Wonder how the day worked out for the guy telling people to use GB as the "Anchor Baby Play"
Weird. Seemed like such sound advice.
The AT&T girl has phenomenal breasts. Just really perfect incredible ones you can tell are being held back like 2 caged wolverines. She has some fun ass on her too. Get her now Biscuit.....with curves like that she is 1 or 2 kids away from irreversible fupa and cankles.
Unpopular opinion ...
Now that the regular season is over it would be nice if we could focus on playoff football, and not have the media and the cameras at every game constantly jam Damar down our throats.
It was a horrific story which looks like a happy ending. I am happy for the young man.
Can we get back to football now?
If they want to over-report a story, they should be talking about the 6 year old who intentionally shot his teacher in the chest. That's a story with some layers to it.
Great post

It's actually a valid opinion and the perfect example how our empathy, as a species, is rather flawed.
There is a great book on this matter, called Against Empathy by Paul Bloom, in which the author makes a clear distinction between empathy, compassion and moral decision making. The scale is sympathy (you can sympathize with someone and their situation), empathy (you are actually able to feel the others person feelings or emotions) and compassion (this means you are willing to do something, in other to alleviate someones suffering).
What happened to Damar perfectly describes one of our biggest blind spots, as a society, our empathy gets hijacked by one individual tragic case and we overreact, and in this case it was with all the donations that his charity received, something like over $7 million, until now (not saying that there is anything wrong with that, I'm sure someone will benefit from those money).
The perfect social experiment that drives the above point is the following: it has been shown that if you want to raise money for charity, individual cases will always bring the most money! Fe you show a picture of a little girl and tell a tragic story about her situation, and how a donation will help her, that is the ideal scenario if you want to achieve a monetary goal. Take that situation and add a sibling to the picture, the interest goes down, add some more kids and the interest goes down even further, tell someone there is a whole village who needs help, the interest plummets. By the same reasoning, that's why the news tends to focus on individual tragic cases, because as proven above they garner the most attention. It's like that Stalin quote: "One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic".
Sorry for the long rand, like yourself I also felt the need to express my opinion about it.
