eye, you have to admit that basically, when someone posts their two cents worth, it was like flies migrating to poopy to refute and post 85 "one-upsmanship" links as to why the other guy is WRONG. It's just better to have one thread of pissing contests for a while instead of a whole forum of it.

I feel like snapping on people. But that just ain't right. It's time for a soxtalk vacation.

Yes, there will always be dissention. But there is a certain stigma - there can't be two sides to any story, it's MY understanding and YOUR understanding, and there's no middle ground or independant thinking anymore. It's the spoonfed blogged society - and then digging in to defend a stance, right or wrong. It starts with our President, and works through our representatives in Congress, and goes all the way down to the local levels of government, and then consequentially all the way down to us stupid fools on a baseball message board.

It's no wonder our country is so divided. This thread is a perfect example.

At the same time?

Actually, in all seriousness, there will have to be some disclaimers put up on here. I'll get there in the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, don't screw each other over, because soxtalk.com is in no way liable for ANYTHING in this forum, the Swapmeet. Kap

Zeta, Eta and Theta ... bring 'em on.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 05:06 PM) Of course, that number 10,000 is actually half of the military's last estimate of the total number of constantly active insurgents in Iraq, and that estimate was made nearly a year ago...and that doesn't include those many folks who give aid to the insurgents or who support their actions or who are willing to endorse violence against the Americans to get them to leave (like the Iraqi government for example.) Of course he's wrong... because he doesn't support your views, among other reasons. And if it's 10,000 or 20,000, it's 20,000 vs. 27 million people. The point remains the same. The nitpicking is amazing and I'm done with all this for a while.

Lieberman gets it.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) I mean reduced to this in terms of what it means to be The Rolling Stones. Years and years ago, they'd have scoffed at doing something like a football halftime show. Going to see the Stones many years ago was an event of the so-called counter-culture. Now they're playing the Superbowl. It's just kinda weird. But then, I've always been kinda stuck in the past. Ah. Gotcha.

QUOTE(BigEdWalsh @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) I find this weird and kinda sad that the Rolling Stones have been reduced to this. I guess I'm just too old. Could you imagine the Rolling Stones doing this in 1969. What's next? The Copa? What are they gonna perform? Street Fighting Man...Gimme Shelter? REDUCED to this? It's only the biggest stage on the planet in terms of viewership.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) No, I found objectionable Kap's post (which was "serious" except maybe the part about Al Gore, which sounded pretty mocking) and Nuke's reply. Initially I was going to put something in my post about how really only one person on this board could make any judgements about a grieving parent--but I figured why make it personal to you? The Al Gore line was sarcastic. That should have been green. But the rest, isn't. It's both sides of the fence. And I didn't make that very clear.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) I'm not laughing. My point was serious. She lost her family, her own son, over everything that's wrong right now. Or more specifically, POLITICAL GAIN. As Soxy said, it's repulsive. I'm just not making my points very well the last couple of days, obviously.

Um, so this is after Delta? So... what's Flaxx going to do for this one?

I'm not laughing. My point was serious. She lost her family, her own son, over everything that's wrong right now.

Come on, guys. She represents fighting a president with failed policies, a failed war, a failed domestic agenda, a thief (don't forget, it should be president Gore), and everything abysmal going on in our country. She lost her son, for crying out loud, for NOTHING, all over a bunch of lies. She deserves more respect then this.

I heard this when he was first named.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Those really aren't nearly as big as was rumored. This could be a very good thing for us. I thought the same thing.

Oh and one more point. I wasn't trying to diminish anyone innocent getting killed. Thought I'd clear THAT one up.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 03:05 AM) IM me at ChiSox7546 when you get a chance If you got your issue solved, that's cool, otherwise PM me and I can help you out.

It's nice to see that my point totally got missed. I guess I can't make the point because I'm clearly wrong in either how I said it or how it came across. Nevermind. I am just a sorry f***up who doesn't understand anything. I obviously just don't understand that my country(EDIT)'s leadership(/EDIT) is f***ing me sideways, backwards, upside down, forwards and any other way that it can. I'm sorry I'm so f***ing ignorant and misguided. No green, no :rolly.

Indeed. The best part of the paper is after all the data is collected and all you have to do is put it together. It's horrible 1) when starting and you have no idea what you're going to do and 2) when you're in the middle of collecting data. Ugh. That's the worst. On a side note, I just got my syllabus for my "intermester" class. I get to put together a "marketing plan" for a company. That sounds like fun.

The *TRUTH* will be revealed. Stay tuned. :rolly

QUOTE(Soxy @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 09:05 PM) I will finish collecting data for my master's next week (6 freaking experiments, yikes)! Then just gotta do some stats and, HELL YES, I will write it up over Christmas. Hahaha, by the end of this school year I'll FINALLY be Master Soxy. . . Master Soxy. OOOhhh la la... has a certain ring to it. Congrats, Soxy!
