Regardless of whether you're a Pats or Cats fan. Both teams very much deserved the honor in my opinion. The Pats are only on their third trip to the Big Game and have come quite a long way to their lofty postion today. As a former Boston-area resident, it's also great to see a Boston team in a favored postion for the first time since probably the '89 Celtics. <br />And I'm glad that the Carolina Panthers got to go to the Super Bowl for their first time. The announcers were right in that they sure were no pushovers. For an underdog, they sure played hard. Both teams managed to provide some excellent, nailbiting action. Definitely an improvement over last year's onesided blowout. <br />[/quote] <br />[:(!] And this relates to trains HOW? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Get a grip,life,brain etc..! Not everyhting on this site has to be related to Trains, so Turn that frown upside down, If you Don't like it don't answer, Got that? so just can it. <br /> <br />Next issue. CP RAIL supports the super bowl, I put that in JUST SO this would now relate to Trains. <br /> <br />Yes the super Bowl was great, a real eye opening half time show, too! [:D] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I'd have to agree with the "and this relates to trains HOW?" faction BECAUSE I seem to recall the use of this ploy on sensitive issues related to our presidents misguided intent to invade Iraq (prior to the invasion) by the "My country, right or wrong" group here, as well as a number of other instances where people brought up issues, then didn't want to hear the converse side of their preferred point of view. <br /> <br />And if yer gonna play that game, it should apply to the "rosey nosed-warm and fuzzy" topics as well as the controversial....fair is fare in other words. <br /> <br />Go to a football forum to discuss the bowl. There are many out there. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />First off... What? Sensitive issues *yawn* BORING!.. <br /> <br />Second off, Trains.com forum is not a regualr forum. Fot the record, no one wnts to join a forum just to post one little thing, thats rediculous and never go back, <br />Trains.com forum is exactly like a Small town society, everyone knows each other, and everyone enjoys each others company. Therfore if you don't like posts that are not reflective on Trains, Evedently "SUPER BOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWL" might not have anyhting to do with Trains, although I did hear the EMD is comming out with the New locomotive SUPER BOOOOOOWWWWWL edition! <br /> <br />If you don't like it, would it help if I shed a tear for your cause? <br /> <br />Also, how many people do you knoq on Football forums? <br /> <br />NONE! <br /> <br />How many people do you know on Trains.com Forums.. <br /> <br />Oh.. LOTS! <br /> <br />This is no harm done with this thread, your making a MOUNTAIN out of a MOLEHILL, unless you don't like the surgeon's job on Janet Jackson. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Dude, you don't have to shed a tear for me at all, I am a big boy, I can handle it. <br /> <br />My observation is simply geared towards the fact that I've seen this ploy used here, to effect, by some narrow minded people. In the overall, I'd be inclined to agree with you, but the topic of "lets keep it about trains" has been used, including by forum admins in times past, and my argument is, that turning this stipulation on and off, in promotion of victorian, etc, ethics, is just plain LAME. <br /> <br />It's kind of a "if I had to shut my pie hole, why should *they* get away with it? type consideration...Not any adverse feelings towards football, the championship, or the deteriorating Jackson family,..I assure you. <br /> <br />But, the next time someone comes in bleating over some "Dixie Chicks" type ~scandal~, and I point out that our legal system protects the rights of people to hold thir own opinion(s), then volunteer a supporting argument lending validity to the non-mainstream point of view, I will expect your support when the good ol boy network tells me to pack it up and take it to a political forum,...good enough?
