| What should the legal drinking age be? Posted by benhamin5555 on 5/2 at 12:13 am I'm curious as to everyone's opinion on the drinking age. I think having it at 21 is stupid and makes no sense. I'd be in favor of a system like the Netherlands: 16 for beer,wine,etc and 18 for hard liquor....Posted on:  Political TalkJump to Post • View Topic |
| Those pictures with a fat girl next to an anorexic/ super skinny girl Posted by benhamin5555 on 1/29 at 7:34 pm You know what I'm talking about? The ones that say that the skinny girl is not beautiful but the fat one is.
Do they not annoy you more than anything? Basically what they're saying is, it's bad to be too skinny, so you should be too fat instead.
Why can't we all just accept that size 2-6 women...Posted on: O-T LoungeJump to Post • View Topic |

I agree. With all these defensive players getting fined for BS reason why shouldnt Brady be held to the same standard?

| Is this the best weekend of the year for football fans? Posted by benhamin5555 on 1/18 at 2:29 pm I've always thought that conference championship weekend is the best. You usually have 2 highly competitive games without the dumb halftime show and media BS of the super bowl.

| Was baseball more exciting during the "steroid" era? Posted by benhamin5555 on 1/10 at 3:03 pm I think you could make the case that baseball was more fun to watch in the 90s and early 2000s with guys like Bonds, McGuire, Clemens dominating.
Just seems like there is less interest in baseball now than there was then.
Dare I say that perhaps MLB should have just left the juicers alone? ...Posted on: More Sports BoardJump to Post • View Topic |

| Ranking the "watchability" of each sport's regular season Posted by benhamin5555 on 12/24 at 5:39 pm From worst to best:
NBA- The fact that a coach actually could afford to rest his 3 best players for a big road game should speak for itself. More than half the teams in the league make the playoffs, there are way too many games, and it seems as if teams just decide not to play defense sometimes.

| What NFL team will move to Los Angeles? Posted by benhamin5555 on 12/7 at 9:59 pm The deadline for a team to apply is Feb 13, 2013. Right now the only likely candidates seem to be the Chargers, Raiders, and Rams.
