how come Willie Mae's has a prison gate on its front door?

7th Ward. Still no tourist hotbed. 

 

 

Report: Vikings Will Handle Adrian Peterson's Status On Monday

I read an article this morning on the cbssports web site on this Peterson matter.

 

Some of the comments are astonishing.  Fair number of people condoning what Peterson did by saying they support spanking.

 

Yabbut when you spank a kid, do you hit him like 70 times?  Consideration of the sheer number of "hits" seems to be a concept that is over their heads.

 

Unreal.

Teaching behavior takes time. Effort. Patience. Reasoning. Rules. Discussion. 

 

Beatings take a few minutes and think results will be the same. 

 

Re occurring comments that gets me is "I'm a better person today because..." and "we're going to end up with a world of entitled adults if we don't discipline them early". 

 

Lots of dum in the comment sections this week. 

Spanking someone on the bottom a few times versus hitting a kid repeatedly in the arms and legs and face and groin with a stick to a point where you are leaving bruises and contusions is totally different. 

How or why people can't understand that is just another reason we can't agree on anything in this country.  It's become a world of extremes - good or bad - and there is no middle ground.

Because when believe in the middle ground both sides of the extremists claim you're un-American

God Bless 'Murica then

I was listening to an "expert" on domestic abuse yesterday and she basically said any type of verbal or physical "abuse" is morally wrong.   Ugh.  I wonder how we've all survived in life up to this point.  Duckies and bunnies and unicorns for everyone.

PS- I am not condoning what AP did.  He probably should be locked up just like Greg Hardy if he truly did what is being reported.  I just get annoyed with the uber parenting tips from these so called "experts" just like I get POd when people think what AP did is OK.  There are sensible boundaries IMO.

One of life's hardest rules. Never tell another parent how to parent their children. Ever. Unless you're asked for advice. You can disagree. But never throw you're thoughts around like you know best.

Tailgating Vikings Fan Wears Adrian Peterson Jersey And Wields Switch

Looks like Brett Favre standing next her.

The Vikings Suck.

The Zubaz are a nice touch

She's representing Anoka pretty well if you ask me

Where's her noose and chains? After all AP made slavery references as well

She can pull this off because she's smoking hot. To Viking fans.

It's a little early for the AP jersey and stick gag, but it will make a funny, albeit offensive, halloween costume.

A mom has just been arrested for locking her child in a closet for days. I just wish we would quit telling people how to discipline their children.

If someone walked up to her and kicked the living stupid out of her would she consider it a teaching moment?  

Would that someone be Ray McDonald? 

I was thinking another gal, but that would almost be ironic.

 

 

edit: Ewwww, never mind, that's not something anyone should want to see in a clothes-tearing gal fight.

Did she include all those wives nagging their husbands? 

Pakrz, that's brilliant!

Allow me to beat IC to the punch... 

 

"Pretty sure those words have never been spoken." 

 

 

 

Pizza..  and pizza trumps all that deep fried **** all day long. Basically any ethnic food besides Mexican or Cuban.  Italian, Chinese, Thai, German and so on.  

agree with Pizza....but....ya gotta love the invention of the burrito, too.

 

I would rank both of those as tied for 1st.

 

The sad thing is the difference between Rice being perceived to be declining rapidly while Peterson is still considered a star will have more influence on punishment than what they actually did. Peterson will probably be deactivated for three games (CBA max) with a public, canned apology, a Vikings PR blitz, his lawyer will make sure he gets no jail time and the rubes will claim Peterson was a victim who has been vindicated.

Meanwhile Johnny Jolly was crucified and his career was basically cut short by Goodell for getting high in a parking lot. Same for Josh Gordon except I'm sure Gordon will rebound better than Jolly. Not letting those guys off the hook, but a year long ban for a non-performance enhancing drug is excessive compared to what's been happening for violent offenders like Ray Rice (the initial punishment), AP, Ray McDonald, etc. 

This was written before the Peterson news came out. Breaking the Pattern

 

 

@ESPNNFL

Vikings announce RB Adrian Peterson will fully practice this week and is expected to play Sunday.

Sick

What? That bozo thinks it's Halloween already? 

(Sorry bdplant, didn't see your post.)

An owner guilty of racketeering taking $500 million of public money asked to make a moral decision regarding a child abuser (allegedly)  Of course he's playing. 

 

I would have a shred of respect for Wilf to come out and say, "If we won yesterday, I'd probably have him sat again. But we didn't, and I've got money to take a stadium to justify build" 

 

 

Andrew Brandt:

On 11/25/13 the Vikings' AJ Jefferson was arrested on domestic assault charges. He was released an hour later. Due process?

 

The Vikings are a **** organization. Always have been. Always will be. 

 

I find the argument from Chuck that it is black / southern culture disturbing.    I can't stand when we justify poor behavior with culture.  Revolutionary idea here, maybe that aspect of your culture is flawed?

And the sad thing is, where do you think the notion of whipping as punishment for disobedience came from.

Agree, but it's not okay to talk about in this context.
