QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 12:10 PM) Anyone remember message boards? Those things were cool back in the day. Chat Rooms that were big games. I frequented the Name that Movie room a lot.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) Remember the world of "download managers" that would let you pause those HUGE 3MB downloads because there's no way you were going to stay online long enough in one sitting for that to finish downloading? I'd start a download, go to school, come home, and it still wouldn't be done. Or the connection was interrupted at some point during the day. This was when AOL finally went $19.99 a month unlimited. Accidentally ran up a big bill when they charged by the hour for awhile.

White Sox Acquire James Shields
Pedro Martinez @45PedroMartinez 10h10 hours ago I hope Shields realizes he's flying open and his head is too far away from his release point. He needs to work on his mechanics.

2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 07:51 AM) Trump adds the Washington post to his blacklist, revoking their press credentials for his campaign. They join a growing list of media organizations banned by trump for accurately reporting on his statements and history. Freedom of the Press!

2015-2016 NBA Thread
QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:52 PM) I wonder if say they'd offer the 5th and Gorgui Dieng, who could be appealing to Chicago if they lost Gasol and Noah, they would definitely need a big of some sort to replace them. Chicago would probably ask for Zach Lavine to be included in any deal I'd imagine as well. KAT and the pick will suffice.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 04:53 PM) The speeds that IPs sell you are a crock of s*** anyway. It's an "up to" speed which is rarely ever hit. I pay for 100mbps and I probably average 25. I pay for 100 and get 50 on wifi and 90 wired.

How is Trump trying to save lives? He's in no position to do so, so,hasn't done anything. Just spews words.

Pulse Nightclub Shooting in Orlando
QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 10:56 PM) Why the USA? We're the only place in the world with these murders going on at least one a month. Why the political correctness? The FBI knew this guys was a f***ing America-hater. Why can't we make his life hell? Track him daily? Grill him? Rough him up? Our leader knew this guy was a danger!!! But PC means we can't touch him til he kills 50 people in a nightclub. All those young people dead. Probably most all of 'em had to be under 30. So this disaster most affects those who have had to grow up in a Post 9/11 world where the USA is a cesspool of violence. Chicago is a battle zone. Mass murders in schools, clubs, malls, next one is a sports arena. It will be so bad. You can't tell me these homegrown madmen aren't going to pull one of those off. Only thing good about this situation last night is the killer is dead. I still haven't read how the cops shot him or what the killer did with his hostages. Last thing I read was he had hostages. What a country. Some person reports she was saved only because she hid under a pile of dead bodies. Sorry you had to die, victims. Very sorry. Hope there is a heaven and you are in it. Hope all the future killers are caught by the FBI BEFORE they murder! p.s. could we please make it more difficult or impossible to buy assault rifles? I read the bastard that did this recently went and bought his weapons legally. Even if you don't like Michael Moore, I'd recommend watching "Bowling For Columbine". It's an unbiased movie that asks questions.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 11:19 AM) Why is every post in here about Trump? Even as someone who only posts about Trump, that's embarassing. I see 5 posts about Trump out of 22. He's the one that tweeted about terrorism so it's not unreasonable to talk about him.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) I don't see it, what did he say? Or do you mean he assumed it was a Muslim shooter? I reread the tweet and may have misinterpreted. He said police investigating terrorism or something. In his mind, I still think he's loving the fact it was a Muslim.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 12, 2016 -> 09:56 AM) Senseless tragedy. I'm sure Trump will double down on his call to ban Muslims from the country. He tweeted something before they even released the shooters name.

That's a huge jump in casualties. Read about one guy texting his mom during. They don't know if he survived but last text was something about the shooter is here. He was hiding in the bathroom.

Knife found on OJ's estate by construction workers
Anyone watch Part 1 of "OJ: Made in America"? Really good backstory on his upbringing and celebrity. Lots of stuff I've never seen. Makes his downfall even more confusing and there are 4 more parts left next week.
