There is a prison thread in Ask/Tell and it made me much less afraid to go to prison. It is pretty drat interesting. It doesn't sound that bad (I mean I am sure it is horrible, but the guy said Trailer Park Boys has the most accurate depiction of jail of any TV show  ). Apparently rapes and fights and poo poo don't really happen too often.

A few other people chimed in also and none of them really had anything different to say. Of course, no one on here got out of a supermax or whatever obviously

I think the decapitated coal miner thing is a decent point. There's an almost preposterous amount of jobs that can maim you out there. Many of them done by idiots, who probably will get maimed.

If you're taking the piss I apologize, but we have entire government agencies dedicated to minimizing risk for workers, whereas the NFL has Goodell saying "Don't worry moms I promise we're doing our very best to keep their brains in one piece" and shills like Florio saying "Don't be a pussy, pussy" so I'm not really sure it's the same thing.

Those dangerous jobs have people that claim OSHA just gets in their way and do call people pussies for wanting to do things the safe way. Because people are idiots. I remember hearing a railroad conductor in a bar back home griping that they have to stop the train to get on and off when they used to be able to just grab onto the railing and swing on. Too many guys slipped and got legs cut off so now you can't do that. Seems reasonable to me. But to him it was just BIG GOVERNMENT slowing him down at work.

Sash! posted:Those dangerous jobs have people that claim OSHA just gets in their way and do call people pussies for wanting to do things the safe way. Because people are idiots. Yeah this is true. And some number of NFL players are probably idiots who don't appreciate the risks. But that doesn't make Florio's point a good one. He was comparing football players to firemen and police officers (and people who ride motorcycles without helmets ???) as a way of saying the risks of football should be acceptable -- and even palatable because players are well-compensated. But just because people accept risks doesn't mean risk is good or should be accepted uncritically. And it doesn't make Borland's decision to retire shameful or bad, which is what Florio seems to think. On top of that he's a notorious shill for a league that has done their best to hide those risks, made it harder to manage them, avoided compensating those suffering because of the risks the NFL was hiding, and pretended like they're doing everything they can to make football safe for your brain. Chichevache posted:I didn't really feel that was Florio's point. Was there some context I'm missing? No more context than that first tweet, which implies Borland is an ungrateful pussy. He said some other stuff in his dumb rant but that's the gist of it.

People use the military in examples like that all the loving time. poo poo, it just happened recently when Derrick Rose talked about preserving his long term health. I don't blame the guy for assuming.

Mike Florio deserves no credit ever for being thoughtful or original. It's safe to assume everything he says refers to the lowest, dumbest denominator. So I'd have thought military too until he pulled out the MY UNCLE line
