QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 10:25 PM) He is LITERALLY one-third of the branches of the federal government. If I'm remembering my civics right, that means that this one guy has always had the power to veto legislation passed by the majority of 535 people in the chamber below him. At what point in our nation's history did the Office of the Presidency NOT dictate policy at every level of the federal government? and while you ae bringing up some nice info, the president does not dictate policy... he recommends it and congress passes on it.. yeah the president can veto it and then it goes back to congress. check and balance process. but the main point is, the person who is president does not need to know everything b/c they will not know it. the president have people to will brief the president on anything and everything..... letting him to become the best inform person on that subject. as i said it is virtually impossible to know all things and how it will affect the county. now the president may have some pet subject that the president may want to take priority .... that is another subject. now going back to the org statement that started all this. the gambling question or was it the fantasy football question was a bad one. IMHO

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 30, 2015 -> 02:50 AM) I'm not suggesting that the President NEVER had any power. Obviously he did/does, it's right there in the Constitution. However, the executive has grown immensely over the years. War time powers, executive privilege, decisions on when to enforce or when not to enforce laws, etc. And my main gripe is really the last 25 years or so with the rise in cable news. Every decision seems to begin and end with a speech by the President. i am with you on most, except for this post. do you really think the president has more power???? i think it is the opposite and congress, if united can lock down the government.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 11:56 PM) Well there is a reason why we have an electoral vote and not a popular vote, and that is because some of our founding fathers didnt trust regular people to make informed decisions. The only reason I brought it up is because a lot of people equate Cuban immigrants with Latin American immigrants, when its not the same. Cuban's have a special rule that if they get to the US they are automatically granted residence in the US. It's commonly referred to as "wet foot, dry foot". If they are caught at sea they are sent back to Cuba, if they make it to the US, they get to stay. Prior to 1995 if they were caught at sea they were still brought to the US. Thus a Cuban who enters the US is never an "illegal immigrant." This is completely different than if a Mexican immigrant crosses the border. Many illegal immigrants (especially in Florida) harbor deep resentment to Cuban's because Cuban immigrants never have to worry about being considered "illegal". But this will never be discussed at any debate because no one really cares about facts or the hypocritical nature of the US immigration policy, nor the fact that immigration restriction goes against basic market capitalism. Its really why all of this is meaningless because our country has been reduced to catch phrases and memes. you make an excellent point esp in the bold sentence. now i will answer one part, b/c i am not qualified to answer all. the founding father also made what is called checks and balances. so again one person or group can't pass or make a law that is detriment to the society of the, then the society of americans.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 08:53 PM) Ok...so I'm going to guess most people in the country, immigrants included, would not know this. Maybe I was born here but I've never thought of it nor have I ever even heard of the 1966 Cuban adjustment act so maybe I'm just ignorant but I feel this whole post is a giant stretch given how uninformed the typical voting public (& evidently me as well) are. you make a excellent point. it isn't that your ignorant on it, there are so many changes that has happen in this last century that many do not know. here is the perfect example ..... women rights and vote. now many has said they thought it was in the late 60's early 70's.... but it wasn't it was in 1919-1920. the subject must mean something to the individual.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 08:44 PM) But that isnt the reality. Its important to know what the President thinks because he can do things like "veto" legislation, he can tell the AG how to enforce policy, etc. It would be like saying asking about marijuana legalization is a stupid question because it should be up the legislature. And really, isnt the more terrifying part that the idea of limited federal govt is pretty much dead? And really thats a huge problem. It seems no one even cares about state/federal rights, unless its in their favor. you got a point, i think people in general really don't know a lot of about the difference. i have a friend who teaches advance hs Social Studies and History, he told me that a majority of his students failed the 1 test he gave to gage their common educational knowledge. the point is, as someone earlier posted, these debates are for show.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 08:13 PM) Congressional committees have been formed to look into whether daily fantasy sites should continue to be allowed, or if they should be categorized as gambling. The FBI and the Justice Department are doing their own investigations. Because they are a multi-billion dollar industry that is under scrutiny by Washington, the issue is relevant to a Presidential debate. Jeb Bush turned the question into a joke by talking about his 7-0 fantasy football team - entirely different than the DFS issue and therefore not relevant to the question. Then Christie exploded about how ISIS and Al-Qaida are more important than fantasy football (again, ignoring the issues with DFS sites which is what the question specifically referenced) and everybody said, "what a dumb question!" hey many thanks for the explanation and all. it is appreciated. but i wish it was frame or ask in a better way. to really hit the subject without interpretion. for me and my opinion, remember it is me. this goes to prove the reasoning of individual sound box. lets see how these candidates stand without having help from a answer from a previous individual.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 08:11 PM) What's there to complain about? '14 we started off really hot. Last year really cold. We don't even have a good group of hitters to begin with. I'm done b****ing about a hitting coach until we get some actual hitters in this lineup. i'll second this.

if i remember correctly, when bill wirtz passed, the hawks were really not doing well. actually if i remember correctly the nhl league wasn't doing well. the main point to remember is, am i remembering correctly. with that disclaimer, there was a short snippet of how the hawks needs to rebound, partly b/c of the hawks being a legend, partly b/c of the original six and b/c of the loyalty of the fans. well the history and the results are evident of the blackhawks resurgence as well as the league and yea the individual team. that is why i was surprise at the hawks being #2.... but i love the fact that other teams are #1.... it is spreading the wealth and excitement of what is hockey.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 06:51 PM) Why is the legal definition of a multibillion dollar gambling business a joke? They just found out that employees of these companies are basically using insider information to game the system, this is not a joke. You want to know why Christie wants it to be thought of as a joke? Because of the gambling in his state. well you may have a point. but unless Christie states it in ref to legalize gambling or anything like that, then i don't see it being a valid question. i am not reading into any questions except for what is exactly asked. it is just me.

or maybe he just thought it was a stupid question for a presidential forum.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 05:17 PM) He'll be fine. Still has an OPS near 800 so far in the fall even with a low BA. If he can still hit for power, than he'll be fine. i hope he does, i just reread about his PED and suspension and i see shades of Flowers loosing his batting avg after. i hope i am wrong.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 05:37 PM) I think it is overall a stronger group than years previous, but different. Years before, you'd get a couple really big prospects, a couple in the middle, then org guys. This year there is less high end talent, but zero org guys. Peter Tago is the pitcher to watch more than any - and he has had a good year overall. then it is my expectations and my being 100% gun ho on the minors system. still i still like to read all i can on sox prospects. hell yaah

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) I think you meant 2B Jake Peter, who played one game at third, two in the outfield, and three at a customary second base. My guess would be the Sox are seeing if he could be a super utility guy moving forward. dang it, i meant to write Peter's. i was typing fast to get back to the rep post. many thanks for all who help.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 04:44 PM) Eh, I'll actually disagree, to a point. There is theater involved of course. But my personal view is that the debates are much less theater than almost everything else that goes on during campaigns. Why? Because, whether questions are good or bad, it allows us to see the candidates think on their feet. Sure some of what the say is pre-prepped - but some isn't, where as stump speeches and the like are 100% pre-cooked. I like the debates. Not everything about them, but more so than almost any other aspect of their campaigns. The only exception, I think, is written policy statements from the candidates - those are my fave. Debates are a close second. and that is the beauty of this forum to agree to disagree and with a reason.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) The Blackhawks were picked as the #2 best fan base by Forbes, trailing the Pittsburgh Penguins? Really? http://www3.forbes.com/business/the-nhls-best-fans/10/ rally, i would have thought they would be #1....

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) What are you talking about Engel being moved to 3rd base? oops thanks for catching my mistake .... wrong plaer. it was

yah another A's coach.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 04:15 PM) Mostly because people want theater anymore. No one wants intelligent discussion, and respectful debate. By and large the general public consumes news somewhere between a meme and tweet of length. and you make a good point on peoples POV. we are going to elect a leader for this country..... people should demand more from their leaders.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 02:59 PM) Bummed watching the Royals win games in the World Series? Missing Sox baseball? Check out how several top Sox prospects are doing in the Arizona Fall League and abroad in our first offseason recap. http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2015/...-strong-in-afl/ i really like the update. many thanks for your hard work ... now, i don't know, but for me, it appears as this yr group of AFL players the sox sent are not a good group. now i am surprise in a couple of players.... Engel is really coming into his own, esp since June and July.... however being moved to 3b..... i hope he develops more power. Delmonico - i have or starting to loose faith in him. i really had high hopes. Pete - i like to see more of him next yr. he may be somebody to watch. pitching beside Brennan and Leyer, i just don't know. again many thanks to all who assemble this info.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 29, 2015 -> 03:15 PM) I only got to watch the first half, will watch the second half tonight. I only saw two questions that involved asking one candidate about another - seems like a reasonable level to me. What they did do - which is good and bad - is they called out candidates on some problems in their policy positions, statements or history. Well guess what? They should do that. Now a couple of them were over the top, granted. But this is where the GOP shows badly, for the most part. They come off as whiners. Cruz gets asked a question right in his wheelhouse, elects instead to go on a temper tantrum, then is shocked when he doesn't get to answer the question because he ran out of time. Dude is a jackass. Also, media bias exists - but this isn't the way to illustrate it. There have been three debates, and the "soft" one far and away was CNN (who lean left a bit, though not quite to MSNBC levels). FOX (who are of course heavily right-leaning) and CNBC (who are business-focused) were the "tough" ones. Their argument is without merit, in this case. In the credit where credit is due department - Jeb Bush, Donald Trump and sort of Ben Carson each at least partially answered the opening question. The other 7 didn't even bother to try. you made a great point. now i want to add with my thoughts, these debates are useless. yeah i mean really useless. it gives the other candidates time to come up with a an answer but using other comments. i want these candidates to be cross examine. hard questions and not letting them off the hook. these candidates will be running the country and i am tired of these cookie cutters types of personalities. they should also be in a sound proof box and only hear their question and answer. this if for both parties. i really want a leader who can fix what the US have and i want to know how they will do it.
