Hello,

I do not engage in very much athletic activity, and certainly do not
participate in any organized sport. Sports is one of those pathetic and
pointless activities that you humans like to engage in or watch, as a way of
distracting yourselves from the horrific and unbearable truths in life. And
believe me, it is NO accident that countless millions of adults, in the USA
alone, waste their lives obsessively following their "team" or their favorite
athlete. This occurs due to the very deliberate, calculated, and malevolent
efforts of society to channel the rage, hate, and frustration of boys and young
men into the societally controlled and "harmless" sports activities. In the
USA, your society is so BLATANT in it's malicious brainwashing that it doesn't
even try to hide this fact. The SEASONS for baseball, football, basketball, and
hockey are deliberately scheduled in such a way that as soon as one sport ends,
a new one begins. In this way, you brainwashed sheeple are never without your
SEDATIVE. Because that is what sports is: a psychiatric sedative, used by
society to CONTROL and CHANNEL the energy and attention of men, just like
Ritalin is used by your malevolent society to control and diminish the energy
of so-called hyperactive children.

The only athletic activities I engage in are weightlifting and target
shooting. One of the most ridiculous, pointless, and repugnant sports is that
of golf, a game that requires no strength, no athletic ability, and it involves
the INSANE act of trying to get a little white ball to roll into an artificial
hole that has been created within a grassy area. But of course it makes sense
that this type of insane game would appeal to WEALTHY, socially successful
humans, who just can't get themselves in the mood for any actual PHYSICAL
activity such as the more athletic sports require.

Anyway, the actor Michael Douglas likes to play golf, and he is now facing a
rather unpleasant legal situation as a result of his golf play. Over in New
York, a golf caddy named James Parker has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit
against Michael, claiming that Michael drove a golf ball, at high speed,
DIRECTLY into James' TESTICLES! OWWWWIEEEE! In fact, according to James, BOTH
of his testicles RUPTURED from the force of the golf ball, and he had to have
one testicle removed during emergency surgery.

Michael apparently admits that he was part of a golf playing foursome that
used James as their caddy, but says that he was not the golfer who struck this
VERY poorly aimed shot. But caddy James insists that it was Michael, and that
Michael failed to wait until James could get out of the way, and failed to yell
the customary "fore", which is a warning designed to get people out of the line
of a golf shot.

James further declares that AFTER he was hit in the testicles, and laying on
the ground in AGONY, Michael simply walked over, made no attempt to assist him,
but DID reach down and STUFFED a small amount of cash money into his pocket,
before walking away!

I think that if all of James' allegations are accurate, this lawsuit should
be successful. Michael is guilty of gross, criminal negligence, and a one
million dollar+ judgement is right in line with what James deserves to win.
James is BLACK, and he is also alleging that Michael uttered a racial epiteth
as he walked away. IMO, there is no need for James to bring this up. it is
overkill, and if I was a juror, I would look UNFAVORABLY upon any effort by
James to use his race to try and garner additional sympathy. His case, if true,
is strong enough. He should not try to play a race card.

As you might expect, Michael Douglas is eager to protect and preserve his
"good name", being a societal leader who practices the art of PROFESSIONAL
LYING, as an actor. Thus he is denying all of the charges, and says that it was
a different person in the foursome who drove that little white ball into James'
penis and testicles.

Take care, JOE

Michael Douglas accused of low hit in golf

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York golf caddy filed a multimillion dollar lawsuit
against actor Michael Douglas, alleging that the film star injured him in the
testicles with a golf shot.

James Parker alleged in his lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal court that his
testicles ruptured from the impact of the golf ball and that one had to be
removed surgically.

Douglas' publicist, Allen Burry, said the film star was ''shocked'' by the
allegations. He said the actor acknowledged being a member of a foursome that
had used the caddy, but denied being the person who struck the ball.

``Michael was the one who got help for the guy. He can't believe this,'' Burry
said. ``He said: 'This is just ridiculous.'''

Parker said he was a caddy for Douglas in a tournament at the Elmwood Country
Club in Westchester County in 1997.

He alleged that Douglas hit the golf ball before Parker had reached a safe
distance on the green. He alleged that the actor did not yell ``Fore'' when he
hit the ball.

Parker said that when he heard the sound of the ball being struck he turned
around and was hit.

Although Parker was unable to move, Douglas did not attempt to assist him, the
caddy alleged, and instead stuffed a small sum of money in his pocket and
walked away.

Caddy sues Michael Douglas for injury from golf shot

NEW YORK, Aug 6 (Reuters) - A New York golf caddy filed a multimillion dollar
lawsuit on Thursday against actor Michael Douglas, alleging that the film star
injured him in the testicles with a golf shot.

The plaintiff, James Parker, alleged in his lawsuit filed in Manhattan federal
court that his testicles ruptured from the impact of the golf ball and that one
testicle had to be removed surgically.

Douglas publicist, Allen Burry, said he spoke with Douglas who said that he was
``shocked'' by the allegations. He said the actor acknowledged being a member
of a foursome that had used the caddy, but denied being the person who struck
the ball.

``Michael was the one who got help for the guy. He cant believe this,'' Burry
said. ``He said: This is just ridiculous.''

Parker described himself as a black man with at least six years experience as a
caddy.

He said he was a caddy for Douglas in a golf tournament at the Elmwood Country
Club in Westchester County, New York in October 1997.

He alleged that Douglas at one point hit the golf ball before Parker had
reached a safe distance on the green. He alleged that the actor did not yell
``Fore'' when he hit the ball.

Parker alleged that when he heard the sound of the ball being struck he turned
around and was hit.

Although Parker was unable to move, Douglas did not attempt to assist him, the
caddy alleged, and instead stuffed a small sum of money in his pocket and
walked away allegedly uttering a racist term.

Michael Douglas denies injuring golfing caddy

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Michael Douglas is teed off about a lawsuit blaming him
for injuring a caddy in a golfing accident, and the actor said Friday he would
take legal action to protect his name.

Douglas issued a statement denying allegations in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit
filed Thursday in Manhattan federal court accusing the actor of striking a golf
ball without yelling ``Fore!'' and before the caddy was in a safe location. He
also denied he had made a racial slur about the black caddy.

Douglas said another member of his foursome last year at a charity tournament
in Westchester County, New York, was the golfer who struck the caddy with a
drive while the caddy was on the course.

``Having not seen the lawsuit, it is impossible to speak directly to the
charges of what has been claimed,'' Douglas said, but he added that ``in
response to the news media reports today, I can only say that the charges made
against me are completely false.''

The caddy, James Parker, alleged in the lawsuit that he was struck in the penis
and testicles by a ball hit by Douglas and that his testicles ruptured from the
impact. He said one testicle had to be removed surgically.

Parker alleged that Douglas refused to help him after the accident and instead
stuffed a small amount of money in his pocket and walked away, uttering a
racial slur.

Douglas said he had been invited to play in the tournament at Elmwood Country
Club last year as a member of a foursome made up of two of his friends and a
fourth man named Mark Drach.

Douglas said he met Drach for the first time that day and it was Drach who
accidentally struck the caddy. Drach could not be reached for comment.

Parker alleged in his suit that Drach was Douglas' bodyguard. He also said he
was contacted later by an insurance company on behalf of Drach, who ``falsely''
claimed that he, not Douglas, had hit the caddy.

According to Douglas' publicist, Allen Burry, the actor does not have a
bodyguard.

Douglas also denied Friday that the foursome refused to help Parker after the
accident. Instead, he said, the men all rushed to the caddy's aid. He said he
himself had then left to seek help.

``At no time did I or anybody in my presence make any racial slurs, and the
suggestions that it was I who hit the ball and uttered the comment claimed is
totally false and slanderous and will force me to take the necessary legal
action to protect my name,'' Douglas said.

Burry would not comment on what action Douglas planned to take.

It sounds like this man will never be able to have children of his own and may
have to have male hormone shots for the rest of his life. In effect, he may
have been completely castrated. He deserves a lot of money from someone. I
agree with Joe about the racial remark though. If it never happened, it should
not be used in the trial. It sounds too much like something O.J. would do.

Leave Michael alone. If this thing with the Caddy happened in October 1997,
then why is this guy coming out with the story now? Michael didn't do
anything wrong he's innocent. He wouldn't do anything like that. This Caddy
probely wants money from him. And besides I totally agree with Michael this
is ridiculous and any body in the right mind would know to stay off the golf
green while someones taking a shot. My father's a golfer and I caddy with him
and I know to stay far away from someone when their taking a swing. I agree
with Michael and everyone leave him alone.

I would like to know how you came to have this information. Were you there? I
agree the caddy " probely" wants money. He "probely" wants money to pay his
medical expenses, replace his lost wages so he doesn't end up homeless, and
return his body to normal as much as it can be.

Hmmm. Do you personally know Michael Douglas? I doubt you do so it's
impossible that you'd know what he would or wouldn't do.

You claim you personally know Michael Douglas, that is all well and
good.
Were you there? Were you there when the incident took place? If so, then
your opinion carries much weight, if not, it is meaningless. I happen to
agree with Mr.Joe1Orbit in his description of actors. They are
PROFESSIONAL LIARS. I don't care whether Mr.Douglas is divorced, that
has nothing to do with the accusations against him. Stop pleading his
case
for him. I doubt he really cares that you do and you look somewhat
childish and in awe of him. He is nothing but a man.

Does anyone think that we should have a learner permit system for computers and
the internet? Perhaps mandatory Netiquette courses in high-school? A typing
permit at 16 but only under the supervision of an adult typist? Then at 18 the
kiddies would take a test and if they don't flame anyone, troll anyone or type
in all caps for a period of 6 months, they would be issued an Internet License
and subject to the rules and regulations of polite Netiquette behavior.

Of course, we'd have to weigh all those rules and regulations against the
amusement factor produced by such posts, too...
