Two more 'Gangsta-Style' images. 3) The default song when you enter 'The Crib' is a rap song—the chosen audio entertainment of gangs. Shall I continue or have I proven my point?

LOL, this is officially one of the most ignorant and racist comments I've heard on this board and I've been here 4 yrs. I've never been in or known anyone in a gang and I have used the word "crib." Its urban slang not a gang term.

As for 2 and 3, i'm just speechless. Violence and Greed? The image shows violence and greed? How about the whole sport of football promotes violence and greed but I dont see you having a problem with that.

Also, that rap comment is equally just as ignorant.

If I'm ignorant then you are just flat-out BLIND! How do you live with yourself in such denial? By the way genius, race was not brought into this by me. YOU are responsible for that move.

funny, I thought it was just a take off of shows like MTV Cribs (which is really a modernization of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", where they show famous people's houses...it's as if you're famous, being the owner of a sports team)...didn't really get the "gangsta" aspect, but that's just me. Popular culture isn't associating the term "Crib" with "gangstas" anymore, maybe in the past, but times have changed.

I have not seen any pirates around here lately in the year 2005. Do you know of any that I can interview?

Since you think that I made such an outrageous statement, do the research for yourself. Keep an eye on the news for any gang-related crimes. I guarantee you that 90% of the perpetrators that you see have big, overstated, outlandish jewelry.

You may be right. I personally try to avoid this type of 'culture' so I am not up to date on their terminology. So what would be the word for 'home' in the gang culture today?

Genius? LOL. Yep, I brought up race because you are to scared to say what you wanted to say. You use veiled statements to cover up the fact that when you refer to "gangs" you really mean "urban blacks." I cant respect people like you who dont say what you mean. I'm sure you werent referencing the skinheads or the hispanic esas when you mentioned that rap was the soundtrack to gangs.

Also, 90% of gang members have big outlandish jewelry? LOL, cmon man you cant be serious. I dont know whats funnier the fact that you actually believe that or the fact you begin every post like Mr. Rogers (Hey, Maddenites!)

As for being blind, You just admitted that you dont keep up with the "gang" terminology, so how can you intelligently speak on something you dont fully understand. Thats why I called you (and still call u) ignorant. I dont throw that word around lightly but it fits here. You have no idea what your talking about and you made an ignorant statement. We all have done it at one time. Just suck it up and move on.

Good. You may not be a complete lost cause. You had the courage to admit your mistake.

I thought you preferred the new term, 'African-American'? It's 'Urban Black' now? Geesh! This is hard to keep up with!

That's fine. Doesn't bother me a bit. Respect is earned and I have zero desire to earn it from you.

Hey ahol! (Amazing how appropriate your name is.) Would you settle for 89%?

I don't understand a whole hell of a lot about Doppler Weather Radar Systems either, but I can still look outside and tell you if it is raining with 100% accuracy. You don't really need an 'expertise' in Gangology 101 to say that most of them like a lot of jewelry.

Oh good! You wish to move on. Me too. Can you answer my original question about Madden 2006 Playoff Atmosphere? You never got around to it while in the middle of your diatribe.
