JethroTull Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 It appears there has been some fallout, Kelloggs drops him and he has been banned for 3 months(whatever that means). What a freaking loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I honestly can't believe anyone cares. I don't smoke pot and frankly, don't ever care to, but what's the big deal here? It's not like they caught him smoking crack or shooting up heroin in a dark alley. It's weed, for God's sake. Athletes are NOT role models. They're rich people paid to play a sport or perform an activity at an elite level. Most of them don't even have college degrees. If you think kids should look up to people like this for life lessons, you're sorely mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JethroTull Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Look if he wants to smoke pot, fine. But don't let yourself get photographed doing so. If my employer had photo's of me taking bong hits, I'm almost sure I'd be fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the almost pathetic moral outrage over Michael Phelps smoking pot at all is what makes me laugh. It's almost like people can't believe a rich, 20-something athlete who just won 8 gold medals in one Olympic games would EVER do something that might not be that intelligent.

Electrophile Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hey, he should also be allowed to smoke crack and shoot heroin. Let's not discriminate. In theory, you're correct. If he wants to smoke crack or shoot up heroin, it's his body, let him do with it what he pleases. My point was that getting caught smoking pot is not nearly as "ZOMG WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!11!!1" as say.....if he was photographed tying his arm off and sticking a needle in it. There's degrees of stupidity here. I think the outrage would have been more justifiable if it was crack or heroin, though. Those are hardcore street drugs.

JethroTull Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 As part of the manufacturing process, doesn't all pot get dipped in heroin? What if Phelps was a school bus driver, driving our adorable little ones to school each day. WHAT THEN? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mag9990 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 What's wrong, did I hit a nerve? Well no, I just thought it was a joke. If pot was made with heroin, people could die from it. And the whole bus driver comment was really irrelevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 For God's sake, of course if he was hitting a bong while driving a school bus full of children, that would be a major fucking issue. But he wasn't. And there's no actual indication that he ever will. So what's your point? The ingestion of any kind of intoxicant while operating a motor vehicle is a big problem, be it weed or alcohol. No one should be driving while under the influence. Period. But again, he wasn't driving or even anywhere near schoolkids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 How did he get home from the party he attended? Hmmmm. I'd like to see him stripped of his swim trunks. We all know that the pot today is MEGA stronger than the pot from 30 years ago. And some of it does get dipped in various substances, PCP, heroin and Red Bull to name a few.

Most of the time grass is simply grass, it hasn't gotten significantly stronger than it was in the 80's, and he probably didn't drive home from a "party." He probably was just toking with a couple buddies and crashed there. Poor guy, his only mistake was having a picture of it. I give Phelps credit for being a bigger man than I could be; I would have said it was a water pipe (tobacco). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Red Bull? Please, just lighten up a little bit. Most of the time grass is simply grass, it hasn't gotten significantly stronger than it was in the 80's NOT according to the articles I've been reading.

WHAT THEN?Yeah, ok strawman Here's a question on par with the shit you just pulled: What if the Marines in Iraq were shooting at our adorable little ones while they went to school each day?

The Rover Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Awwwww, Michael should have singed up to be on the Wheaties Box instead of Kelloggs.... After all, if you look down the list of atheletes that have appeared on Wheaties Boxes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_athle..._Wheaties_boxes You'll find a nice selection of: Drunks Adulteres / Womanizers / Whoremongers Steroid Users Illegal Gamblers Now that's the kind of company Michael needs to be with, now that he's not "pure" enough to be a Kelloggs Man...
