The irony of someone posting this on an internet message board never ceases to crack me up.

As ironic as it may be, how else would you state it? Is it not fact? Yes, it should be common sense but the fact is that most humans are emotional beings, common sense sometimes gets lost. Maybe its more of a "qualifier" of statement.

So how would you get the fact across without sounding "ironic"?

awebb said "punks". It seems like I've heard that word before.

Probably could have used a different word, but old or young rude people are rude people. They aren't going to change. They will continue to go around doing what they want with an air of self importance.
Meanwhile normal people, who realize that as much as it sucks sometimes we have to deal with each other or move to the hills of Montana, accept the idiocy of these people - sigh - and move on.

I wasn't trying to stir you up, man. The irony that I was pointing to was the fact you said "this is the internet and you have no clue who you're talking to".

Do you?

I think your final statement about letting it go is good advice for a lot of us on message boards. :peace2:

Ahhh, I see. I was using "you" and "your" in general terms not to anyone in particular. My bad.

Me and my friend were sitting in section LL, and there was one stray Georgia fan sitting 2 or 3 seats down from us, and when the Georgia band started playing and their crowd started chanting back and forth, I casually mentioned that they probably needed to be quiet because Vinson was down in the end zone. The Georgia fans wife or girlfriend said something about it to him, to which his reply was, "Who cares, it's just a Tennessee player, I haven't had anything to cheer about all day." At that point me and my friend joined in with the chant mainly out of spite to this jerk that was sitting next to us. It should be mentioned that there were no kids in our immediate vicinity, and it wasn't just the students in the lower level, there were a LOT of people in our section joining in. I agree with everyone here that there is no place for that around kids, but our area was entirely adults and it didn't seem to do any harm.

Well see this is where your showing your complete lack of knowledge about how war actually works, which is quite surprising. I'm not gonna try to qualify my experiences here, actually I'm beginning to wonder if your actually in the Army or just pretending to be, especially from your previous statement. Combat is combat my friend, if bullets are being fired at you does it really matter if your on the ground or in the air? The last time I looked you were dead either way.

Normally I would be offended that someone would question my time spent in the Gulf, but knowing that this is the internet and you have no clue of who your talking to I'm just gonna let it go.

I am with you here. I spent two tours in combat as an Army Aviator and last time I checked that counted. Up close and personal is not confined to ground troops. With the single exception of a drone, flying anything in a combat zone is inherently dangerous and life threatening. It's for real, LT. Any combat vet knows that.

i don't see what you guys are even complaining about. its our stadium, the student's stadium. Our school. If you don't like it don't pay to go we aren't making you go. If you don't want to go because you're afraid your 7 year old kid will see the real world too quickly (which he will probably cuss someone out in highschool anyway) then give your seat up. someone else will gladly take it.

And the people around you are not responsible for making your experience a family friendly one. They paid to go just like you did.

I was sitting in XX3, but I didn't hear the Vol student section chanting. Luckily for me, the only thing I heard the whole day was, "HELL YEAH!!!!!!!"

I'm a student here and that might be the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. The student section has what 20,000 student seats (Feel free to correct me I don't know for sure)?

Neyland holds 108,000.

That means there are a lot more than students at the game.
If you don't want to show a little bit of respect to the people around you, you suck as a person.

I really don't care what people say or do and it hadly ever bothers me . . . but the attitude that you shouldn't have to have any regard for anyone else is really pathetic.

Consider the source of said attitude. This place is overdue for a culling of the herd.

You forget GA it is the students' stadium not the overwhelming majority of the fans that actually go to the games.

Well, ThisIsWhyImHot is actually Blaker, so far all I know he's posting on his cell phone from inside the stadium right now.

It is completely reasonable to expect the crowd, student or not, to not chant the F-bomb.

People should be able to hold themselves to more class than that. There is no excuse.

I guess that's why I am a grad student at UT now.

I would hope that you, as I presume a rotor wing pilot, would know the difference between the threats that choppers face and the threats that fixed wing aircraft face in the current operating environment. Can the enemy in Iraq take down our cargo planes? Of course. Is it likely and prominent? Not in the least.

I respect anyone who has served, home or overseas. . . but I really hate seeing the in-fighting.
