    When intense emotion has been locked in the brain for too long, it gets out of control, hence the untimely outbursts now and then.

    If someone is hurt by the bad behavior, apology should be in order, and the matter can be put to rest.

    Just that the media would be quick to inflate the consequences ??? quite unnecessary though.

      Odd how it was more important then the ACORN scandal that none of these so called media giants caught wind of. After all, who cares about 7 billion dollars of tax payer funds going to help pimps and ho's get houses to have underage girls perform tricks? LMAO

    Right-wing cannot be happy whatever Obama does. They call him absent during the health care summer debate and now he is being accused of over exposure. This is a party of no idea and the easiest thing to say is their senseless inanities.

      Senseless? LMAO

      I guess Harry Reid stopping the investigation on ACORN and stating the reason why is because its a distraction is not important??????...............LMAO

      What do you care about?

      Senseless is a term of endearment compared to the "brainless" left.

    Pres Obama calling that racist and sack-o-cr%p west a Jackass; for the first time I had some respect for our Pres.

    The funny thing about it is that Joe Wilson probably kept his kids home from school the same day as President Obamas speech to the kids about education, fearing that his kids might be "brainwashed" by his "socialist" subliminal messages about health care reform during his "STAY IN SCHOOL" speech. Kanye is just an idiot, and Serena might be the only one that is somewhat off the hook, unless you've ever played a sport at that level you have no idea the adrenaline and emotion that can come out. Lots of pressure on her, not so much on the other 2 knuckleheads.

    Wilson is a racist, but West, Williams and Obama are not?

    Anyone notice the difference in the medias tolerence...Joe Wilson is demonized and the athlete is tolerated with

    Hey boffo024: hsate to be your buzz kill but EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ANYTHING. Judging is what stands between good and evil. In fact, if people had been more willing to be judgmental about your father's behavior you could have been spared a lot of heartbreak. But regardless, Boffy your dislike of other people making judgments is....well... judgmental. You are are judging their rights. I am sorry for your pain. Perhaps it would help you to direct your anger at your druggy Dad than some anonymous "poster".

    To Einey: You're an idiot. And to the rest of my fellow Americans: The best quote of the year is "YOU LIE!!!" Wilson's job is to be the voice of the people. Duh!! He was just doing what he gets paid to do. At least he's doing his job. When Obama said the new healthcare reform would not be even 1 cent deficit now or in the future he was lying. It's deficit out of all of working class' wallets, savings and/or checking accounts, and every child???s piggy bank. (The politicians are not the 'working class' because they are conveniently exempt). None of those guys knows and feels the hardship of having to have their medical bills go into collections and end up on your credit report because you are paying for someone else???s healthcare that can give a $hit about the Working Class Americans' interest. I mean all I'm saying is, don't knock the man for (Wilson) for shouting out the truth. He wasn't 'hating the player, he was hating the game.'

    Oh my eyes are so glazed over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    All of you all who write these long @$$ self important comments STOP! You are wasting you time. All it takes is a quick look at the length of your bla bla bla and even if it were to be a brilliant piece (doubt it) no one is going to go beyond an opening sentence. *EYE GLAZE* *YOU OPINION IS NOT INTERESTING* All of you all who start you comments with "I remember exactly where I was" DITTO! STOP! So who doesn't and a resounding WHO CARES????!!!! best comment here: "how's the new Beatles's Game?"

    You really don't realize the magnitude of the hurt that a father can do to his child being a drug dealer/addict until you have one that is. You have no right to judge him for his feelings towards his father. And the father obviously doesn't care about this being on the internet, otherwise it wouldn't be. I do sympathize with the author for my father was also a drug dealer/addict. This type of enviorment growing up can either keep you down or help you get stronger as this guy did. Good job. I hope when I get older I can also rise above this. (I'm only 17). So thank you.

    I think you should reconsider the decision you are coming to as far as not seeing your father again. I could see through this short clip the comfort level he has with you. He loves you. Granted, he doesn't understand the wrongs of his past, but much of that is the drugs. Really...think about this....I mean I wouldn't recommend he babysit for his grandchildren, but give him some love. You may be suprised at how you feel in the end.Good Luck with your future!

    i would not have put the father on the web to be publically displayed, because he was honestly replying to his son, even though he was not a father to the son. Why did the son do that? What was to be gained for the son ?

    June and July were the coolest in recorded history. NYC just set an all-time record for coolest June and July in history. Please preserve your integrity and stop with the propaganda.

    Truth about s*x offender residency restrictions is they don't work. Treatment and rehabilitation, not ostracism and banishment, is the answer. www.oncefallen.com

    Melissa Gilbert went from a half likeable little kid, to a crazed fundamentalist evangelist kook nutter. Sad turn of events.

    They have a website at phoenixmultisport.org

  • Posted By: KBug @ 06/25/2009 12:42:37 AM

    How do I find out more about Phoenix Multisport? How can I get involved? This idea is revolutionary!!!
