  1. Not when you’re responding negatively to posters saying check in with loved ones. Shit like Kneeland (too far gone) happens, and people offer this advice. Not because their kids or friends may be like Kneeland. Because it’s logical advice.
  2. The “hug your kids” advice isn’t limited to kids imminently committing suicide. Far from it. That is kind of the point.
  3. I get all of that. My son is a handsome, intelligent, and popular athlete. Has a very high anxiety level and was diagnosed with GAD. We have provided help, and he is currently thriving. But I will always keep an extra eye on him and openly talk about situations like Kneelands suicide. It may ultimately do zero good. However I feel part of why people commit suicide is they don’t know how to get help, and I wanted to start him out as soon as we knew there was a problem. I understand what you are saying. If a person is hellbent on committing suicide or is so unstable that an event can trigger an emotional act like a suicide, there is little to nothing family can do. I suspect a not insignificant portion of those people never received true help or help early enough. I could be way off about that. But I also don’t think “hug your kids” is bad advice, as it could lead parents down a road of discovery that is ultimately life saving.
  4. You seem like you want an argument. If I’m doing my job (my kids are teenagers), I am constantly assessing and any real trouble should be detected, identified and addressed long before harmful action is taken. I understand situations where it’s unavoidable. I don’t take that possibility and just stop trying.
  5. Probably not but sure would be nice to check in on my kids, talk about this and ascertain their emotional and mental well being. It’s totally reasonable advice.
  6. Weird comment. He had all offseason to commit suicide. I love wild ass assumptions. I understand how dismissive “permanent solution to temporary problem” can sound. Callous as it may sound, it’s absolutely true. It’s just really sad that he apparently wasn’t getting the help he needed to begin to see that. I wish we could all take a break from being angry at each other and presumptuous, and just sit and reflect about how tragic this is.
  7. Suggesting Google isn’t the bad guy is naive. We don’t know. All I know is I can’t watch games on YTTV, and it’s far superior to streaming on ESPN. Yes, Greeny’s text and any suggestion they make to visit a web site is annoying as shit, but Disney has Google by the balls - not the other way around. I’ll cancel YTTV at the end of my billing cycle in a few weeks if this shit isn’t resolved. I’m not interested in ascribing blame. I’m interested in watching the Horns and other sports on ESPN. The why is irrelevant.
  8. I don’t know shit about fuck, certainly when it comes to FSU. It’s a really stupid argument. It’s definitely one time the Committee made a smart decision that was totally logical.
  9. Yeah but besides that? Did they throw water bottles on the field? I don’t think so.
  10. That really isn’t much of an argument anymore. Talking heads like Klatt and Herbstreit don’t even flinch or pause when they answered absolutely not, FSU should not have gotten in over the teams that did. I don’t even remember FSU fans being up in arms about it.
  11. His argument over a 2-loss SMU team is a lot more compelling than over a 3-loss Texas team that scheduled tOSU. I disagree with you.
  12. Comments like this are why Drew wishes the Cowboys traded Dak.
  13. Dumb. Florida has a top 10 roster. Rutgers does not. A more apt comparison is to ask those chicken fuckers how they fared against Michigan last year.
  14. Every day babe. Every day.
  15. I have several questions. On to page 2 to see if you have been frisked…..
  16. You’re my problem, Masshole. Google “I’m retarded and don’t understand the CFP. Explain it to me.” Or don’t and continue to ask questions my wife asks. At least I’m getting a kick out of your ignorant posts.
  17. We move up one spot regardless of that outcome. 1-loss Mormons are behind us.
  18. Not to your stupid Boston ass.
  19. You’re on enough drugs to kill a horse. Nothing about it made any sense whatsoever.
