Well, there are some idiot lawyers. Then again, there are idiot doctors too. On the whole though, Lawyers are smarter than the average citizen by quite a bit.

akuma587, do you enjoy watching sports? I watch a little so I can muddle my way thoguh talking about it, but I agree that sports in general can be oafsih. The whole root root root for the home team is akin to blindly following one party in politics and blindly repeat every piece of misinformation you hear about the other guy, and then always voting for your party of choice even if your candidate is old washed up turd ona  stick vs. Mr. Cool.

I watch no sports whatsoever.  I enjoy it slightly when I do watch sports, but I would rather be listening to music, watching a movie, reading a book, or just about anything else.  I hate wasting time on something when I could be doing something I enjoy more.  Maybe once a year I will go to a sporting event, but the people I am friends with generally aren't that interested in sports, or at least have something else to talk about.  But in Texas, EVERYONE likes sports, unfortunately.  Hell, I know a lot of girls who like sports way more than I do.

I am not the athletic type, but I am in very good shape.  So its not like I am adverse to physical activity at all, since I exercise at least three times a week.  But sports today are the modern day form of gladiator battles.  Entertainment for the dull and uneducated masses.  Now I don't hold it against someone if they like sports and they are also intelligent, but generally speaking people who are really into sports are not that bright.

And as you mentioned, the whole mob mentality makes it even less appealing.  Its not like sports affect your day at all either, unless you have a pathetic excuse of an existence.  Will it matter next year if the Packers win the Super Bowl?  Compare that to will it matter next year if Barack Obama or John McCain wins the election.

Something like politics materially impacts your day.  It affects your freedoms, your pocket book, the people around you, your safety, and even your mental state.  I know I get extremely frustrated when I feel like my country is failing to live up to its potential, or when government officials make a mockery of the Constitution and the American people.  Politics is like sports for smart people.  Although the mob mentality thing seeps into politics as well, unfortunately.  But people should care about politics, although many people substitute "caring" about a cause for "having a rationally informed basis for caring" about a cause.

YES!! =P

Nice way to put it bud.  While our views differ in some points, I respect what you said here.  I'm not a big sports fan either; in fact I don't watch sports at all, but do lift weights and excersize 5 days a week.  What I hate is when you get ragged on for NOT watching sports, as if it makes you any less "patriotic" since you dislike an "All American Sport", feh.  You're alright Akuma :D

Dammit it's we are on saturday and still no reply whatsoever I feel like I want to cry :(

Edit:I expect this thread to have like 5 replies max and then die off since I was bored when I made it that means my theory is right not everything is completley boring like when I was expecting a boring afternoon and I went for some fruit and then I talked to my uncle and we started talking about alies and mind controlling and the universe and we were talking for about 2 hours and then we went to eat hot dogs.It was freaking epic.

Yes... at this point I do.... but mostly because I dont have one, well defined goal at the time. Usually when I do I struggle to achieve it, and then life gets much better instantly ;)

Indeed, the manliness associated with watching sports is even more moronic.  Many people who are really into sports were complete failures at sports in high school, and now they try to vicariously thrive on it through some team, as if someone even gives a shit about how shitty you were at sports in high school and how you are trying to make up for it now.

And I'll just flat out say it, people who are really into sports are generally much bigger douche bags and generally treat women worse.  Most major sports have a "I'm tough shit" kind of attitude based on the sport itself and the pomp surrounding it.  Not surprisingly, the fans love this and a lot of it bleeds off onto them.  This is what I call the "eternal frat-boy mentality."

And acting like sports is patriotic is equally moronic.  Look at the one President who was a football player, Gerald Ford.  Not exactly on the top of most people's lists of best President ever.  And most of the Founding Fathers?  Probably would have gotten their asses kicked by a junior high school football team.  NASCAR fans are the worst.  If NASCAR fans are automatically patriotic, then apparently deep-frying chicken and having hot sex with your inbred cousin is patriotic.

Anyone who thinks watching sports somehow makes you more manly or more patriotic is a pathetic excuse for a human being.  That's like saying drinking a lot of beer everyday makes you smarter.

Almost every girl always have lots of guys interested or at least just hitting on her, don't let that get you down.

And remember, you gotta be different from these suckers, that girl is used to and probably don't care about those guys that surround her like bees on honey. You gotta make her like you. I don't know if i made this clear but if you don't get the point say it.

And why not look for someone else even if this one is still pendant? If you get two girls interested in you, then my friend, your life will not be boring anymore.

And why do you want to know about guys having younger girlfriends? I don't really know.

I don't know really, My Life does have it's ups and downs and I have to go through unexpected situations... I guess It's boring at times and not at other times.
