The Rage Cage

10 years later and it still has a hold on me, the strength to hit me with such power. he probably doesn't even think about it, he's probably moved on, i am sure he doesn't lose any sleep over it. i do, though. some nights it's just so fresh. and to all the NFL players out there abusing their wives or girlfriends? to ANY coach who would let them walk into the locker room and dress up? to any fan who would rather see them on the field, it if means a win for their team, then to ban them from the NFL for life? fuck each and everyone of you.

Didn't he stab two people to death?

Friends and family recall their rocky marriage as Brown Simpson was a target of spousal abuse by Simpson. In one of the most poignant tapes played for the jury, Brown Simpson told a 911 operator that she needed assistance quickly as O.J was "going to beat the shit out of me."

Well, depends on which court you want to believe. In the Criminal Courts of California, he was found not guilty. In the Civil Courts of California he was found guilty.

MY point was ......... and apparently you are too young to know much about the case of Nicole Brown Simpson .... the disturbing results of domestic abuse at the hands of a husband/boyfriend/significant other .... can lead to death as it did in the life of Nicole Brown Simpson. OJ physically and emotionally abused her before she was able to find the strength to divorce him.

Likening a man who hit a woman, to one who brutally stabbed two people to death in the head and neck... bit of a stretch. I'm not defending the man, I think he's a fucking dick, all I'm saying is different ballpark.

Sounds like you are defending the dick.

Quite clearly I'm not, I was questioning your correlation between a domestic abuser and a multiple murderer.

Edit: Happy to continue this discussion if you would like to, but we should probably start a Think Tank thread and keep it off the Rage Cage.

So now 10:00 AM on a Sunday morning is the optimum time to cut your grass? You couldn't have waited until say noon to do it so you wouldn't wake up half the neighborhood?

Asshole.

Guess I need to go rent that jackhammer for my 5:00 AM construction then, huh? Let me know the next time you've been out partying so I'll know when your hangover kicks in too!
