QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 11:40 AM) From the mod POV, watch it with the personal attacks. Secondly -- it was the point of view that dismissed any arguments made by the anti DP side with the ever so cliche "Well, he just wants to give candy to terrorists!" crap. Ok. From the poster point of view if you dont want to get attacked personally then dont provoke me by calling me out when I didn't even have a hand in this debate. Secondly, The "you just want to give candy to terrorists" statement can be morphed and made relevant here by simply removing terrorists and replacing it with a scumbag group of your choosing ( murderers, rapists, thieves, drug pushers......etc....etc...).

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 11:23 AM) Here I was thinking that prison scandals, the usage of psychological and physical torture, shipping off detainees to countries where torture is legal, thumbing our noses at the Nuremburg Tribunals and the rule of law (i.e. habeas corpus, due process, Geneva Convention etc.), starting a war based on questionable intelligence as a tactical pivot to control Middle Eastern oil supplies, secret prisons and warrantless wiretapping might cause some countries to have a few second thoughts of working with us. Most of your "points" can be chalked up to this:: The part about starting a war to "control middle eastern oil supplies" is more like this:: . If the intent of starting a war was to control middle eastern oil we would have invaded Saudi Arabia ............. or .............. Nigeria...........or.............Venezuela..........or Angola.............or why bother leaving the continent. We could invade and sack Canada as we import more oil from them than anyone else. Some of the stuff you say is just off-the-charts insane.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 10:38 AM) Yeah Nuke, you sure nailed me. When you get owned by the facts, slander the person who said them with lame insults. It's not an effective modus operandi. /chalks up my debate win LOL! Owned by what facts? On what point? Did I make any points at all in this thread at all for you to "own" me on? I don't recall even posting in this thread until I saw the hippie comment and got a chuckle by adding on to it. If I did make an argument that you "owned" me on please refresh my memory. BTW.........If you want me to slander you I'll be more than happy to do it. Dumbass.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 09:07 AM) Who made you the grammar police? Stop it. It's condescending bulls***. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Also maybe he should have his own ducks in a row before he goes on about someone else's punctuation.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 08:54 AM) If I can sit through the Rugrats movie with my daughter and not fall asleep I'm sure I can make it through this. Damn. You got more guts than I do. Last time I tried to watch one of those cartoon movies with my girlfriend and her daughter I was gone inside of 15 minutes.........and I just polished off a big bottle of pop right beforehand.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 08:50 AM) Oh come on. I didn't even vote for him in 2000. I voted for your boy (biggest mistake in my life). I'm not going to see it because he is in it. I am very interested in the material. I understand you're interested in the material but that monotone of his is gonna make it hard to stay awake. I give you 20 minutes before you're passed out and drooling on yourself.

QUOTE(Cknolls @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 08:42 AM) KUMBAYA MY LORD KUMBAYA You forgot the flowers and candy! We can't have a good hippie love fest without the flowers and candy dammit!!!! Bring some ganja while you're at it. Gotta get high.....er i mean use it for medicinal purposes. They'd probably invite some terrorist.....er........i mean oppressed Muslim victim of the evil United States and its aggression.....to speak to them too.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 03:26 PM) Personally, I think he's got the right to put whatever he wants in his system in the safety of his own home and is responsible in doing it knowing the risks and benefits of it and he isn't harming anyone else. Professionally, it wouldn't be the best for him to do since he has taken such a hardline stance against drugs and is notorious for declaring how forceful we need to be on drugs. It's just funny to see him declaring that addicts are just weak people who need to be thrown in jail -- and now he's a pain pill addict with a limp cock. But I doubt jail is going to help him. No non-violent drug offender comes out of jail wanting to do less drugs. Rush Limbaugh is a hypocritical idiot. There, I said it. I tried really HARD to defend him when he had his bout with pain killers but enough is enough. He needs the book thrown at him.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 29, 2006 -> 08:35 AM) So has anyone seen this movie yet? I plan on seeing it over the weekend. You better stop by the drugstore and get yourself the econo-size bottle of NO-DOZ. You're gonna need it.

QUOTE(minors @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) I have never said anything about looking for the leaks. All I said is who ever disclosed this stuff should be puinshed ..........right alongside those who disseminated it.

Thats what I get for opening my big mouth. The Brewers pen s***s on itself and gives up a 5 spot to the Flubbs in the 8th to give them the lead. Brewers still have 1 more chance to pull ut out though.

Personally I think that every state should be cut up into equally sized squares. This funny business that both sides are involved in regarding redistricting is just awful.

LOLzers again. Flubbs losing 3-1 bottom 8th now. Get ready for it to be 21 games under 500.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) Prediction: Tigers will also win Friday 5-0, Saturday 6-2, and Sunday 9-1 against Pittsburgh. No reason to think they wont. At least we get to beat up on the Flubbs during the same time frame.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 03:24 PM) Holy hell, Roto Authority blows. The guy who write this, whatever the hell it is, even admitted he's a cub fan. That should provide all you need to know right there and tell you to stop reading.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 12:38 PM) First, it is taken down, not tooken. Second, the film is not banned in America. If it was banned then why do they have a website (www.loosechange911.com), a blogspot account and availability for Americans to download the film? See, Google searches are your friends. That way, you don't get stuck with bunk materials like "OMG LOOOOOSE CHANG3 WAS BANNED IN TEH USA!!!1!!!1!1!!111!" LMFAO!!! LCR This post is pure gold. GOLD!!!!!

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 01:42 PM) I'm just stymied by the fact that Bush, even in 2001, came out and gave press conferences telling everybody we were tracking terrorist finances and actually said to financial institutions that you're either with us or the terrorists. I'm having trouble mustering up the outrage for what the NYT printed, especially since the program was pretty widely known not just through the fact that it had been used for years against drug cartels...but moreso because of the administration press conferences discussing that it was a tool in our arsenal. Bah. You have trouble mustering outrage for anything terrorists or those who support them are involved in.

QUOTE(illinilaw08 @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 11:55 PM) Actually, for me there is a prize. If the Sox finish 20 games better than the Cubs, I win a bet with a friend. And yes, tonight's Cubs loss was hyseterical. Good times, good times. I'd like to meet that friend of yours. Anyone naive enough to think he could win such a bet would surely buy this bridge in Brooklyn that Im selling.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 11:41 PM) This city is slowly changing, just sit back and enjoy the ride. Don't misunderstand, I'm not really interested in whether the casual fans who can be swayed one way or the other like us or the Flubbs. My concern is with winning another championship. There is no prize for being X games better than that other team.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 11:44 PM) First, I take offense to that comment. Their problem is pitching, they lost a lot of key cogs from that staff last year including: Millwood, Elarton(not huge here), Riske, Rhodes, Howry. Their bullpen was such a huge part of their success last year and when you lose three of your better bullpen arms and your ace..you're going to have some issues. Deal with it. I didn't know they took such a staggering blow to their staff. I had a bit of tunnel vision following the Sox and Tigers so far this year.

QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 11:08 PM) I think he said that he wanted to leave his kids enough money so they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing. And that's how it should be. Good for him.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 11:35 PM) the sox have a chance to finish an absurd 40 games better than the cubs. That would be completely insane... Insane as that is, unless we repeat this year it means absolutely nothing. QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 11:20 PM) Dusty is still waiting for his horses Do you post on Northsidebaseball? Im just curious because I saw references to Dusty and his horses all over the place there this evening.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 11:28 PM) The Indians still blow. What the hell happened to them anyway? Everybody and their brother was expecting them to challenge for the division this year and they fell flat on their ass. Even Minnesota has gotten it together and is trying to make a move. What is Cleveland's problem?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 25, 2006 -> 09:53 PM) Define "a lot". Damn, there's like 4 posters here who say over and over again that the Tigers will fade and all that jazz, that's a GREAT minority. The "stop hating on us" s*** is getting old. If there's really anyone on here who thinks the Tigers will disappear by the end of the year then they're just completely delusional and ignoring the numbers which prove overwhelmingly that the Tigers will not be going anywhere. If you asked me about the Tigers chances of sticking a month ago I would say "They are gonna fade like a cheap sweater". Now, however I dont think that at all. Much as it pains me to admit it, they have a pretty kickass team over there. It's gonna be a really entertaining race this season to be sure and I wouldn't be shocked at all to see these 2 teams face off in the ALCS.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) You certainly get pretty excited when we beat, in your words -- Kansas s***ty. The overall excution was horrid after the first inning. When you get 15 hits and score only 4 runs, you're playing Cubs-like baseball. Buehrle was Buehrle. The 'pen continues to sparkle. Imagine if Politte comes back strong. You do have me there.
