QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 31, 2006 -> 01:56 PM) Yes, but interestingly, the bill passed with the support of only 1 Republican, despite the fact that this would be about the only method of making it such that CA's electoral votes aren't firmly in the hands of the Democrats every time. Ive been in favor of keeping the electoral system but awarding the electoral vote to whoever wins a particular congressional distict and then the 2 for the states senators goes to whoever gets the majority of votes in that state. That puts the whole nation up for grabs so Republicans can get some votes in Cali and Dems can even knock off a few in places like Texas and Kansas.

Methinks Kennedy had just a LITTLE too much to drink before he said that. It’s a little late for sour grapes.

How many times guys? How many times are you people going to apply rights to a bunch of terrorists who don’t deserve them? The Geneva Convention DOES NOT APPLY to terrorists. Terrorists don’t win when we mistreat them. Terrorists win when people like you guys lose your will to deal with them.

QUOTE(OilCan @ May 29, 2006 -> 06:38 PM) How happy was the trib's sports website happy to see the flubs win? The leadoff story is not about the World Champs, its about the north side minor league team. :banghead I can see that. After all the Flubbs are such losers that when they actually win a game it's a newsworthy event.

Im not so quick to give up on Nelson. Let him have some time with the team and get some work in before passing judgement.

Cockbags managed to win one today with Carrie Wood having a decent outing for once. Get ready to hear Flubby nation go gaga and start s***ting themselves because their savior is back.......for now anyway.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 29, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) Not that it matters, but they have the second best offense, not first. Details..........details.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 28, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) That's impossible. Because Frank's choking on a cupcake, while drinking tea in a dress with sand in his vagina. You laugh but you're probably right.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 29, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) 50 more to go for the HOF. Wouldn't it kick ass if he did it this season? Just saying.

"One of these days, when you've forgotten all about this place and they've forgotten about you and you're living in your own miserable little world Im gonna find you. Im gonna be there and Im gonna kick the s*** out of you. Im gonna knock yer dick in the dirt." That guy was always the authority figure everyone loved to hate. Great actor. You'll be missed. RIP

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 29, 2006 -> 12:32 PM) Im glad you came by DePloderer. Throughout history when America has gone to war the British have stood right by our side. We owe you guys a HUGE debt of gratitude.

QUOTE(Soxy @ May 29, 2006 -> 11:12 AM) I voted yes to legalization, but I think decriminalization is a better option. I think that is the option where the gov't can tax and regulate it. Not sure though. . . Mari-jim-wana's baaaaaaaaaaad mmmmmkay!!! Seriously though, Im in favor of community service and levying fines on recreational users who get busted. It's just too petty an offense in my eye to warrant jail time.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 29, 2006 -> 02:54 PM) A bit premature, aren't we?! Okay, no, now it's over. But you made it before! URIBE HOMERED!! Dont tell me Taz is coming around. Please nobody wake me up. This is WAY too good to be true.

EAT s*** INJUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!! MEN AGAINST f***ING BOYS YET AGAIN!!!!! KONG AND THOME ARE f***ING BEASTS!!!!!! VAZQUEZ WITH A QUALTY START.........FOR ONCE........ f***ING AWESOME GAME ALL AROUND!!!! GIMMIE A HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 29, 2006 -> 04:47 AM) Easy enough to stop it. Train our children to be laborers. Imagine if a couple million Americans every year would say "After college, I'm going to work for Del Monte picking crops." Describe for me how America will raise a generation to pick crops, be bus boys, yard workers, work in a chicken processing plants, etc.? Will they be drop outs? Will we encourage high school kids to set their sights lower? Will we begin paying people $40k a year to mow lawns? Immigrants have been doing these jobs for hundreds of years, now we'll change all that? What you're basically telling me is that you are in favor of importing a permanent under-underclass of people who we can exploit to do our dirty work for us because we're too lazy to do it ourselves. That's all you're telling me with your point of view. When I was growing up, neighborhood kids mowed the lawn, bussed tables at the local restaurant and such. They did it to earn a few extra bucks on the side and to learn the value of a days work before moving on to bigger and better things. Unfortunately, nowadays American kids are spoiled and lazy and would rather plug their eyeballs into a TV screen or computer monitor than get out there and work.

It'll be interesting to see what people say to this one.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ May 28, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) The offense got him a lead, and he didn't give it up. He proved to be a stopper today. LOL! He s*** all over himself .......again......... today and got bailed out by the rest of the team. More I see Garland pitch this season the more I think that last season was a contract year fluke.

Much as I dont want him to have to do it I think maybe a brief stint down there would serve as a wake up call. His defense is good but he really is horrible at the dish.

Once again. The only question is not whether or not we're going to win but by how much. RIP EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 29, 2006 -> 04:07 AM) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I still find it amusing that people think America and Mexico should have the same laws. Why don't we do what is best for America and let Mexico do what is best for Mexico? I really don't think we need to look to Mexico for a solution in this. Mexico is struggling to create a middle class, something that was wiped out in the 1994 with the peso devaluation known as the December Mistake. They have a 40% illiteracy rate. Their country and the US is so different and faces such different struggles. Look at the unemployment rates and underemployment rates between the two countries. Mexico has high unemployment and high underemployment. Thet have a surplus of unskilled labor and a shortage of jobs for semi and skilled workers. The US has low unemployment rates, and a skilled workforce looking for skilled and highly skilled jobs. Further the US economy has a high demand for unskilled labor and a workforce that does not desire those jobs. Doesn't it make sense that the US would want to import that labor and that Mexico would not want additional immigrants when their workforce is already over capacity? Call it hypocricy if you like, but it seems like both countries are acting in their own best interest. I sort of agree with you. Mexico is defenitely acting in its own best interest. Its in their interest to export their poverty problem to the United States. It's in their interest to push as many people across the border as they can because the money they send back is their second greatest revenue source. The U.S. on the other hand, does not act in its own interest. We allow Mexico to export its poverty problem to us. We allow these people to get services they dont deserve. We allow them to cost us billions of dollars a year. We allow them to come here illegally and then start making demands against our government. It's really sickening to me how we allow a s***bag like Vicente Fox and these border jumpers to screw this country over the way they're doing.

QUOTE(IggyD @ May 28, 2006 -> 07:37 PM) Well, you have not set forth any evidence, I never said what was correct and what was not. I only put forth actual video from the news and un-answered questions that any true thinking American has a right and duty to ask. This is supposed to be a government of, by and for the people and our first document of law, (The Constitution) is the rulebook. How can we dare call ourselves the “Land of the Free and the home of the Brave?” when we are not free enough to ask questions for fear of reprisal? Or brave enough to face the truth when it surfaces? I say “My Country, Love it and Fix it!” That’s what we as Patriots are supposed to do! Now you are moving an occurance from here in the States "NORAD" "FAA" and all the Airbases that MUST follow procedure when an event like this happens, to the field of operation where a soldier must do as you describe. My MOS was B16 " Hercules Missile crewman" not a grunt like you. We had to follow PROCEDURE to the letter!!...again you present your argument in an un-intelligent manner and do not address the issues raised you rely on vulgarity to make your feeble and meaningless points only publicly demonstrate ignorance. BTW..here are some of our brothers that feel the same as I. Veterans for 911 Truth Do you want to have a disscussion on the issues or not. Makes no difference to me..... Hercules missile system huh? You just dated yourself there. I see you've been out of the loop for a long time but the Army of the 1950's is nothing like the Army of today. We've come a long way since then and change was DEFENITELY for the better. I think it's really amusing that you accuse me of using vulgarity towards you when I haven't. Not half as amusing, though, as reading your chicken little style rantings about how the evil government is out to get us. Frankly, you're a paranoid fruitcake. Plain and simple. There is no point to trying to engage in a rational discussion with someone like you because you have allowed the wacko, anti-American conspiracy nuts to take control of the remaining 3 or 4 brain cells in your head that alcohol or drugs haven't managed to kill off yet. People like that prey on people like you. They prey on the weak, the ignorant, the easily swayed, the mad at the world, the idiots of the world. I really feel sorry for you because you're just old and bitter and mad at everything and everybody. Reading the drivel you write in your posts ( or more accurately, the nonsense you cut and paste from these wacko websites of yours ) people would think that the government is going around arresting and killing people who dare disagree. Unfortunately for you, that only happens in the fantasy land you live in. Your talk of people not being able to speak out for fear of government reprisals is as asinine as it is untrue ( if there were a shred of truth to what you say you would be in a holding cell somewhere ). There has never been, nor will there ever be, a society where one can voice his opinions as freely as you can here. You can stop looking under the bed and in the closet, cause there are no government boogey men waiting to arrest you. Please do all of Soxtalk a favor and cede the 20 minutes of internet time they give you at the old folks home to someone else. You're just wasting a lot of people's time posting here.

This thread is meant for Soxtalkers to thank servicemembers who have given their lives in defense of this great nation. Please refrain from turning this into a sounding board for b****ing about Bush or Iraq or whatever else comes to mind. You people have the whole filibuster section to post away about whatever your political agenda is. Please do me the favor of staying strictly on topic here. Thanks NUKE
