Would you favor treating someone differently because they're rich?Glad to see Woods got slapped with a very steep 164 buck fine. Hit him where it hurts:roll:! And more than enough to pay for replacement of a fire hydrant:roll:, of course! He'll never want to do that again!:roll:
Lets see, $110,000,000 - 164 = $109,999,836. May have to cut down on the Chinese takeout food!

Several European countries do it that way for speeding tickets and other traffic offenses.
Not sure I agree with it, but it is done. From each according to their ability, and to each according to a comlex algorithm that takes teh idea of personal responsibility out of most everything.
What were we talking about again?
Tiger's Xmas Card for this year
LMAO! Good one!
Again...the guys has it all. Why the need to cheat? If he's that much into having a bunch of different women...why get married?
I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don't share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn't have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it's difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.
Dad????Damn right. Kids don't need role models. They need hard labor and a good belt beating every now and again. I can't wait to be a father.
None of us knows what the true story is and it's not our business. Regardless, that's a pretty big thing to do. I commend him for acknowledging letting down his family and committing to working toward being a better husband and father. Everybody screws up; but he's owning the situation and making amends. And he deserves privacy.
Nothing to do with power. You can add John Anyone to that list. Maybe I am being cynical, but I suspect the majority of people in this country have cheated in some way at one point in their lives.Power corrupts
Bill Clinton, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson.........the list goes on and on.
Oh great, here comes all the role model crap
