Truth

[NEF]

Truths heard in the home this week,
"life is not fair", and "putting in more work than someone else, doesn't really mean much"
Tough, maybe next week will be better.

 

[Coach Hig]

It is unfortunate to sign in and read a thread on "truth" and have to admit that it is true.

As part of a current and ongoing addressing of some questionable acts of a rec league, instructions to correct have been "complied" with by .... wait for it, more falsities (i.e., manipulation and cheating).

And some things aren't "softball politics" or a "conspiracy" against one's DD...could just be the truth.

 

[Doug Romrell]

And some things aren't "softball politics" or a "conspiracy" against one's DD...could just be the truth.

Who is the gatekeeper of what truth is?? How many conspirators admit their own conspiracy? However, it is true that not all issues are "softball politics" and/or "conspiracy."

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I believe that video would confirm that the HS Head Coach wasn't struck by a foul ball, rather it was a softball thrown from the grassy knoll by a disgruntled TB parent.

Kaffee: *I want the truth!*
Col. Jessep: *You can't handle the truth!*
[pauses]
Col. Jessep: Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
-- A Few Good Men

Greatest movie quote ever.....
and THAT'S the truth!
