Yeah.....and he probably got away with tons of stuff, but when you mess with dogs, white people go absolutely nuts.

Have fun with a very funny site! :lol:

 

:unsure: -- that's great Bill. Will have to check it out in full later. But here's the first one I clicked on...too funny!

 

#101 Being Offended

 

To be offended is usually a rather unpleasant experience, one that can expose a person to intolerance, cultural misunderstandings, and even evoke the scars of the past. This is such an unpleasant experience that many people develop a thick skin and try to only be offended in the most egregious and awful situations. In many circumstances, they can allow smaller offenses to slip by as fighting them is a waste of time and energy. But white people, blessed with both time and energy, are not these kind of people. In fact there are few things white people love more than being offended. Naturally, white people do not get offended by statements directed at white people. In fact, they don’t even have a problem making offensive statements about other white people (ask a white person about “flyover states”). As a rule, white people strongly prefer to get offended on behalf of other people.

 

It is also valuable to know that white people spend a significant portion of their time preparing for the moment when they will be offended. They read magazines, books, and watch documentaries all in hopes that one day they will encounter a person who will say something offensive. When this happens, they can leap into action with quotes, statistics, and historical examples. Once they have finished lecturing another white person about how it’s wrong to use the term “black” instead of “African-American,” they can sit back and relax in the knowledge that they have made a difference.

 

White people also get excited at the opportunity to be offended at things that are sexist and/or homophobic. Both cases offering ample opportunities for lectures, complaints, graduate classes, lengthy discussions and workshops. All of which do an excellent job of raising awareness among white people who hope to change their status from “not racist” to “super not racist.”

 

Another thing worth noting is that the threshold for being offended is a very important tool for judging and ranking white people. Missing an opportunity to be outraged is like missing a reference to Derrida-it’s social death.

 

If you ever need to make a white person feel indebted to you, wait for them to mention a book, film, or television show that features a character who is the same race as you, then say “the representation of <insert race> was offensive and if you can’t see that, well, you need to do some soul searching.” After they return from their hastily booked trip to land of your ancestors, they will be desperate to make it up to you. At this point, it is acceptable to ask them to help you paint your house.your house.

So Vick has millions right now. Declares bankruptcy, and gets to keep his money. Wow.... that must suck for him. :unsure:

 

also, how can someone owe between 10 and 50 mil? Seriously. A 40 million dollar range? Im sure someone could add up a few numbers and come up with a smaller range than that.

Don't forget that the Falcon have a large claim against him. Vick won't be keeping his money and if we could all see a summary of his expenditures since he became an NFL QB, it would be both sad and hilarious.

The majority of it is the $20MM claim in bonuses from the Falcons. If the courts say that is his money and they can't ask for it back, then he's better off, but still in a bad place (other than prison).

I agree. I wonder what the running total is for what he's p!ssed away so far in his career? Its probably just about every penny that he's made.

the article stated: "After the plea on dogfighting charges, the Falcons tried to recover about $20 million in bonuses Vick earned from 2004 to 2007. But a federal judge held that Vick is entitled to keep all but $3.75 million of the money paid to him for playing football through the 2014 season."

 

So im assuming he gets to keep most of his money. People dream of winning the lotto for millions of dollars. He gets to fall back on millions. Im not happy about it, but hes not going to have to work another day in his life if he doesnt want to.

 

Though, based on his comments, he will pretend to find god, say he's sorry, and someone will pay him a ton of money to do something.
