QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) So ... what exactly should Isreal do? Flowers and candy time. Thats the only way to stop terrorism, haven't you heard? QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 12:13 PM) I believe the only option in this case is an immediate Cease-fire along the currently proposed lines, with a large U.N. force in the area with the goal of disarming Hezbollah. Of course, this has its own problems, specifically the fact that Hezbollah won't want to be disarmed, and the fact that given the manpower demands in Iraq, very few countries actually have soldiers that could be contributed to such a peacekeeping force, and even fewer would be willing to do so, but it's certainly going to be vastly less messy than what Israel is currently doing. Trouble with that is that there HAS been a large U.N. force which has been in place since 1978. Unfortunately they are incapable of doing anything but sitting there. The U.N. is inept, impotent and corrupt. It is HIGHLY unlikely that they could implement any meaningful solution to the problem here. Better to let Isreal finish its business.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 12:41 PM) So, the money that Soros and Streisand give to Lamont's campaign "doesn't matter"? That's absolute crap and you know it. That money does a lot more for his campaign than hundreds of votes from CT Democrats could. Soros and Streisand both contribute a ton of money to left-wing causes. While Lamont is not a left-winger per se, he's a means to unseat a "right-wing" Democrat, which is pretty much the same in their eyes. Soros got his ass handed to him in the last election trying to get Kerry elected. It was VERY satisfying to see him get his ass handed to him........not to metion a 25 million dollar bill.......in a losing effort.

QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 10:47 PM) Perhaps he just got tired of it. perhaps the e-mail has gotten really nasty as of late.

Its certainly doable with 2 months left to play but our pitchers need to have to step it up about 5 times over and the offense would have to stay consistent. When they put a streak of some significance together then I'll get back to you on this one.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) can i eat some of that jello? You're sick dude. LMFAO!!!

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) This was a normal win. I'd still like to see us rack up 15 and beat the everliving crap out of a team. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If there's any team in the AL we can do it against it's this one.

The way Mark's been going and the way the ball is flying out in the heat in KC Im defenitely hunkering down for this one. Hopefully we can outslug them and get another win.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) you gotta tell me when a chat is going on Read PM QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Jose stepped up big tonight. We so needed a strong performance from him, and he delievered. Man on man if Bmac could be more consistent. It's beautiful to watch when he's on. Props to the offense as well. It looks like they're about ready to explode again. God knows we're gonna need it. he said man on man.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 07:46 PM) Your comparison of the Israeli army to al Qaeda and Hezbollah is ridiculous and downright insulting to Jews. While the Israelis have not always "played nice" with their Arab neighbors (though usually in response to an attack), they at least have some regard for human life and have no desire to wipe Muslims off the face of the Earth. In fact, quite a few Muslims live in Israel and, IIRC, some even hold office. Thats his whole M.O. dude. He just loves to try to draw moral equivalency between terrorists and the civilized world when none exist.

QUOTE(Shamrock4Life @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 09:56 PM) and nuke admitted in chat he has a vagina. Dont get me started.

EAT hamburgers ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DONT CARE IF IT'S YOUR HOUSE............YOU AREN'T EVEN FIT TO WASH OUR JOCK STRAPS!!!!!!!! COUNT BATTLES FOR A WIN!!!!!!!!!! CINTRON.....G-LOAD AND CREDE ALL WITH HUGE NIGHTS!!!!!!!!! OUR PLAYOFF RUN STARTS..............NOW GIMMIE A HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GRINDER RULE NUMBER 232: When you get an early lead.............give it right back..........comebacks are more fun anyway.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jul 31, 2006 -> 01:17 PM) A Hezbollah missile went right through the roof on a train station in Haifa in the middle of the morning rush hour, yet strangely there was no internatinoal condemnation of Hezbollah for targeting Israeli cititzens. Havent you heard? These repressed Islamic people are just expressing their rage at the evil Zionist aggressors to their south.

..........some idiots who try to perform Liposuction in their own basement. http://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/07/31/basement...o.ap/index.html It'd be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.

http://money.cnn.com/2006/07/28/news/inter...rtune/index.htm What total hypocrasy by these nations. They screamed to high heaven about how evil and stupid the United States was for not signing on to this stupid treaty and here they are, some of them anyway, with worse environmental records than ours since its signing.

......living with another man. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14082091/ Article didn't say whether they were in a homosexual relationship but its not a really big stretch to say they were. At any rate, this was a massive fraud perpetrated by this guy and he needs to get locked up for a good long time for this one.

Only way I have enough balls to sing karaoke is if FUBAR on Jack or Captain. Barring that there's no way you'll get me near the stage.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 08:38 PM) I have never smoked the stuff so maybe my views are out of step and naive, but it seems to me that most of the problems would be solved by legalizing marijuana. It would stop being a "gateway" and the quality should increase, avoiding the poisons that reportedly have been introduced. We could lower enforcement costs and increase taxes. I don't see a downside besides the usual ones that are also shared by alcohol and cigarettes. Don't de-criminalize the stuff but punish 1st time offenders for posession with a heavy fine. Dealers get tossed in the pokey though. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 08:25 PM) Ever hear of a state called Alaska? Althought all narcotics are not unbanned, possessing a small amount of pot is legal. Like you said, if people really wanted to legalize pot, they would. Unfortunately for you the Supreme Court sided with the federal government in an 8-0 decision upholding federal statuates making marijuana illegal so in spite of that law it is still illegal in Alaska as well as the rest of the country by virtue of federal law.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 07:39 PM) I think we have the arms here so unless we are going to go out and swap starters with someone I really don't see us doing anything. Swapping Vazquez for a bag of balls and putting BMAC in the rotation or going with a 4 man rotation seems a lot more palatable to me than having a guaranteed bad outing every 5th day.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2006 -> 06:26 PM) It's $2 million now, which I think is a very fair level. In 2009, it'll be increased all the way up to $3.5 million, as per current law. And it's also not "Much larger" by any stretch of the imagination, even on the largest estates (and when you get to those sized estates, a significant majority of the income has probably never been taxed anyway, due to it coming in the form of capitol gains.) Here's a chart of how small the impact actually is on almost any reasonably sized estate. Interesting you should mention capital gains as I believe that the current proposal would subject estates to the lower capital gains rate as opposed to any estate tax ( which run as high as 55% ). If an estate is liquidated before being transferred to heirs then, yes, there should be capital gains taxes paid on it but if shares of stock or property or whatever is transferred whole from the owner to their heir then it should not be taxed. If an heir decides to liquidate his/her share of the estate at a later time then they will still be subject to whatever the current capital gains tax rate is at the time.

QUOTE(Cknolls @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) If I were Wal-Mart, I would open a store in every suburb bordering the City. That's what it's going to come to if this ordinance is allowed to stand. Which doesn't hurt the retailers ( they will still get access to the Chicago market by opening up in the burbs. It doesn't take jobs away from Chicago because people can still commute to the inner ring suburbs to work there. It only hurts the short-sighted and union dominated City of Chicago which won't get one nickel of tax revenue from these stores.
