No it doesn't
So it would be ok if I questioned your patriotism, called you a Nazi, or how does Obobby Bin Laden sound?

Since I'm 100% German, I've been called a Nazi many times in my life by my friends.
I really don't care to be honest.
I don't think you could call me Obobby Bin Laden. I may have been born in San Antonio, which could constitute someone for being half Mexican. But I look like a big time crout.

"What is your opinion of the BCS system used to determine a National Champion in College Football?"
There isnt a "National" champion in 1-A football. Only a BCS champion which is hardly national.
Essentially it is a "National Championship". The USA Today Coaches Poll is contractually obligated to name the winner of this game as the National Champion in its final poll of the season. Thus, the winner of the game is awarded the AFCA National Championship Trophy in a postgame ceremony. The winner also is automatically awarded the National Football Foundation's MacArthur Bowl national championship trophy.
But that's neither here nor there. It's a flawed system yet no one in politics wants to address this.
That would assume that every player who plays FBS football has a chance of winning a national championship which isn't the case. It's sad and the only NCAA sport that does that. The NCAA should really take it over. It makes no sense that at the beginning of each season all the players on Duke, Vanderbilt, Baylor, Northwestern, and Standford have an opportunity to win a National Championship, but the players on Hawaii, Northern Illinois, Colorado State, Boise St, and Fresno St. have no chance.
Well I think this is absolutely a political issue that should be addressed in Washington. There's so much money involved that those not included in the BCS have a legit gripe ( not exactly a news flash here on this site but nonetheless..........).

Could be the dumbest thing, I've ever heard.
let's put that idiotic type of thinking for other things in life:
Republicans...pro-choice....murder...simple
Beer companies...pro-drinking...murder...simple
Cigarette companies...pro-smoking..murder..simple
Christian priest...pro-molestation...perves...simple
NRA..pro-guns...murder..simple
Abortion isn't going anyplace, unless you take away personal freedom, like communist do. Who know maybe you are a communist.
You don't like abortion than don't do it, try spending the time teaching kids dicipline and the wrongs about abortion. The same way about drugs, drinking and everything bad.
Just an observation from a centrist..
Democrats get really riled up when anyone disagrees with them.
I don't want the democratic candidate to win this election. I hate to be sold a bill of goods, and that's the feeling I get with the Obama campaign.
So many die hard democrats preach about how socially aware and accepting they are. Yet, they willingly support a candidate with ties to Farakkan through his church. When I heard Reverend Wright say that the chickens have come home to roost in reference to 9-11, that said enough to me.
Barrack Hussein Obama does NOT represent my beliefs. (and neither does his haughty stuffed shirt VP running mate)
Well said.
