Ohio State Champ Comes to Aid of Fellow Runner Yet Some Belittle Act
However, as I read through several great pieces on what happened, and watched the video of Meghan’s uncompromising act of kindness (imbedded above), I couldn’t help but notice reference to some individuals’ negative, belittling comments. A little miffed, I hunted some of them down, and to be frankly honest, upon reading them, I was pissed!!!
Things like, and I quote:
"Hey! Way to make a stupid childish gesture showing you have no conception of what 'competition' means."
“…while she probably had good intentions, the girl who had fallen was less than 20 meters from the finish. No need to act like this is the bravest (or even most selfless) act ever committed!!”
“It was dam race(not life and dead)…... let the girl finish or crawl on her own(or not finish), that would of been the thing to do and see (a video I could respect)….instead many are making this out to be like a soldier carrying the wounded back to safety…....which this video implies!”
"Gimme a damn break… Both girls knew they were going to get major credit for doing this.”
“She should have stood over her and began berating her to motivate her to get up and run. You can't foster weakness. It must be eradicated in order for humanity to regain what its lost.”
“Sure she is special and should be in the retarded olympics.”
Where the heck do I start?
I'll go ahead and save mors the time.
:smh: :fp:
God I fuckin' hate people.
are you talking about the 2 girls or the commentors ?Quote:

Mors, where's your gold name and Donator tag under your name? :(

If you go look at Facebook, posting non-anonymously doesn't necessarily stop the bullshit, it just gives a name to the bullshit.Quote:

so? what makes it special? one girl who already won a race didnt have the stamina for the next race and the other wasnt conditioned and ready for hers.Quote:

I'm not going to condone negative comments about it either, I wont laugh at the girls for doing what they did...but its still not a big deal.
So, I take it your Special Olympics comment was sarcasm, then? 'Cause that wasn't clear.Quote:

Does anyone on here have Direct TV? I am moving in about a week and am looking at getting it because if you sign up for the Choice Extra Package you get Sunday Ticket for free. The question I have is that it says it is $34.99 after the rebate, so how much is the rebate? I am just looking at finding out about how much my monthly bill might be. We have Brighthouse right now and they suck, so if I can get TV and Internet for less than the around $110 I would pay for them I would be fine.
According to the "DirectStarTV" website: "Reg Price 68.99".
You also have to sign up with a 2-year contract. And, according to the same site, the Choice package is $34.99 after rebate (63.99 reg), while the Choice Xtra is $39.99 (68.99 reg). (Ah, apparently DirecTV itself has reduced those by $5 across the board, versus what DirectStarTV is re-selling)
Quote:
Featured package names and prices: ENTERTAINMENT $54.99/mo.; CHOICE $63.99/mo.; CHOICE XTRA $68.99/mo.; CHOICE ULTIMATE $74.99/mo.; PREMIER $119.99/mo. Prices include the following bill credits for 12 months after rebate: $25 for ENTERTAINMENT; $29 for CHOICE and CHOICE XTRA; $30 for CHOICE ULTIMATE and PREMIER; plus an additional $5 with online rebate and consent to email alerts. In months 13-24, bill credit will be $10/mo. Upon DIRECTV System activation, customer will receive rebate redemption instructions (included in customer's first DIRECTV bill, a separate mailing, or, in the state of New York, from retailer) and must comply with the terms of the instructions. In order to receive $30 monthly credits for ENTERTAINMENT, $34 monthly credits for CHOICE and CHOICE XTRA, or $35 monthly credits for CHOICE ULTIMATE and PREMIER, in the first 12 months, customer must submit rebate online (valid email address required) and consent to email alerts prior to rebate redemption.
Ryby, if you don't already have a refferer, let me know and I can give you my account number so we both might get a discount ($10 a month for 10 months).
Thanks, yeah a guy from work said he would refer me.
it wasnt sarcasm, it was a comparisonQuote:

I've heard it's amazing (retarded fast) but I've, unfortunately, never had the pleasure of experiencing it first hand.
Be sure to let us know how awesome it is if you do get it. :up:
If you had a 360, you could also access tv shows and such through their app.Quote:

I am debating if I just want to get Verizon TV and internet or just the internet. I want Direct TV for Sunday NFL Ticket but I noticed Verizon offers NFL Network also. I could just pay for the NFL Ticket through my PS3 and end up with cheaper payments I believe. Have to do more research.
Also, what speed internet does everyone have?
Fios offers 15/5
25/25
50/25
I am wondering if the 15/5 will be good enough or should I splurge and go with the 25/25. Decisions decisions, lol
Really, the only reason to go higher than the 15/5 is if you want better upload speeds (if you plan on doing anything that actually requires such things), otherwise, once you hit 15 megs/sec, it's all throughput to the actual servers that would bog you down (aka peak hours of Youtube where shit goes slow no matter how fast your internet is).Quote:

All that said, me personally, if the 50/25 wasn't ridiculous expensive, I'd go with it because more is ALWAYS better. ;)
Yeah, but the 25/25 is only $20 dollars more a month! :D There will be quite a few devices all online at the same time though. Laptops, tablets, phones, gaming consoles. I need to call tomorrow so I need to hurry up and decide, lol.
My big question is really the TV. Jumping between Fios TV and Direct TV. I really want Sunday ticket. Damn, the pressure.

And actually, it is 35/35 for an extra $5 a month so I may do that. My wife may kill me though. She wants to go cheaper and I am going the complete opposite. LOL
Yes and yes, unless, of course, you have a comparable speed option at a lower price. I'm not really paying much of a premium price for my FiOS internet, so it's certainly worth it. Even on my craptastic two computers, the download speed is amazing. The PS3 is still slow, but I don't think that's the fault of my Internet, and I think I'm still faster than most others.Quote:

I can't find it on this month's bill, but I'm pretty sure I pay for my DVR and ancient-looking cable de-scrambler (lol, can't remember what it's called, but it's not an STB and effectively all it does is descramble the channels) every month. So be wary of that when you sign up for equipment for all five of those TVs. The multi-room DVR and STBs is probably your best option unless you're planning to record (and keep) a ton of HD.Quote:
