Tanner v Parish

[grantflip]

that was intense

[mechamonkeyx]

No matter how you spin it, he was generalizing. Why? Because that is EXACTLY what it's called when you take example A and base a conclusion on example B. If you're going to defend him by saying that wasn't what he meant, then i'll need to hear it from him. But there were plenty of others ways to get his point across than by bringing up the US. And again, you think it's like talking to a wall just because your too stuborn to admit this one thing i've been trying to tell you from the start?

[mechamonkeyx]

This was actually the first part of that last comment that didnt get posted: Yes i actually read what i say, do you? Because i asked you a question in my last comment (2 actually). All you've been doing is repeating yourself. I bet you're also ignorant to think that you're "winning" this argument because you twist peoples words until they get annoyed by it. You can change the wording of "astrosNLCs" post and act as if you know what he's saying, but you don't.

[pwnth3n00b]

retarded

[nbafan103]

that was retarded...parish was great when he was still playing

anyways...no disrespect but who is Stuart tanner, whys he like playing with rbert parish for???dont u have to be like famous to do that or somethin

[Juanitotrucupey]

this isn't Stuart it's his brother Greg. He's an independent reporter so he gets access to a lot of these events. it's just a bit of fun people need to chill

[mechamonkeyx]

The bottom line is that it's best to ignore people like "irockauthentic" who like to like to troll and spew nonsense. But what "astrosNLC" did was just unneccesary.

[llibtloh]

God.. Some weak ass Wanker cant even school Robert Parish's old weed smokin ass..

[irockauthentic]

man lol the uk sucks @ basketball america kills you guys everytime

[Guateballa]

THATS NOT TRUE, THE uk GOT VERY GOOD STREETBALLER, LIKE CON-MAN, PAUL GUDDE AND OTHERS

[scrawnyasswhiteboy]

Con-man? Are you high on crack?

[astrosNLC]

While this may be true, you don't have to be an ass about it. I hate idiots like you that give the US a bad rap.

[mechamonkeyx]

there's nothing wrong with a little trash talk. it's people like you who are starting to make the US look like pussies who are afraid to do anything anymore.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@mechamonkeyx

so you think talking shit on youtube will make people have more respect for Amercicans? What youre doing will only cause more people to believe that Americans are cocky and arrogant assholes.

[mechamonkeyx]

I never said talking shit was a good thing, but if your going to make a big deal out of it and generalize the whole country that way, then no offense but you would be the one who's an asshole.

And i'm definately not going to suck up and worry about what the rest of the world thinks of me or my country like that pussy astrosNLC.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@mechamonkeyx

Wow, you just contradicted yourself. You say youre not going to worry about what the rest of the world think about you or your country, but youre getting mad at astrosNLC because you think he makes you and other americans look like pussies? If you not going to worry about it, why get mad at astros? And do you actually believe that talkin shit on youtube will somehow show the world that youre NOT a pussy? News flash; anyone and everyone can talk shit over the internet.

[mechamonkeyx]

Key words were "suck up". I don't feel like i should have to go on youtube and prove myself to people of other countries by complaining about my OWN country in a STREETBALL DISCUSSION. Do you condone that sort of mentality? Does talking shit about my people or my own country somehow gain me respect from other countries? If that's what you're implying then you're the one with the problem.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@mechamonkeyx

Youre not even stayin on topic. Let me explain whats happening so you can understand. Irocauthentic was braggin about Americans' basketball skills, Astros said Irocauthentic is probably right but he doesnt have to be an ass about it, and you say astros is makin americans look like pussies basically because he's not a cocky asshole. I'm tellin u that being a cocky asshole and talkin shit about other people over the internet doesn't make you NOT a pussy. Do you understand now?

[mechamonkeyx]

Dude, i understand everything that's happening, maybe you're just missing my point. I am in no way defending what irockauthentic said, and i never said talking shit does not make you a pussy, but to repeat what i said in my first reply to you, you shouldn't make a big deal out of things like this, and to generalize a whole country this way (what you and astros are doing) is just wrong.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@mechamonkeyx

Did you even read what we said? Me and astros are not generalizing anything. The only thing astros said was irock didnt have to be so cocky. The only thing I said was being a cocky asshole on the internet does not make you look like youre NOT a pussy.

[mechamonkeyx]

I'm not even sure if you realize what you're saying, because if you are backing astrosNLC then you must think that the US must be a bad country just because they like to go on youtube and talk shit? Does that sound right ot you?

[UnrivaledShogun]

@mechamonkeyx

Yes I am backing astrosNLC. And no, neither me nor astros think (or said) US is a bad country. In fact, me and astros NEVER said anything about the US. You did.

[mechamonkeyx]

astrosNLC: "I hate idiots like you that give the US a bad rap."

I don't know what you get from that sentence, but to me it sounds like he's criticizing the country for one guy's youtube post. If you would atleast acknowledge this one point i'm trying to make then i'll just stop and we can end this.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@mechamonkeyx

Astros saying "I hate idiots like you that give the US a bad rap" is NOT criticizing the country. It's criticizing "idiots like [him]". If astros was criticizing the country, he would have said something like this; "I hate idiots like you who show what a bad country US really is".

[mechamonkeyx]

And btw, astros was generalizing. Generalize = to base a conclusion off of vague or insufficient evidence. If it makes you feel better i will admit that irock is a cocky asshole but nothing he can do or say should change anyone's view of the US.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@mechamonkey

Astros generalized "idiots like irock", but NOT America like you claimed he and I did. Let me give you an example, if astros had said "Bad singers like William Hung makes Asians look bad", he's NOT generalizing asians, he's generalizing "bad singers like Willaim Hung". It's really basic grammar.

[mechamonkeyx]

If he wasn't generalizing American people then why did he mention the US? How does that help explain what he thinks of idiots like irock? Either he meant what he said or it was a poor choice of words. We can argue about what he said or what we think he said but either way this is a brick wall argument so i'm done.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@mechamonkeyx

lol. Do you even read what you say? Astros mentioning US does NOT mean he was generalizing the country. Anyway, go ahead and run away from because we both know you were wrong especially when you said people who dont talk shit make Americans look like pussies.

[mechamonkeyx]

Therefore i take what he says in a literal way, not to assume it means anything different. On that same note, i said that he makes Americans look like pussies (i know, you think i'm contradicting myself because i said i don't care, but i'm sure there are Amercian people that would be offended by this).

[mechamonkeyx]

No matter what you THINK i meant (that not talking shit makes you a pussy), he was criticizing the US. And i take it you can't defend him in that regard because you never answered my questions and instead accused me of something and acted as if i'm wrong for something i didn't say. So the only thing i feel like running away from is your stuborn attitude.

[UnrivaledShogun]

@mechamonkeyx

First off, what question did you ask that I did not answer? Secondly, again, astros was NOT criticizing US. Example; if I said "you make Americans look bad", I'm not criticizing Americans, I'm criticizing YOU. This is exactly the case with what astros said. The fact that you cant see that makes me wonder if I'm talking to a wall.

[mechamonkeyx]

Maybe you don't have people like that in your country, but there are people like that here. It's almost like they look for reasons to find something wrong with it. If astros isn't one of those people then i was wrong about him, but what i've said pretty much goes out to anyone who thinks like that. At the very least i find it disrespectful. It almost seems like having pride in your country doesn't exist anymore, or is atleast diminishing.

[arakkala]

Don't want to hear about it. America always hears smack from British soccer hooligans.

[SalaTaMaRaCiTy]

@arakkala WTF is soccer?

[NaYarB04]

@SalaTaMaRaCiTy its that sport were they fake injuries and pass the ball for 95min

[SalaTaMaRaCiTy]

@NaYarB04 Yo don´t know nothing, is the street sport... is the KING SPORT.
