It's an embarrassing story and one I'm sure he wishes would go away. Guido, for once I agree with you. Big difference between his situation and AFV. I hate that show and the stooge that hosts it

Re: Manti with the Girlfriend
 

yeah and they're all in fun and for our amusement. I doubt highly that Teo is concerned if we have nice laugh at the GF thing.

Re: Manti with the Girlfriend
 

Absolute best ever, love it man

Tell you what it is absolutely true, but I'd still make fun of you. It's hilarious and makes for a good laugh. If you don't find it funny go about your business.

Re: Manti with the Girlfriend
 

I love that show. Always nice to laugh at yourself and others. No point making life more difficult by running around angry all day about what other people think.
On different point though and to stress the importance of not taking life too serious:

There is a poster on here who has a relationship with religion and I have watched him multiple times come after people for their stance on religion. He does it in a passive aggressive manor. I mean this is a football board. Keep your religion at home or in the right forum.

I can tell there are some people on here who have done a lot of talking their entire lives to other people and have never been smacked. I am a firm believer in the principal of being taught a little street justice. It humbles you and keeps you from popping off to everyone and anyone. It is good for everyone to have that moment in life where they learn to be careful how they speak with others. I see it with my students even. Kid is going around bullying or popping off, chooses the wrong kid and all of a sudden they get smacked with a little perspective.

Um that's TV. This is the real world and we don't need written permission to laugh at celebrities, athletes, or any other public figures. They realize they are going to be talked about, it comes with the territory of being famous or high profile.
I laugh at embarrassing **** I've done throughout my life all the time. It's a matter of perspective. You can sit there with your feelings hurt and your lips poked out or you can find something to laugh about. It's part of living a positive person and putting a positive spin on your life's follies as opposed to just spouting off how positive you are while in the same sentence pointing out what you interpret to be negative about a person.
Just proves to me that you like to talk the talk but don't know how to walk the walk.

Re: Manti with the Girlfriend
 

LMMFAO! Me too. If I do something stupid I like for people to have a nice laugh and I join in. Plus at work or on a team people always point out the unique and somewhat awkward and embarrassing things about each other. It makes for building friendships. Like when teams make rookies get on the table and sing, etc. That is meant to embarrass people but in a good way and for fun.

Now if people were calling the dudes home or sending him letters etc, I'd be against that. A few post on a football forum...come on now.

Anecdotal:

I do this with my kids, my students, and they love it. I will mimic their behaviors (how they act in class when they get upset at me and the things they say) and (because I am special ed my class is about 10-12 students) I do everyone. Then they will get up and do me. It is great we all have a nice laugh about each other and really enjoy the moments. It is amazing how spending so much time together they learn and memorize all my little sayings.

Re: Manti with the Girlfriend
 

I'm just glad the stupid **** I did at that age wasn't aired on social media. Please let it go, he was just a dumb kid

Re: Manti with the Girlfriend
 

No one has to let it go. If you want to let it go, you let it go and let other people do what they want to do. Worry about Danno. No one is calling his house or taking up a letter writing campaign.

Re: Manti with the Girlfriend
 

I have been smacked. I was that nerdy kid that moved to the new city and got bullied for the first couple of days in ninth grade. I had to fight to gain respect, or what you call street cred these days. I was also "smacked" a couple of years later when I took both barrels of a 20 gauge shotgun in my lower left leg from three inches away in a freak hunting accident. I was pretty much traumatized by the huge scar that remains to today, not to mention hearing the doctors telling my parents while I was on the way to the operating room that there was probably a one in four chance of saving my leg. It took quite some time to forget that scar. I didn't even want to hear about it. Now, some 44 years later I accept it and everything about me with no reservations.

Then I was smacked again when I got the call from my doctor that the lab had found cancer. I hope to God that you never have to be smacked in that way. I mean that. So forgive me if I have an issue with people making fun of other's unwanted misfortunes. I would hope that as a special education teacher that you would have more sympathy and empathy than that.

Re: Manti with the Girlfriend
 

Don't discuss what I do for a living as if we know each other or you have personal knowledge of my classroom and my relationship with my students. I don't care one little bit about your life, your misfortune or anything else. True story. I don't like you. I have a personal disdain for you. You're a bully and a big mouth. Always minding other people's post. Worry about Larry, not everyone else on this board. You're an old man so I am going to leave it alone, but you're an unrelenting ***** and I am not talking about me. I am talking about you attacking many people on this board. Worry about Larry.
