Tiger Woods Stands Up for His Wife

I don't think that finding some praises a bit exagerated, and that Tiger did what any man would've done in his situation, makes someone a troll. It's just his opinion. Just like other's opinion is to appreciate Tiger standing up for his wife. What's wrong with any of these 2?

Well frankly it's people who come in here with responses like young that get me thinking "troll".

Yeah, that's what I was thinking at first, and furthermore, believing that anyone who stands up for someone else they love as not being brave is just foolish. Without courage, Tiger wouldn't have did it at all, and who can honestly say that ANYONE on earth would do the same thing for ANYONE else they love, celebrity or not? :roll:

Besides, there are plenty of people (celebrities or not) who could care less about their spouses.

MAN, I say it again: If it takes courage for one to defend the one he/she loves, then there`s a problem!!
It should be instinctive!!! Courage means you actually hesitate and then say "well let`s go!!"
Defending the one you love against any sort of attack shouldn`t be done with any hesitation!!!
 
It's interesting. I could see some circumstances where defending a loved one might take courage. Any instance in which the safety or wellbeing of the defender was at risk of being compromised, by them getting involved, might qualify as a courageous act. In this instance, Tiger did'nt make the cut, pun intended. Nothing wrong with what he did though, it just was'nt courageous.

It's quite an interesting phenomenon that it's tolerated if people complain about "no good black men" ad nauseam, but as soon as a man is doing the right thing and people comment him for the things he does right, there is always someone who feels the urge to dismiss his actions as "no big deal" or "something he is supposed to do" - no matter if the man in question is a celebrity or an "ordinary" person.
This is nonsense when Tiger Woods doesn't even consider himself black. And his marriage is a joke. It's a classic case of a geek getting rich and getting with a gold digger.

I did'nt want to say it, but it does look like a classic case. Of course, it does'nt mean it is the case, but let's not pretend 'everyone' is'nt thinking it. Tiger Woods and his wife might even be oblivious to all the dynamics involved in the formation of their relationship. Nature and biological forces have a way of finding realisation, in spite of any human presumptions which believe our motivations and choices have their basis in free will.

^^^ You don't believe in free will???

I believe in 'free will' somewhat, but the basis of much of our behaviour has its roots in our biological tendencies. Anyone would be advised to study philosophy, psychology and the relevant ologies one encounters in biology, to understand the degree to which much of our behaviour is determined. The subject is far too complicated to tackle here.
 
Okay.
I just thought you may be one of the 100% determinism types.
I agree that there are “other factors” that we sometimes don't give credit to but free will has its place without a doubt .

It takes courage to do it publicly as he did, and you can say it again and again as much as you want to, but you don't have to agree. Not everyone is quick to defend the one they love in the manner which Tiger did.

I say it was. This is one of those instances to me.
