Official Attacked

Gee, what else can we argue about in here? Ford v Chevy? Coke v. Pepsi?

Democ...nevermind.

What I'm meaning is that I have both a PS3 & Wii, & have some knowledge of the gaming systems.

On my PS3 I have Dante's Inferno, GTA IV, GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, God of War Collection, & Ninja Gaiden Sigma. All have an ESRB-Rating of M.

Depending on the training the store associates have, they should automatically ask for ID when picking up M-rated games. The 2 stores I normally pick up my games from always ask for my ID when I have picked up an M-Rated game.

I have found on occasion an AO-Rated game at Walmart & GameStop.

Rockstar Games had to re-release the game without the mod and get re-rated an M before retailers would sell the game again). Some will even go so far as to restrict sales of M rated games to minors.

Xbox 360 guy here...a majority of the games I have besides sports games are rated M games. I'm actually shocked that you found a game rated AO at Walmart. That's selling the equivalent of an X-rated movie!

Okay, that's enough off-topic for me.

The player becomes bench personnel when the coach is notified not when the player is notified. Also on the video it seems like the official notified the player immediately after the foul was called which caused him to attack the official.

Tastes great. Less filling.

[Terrapins Fan]

Not that it has anything to do with this thread, but I am 55 and I am on facebook everyday.

I would argue that it does not taste great, well, doesn't smell great anyway, because I have never had a beer in my life.

Oh ya, people have been talking about Assange and WikiLeaks since 2006. You just don't know where to look. And previously, Assange was praised for things he did. Now that there are false sexual accusations against him, people listen. Sex sells remains true.

Personally, I thought Assange was a dirtbag before the sex stuff came out; and I dont' think we can call them unfounded (any more than we can clame the opposite.)

So, you both might be right.

Either way what I said stands. The majority of the people that use have an account are older. Maybe I should do an SPSS Crosstab.

I'm not saying those were "good ol' days"...but, somewhere between there and where we are now seems more reasonable.

I guess that's one of the reasons i got out of teaching, after just one year, at the age of 23.

Rocky sounds like he has a story (or two)...well, i have one i will share.

Once upon a time...there was this young 23 year old p.e. Teacher/coach coming in from track practice with his middle school kids. Some h.s. Kids were milling around the outside locker room entrance. (the high school and middle school were on the same grounds, as this was a small rural school in southern idaho.)

well, as the young teacher was getting ready to enter the building, a h.s. Kid says, "hey dude, what's up?"...and preceded to knock the baseball cap off the young teacher's head.

Young teacher saw red...grabbed the h.s. Kid by the back of his collar and not very gently at all put his head on the pavement. The h.s. Kid was then directed to "pick up my hat". After some time of feeling around on the ground for the hat...his cheek was against the pavement...he found it and handed the hat over to the young teacher. The young teacher must have still been seeing red because as soon as the young teacher had hat in hand, he gave the h.s. Kid a good shove against a nearby car.

Probably not the best way to handle it...and for sure this young teacher had not been taught that in his college education methods class...but, you know what? That h.s. Troublemaker (i guess he had a rep) was a perfect gentleman every time that young teacher saw him after that. It was mr. This and mr. That.

I know that story could have had all kinds of bad endings...but, lucky for this young teacher...nothing came of it.

Soooo, that young teacher could have been fired...well, this ol' basketball offical might get fired if he thinks he is in physical danger and reacts accordingly. I.e. Defending one's self.

Arrested?...we'll work it out in the courts.

Older? You consider over 26 older?

I need to get out my walker. Get off my lawn! It hurts when I pee!

There is a difference between older and being old. Older than the age group he originally gave for sure.
