Actually I am. I am giving up my Porsche and Harley Davidson of my own free will. After I sell them, I am getting a sub-compact, putting some away for med school and giving the rest to a Native American charity. Ofcourse, that is far from poverty, and I am making that choice for myself.
its not hard to tell this man has problems. Anyone happen to check the HBO sports intervies thewy just did with him? how he met his father, who lived nearby but never acknoldged him as a son and TO tried to date his own half-sister and his father intervened. TO lived with his grandma and she only allowed one light and hardly ever even turned on the heat in the house. so he did have a rough childhood and up through college as well, he only ate 3 or 4 days a week. so that probably ****ed him up alittle. but then he got his playing money and he doesnt know how to act. he's new money if you understand what i mean, i can see going in the same route as MC Hammer and bankrupting himself, because he really isnt marketable as a spokesman. i would never buy anything he is involved in, and trust me i am not alone. nike jordan picked him up as one of their first endorsees, but he will NOT be renewed i live about 8 mins from the house where he was parading himself on the front lawn like a complete moron. i beleive that house is still for sale. i know he was trying to get more than what he paid for it and he overpaid on it to boot. he knocked on the original owners door and threw a nice amount of money in thheir face because he wanted to live real close to Donovan McNabb he is probably trying to do this to get out of coming to philly in 2 weeks to play the eagles :haha: we love our sports here and for someone to act like a complete child like this clown the way he did was just unaccetable and it will never happen again, trust me when i tell you that. But really he is just looking for more attention for himself, he is an Attention Whore. someone should get that picture of that girl doing a handstand on the beach and put his head on top of it. i will do it. my cousins, who are black, 30 seconds ago just said to me that he is an embarassment to their race. even worse than those clowns that sang that "Laffy Taffy" song
Agreed. I've been broke and I've skipped dinner because paying the rent took priority. I didn't enjoy it then and I don't relish the memories now. Does money buy happiness? No, I suppose not, but I can tell you for certain that I'M happier now than when I was poor. T.O. needs to get some help. I feel sorry for his family and friends. I have zero respect for someone who attempts/commits suicide, it's the most selfish act a human being can do.
Personally, I feel the best way to live is in with the "middle way" as the Dalai Llama sometimes calls it. I don't think extremes ever lead to anything good (financially, politically, religiously etc.).
When someone is at that level of depression and desperation, the person's judgement is completely compromised. And especially if thier depression is chemically induced, it is not something they have any control over anymore. If they could control it, it wouldn't be an issue.
He tried to kill himself & even fouled that up, unbelievable. Great choice Jerry. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I grew up in a trailer park, I'm a self-made man, and if I had my druthers, I'd move back into one, but the lady in the family won't go for it. Thanks guys, for continuing to STEREOTYPE anyone that lives or lived in a trailer park as a 'loser', it means a lot. I guess ALL Muslims are terrorists, too ? I know single guys making $50,000 a year and they think they are poor, and I know people making $14,000 a year and they are ecstatic about it. I read somewhere 'Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem'. When did Rodman ever try to kill himself ?
I dont know all the facts, just what has been reported so far. If he really did take too many pain killers in an attempt to harm himself, then its a cry for help. Hes a great football player with talent. No one can deny that. How anyone could wish death on anyone is beyond me. Very immature. Its true what they say; "More Money. More Problems." I hope the guy gets the help and support he needs to straighten out his life.
I didn't say 'loser', you did. I said poor, in a trailer park. Been there, done that. My family was very poor, because grandad didn't like my dad's choice of wife, and cut off all support at 18. They scrambled hard and have built a business and are now doing well, but I vividly remember living in a series of run-down trailers and shacks, not being able to go to doctors, wearing hand-me-downs and dumpster diving. There's nothing pretty about that, and I wouldn't go back. Anyway, back on point. As much as I dislike TO, I hope he recovers and gets the help he needs.
no kidding. I can't stand JJ. It still bugs him that Jimmy Johnson is given credit (and deservedly so) for all the SB victories. He should keep his ass in the owner's box, sign the checks and hire a general manager; geez what a monstrous ego.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-cowboys-tosuicideattempt&prov=ap&type=lgns In this article, his publicist appears to indicate that TO was not trying to commit suicide. She said that he "was having trouble because he'd mixed his pain pills with supplements." Still a lot of information to be revealed. I'm saddened by the responses of some, who express disappointment that the man didn't die. I pray that none of you face such reactions if you make mistakes in your own lives.
Drug overdoses are almost always a cry for help. Most of those that try to OD themselves are hoping that someone steps in and intervenes. I hope that TO gets the help that he needs before he takes it to the next level.
And that is a valid excuse because????????? I don't get worked up about comments people make on an internet forum, but I still find some remarks sad. People think that comments they hastily type on a computer don't carry real implications in other people's lives. They rationalize behavior that they would otherwise deem unacceptable because "it's the internet" and that makes it ok. Blur the line between right and wrong too much and it will eventually fade away completely.
it must bother you in some way, hence your posts. if you/other people let comments posted in a chat room get to you/them, then there's A LOT more going on than a few wayward comments.
No, it doesn't bother me. I don't care if some keyboard warrior wants to live out delusions of grandeur over the internet. I do sometimes wonder what effects the internet have on people, because it seems to me that some separate the internet world from reality. I saw an interesting study of this a couple of weeks ago and the results were pretty sad. Kids use the internet to set up "friends" and post trash about other kids online. They failed to make the connection that their actions could cause actual harm to the people they were trashing. They, like others, thought it was "just the internet" and nothing real would come from it. When the kids were shown the realities of their actions, they were completely shocked.
Just noticed that they're now trying to spin it that it wasn't a suicide attempt. Probably figured that it's better to deny rather than confirm and watch all the $$ fly out the window. Hope the guy gets some help. Maybe being hopped up on roids or whatever gives him a chemical imbalance. This has to be a rock bottom for the guy.
I'm not much of a football fan, or even really a sports fan in general. But it pisses me off that this kind of stuff is considered "Breaking News" on television. I was flipping by Fox when it said "Breaking News" so I stopped only to see this. I do feel bad for him and hope he can get the help he needs. But does everyone really need to know?
Well, the press conference with TO just aired, the media didn't get their suicide story that they so badly wanted.
in philly everytime he got frustreted he always said the same **** ("its like i cant do anything right,uhh") i mean terell there there are just some things your-punk-ass / arrogance-*****-ass NEEDS to get right here. we thought we had the H.P.S.P. : haha:
also i just learned that he had a morphine patch that he had been wearing ever since he "broke" his finger now thats enough pain meds for him to take his entire precription of percocet or oxycontin is def. something going on there. he took 19 out of his 20 prescribed pills. this fvkking guy needs serious help. all i can say is thank god he is off the eagles.
