I hate to break it to everyone but this argument is retarded. there are people on both sides who obviously don't see the wrong in their side's argument and therefore will not seceeed their position on the issue thus resulting in a circular argumnet that is making this board the laughing stock of the confrence boards. this is a family argument that should be kept to PM's and personal phone calls and IM's. i'm losing respect for this whole thing by the minute.

If it's come to that, then I need a sabatical. I'm causing us to be a laughing stock by defendign our Christian Foundation!
That's a laugh my friend.

Knuckle i wasn't referring to you i was referring to this argument in general. the foundation of our university is not in jepordy. but i think if you lived on campus for a week you'd be shocked.

as a medical professional, I am simply astounded that some of you are offended by the word "testicle" . I keep waiting for the punchline- but sadly, there is none. You're actually offended by a anatomical term. :shock:

do yourselves a favor and never open an Anatomy and Physiology textbook. :D

If the guy had screamed "nice balls" I'd support your righteous indignation.

Guess I'm "wordly" . I'll still tailgate with all of you, and enjoy it immensely.

GO FLAMES.

this is exactly what my WIFE said..."he used the medical terminology for it? its not like he said "i can see one of his gazamba melons"(mine are the only ones she's seen..she doesn't know)

Yes, but the phrase (as far as I know) wasn't being used in a medical context.

The intent wasn't, "that gentleman was injured in his testicles", it was meant as a scatological insult towards the opponent -- something that isn't becoming of us as 1) Christians and 2) Adults.

i agree that the word "testicle" is not big deal. i hear what knuckle is saying, but the foundation at LU is not in jepoardy. i really do not know if this thread started by what went down at the game saturday, but it was one person. i thinkthings are just fine on the mountain!

Oh, jeez. I just rolled my eyes so hard I'm staring at the inside of my skull right now. Fortunately, I took a typing class and know where my home keys are.
Go read the other thread from last night, and see if you don't agree.
Unlike you, I was actually in that thread. And I clearly do not agree.

arguments like these make me amazed that LU has survived this long.

i think we just need to find a better material to build the bubble out of. seems like the current one has a hole in it somewhere.

Gentlemen. After much consideration, I have decided that I truly do need a FF sabatical. It is going to kill me because I love this site and some of the conversations. I am however amazed that I am considered in the minority on this topic. I will be back at some point, but I can't read this place any more until this topic and the other thread have died. It makes me way too angry, and it's just not worth it.

I think some of us are going overboard about what was said. Here's the difference between Liberty fans at a Christian University against secular schools... we're not going to the games drunk and straight cussing at the players. Two years ago I went to Winthrop when we played them in the tournament as a 8 seed and as one has a history at games of being what some of you call "Non-Christian Like" I was appalled. We had a whole group of students come right to us and starting pushing us after the game with beers in their hand, inside the arena! This season I went to the game at East Carolina on a saturday night, and half their fans were wasted and yelling obscenities. I wasn't there and the only thing I know about the situation is what I've read on the locked thread...

I'm just trying to say, if you think someone saying testicle or even sucks at a basketball game is over the line, check out some other schools.

Lucky for us, we don't define what's appropriate by other schools' standards.
