Jon Bon Jovi is the mastermind behind Thunder

Umm. Ok. Thanks? I guess!

For an Epic Band such as Thunder, it doesn't! Sorry!

I don't own an actual dictionary but can I use Wikipedia instead?

Stop Whining! You're starting to sound like a bitch. Just sayin'

No other country can contend with US sports, Football and Baseball. We recruit Baseball players from all over the world but only a handful are good enough to make it over. Hence "World" Champions

Well, because that's what it says. Everyone else got it, you didn't. Is the world wrong, or could it just be that you are?

Where did you get the idea it had to be an epic story? No one can compete with your imagination, but the word "epic" was never used.

A matter of opinion. To me it's just as interesting as the story that started this thread.

I wouldn't call them an "epic" band, but you have the right. But you're the only one in this thread. The others said "well-known", and there IS a difference between the two.

How come I'm not surprised? Whatever floats your boat. But look them up, they will come in handy.

I also suggest you look up "whining" from Wikipedia, you seem to have no idea what the word means.

And to conclude:
Wow. How ignorant can you be? Really? It's really easy being the best in a sport that's not really pleayed anywhere else. There's no contest.

Football? You mean the game that should be called "carrying the eilliptical egg"? Football is a game where you have a ball (a ball is round, not something else) and you kick it with your feet. Not a game where you throw the "ball" with your hands and run into other men.

As to the "football" you're referring to, that was developed in the UK (as, BTW was baseball), and it's still played all over the world (!). It's called rugby and for that they don't use the pussy-paddings the Americans wear.

As to "No other Country" [sic], let's take a look at the olympics, that ended a few weeks ago. They were held in London, that's a part of the UK, which is a part of Europe. You know "the rest of the world" from where you're standing.

Yes, the US won the most medals. But only because you had the biggest team. If weighed by the population and the number of athletes in the team, countries like Jamaica beat the US clearly. And that's just summer games. In the winter games the last time in Vancouver, both Canada and Germany got more gold medals than the US.

In ice-hockey (for which "you recruit all over the world"), US hasn't one gold since 1960. And all in all, the US ice hockey team has as many world championships as Finland, which has a population of about 5 million. And Finland's last championship was in 2011. Actually, the last medal the US ice hoceky team won was in 2004 and that was bronze.

In Formula One, the biggest motor sports in the world, there isn't one driver from the US in the series. As a matter of fact, the last time there was an American driving in Formula One was in 2007, when Scott Speed retired from the sport, having won nothing, not a single point or even a pole position in three years. Currently there are two Finnish drivers in F1, five Germans, two Brasilians and even an Indian guy, but no Americans.

Then there's the biggest sport in the whole world, football. Or what you Yanks call "soccer". The last time they played for the world cup, the US team didn't even make it to the quarter finals. In fact, they lost to Ghana, a real super county in football. No, not really, Ghana is only 31st in the FIFA ranking. The US is number 33.

I'm all for patriotism, its all good, but stupidity is another thing.

Ice

Does anyone have the correct time?

Eating popcorn, drinking beer and reading this thread is better that eating popcorn, drinking beer and watching tv.....

I'm in some hotel room in Dublin, I'm bored to death, and I decide to read this. And for the first time in about 10 years, I think that Iceman actually has a sense of humour

Rdkopper, there have been a lot of lunatics on this message board. God knows why jovitalk seems to attract them time and again. Yet they were lunatics, twisted, insane, obsessed, etc.
You, you are just ****in' stupid and I am saying it with a honest, subtle, and indeed, very condescending smile on my face.

I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you over the Olympics. The US won the most metals because they won the most events. PERIOD!
You can throw all your little text book stats at me and then I can counter with mine but at the end of it all, the USA won the most. Anyway, the Olympic Games are fun to watch but they are a different classification of the word sport. For example, I don't classify Curling as a ****ing sport.

American Football is one bad-ass sport. Those are primed athletes! They are unstoppable machines. If the pussy-paddings weren't worn, they would literally kill each other. No other major sport in the world could contend with that type of skill, endurance, and toughness.

Bottom line.... I never said the Americans are #1 in every sport they every played in. I am saying that they do have the best overall athletes in the world. Especially in American Football, Baseball, and Basketball.

You said that we were dumb for calling baseball the World Series and football World Champions and I explained why..... Although not played all over the world, they are the best in the world!!!!

Keep in mind, this statement is coming from a guy who said that Bon Jovi stole New Jersey from Guns and Roses

Aloha !

Amurreca...FƲCK YEAH!



You're exactly the kind of guy that Team America makes fun of yet you don't realize it yourself because you're way too busy telling others how great you are, thus this leading to others thinking that you're an ignorant douchebag failing to understand basic things like irony and sarcasm. You can be patriotic all you want, but the most patriotic American often is often the one with the worst education, all things that keep showing itself in your posts. Considering how you're missing out on a lot that's been said on here I seriously wonder how you've managed to make it to 38. So there, that was my uber tough post of the day. Now please reply with another tough post which will confirm your lack of understanding once again. Go for it!



Salaam Aleikum,

No no Rdkopper. You are wrong. That statement is coming from an entire forum of people. I think everyone who posted in this thread, underlined your limited capacity to make sense in one way or another. Maybe, maybe, maybe you should think about it and do something about it. 38 is not too late to stop being f*ckin' Beavis AND Butthead in the same person.
