LMAO @ "burning the earth from existence" and "ruin their life"

Nothing like logical fallacies (Reducio Ad Absurdem) to brighten one's day.

Haveagoodone!

That was with intent... I appreciate you noticing. I hope you have a good day as well. :thumb:

It would have been a big deal and devastating if they had burned down the house or severely burned their sibling. Everyone is saying Rice ****ed up and made a horrible decision, but he was lucky or this would have been a "much bigger deal"...

So your kid would be held accountable for their actions and they wouldn't be told that it wasn't a big deal, right? You would be super calm and collected with your, say, 14 year old kid, that started a fire and could have killed your other, 5 year old, kid in one of the most horrific ways possible.

One week and some chores with a pat on the back letting him know it was not a big deal.

I'm not saying to throw Rice under the jail. I'm saying that the thought that "this isn't a big deal" is stupid.

The fact that you are squabbling about what is considered a big deal or not a big deal is hilarious. Many people don't think it is a big deal and there are many people that do. It is what it is... I apologize for my post and thinking that this isn't a big deal bothers you so much. Seriously, it wasn't the intent.

I would probably have been a lot more measured than I'd be had he started said fire and actually killed the 5 year old...

Again - for most people, life is a series of expensive lessons learned cheaply. For some unlucky few, their first mistake is life-altering. But to act as though 90% of the world doesn't have exactly this kind of stupid decision that could've been worse but wasn't on their resume is just silly.

Basing your viewpoint on what could've happened rather than what did ignores how many times each and every one of us have worked the margins of what could have been...

It isn't YOU driving my posting right now. I've been annoyed at people minimizing what took place since it happened because the dude is a Chief.

Had it happened to a player on any other team, especially a rival, almost no one would be bending over backwards to minimize what happened.

Come on man, embrace the double standard! Love your team!

Racing two super cars on a crowded highway then bailing after a 6 vehicle collision without checking on anyone AND leaving almost a half ounce of weed in the car isn't "working the margins". At least not IMO.

Going 85 in a 70 is "working the margins". Using the shoulder to pass up stopped traffic on a motorway while on a motorcycle is "working the margins".

Gotta do it right.

I always thought he was drawn and quartered. :hmmm: Is it too late to include into Crashee's....er dang it, Rashee's punishment?

Is Rashee Rice still a suspect? Or have we confirmed his involvement?

I understand your perspective. Can I give you a concussion? I'll use a steering wheel.

No?

It's only mild.

Turns out he wasn't even there at all. He was leading Bible study at a school for blind and deaf kids.

Why's a Lamborghini going 90 on the freeway any worse than a Civic?

'Supercar' don't mean shit apart from Rice has more money than you do.

Oh, and now we're going to go with "Almost half an ounce of weed" in some attempt to create a scare quote? FFS, someone left an oversized joint in the cushions. Yes, that's FIRMLY 'in the margins'.

The difference between your example -- using a shoulder to pass in a motorcycle -- and 'a 6 car pileup' is a matter of execution and not sound decision-making. If anything, the motorcycle is far more dangerous to the rider than the incident with Rice. It emphasizes my point precisely. People attempt that pass on the shoulder with some regularity and a great deal many of them fail to execute it. Some die for their efforts.

The decisionmaking process there isn't any better. Only the outcome. And you want to have it both ways - harping on what might have been in Rice's case and ignoring it in the instance of the motorcycle on the shoulder.

Look, bud, you are right in that people fake injuries all the time to get money. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. But let's allow the investigation and facts all come out before we make any assumptions, shall we?

One of our CP real life medical professionals has already weighed in on this kind of thing. It is entirely possible that she got symptoms as time went on.

I thought this whole fiasco might be a case of mistaken identity. Thanks for confirming!
