13kavakschoolhouse rock got the majority of americans educated about basic things such as who our past presidents have been this way. maybe america is doomed because of the intellect of the average american.

KDThunder35ParticipantJust accept it was a stupid statement and let it go. The analogy is terrible.

mikeyvthedonParticipantIt just did not need its own topic and follow-up topic explanation. You tend to take things far too literally and seem to have a very high opinion of the importance of everything you say. The problem is, this alienates you from everyone else. This is an internet, their is of course an alienation, but your Sam Bowie comment has been beaten like a dead horse over the years. You made a cogent simile, I for one got what it meant, but I did not find that it carried as much weight as you seem to think. This is usually a discussion board, where we discuss, comment and debate things. Writing an alienating simile using a Forret Gump like statement and replacing it with a persons last name is not exactly seen as inviting.
13kavak, everyone here wants to be cool with you. You might not want that to happen, and maybe feel like popularity will some how stain the purity of your intellect, but it really won’t. We do not need everything broken down simply, but we do appreciate people asking questions or saying things we can respond to, other than, "Oh, that’s nice". Metaphor’s and similes will having you doubting my competitors abilities, my mind and body is a spiritual facility, where I confess after my lyrical killing spree.
Sorry about that, but it just came out. Sam Bowie was not a villain, though he has been villainized to an extent by fans due to his being selected ahead of more than likely the best player to ever play the game. He was a need pick, as Portland already had quality starters on the wing in Clyde Drexler and Jim Paxson (brother of John Paxson, famous for his clutch play for the Bulls). Bowie also had missed two years between his sophomore and junior years and had really bad knees. He had a journeyman career, was never really more than a spot starter and it ended prematurely due to said injuries. Still, I do not think your simile really made much sense, maybe you just really liked the movie "Illusion" and were trying to relate it to basketball. Plus, Bowie and Bowie knife are easy to connect, we got that. Just, it was not that powerful of a message you were giving us, man.
You have told us a lot about yourself, and you are not at all an idiot. But, you could use your intelligence in much more productive ways. For instance, your questioning of Butler not getting better recruits was valid. They actually are indeed getting better quality recruits, and were even in the running for Cody Zeller (5 star, McDonald’s All-American, brother of Tyler/Luke). However, Butler is a smaller school, and while they have gotten more TV exposure, especially the past couple years in March/April, they are still not exactly a huge draw during peak season of conference play. But, Brad Stevens is definitely landing higher quality recruits off of the bat. They have landed a top 100 prospect in SG Kellen Dunham for 2012. See, topics like that get other people involved. You have questions and topics related to basketball and interaction, lets stick to those rather than posts about Sam Bowie similes!

DanEboyParticipantI am getting really tired of your anti-American bashing. As if only the American people on this site didn’t understand your nonsense of a topic, trying to be clever. And yes, we all work at Burger King and Wal-Mart. You are the only one who sounds like a jag bag in here.

TheFactionCoalition.comParticipant"if you dont like it dont read it, but then again that would require common sense."
Wouldn’t common sense dictate that we wouldn’t know if we "didn’t like it" until after we already read it?
As soon as you start making things personal ie you work at Wal Mart or McDonald’s you are essentially saying your argument does not have any facts or evidence to back it up. If you really want to prove a point, never get personal, it’s frivolous and it makes you look judgmental.

13kavakits called ad hominem but most people here choose to directly attack me as well, two wrongs doesnt make a right though.

TheFactionCoalition.comParticipantIt’s called the ad hominem fallacy for a reason, use a little restraint, you’ll get your point across. It certainly wasn’t the best way to start a thread. . . Of course with all those neg points, I’m going to assume there’s some history here idk about! !

butidonthavemoneyI personally admire 13kavak. The man is way more intelligent than you gator-snouts are giving him credit for.
Sure sometimes he’s off-topic, but if you think about it his topics are on-topic because they are off-topic.

Tongue-Out-Like-23ParticipantAtleast he’s consistent right? Consistently bad and off-topic, but consistent nonethenless.

butidonthavemoneyWell, he is certainly no more bad or off-topic than me. Hell, I’m one of the worst here in that regard.

over micheal jordan one of the best players of all time( the dream just sitting there) has no one here ever heard of a metaphor or similie? is it my fault no one took or apparently passed freshman composition 1? I was comparing drafting sam bowie to having all your dreams dashed in life. best case- worst case scenario.all of the expressions that you make about not understanding me is kind of what I feel like in trying to explain anything to a lot of people here, do you really need EVERYTHING spelled out to you if so hows that job at burger king or wal-mart working out? by the way the bowie knife was one of the most popular forms of knives in america for a very long time named after one of the heroes of the alamo sam bowie. which yes is also an intresting corundum sam bowie the hero of the alamo vs sam bowie the basketball villan( villan because he came at the cost of passing over micheal jordan
