Its cool that we got the convention, but I live not all that far from the stadium complex and right along the major street to the arena. It is going to be an absolute traffic and security nightmare for everyone who lives in South Philadelphia. I'm still excited for it though, because its going to give massive exposure to the city.

Its a stupid holiday in my opinion.

We aren't douchey. So many people mistake the "we wanna live while we're young and don't wanna settle down" attitude for douchiness and immaturity.

I'll watch it as a comedy, not as something to be taken seriously.

Glad I filled up when I did. I paid $2.05 in Delaware, so that should last me 2-3 months.

Gas went up 20 cents in 3 days here in the city at the place in my neighborhood.

They just all come off as generic musculed white boys with a token minority thrown in to stave off accusations of racism. Not my type I guess. *shrugs*

I love the '80s influence in this song. Shut Up and Dance, by Walk The Moon.

LMAO.

Beards have made a comeback, especially among gay men as a sign of masculinity. I keep a permanent stubble that I trim daily, and haven't been clean shaven in more than 2 years. I don't really like it on other guys though. I prefer my guys smooth and twinky.

Southerners could get away from being made to feel guilty if they would stop using it as such a widespread symbol of the South in the modern day. Seriously, if you were a Jew, how comfortable would you be having to view the swastika, a symbol of the country that tried to wipe your kind off the face of the earth. Its the same with black people and the Confederate flag. Its a symbol of a government and people who fought to keep them enslaved and then continued to use it as a symbol to keep them as second class citizens until people with common sense stepped in and stop them. The South would still be keeping everyone who isn't a White Anglo-Protestant as second class if it weren't for federal (aka Northern) interference. Its why the South is far behind the rest of the country in civilized social policy.

Dear lord, if ever the Soapbox was needed for a spirited discussion on GA, it's this. I'm going to disagree (rather strongly) about the "original" or "true" intent of the Confederate Battle Flag, but my argument is far too political for the politically correct, sensitive types who can't seem to take criticism or a different point of view (but James you certainly do not fit that category). So for now, I will keep my jaded, Northern Yankee city-slicker views to myself.

Such a gentleman. On a similar note, I was showering after my workout last night and a guy went into the shower directly across from mine. He left the curtain about 1/4 of the way open just enough so you could see his "maleness" dangling there. He kept soaping himself "down there" and looking at me with the "you interested?" look. No thanks pops, your old enough to be my father. Needless to say, I dried off behind the privacy of the curtain and got out of there as quickly as I could. Ahhh the joys of going to the gym in The Gayborhood.

I love this thread. Its kinda like gay soap opera.

Change the blue in the cross to rainbow and you've got it. This is hilarious and it will absolutely piss off the inbred hillbillies who still cling to this as a symbol.

Andy Luck and his boys wouldn't have won that game regardless. They played like it was the first day of training camp, not the AFC Championship. When your a team as good as the Patriots with a coach as ingenious as Bellichick, everyone is bound to try and come up with excuses as to why they can't beat you.

Well thats what happens when your leaders aren't smart enough to diversify the economy beyond one sector.

Haha, I remember this song from my middle school Valentine's Day dance when I was in 6th grade. This song was playing the first time I ever danced with a girl, and her name was Jessica and she was in 7th grade (did that make me a cougar chaser?) I swore at that moment that I was going to marry her some day. And wellllll, things didn't exactly work out that way. I wonder what ever happened to her? Edit to Add: I just looked her up on Facebook, and it says she's a waiter at Applebees in the LA area trying to "become a model". I guess turning out gay has its advantages.

I have to disagree. Paterno was the most powerful man at Penn State, and was in the most position to do something to stop the rapes. He deserves the most criticism because he was the boss (essentially). If he had gone to Graham Spanier and discussed how to best handle going to the police about this, and they had gone to the police in a way that also preserved the university's reputation, then fine. But he went to Spanier, they discussed it, and decided to do nothing about it while it continued to happen. Anybody who knew about this and did nothing is guilty, whether it be players, coaches, assistants, etc., but those who were in the position to do the most about it and did nothing, well they deserve to rot in hell. As someone who works with young children for a living, I can't wrap my head around why so many on here and other places defend this man and his program after what he did. It seems to me there are a lot of people who care more about Penn State football and it's reputation then they do about innocent children being violated in a despicable way.

It was $2.25/gallon this morning at the station by my apartment. That is dirt cheap for a Northeastern city.

Never has a pedophile enabler been so defended in public by so many. He knew about the rapes. He went to his boss, who did nothing. He knew he did nothing, and decided not to go the police. Joe Paterno WAS Penn State. He was the most powerful man at the university, but instead he decided to shield his program and his own legacy at the expense of so many children. Sandusky wasn't just fondling children, he was penetrating them! For fuck's sake people, how can you in any good conscience defend this guy?!?!

He did basically nothing when he knew one of his assistants was raping multiple kids over many years. He is a disgrace and doesn't deserve the hero worship he still gets.

I get to watch my Patriots play in their 6th Super Bowl in 15 years. Not bad. Also, Bellichick became the winningest post-season head coach in NFL history with his AFC Championship victory last night. Every other fan may hate the guy, but thats only because they are jealous and wish they had a guy as smart as him as their head coach.

I'm curious why you, as a foreigner, would specifically want to go to Guam or Pittsburgh? These seem two rather random and little known places to people outside the US, and usually foreigners think of America more in terms of New York and Hollywood then anything else.
