QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 01:06 AM) Trust me. Gay guys are brutal to each other. If you're over 30 without a six pack they can be very mean. Gay life is full of partying, drinking, lots of drugs, and sex. I have many great gay friends don't get me wrong. Interesting to be educated on this. Do you find that gay people tend to be only about sex way more than a man/woman thing? As somebody with no clue on this subject I would 'think' that in gay relationships it's WAY MORE about hopping into bed ASAP, like I mean cut the date short and hit the covers. Am I right? Sorry if this offends. I'll stop if it's a bad subject.

This is good stuff on CNN. So if some male celebrity was to say he chooses Bernie over Hillary because he's a man, he'd get roasted by the media. But feminists are saying there's a special place in hell for women who don't support women and that's OK?? This young voter gets it right. Also did you see the clip of Rachel Maddow hugging Hillary and Bernie after the debate. Hilarious. Wink, wink we are all for you Hillary! Via CNN article. ... "As a young woman who supports Bernie Sanders, I'm frustrated and outraged by being constantly attacked by older feminists for my refusal to vote according to my gender," said Ariana Javidi, a sophomore studying human rights, economics and gender studies at the University of Connecticut. "Like my fellow young feminist women, I recognize that voting for a woman because she's a woman is sexist, just like voting for a man because he's a man is also sexist," said Javidi. "When older feminists like Albright and Steinem engage in increasingly baseless and wild explanations about why young women don't support Hillary, they display the limitations of their brand of feminism, while young women like me realize that one's gender isn't what makes them a feminist."

Please watch this and tell me there's not a bias AGAINST the Republicans. O'Reilly gets it right and hits hard. http://video.foxnews.com/v/4745292784001/h...1#sp=show-clips

Sox need a shortstop who can hit over .200. I really feel in a full season, Saladino won't hit for s***. I wonder how season ticket sales are going. Right now, I can't see this team overachieving. A ceiling of .500 seems about right. Please make a couple more moves, White Sox.

If they move, no way in hell would I be a Sox fan. I'd also feel very weird, like my whole life was a sham. The past wouldn't mean much if the team is in some other city. Sports are a big deal. I witnessed relatives screaming at each other in Sox vs. Cubs arguments. I actually was peacemaker in going to some Cub games with my grandfather as a kid since no other relatives would go with him. If the Sox moved, that would be terrible. I'm almost positive I would not follow them at all. I doubt I'd start to root for the Cubs but I guess it's possible. Chicago is the key here.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) who was that? I do love comparing elections in the 60's to now. People were all over the message boards back then talking about Nixon's sweat. History is history. It was a factor in the election. Candidates as you are well aware spend amazing amounts of time practicing looking into cameras, making sure they don't look scary on TV. Whether it's 30 percent or 50 percent ... superficial issues like looks and how one sounds definitely trump the issues in many cases.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 12:35 AM) Ironically trying to counter the fact that he's not another version of the inexperienced and unprepared Obama by saying how effective he is at destroying the country isn't the greatest argument in the world. Nor is citing your own accomplishments when you don't actually show up for the votes but simultaneously dinging Obama for golfing when GW Bush doing the same or hanging out at his Crawford ranch was just being a man's man. Caulfield, I respect your political posts. It's obvious you know your s***. Tell me what's going to happen in terms of both parties and then the general election.

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 7, 2016 -> 03:28 PM) I thought he said the wife knows and doesnt care before. No, the wife caught him before and was deeply hurt, but stayed married. He said it was a one time thing and wouldn't do it again. The wife is very nice and a mother of 2 so cool little ones. The guy just is an admitted sex addict and had the one bad experience with the psychiatrist and won't go back.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 04:10 AM) We need to dispel with the notion that greg775 doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing. What he's doing .... uh, • Expressing distaste for Hillary a lot. • Making a TRUE statement about superficialities being important to American voters. Do a Google on Nixon's appearance on TV vs. Kennedy. It was a BIG FACTOR. • Forgive me for posting about Hillary screaming when I heard about it on TV (somebody said it was sexist to comment on a woman screaming and not a man, because if a man does it it's perceived as forceful) and then sure enough I listened to her most recent speech and she was SCREAMING while spouting dumb cliches. One poster pointed out it's scary HOW MANY TIMES I've been actually right about some things. Forgive me if I post about Hillary a lot in a Democratic forum. There are only 2 candidates for gosh sakes. Hillary and Bernie. p.s. when I got asked to quit calling them nicknames did you notice I, uh, stopped doing so? If all posters obeyed like that it'd be a better board IMO. Truthfully since I got asked to quit giving my pet names for Bernie and Hillary ... I STOPPED DOING SO.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 7, 2016 -> 07:32 PM) Jesus christ stop and read what you wrote. That's really the argument you want to bring? You don't like her shrill volume level at the microphone? No I don't like that. And Balta, you are a smart person. You know little things like how a person looks or sounds means a TON in Presidential elections. Nixon losing to Kennedy because of the way he sweat on TV. Humphrey's looks and voice. You don't think superficiial things like looks and screaming matter? I'd say 30 percent of all voters vote on likeability. In our superficial country?? Of course they do. I despise Hillary for a lot of reasons but yes I wonder how Hillary supporters can stand listening to her scream out cliches? I notice you didn't answer my specific question but effectively changed the subject to screaming at me.

ABC is a joke. How can they not have a producer or intern or somebody in the hallway during the introductions and not make Carson look like a zombie? That was terrible. There are just horrible horrible candidates on the Republican side. Is Rubio serious about repeating the same lines four times in the debate? That's insane. He comes across as glass eyed and a nutjob, sort of. Cruz is just bizarre and abrasive to the ears needs to go away. By the end, people are going to be so sick of Trump it would be the biggest landslide in history if he runs against Hillary. Obviously I hate Hillary but her one saving grace is she has Bill hovering in the background and Bill is entertaining/cool, whatever the word you want to use. Carson is great but doesn't come across well on TV. Christie is like having Mike Ditka as president; won't fly. What a sorry cast of characters. Out of all of them you'd have to pick Trump as most electable still but again, his supporters are too vocal in a meanish way. But ABC ... did they try to embarrass the Rebulicans with that introduction? Was it deliberate?

Update on my friend who cheats with the hot chick while he and wife remain a couple while raising two kids. He's thinking about moving so the mistress will lose interest in him. She's way younger than him and is starting to complain about him spending time with his wife. She's starting to get more aggressive in wanting to spend more time with him. He'd move the family to another state because he has the type of job where the company has various cities available for employees. One thing I think is crazy. If I were in his wife's shoes, I'd demand to look at his phone more often. In this day and age, a cheater is going to have so many text messages. There's no way you can have a secret romance without a lot of texting. If my wife cheated once I'd demand the right to grab my wife's phone at any time and look for texts from lovers.

I realize as a Hillary-hater I'm kind of biased against her no matter what. But to the Hillary supporters I have a serious comment/question I'd love for you to answer. I listened to her today and want to know how you can stand listening to her SCREAM all her cliches. She gets to the mic and screams way too loudly and just utters cliche after cliche. Why is that working for you? Do you want her because she's the best of a weak crop or do you actually believe in Hillary?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 06:03 AM) When you think about it, Sanders has become a one-man version of Occupy Wall Street. It's forcing Hillary to tack to the left because her pragmatic/realistic/moderate/progressive side isn't going to motivate anyone, no matter how many times she mentions the Children's Legal Defense fund, CHIP, the fight over Hillary Care, etc. The Clintons made so much of the fact they were supposedly broke when they left the White House (that was quickly remedied by book deals)...but I don't feel many young people get a sense that Hillary cares about poor people. From reading about all the deals and sources of money for the Clinton Foundation (they can locate it in Harlem, but their hearts are in Westchester), the picture of what they've actually accomplished for all the millions of dollars "invested" gets murkier and murkier. Heck, the left wing of the Democratic party doesn't 100% believe the Obamas really care about the issues Sanders is directly taking on, either. Only Bill had that seemingly magical ability to connect to people and no matter how earnestly she endeavors, it's just lacking in her...that genuineness or authenticity, it's clear she's always going to be arguing the Presidency is something she has earned and has the right to but she doesn't know how to win it or exactly why. It's that tone-deafness which already destroyed Jeb Bush. But unlike Bush, Hillary has the media in her hip pocket. The key for her is they WANT her to win. So that means a lot and will assure her the Presidency likely in a landslide.

Basically the coin toss story is runresolved. This new story makes absolutely no sense at all. It's unreadable.

How can they hold the Olympics? Isn't this a recipe for disaster?

Hillary "won" and we're hearing nothing about the 6-for-6 coin flips. Hilarious. If Bernie had won there's be coin flip mocking going on and investigations. It's her turn to be president for 8 years, folks and there's nothing anybody can do about it. Hope you Hillary backers realize you're setting it up so nicely on a tee for Chelsea to succeed mom. I don't understand why our country wants the Clintons so badly. Tell me I'm wrong about the coin toss scandal. Six for six? Sure.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 2, 2016 -> 07:30 PM) If you read the new testament, one thing that jumps out at me is that Christ himself didn't pester people to convert. He went in, preached the word, and then left. No extra guilt. No chasing people around. Either you hear the holy spirit or you didn't. He even acknowledged that some would be deaf to the word of God. How do people who call themselves Christians not see this? Great post. I don't live near my siblings, etc., but when they ask me over holidays if I still go to church, I just say yes and never expand on it. Not going to be a preacher type guy to turn them off. They've never asked me any questions about why I believe or anything so I don't try to get them to convert even though I think it would help my sister. I'm not gonna go there because people don't want to hear it and I don't want to be "that pushy relative."

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 2, 2016 -> 07:28 AM) https://www.yahoo.com/politics/coin-flip-io...-044156528.html Clinton apparently won three coin flips that pushed the election in her favor by just 4 out of 1,396 total. Plus, O'Malley ended up with 8 that probably would have gone to Sanders, arguably. There are rumors she "magically" won all six state-wide coin flips, overall. The odds of that happening are just 1 in 64 or 1.6%. Not the way she wanted to kick off the campaign. This is just absurd, beyond belief. They want us to believe Hillary won all six coin flips. I mean I've heard of scandal, but this is scandal. Hopefully public reaction will make it worse than if Hillary and Bernie Sanders split the flips 3-3. I mean 6-0 Hillary on the coin flips?? Cmon America. Cmon Iowa. Fight a fair fight. Sanders got hosed. The DesMoines newspaper better be a watchdog on this one and get to the bottom of Hillary's domination of coin flips.

This is scary about Bernie's Socialism. I don't like Hillary, but Bernie may change the whole system. http://video.foxnews.com/v/4732696573001/g...g#sp=show-clips

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) I miss the old days when the kids were left out of things, both by the media and by the politicians. I agree but I will say this: Obama's two daughters have not been THAT visible the last eight years. You may disagree with me but I think the media handled the daughters well. Yes they've been on TV some, but they haven't grown up on TV by any means.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 12:44 AM) She's got an 80%+ favorable rating on dems. Assume a 50/50 split of dems/republican. 80% x 50%= 40% Math don't lie. ? If 80 percent of Dems love her, why were we getting stories recently that Hillary and Bernie were neck and neck in Iowa? I get the feeling it's going to be a Hillary runaway and Bernie will be close to dropping out after NH.

Even Hillary loves have to admit this is pretty funny. We enter the first caucus with Hillary totally getting positive press. The NY Times editorial. The puff piece on how everyone loves Bill Clinton surfacing today. The media is so predictable. Right after the caucus for a few days there will be negative stories on the email or something else, then as we creep close to New Hampshire ... boom there will be more positive fluff on Hillary. I have no idea why the media want Democratic presidents so badly, but they do.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Feb 1, 2016 -> 04:33 AM) Gotta be tough to be little kids of candidates running for president. I sincerely feel bad for them. Me too. I wish that "story" would get ignored. The 7 year old wasn't in the mood for some kind of photo op hug. Not Ted's fault. Not the kid's fault. Move on, media, or if it's not media, Twitter users.

His is a weird story. After being so durable all those years, does his arm hurt badly? Is it falling off so to speak?? He was great at the start of last season and pretty effective until the end when he basically stopped pitching. If his arm isn't a mess Sox should sign him for 2 million plus a few incentives. Even though we're stock full of lefties it certainly wouldn't hurt to give him a chance considering all the hacks we've used as our fifth starter in recent years.
