Biased liberal media lack true faith:

[Ninong]

Some biased, liberal sports columnist is questioning the claim by the Rev. Pat Robertson that he can leg press 2,000 lbs. I know he's biased and liberal because he works for CBS. Why anyone would believe this pagan hedonist over the leader of the GOP fundies is beyond me, yet his trashy column is being given widespread distribution over the internets. This is outrageous!

This so-called sports columnist, Clay Travis, is claiming that "there is no way on earth Robertson leg presses 2,000 pounds."

To back up his claim, he points out the fact that "the all-time Florida State University leg press record set by Dan Kendra is 1,335 lbs. Further, when he set the record, they had to modify the leg press machine to fit 1,335 pounds of weight. Plus, Kendra's capillaries in his eyes burst. Burst. Where in the world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time? And how does he still have vision?" (Note to heathen sports writers: Rev. Pat Robertson has visions all the time!)

This is a blatant attack on Christianity by the secular humanists who are trying to take over our country. These people have no faith. They refuse to believe anything unless it can be scientifically proven.

O ye of little faith! If Rev. Robertson says he can leg press 2,000 lbs., then I believe him. I don't want him sending any hurricanes or tsunamis or "even a meteor [sic]" my way. And Rev. Robertson has made his predictions for 2006 already. He said that God told him that our coasts would be lashed by many very strong storms this coming season and that it is even possible that Seattle might be hit by a tsunami sometime before the end of the year. Of course, it's always possible that a tsunami could hit Seattle but knowing in advance that one is likely to hit within the next twelve months requires a special relationship with God.

In the meantime, if you would like to be able to leg press 2,000 lbs when you're 76 years old, just check out Pat's age-defying shakes or his age-defying protein pancakes.

Hehehe lol

D'oh!

[smidoid]

2000lbs?! Hell, I doubt the lying auld bugger could lift my cast iron pancake pan - let alone bench press it!

All of this hoopla for a typo on a webpage.

[smidoid]

Not just a typo, Steven. Typo or not. Some people believe this is true!

Our Prince Chaz, for instance, who dumped a supermodel in prefence for an old banger, really believes that nanobots are going to escape from some lab and consume the earth! Even the rich can be gullible - and I suspect they are more likely to be than us ordinary folk.

P.S. -- It's NOT a typo. That claim has been on his site a long time. I made fun of it 8 months ago in this thread.

FYI...
It would take 266.6 of President Bush's record breaking 7.5 lb Perch to equal the weight Pat can handle.

Let's not belittle the high point of Mr. Bush's administration.

Background for those who don't follow the president's achievements as closely as some of us:

BERLIN - President Bush told a German newspaper his best moment in more than five years in office was catching a big perch in his own lake.

"You know, I've experienced many great moments, and it's hard to name the best," Bush told weekly Bild am Sonntag when asked about his high point since becoming president in January 2001.

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5-pound perch in my lake," he told the newspaper in an interview published Sunday. Bush said the worst moment was Sept. 11, 2001, when hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.


The only problem is that the world's record for the largest freshwater perch caught is 4 pounds 3 ounces.

I get it now. This forum is all about good natured humor. I was under the false impression that it was a forum to spout liberal propaganda and venomous attacks on all things conservative or Republican. Sorry.

By the way, an interesting corollary, one of the reasons I attribute to RC getting so large is they do not permit political or religious discussions as they inherently alienate and divide.

Apology accepted.

Reef Central chose to prohibit all discussions relating to politics, religion or even current events because they had too many members who were unable to discuss anything other than pictures of their grandchildren or their pets without coming unglued. We like to think that the members of Reefland are a bit more mature than that and therefore capable of intelligent discourse. We like to think that. Most of the time we're correct. Obviously there are exceptions.

The endless assault on all things conservative/Republican is starting to wear on me and make visiting this site as a whole less and less enjoyable. I doubt I am the only one that feels alienated by the discourse in this forum.

[Ninong]

If reading certain threads is causing you such discomfort, try not reading them. How hard is that?

[Steven Pro]

That is exactly my point. I am more than likely going to quit reading here and I am betting that others have done the same. This forum is not an open, inviting atmosphere.

Take a look at reefs.org and where it has gone from most of the same issues. It has a reputation that I would not like to see Reefland get.

[Ninong]

The difference between Reefs.org's Sump and our forum here on Reefland is that we don't tolerate the sort of behavior that gives them a bad rep.

There is nothing wrong with people expressing political views. If that bothers some folks, then that's their problem. Free speech is a wonderful thing. Why would anyone find it intolerable?

Are we to think that political opinions that are not the same as ours are somehow offensive? That's absurd on its face!

Instead of questioning the motives of the messenger, try disputing the message it you feel that strongly about it.

[smidoid]

Jeez Steven, lighten up a bit mate.

Your country was founded on free speech and free expression! To paraphrase the late great, Carl Sagan, "The cure for a bad argument is a better one."

Surely, if I said it was safe to put a small amount of copper in an invert tank, you would slap me down! It amounts to the same thing.

I guess it could be called "hoopla" if it were a typo.... but sadly its not.

If it helps any... I have a conservative streak in me that would scare some people. I just don't talk about it because I'm afraid that I'd lose all my liberal friends.

This is why it kinda sucks to be in the middle. When it comes to some things I'm disturbingly conservative, but when it comes to other things, I'm radically liberal. So, basically, everyone thinks I'm crazy.
