yea, why do the famous great football players and whatnot always have to be the trouble makers?

It's a little something called...

"Screw the rules; I have money!"

Why would he steal if he's rich?? :P

He thought the stuff belonged to him.

The famous people think they're above the law. End of question.

I heard about that, but I haven't heard any details since the TV is out.

It's just stupid. If someone less famous did that they wouldn't blink an eyelid before dishing out punishment. Sit back and watch as O.J gets away with it with only minimal problems due to his fame.

he did think that, but he was probably just doing it to get out of it and stuff, like you pretty much said, but yea, he's really crazy, there was no need for that... when one could just go up ask if the stuff is his instead of armed robbery.
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: MagmarFire on September 18, 2007, 02:56:53 PM
The thing was, though, he was so "sure" that that stuff was his, so what would be the point of asking? Heck, I doubt he even held back because he probably figured that he was going to get off the hook easily anyway...
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: JDog on September 18, 2007, 04:00:52 PM
yes, but asking someone if its there stuff is the right thing to do, now if the guy said yes and wouldn't give it to him, I'd do something about it myself...

Yeah, I very much doubt this. If anything, it's going to be exactly the opposite problem. No way he's getting a fair trial after everyone knows he murdered his wife and got away with it.

I'd just like to add this in. OJ Simpson, he isn't a poor fella. I mean he's pretty well off.. and yet he steals. There was no reason for it. He's a disgusting individual. And dont get me started on his book that luckily was never published....
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?

It was. Well, if you're talking about If I Did It. It was renamed 'If I Did it: The Confessions of a Killer" and published.

I honestly think the world would be a better place without O.J. Simpson.
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?

But without people like O.J Simpson to despise, where would all our hatred and general need to grumble go? We'd just end up as quivering piles of jellied hate!
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: JDog on September 20, 2007, 07:51:06 PM
mmmmhm, idk, O.J. was still a great football player, but only if he wasn't so mad with greed and violence, none of this would never have happened.
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?

Being a good player is hardly an excuse for what he's done...  ::)

You have a good point. I suppose that also explains why people like Paris Hilton exist...

Hey mister, i do believe you stole that from me, can i have it back?

if the stuff was his, he had every right to take it back
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: Twilight Wolf on September 22, 2007, 12:51:53 PM
That doesn't make it okay for him to break into a hotel room and hold people at gunpoint. If he wanted his stuff that badly, he could have taken the civilized and legal route and sued the guy to get his stuff back.

Asking with the word "please" works wonders, actually.
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: MagmarFire on September 22, 2007, 05:15:44 PM
Or he could've just dropped the entire thing and replaced the stuff. He's got the money for it, after all.

...Right?
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: Fishalicious on September 22, 2007, 05:21:03 PM
You have to remember, though, not everything can be bought with money. Sometimes it's about the emotions behind one trivial object. Like... er, lets say my ancient, oversized grey jacket. I've had it forever, and I just can't bear to get rid of it because of all the memories behind it. It's my security blanket of sorts. (I stopped wearing it after last year, though... it's falling apart. (I need to buy a new jacket...;;))
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: Twilight Wolf on September 22, 2007, 06:22:25 PM
But like I said before, if he wanted the stuff back, he could have dropped a lawsuit on the guys who supposedly stole from him. Even the threat of legal intervention might have been enough for them to return the stuff.

True. But it was just an idea for an alternative action that could've been done.
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: DW on September 22, 2007, 07:41:12 PM
Still, have they even confirmed if it was his or not? He could have just made it up to try and get out of it.
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: Twilight Wolf on September 22, 2007, 07:55:24 PM
I believe that the stuff was probably O.J.'s, but if it wasn't, does he honestly think that saying it was will let him get away with it? If he does, he's a complete fricking moron, on top of the fact that he's a homocidal psycho.
Title: Re:sigh, when will O.J. learn?
Post by: darkphantomime on September 22, 2007, 08:34:40 PM
He already IS a freaking moron and homicidal psycho.
