Ah, yes.  So *this* is why I am having more sex (heh) than I can handle, huh? Yeah, it may be a draw for the short-term, but to build something lasting it will take much more than that. It may be likened to good looks in a babe.  Unless there is something more, the guy will wake up one morning and sadly think to himself "YIKES!  … could I chew off my own arm so I can sneak outta here without her discovering that I am gone?" Know what? I’m kinda discovering that it is Kathy’s ability to *tolerate* my humor that is a big part of what has allowed our relationship to last for so long. So I clearly understand the "double-edged sword". — Do not underestimate your abilities.  That is your boss’s job. It is your job to find ways around your boss’s roadblocks.

I agree.  However, it can go both ways…a good looking man in a bar, a smoke-filled, alcohol-induced haze….and BAM!  Get outta here before he thinks you’re gonna cook him breakfast.  Not that *I’VE* ever been in that situation.  Well, okay, not since my early twenties, anyways > Know what? > I’m kinda discovering that it is Kathy’s ability to *tolerate* my > humor that is a big part of what has allowed our relationship to > last for so long.

I often wonder about my DH’s sense of humor.  I’ve decided it’s just one of his quirks, and I think his quirks are appealing > So I clearly understand the "double-edged sword". > — > Do not underestimate your abilities.  That is your boss’s job. > It is your job to find ways around your boss’s roadblocks.

You are so right, Ali was an incredible boxer. Fast, smooth foot movement, great combo’s, and a lotta finesse – a far cry from Tyson’s lumbering brutish style.

: You’re pathetic.  Mike does what he does better than most others, but he : doesn’t deserve to be called a monkey or an animal.  You (collective) : created him by creating a demand for good boxers.  He merely met the demand. IMHO he’s not that great a boxer. He’s big and he has a couple of strong techniques that he throws well, but he doesn’t have particularly great combos or movement. He does seem fearless and he doen’t mind getting hit, but his talent is mediocre.

I don’t particularly enjoy boxing. However, I used to, to some degree.  I enjoyed Mohamed Ali.  More as a person than anything, but he *was* an amazing boxer.  He was darned good at what he did — both involving boxing, as a showman and as a person. I also saw the changes in George Foreman over the years.  He is something of a shinning example to those who would suggest that one cannot get past anger and move into becoming someone who is actually respected as a person. There just *might* even be hope for Tyson. Glen (Maybe he can get into chicken ranching) Appleby — Do not underestimate your abilities.  That is your boss’s job.

I don’t see what this topic has to do with misc.consumers. I suggest you simply turn off the TV when Tyson is on and move on with your lives.

But than again, how can anyone who earns a living beating up people and playing to the prurient interests of society possibly be a role model for anyone? Tyson is Tyson. He is a product of the attention boxing fans pay to him. Turn off the TV if you don’t like Tyson, or even better, turn off the TV whenever any boxing match is shown.

Response:

He has no responsibility to be a role model.  The boxing commissions of the world have a responsibility to see that he never sees the inside of a ring again.  They failed, I guess.

Response:

> That means he’s a bigger, tougher monkey… > He would play by the rules if he could…but he’s too animalistic.

You’re pathetic.  Mike does what he does better than most others, but he doesn’t deserve to be called a monkey or an animal.  You (collective) created him by creating a demand for good boxers.  He merely met the demand. Now that you realize that he won’t let you pat him on the head and go fetch your slippers, you’re miffed.  As much as I would not do what Mike does outside the ring, he has truly revealed how frightened this society is of a powerful Black man who does not submit to "the man".  He doesn’t care if he goes to prison.  He doesn’t care if Nevada won’t let him box there anymore. There will always be a demand for his talents, if he does not let them deteriorate as he did in the past. For this, officious and politically frightened judges will continue to give him longer than normal sentences for highly questionable offenses.  They are trying to put him in his place, and he won’t go. No, I don’t think he would play by the rules.  The rules stink.

Response:

I know if I have anything to say about it, my kids will never know who Mike Tyson is.   He may have no responsibility for being a role model for kids but he does have a responsibility for being a decent law abiding human being.  He’s failed so far. I caught part of a press confrence the other night on the news where he said something about "spelling (his) name right".  I looked at my husband and said, "I can spell p-r-i-c-k".   Kendra "If you think the Universe is big, you should see the source code!" <><

> Dear Mike Tyson, > My husband and I do not hate you. We dislike you because you should

You "should" learn to accept people at they actually are. Tyson is Tyson. He’s not a wind-up Tyson toy. Other people are not in the world to meet your expectations. By the same token, you are not here to fulfill the expectations of others. They are they and you are you. If by some chance, you connect with someone and they fulfill something in you, that’s wonderful. Otherwise, it can’t be helped. > you should be a nice role model for our children

Ya, he should do windows too… >and all fans who watch > boxing. But you are not.

Ya, funny the way that works… all he is, is a boxer. That means he’s a bigger, tougher monkey than someone else, and can beat you up. That’s ALL it means to rise in the world of boxing. That SOME other boxers were also loveable, clever or honorable is beside the point. All he really needs to do is pound on other harder than they can pound on him. > Whites don’t hate you because you are > from a ghetto, we dislike you because you don’t play by the rules

You HATE him for that?  You should pity him. He would play by the rules if he could…but he’s too animalistic.

Dear Mike Tyson, My husband and I do not hate you. We dislike you because you should be a nice role model for our children and all fans who watch boxing. But you are not. Whites don’t hate you because you are from a ghetto, we dislike you because you don’t play by the rules (biting someone’s ear) and commit crimes (rape) (assult/battery) and you show no remorse for your actions. You are indeed and animal and a piece of crap. Try some Lithium. We wouldn’t pay two dollars to watch you fight. It wouldn’t be worth it. Rith & Bill Finnegan Mike Tyson Rages about Drugs, Violence and Race ‘I Bring Pain,’ He Boasts in Pre-Fight Performance Sept. 15, 2000 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Mike Tyson hopes to be remembered for a long time, and not necessarily for being a heavyweight champion. "I want to make sure your kids and your grandkids remember me," Tyson said. "I want your great grandkids to remember me and say, `Wow, wasn’t that a bizarre individual?’" He enhanced that image Thursday when, after showing up more than 2 1/2 hours late for a news conference, he laced several tirades with profanity and, at one point, stripped off his shirt and jumped on a table to show he was in fighting trim. Highly agitated Appearing highly agitated, Tyson said he’s on anti-depressant medication for a reason. "I’m on the Zoloft to keep me from killing y’all," he told reporters during an appearance to publicize his Oct. 20 fight against Andrew Golota in Auburn Hills, Mich. The state boxing commission in Michigan has expressed concern about Tyson taking the drug and the fact that he stops taking it before fights. "It has really messed me up, and I don’t want to be taking it, but they are concerned about the fact that I am a violent person, almost an animal," he said. “And they only want me to be an animal in the ring. ‘Hate my guts’ "That’s why I set the pay-per-view records. There are nine million people who see me in the ring who hate my guts, most of them white. But that’s OK. Just spell my name right." He apologized for his almost constant stream of profanity, saying: "This is how I talk. I’m a street person. I never wanted to be a street person; I don’t even like them. "But that’s how my life has turned out. I’ve had a lot of tragedy, humiliation and degradation." He said he only recently figured out why many people don’t like him. ‘I’m so ghetto’ "I’m so ghetto, I didn’t realize it’s because I’m being paid, not because I’m a black man," he said. "And you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to keep getting paid." Tyson initially missed his flight out of Las Vegas on Thursday and the start of the news conference was delayed for two hours. He finally showed up 2 hours and 40 minutes after the original scheduled start, and Golota had already answered a few questions and left the hotel ballroom where the news conference was held. Both fighters have a checkered past in the ring — Tyson’s controversial actions have included biting part of Evander Holyfield’s ear off, and Golota was disqualified for hitting low in two bouts against Riddick Bowe. Golota still said he doesn’t expect the match against Tyson to be a dirty fight. But Tyson, asked if he was concerned about Golota hitting him below the belt, smiled and said, "I hope he does hit me low. I really hope he does." Once the undisputed world heavyweight champion, Tyson claims he isn’t interested in titles now. "I don’t know anything about being the heavyweight champion, or being a good, respectable person," he said. "I just want them to keep bringing guys on and I’m going to strip them of their health. I bring pain, a lot of pain." ()()()()()()()()()(((()()()()((())()()()()()()()()()()()())()()( http://www.apbnews.com/newscenter/breakingnews/2000/09/15/tyson0915_0…
