god, just look at the thread titles in the sox and roll boards. those were the days...

Well yes, that's what I was getting at. But regardless, how many countries have you heard of that are led by a governor?

But you're not a country. To be a country you'd have to be autonomous, but you're not. I guess its just the fact that you can't vote in U.S. matters that separates you.

http://welcome.topuertorico.org/government.shtml President: George Bush Meaning, the US owns Puerto Rico. Commonwealth, yes. Massachusetts is also a commonwealth. I never said Puerto Rico was a state. But I wouldn't consider it a country either. "Puerto Rico is a self-governing commonwealth in association with the United States."

So isn't Massachusetts. But you don't see us sending our own team. George Bush is the president of Puerto Rico too. It's not really a separate thing.

Why does Puerto Rico compete as its own country in the olympics anyway? Don't we own it? Isn't that like Nebraska or Georgia taking its own team to the games?

USC is way too hyped up. They won't make it to the title game.

I could totally beat him in a race.

under, more like 0 considering he's a little b**** who will run out of bounds rather than avoid contact (kills me to say that too, he's a nole). and there is no freakin way he's running a 4.38. no way, no how.

take a number.

That was ten years ago. Larry Bird is not walking through that door, Michael Jordan is not walking through that door etc. In past years the US could get by on pure talent without having played together. That Dream Team was something never seen before and something we'll never see again. Now foreign teams have the edge because of preparation time, however I still believe that we have the best basketball players in the world. The team should have been assembled better. We all know that. My friend made a great observation the other day while watching the game against Lithuania (I think). International basketball is like watching people play NBA jam. The 3 point line is absurdly close, so everything is either a dunk or a 3. We don't have any real gunners on this USA squad, and we paid for it.

alright genius, how long do these international teams play together? years. how long has this USA team played together? a couple months maybe. listen, the united states still has the best athletes in.the.world. you have that team practice and play together for as long as argentina and lithuania and all those teams have, and they'll coast.

haha, you babelfished it too. i was trying to save us from further embarassment, but what they gave me didn't make sense. maybe something like "i give you my love for all of my life" i dunno im done with it.

it's italian; amor means love, vita means life im pretty sure. go from there.

it means "i will miss whitesoxin' the least"

obviously it matters to someone, if people are claiming that he was unfairly de-admin'ed. i am just trying to clear it up and you are muddling it up again. you claim to be joking and yet you keep jabbing.

jesus christ, stop treating this like a f***ing conspiracy theory.

Listen, and listen good this time, because listening seems to be a problem that people are having. This is not about dyslexia, or spelling errors or evil misquoting games. This is about making inflammatory statements, and having people call you out on them. It's about subsequently editing all involved posts to erase any evidence of the inflammatory statements and then lying and saying you didnt do anything, and that the conversations never took place.

I only said what he did because everyone was acting like he was just the unpopular guy who got pushed out. I had nothing against him, in fact I defended him just the other day, but when people tell me he did that, and they say they have proof then I agree that he can't be trusted with admin powers for the good of the site. If the posters dont trust the people who run the boards then this place isnt worth crap.

haha, nice.

damn you were on that quick.

zah

For those of you who didnt get it the first time, he misused his admin powers by editing his and other people's posts and then lying about it. It was more than a personality clash. I had nothing to do with the decision to de-admin him, but when I was told what he did I agreed with it. You just can't have people doing that.

system is all effed up. they're not shut off, it's just not working.

calm down What? The guy lives in Texas. I'm sure he is gonna have some tacos. I love nachos. Can't get enough of em! don't be coy with me. this is the kind of stuff that started sunday's disaster.
