lol as important as that position is there's a reason why some of the best of all time in that position are yet to and never win a ring
Playoffs are all about adjustments tho and what may work during the regular season may be your undoing at dis time of the year and its clear that the Heat have upped the ante
Rose may be the best Bulls player but he would do well to defer to a more efficient scorer in seasons to come[/quote]100% agreed. Allen Iverson readily comes to mind. Poor guy . . . does anyone know how he doing over in Turkey? lol

^Phil Jackson is overrated jor. Which other coach in the NBA will not have 10 rings having legendary players like Micheal Jordan, Shaq and Kobe? I think Mike Brown is a strange choice for LA. I thought they'd go for someone 'older' or more proven that Kobe will respect and trust . . . unless of course LA is also thinking long term after Kobe departs.

Abeg you people should be happy for Dallas jor. They deserve it after so many years of heartache. Congrats A-40 and Dayo! Western Conference Champs 2011.

Nadal lived to fight die another day.

medjai:
Djokovic would be no.1 if he makes the semis. I think he would win this one. He's just unstoppable. . . 40 games unbeaten.
A Djokovic - Nadal final.

Joker is on one heck of a roll. The thing about players/teams that look unstoppable is someone eventually stops them in surprising fashion. There are plenty of wild cards that can give him a run for his money . . .

Darthmaul:
Nadal in d finals, maybe but I don't think he would make it all d way. I think self confidence is @ all time low.
@Jesoul. Sharapova can't just sharap her mouth wen playing, those moans give me the hard-on.
Ivanovic crashes out, y do d lovely ladies hardly become super successful on the women's tour. I think Ivanovic is d sexiest top tennis player @ d moment.(Personal opinion)

LOL. Just mute the dam thing now? Moans - and some of them are straight up weird and uncomfortable to listen to - I think are a blight on the sport of tennis lol. The Association should start fining players for excessive or sexual sounding moans. Tennis is supposed to be PG.

The women's side honestly just doesn't do it for me. They don't make the stuff of legends anymore, just one hit wonders that flame out in a hurry. No mo drama to spice the game. I miss Justin Henin fighting with Serena both on and off the court

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=344420.msg8389699#msg8389699 date=1306322184]Derrick Rose 23 pts from 27 shots

Dirk Nowitzki 40 pts From 20 shots

A point guard shouldn't take that many shots! Its too much[/quote]Nuff said.

I can typically understand when a player has a tough night shooting, but the number of turnovers Rose had was inexcusable. TBforry, Rose has been taking those shots all season long which is why no one complained plus the Bulls don't really have a consistent second option to he's had to jack 'em up like there was no tomorrow.

Bulls future is bright sha . . . just add one or two veterans to balance the ship and infuse some swagger and poise.

So . . . is Dallas putting the final nail in OKC's coffin tonight?

Darthmaul, it was probably the spambot that banned you, it does that randomly when it 'suspects' spam. It can be very annoying.

chiogo:
I think Dallas has proven beyond reasonable doubt that they're going all the way, it was obvious after they beat the celts in the reg season and swept LA. Congrats to them. I don't think the bulls are winning the series either which hurts me. I just hope dallas can decimate the cryami heat in the finals.

 

^As long as nobody was forced to give these mog their hard earned money, they did so willingly . . . just like no one is forced to go to the casino and throw their money away.

  Yes it is ethically despicable, but it is not illegal. We should rather chastise the sheep and encourage them to give to the poor instead.

iice:
[color=#9900ff]Lol! I was gonna ask the same thing[/color]

The guy has not yet answered us . . .

Deji2big, please respond now, I'm trying to make my travel plans.

Martian:
Funny, people who have things to contribute actually say something, all you do is write your little comments about the psot being a rant. What part exactly do you have a problem with, that your holy book is just as valid as the next man's?  I'm sure you disagree with everything I wrote but if you don't have anything to say, go indoctrinate your children and tell them yahweh is always watching them and if they are bad, they will burn in hell forever.  He also needs money, he always needs money.
\You probably have a problem with my tone but that doesn't make what I'm saying less true. You can refute it anytime you want and tell us if you wouldn't be wearing a burqa right now if you were in Kirkuk, Iraq.

The problem with posts/threads like yours is that you are guilty of the same crime you're accusing religious people of. You ride in declaring no mentally stable person can possibly believe in stories like that of Adam and Eve, implying religious people are stoopid to believe what they believe . . . I wonder what kind of responses you were expecting.

  Most reasonable people (religious or otherwise) will readily agree that religious fundamentalism & fanaticism that supressess reason and critical thinking is a big big problem. There is no question about that. But when you open your post with a very handsome small child merely participating in prayer probably beside his father and then proceed to argue that 'religious indoctrination is child abuse' . . . one can only wonder. I quoted Dare2think because he said it all in that post. Great good and great evil have both been done in the name of religion, the logical conclusion is that religion is like a gun - it depends on who is brandishing it and to what purpose in time & history & culture. Religious indoctrination (and that is not even necessarily a bad thing) is not necessarily the problem.

  A more calculated approach would've been for you to open a thread where you lay out your beef (and you have a very strong case by the way from history of religious supression) and invite religious people to explain their persuations on how they can still hold on to their beliefs in the face of so much doubt and arugment to the contrary. This will go much farther in lubricating the debate, where we can all learn from each other & winning people to your side than calling them mentally unstable from the get-go.

   ^hows that for a comment? and btw, Burqas are not that bad-looking.

Mazaje, come and answer me on your thread jor . . . and leave my small husband in that picture alone.

mazaje:
If children were to be presented with the bible,koran and other religious text on their 21st birthdays and told to accept the stories and assertions of the books, majority of the kids will laugh and will NEVER accept what they read. . . . .Religion is culture and culture is a way of life. . . .People have to be indoctrinated at an early age and made to accept that their own version of mythology is right while other versions are wrong. . .Children just accept because they have no reason to believe that their parents are lying to them. . . . .

. . . like I mentioned to you earlier - teenage atheists my friend, teenage atheists

^you my friend are full of wisdom. @All, compare this well presented case vs. the rantings that opened the thread.

dare2think:
I get you Martian and I see your points, But I have to say, Personally I have an innate feeling about the presense of a strong force within me. Whether it is due to the induced indoctrination you say, or the fear, I dont know. BuT I believe in God

You poor thing! you were 'abused' a child.

However I still acknowlegde the havoc religion has done to humanity and how It has been used as a source for manipulation.
I feel the true essence of religion has been corrupted and Individuals use the text to satisfy their "fears" and greed. Througout documented history, some people who claim their faith is the epitome of love and salvation often do the opposite and contradict themselves. This forum is a case study.

I feel there are some valuable teachings we can get from religion i.e loving thy neighbor and helping the poor. I do net feel as you are , Martian, that I am better than you because I believe in God or because you dont share my beliefs you are condemned to hell. That is not my position.

Fact is, crime is commited accross the spectrum of humanity, religiuous or non-religious. And morality is dependant on the individual and influenced by circumstances and environment. One of the Irony of some folks on this forum that I noticed is that they seem to pen prosperity on religion. Which is clearly not the case as prosperity is a natural phenomena that crosses the boundaries of religion. There are several rich Atheist as there are several rich individual of other faiths. That is my view.

One more thing, do not view theist folks as Ignorant. Evryone is entitled to their beliefs and faiths just as you are entitled to your beliefs but debates must not be avoided as we must continue to question each other so we can learn and also look within.
.
we can still chat more if you want.

Dallas just showed us what Chicago & OKC are both lacking . . . veteran poise. All the talent in the world cannot substitute for calm and calculated execution during crunch time. Congrats Dallas fans, don't screw it up lol.

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=344420.msg8382053#msg8382053 date=1306228367]I think the problem with D.Rose is what me and Bawo used to argue about back in the day. Rose is an average bordering on poor at shooting and since the Bulls lack a consistent 2nd scorer that Rose can defer to! They most def have to win game 4 or they can kiss the Finals goodbye[/quote]Exactly. I don't think he's shot the ball better than 45% during the playoffs. Its just that his explosiveness down the lane has helped them immensely win games. The Bulls can win, but Noah, Boozer and Deng will have to play like aliens on steriods for that to happen.

livin:
very funny. shldnt he wash his hands b4 shaking his opponents?

Hehe . . . imagine how many of them are going "ewww" inside their minds . . . maybe that's why some of them hug instead

@topic, is anyone putting any money on Sharapova making some noise in this tournament?

dominique:
lol @ topic .
seriously, where are the fans i'm still wonndering why any official thread has not been stickied.

Nadal for the trophy!!! though i sey fear this novak djokovich guy o! if he wins this tournament, he'll mos def snatch the no.1 spot from my guy.

I rebuke you! Looks like his match is headed for 5 sets . . .

harmeenut:
It seems Nadal is going home sooner than I thought. When was the last time he dropped a set not to talk of 2 sets at Roland Garros. Isner is taking him to the cleaners. He needs to wake up from his slumber and do the Nadal's stuff

Drawing Isner was truly tough luck for Nadal . . . but goes to show my jazzman is earning his money . I wouldn't mind seeing capri boy exiting early.

I just wanted to say . . . that little boy is soooo cute! just adorable. How can the OP be mad at anything after seeing such a handsome young fella?

chines4:
My Yuroba friends will say you don chop vegetable. Get back to your senses, do you want to use your hands to destroy your family, what about your wife, what about those wonderful kids that the good God blessed u with. how do you think that this u'r new wife babe will treat them. Ask kids from broken home what they go through in the hand of step mum. Don't allow u'r kids to pass through hell, just because you can't control u'rself. Think with your head and not your d1ck

Leave him. Shebi he's in love? Few months from now he'll open another topic and be asking us how he can win his wife back. Useless nonsense.

omega25red:
[size=14pt]well the poster is already cheating on his wife he might as well leave and do his wife a big favor. [/size]

Honestly, you took the words right outta my mouth. OP please leave your wife, let her move on to bigger and better things. And let your children not have a sorry example like you to follow. You will be doing her a big favor rather than remaining married to a liar and cheater like you. Hiss.

Again2:
Hahahaha. . .no no no, pls help, i need my og ID back, i don't want again3

Lol. Okay sir . The email thing is not the most efficient jare as so many ppl get banned by the bot. I've pm'd Mukina, she'll take very good care of you .

Re: Travel By Ship To New Zealand
  I have just one question . . . Will the accomodations be

a) In a cabin? 1st class or economy?

b) Stowaway in the Cargo Hold beneath the ship?

c) In a 6x6ft cardboard box with holes punched inside a Container with no windows or doors or oxygen?

d) Inside the tires propellers?

e) Holding onto the anchor as the ship sails?

Please reply quickly as I'm going over my travel options. Thanks.

The tournament started few days ago and not a single thread in the sports section? where's that FOD of a guy?

French Open 2011 ~ May 17th - June 5th ~ www.rolandgarros.com

Men's Draw - http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/scores/draws/ms/msdraw.pdf
Women's Draw - http://www.rolandgarros.com/en_FR/scores/draws/ws/wsdraw.pdf

So who are your picks to win it all? If my jazzman does his job well, capri-wedgie-remover aka Nadal will not get #6. Plenty of young guns firing away . . . the women's side is dry small though. Hope we get suprised . . .

And oh, if you wait for a few hrs it automatically unbans your ID. Check it, it may be back.

Again2:
I think i quoted a banned ID, since then they sys has refused to unban me

Lol. The spambot at work, that thing can be so annoying. I'll send a req to the admin. Unless you're happy being called 'Again and Again2 and Again 3 and . . . 

^lol. Mehn, POSTERIZED!!!

chiogo:
. . . And the series is tied for both East and West. Loving the playoffs, no heart attacks. . . just chilling, enjoying the games.

Abi oh! That na true talk right there. Honestly, this is a much better way to enjoy the nba

chic2pimp:
Happy belated birthday CHIOGO and JESOUL. . . . Oya back to serious matters, so it seems those Cranky Old legs of theirs has finally given up. About time I say. Useless Bunch!!! . Chei it's times like this I wish Bawo was still with us

Oh sweerat thank you ehn  Hope everything is well with you?
  Old legs gave up oh. Its a young athletic man's league now with the likes of Memphis, OKC and Chicago running the show. Teams like Bos, LA and SA will have to adjust big time if they want to stay relevant in the coming yrs. And Bawo is missed on the daily . . . imagine how we for not hia word as Rose won MVP and chicago is in the conf finals? lol.

^JW, why were you banned?
