no way man... Getting ready to go to the ballpark in Arlington. Go Rangers! Seriously, I don't care who wins. Just wanting to get out to the park since I haven't been all year. It's an ESPN game and the only one on tonight so wave to the tv for us.

He wasn't in the cockpit, he was on the flight.

Believe me, that happens WAAAAAAAAAAAAY more then you'd like to know - after flying jumpseat for forever on flights, you learn things like this.

OMG! You're WRONG?!?! Can I just cut and paste that damn thing through this whole site?

I agree with that 100%

In this time of peace and prosperity here on soxtalk, I can only think of the bumpersticker: MEAN PEOPLE SUCK.

Friendly? You're a schmuck.

At the heart of cdub message was this, and I think it nails it. I am guilty of taking what was said out of contect and when I went and re-read, I agree I was mistaken, Jim. I do think there are a couple of elements, though, that can be interpreted as sort of vengeful that cdub said regarding the trilogy of evil. But again, it's all in context.

we just need a few more religious threads, Jas, and you'd have 20,000,000 hits in a month.

Bingo. That's why RELIGION (Man-made) is NOT what we should be doing things in the name of. That's the entire point. So to rip folks for "hyretical" things of today's world and tell them they have no right to speak, is a little far fetched when we are all descendants of these so called fanaticals. I only hope we are a little smarter then they were because they showed us what's wrong. IMO, mental anguish is just as bad as the physical abuses the "crusaders" put people through - and that's what happens now moreso then physical torture. I think even FSJ alluded to it when he implies "recovering spiritual person" - not trying to put words in your mouth - but it would seem you wanted off the circus train called religion, not faith itself. And I agree with you if that is what you were trying to say.

Then all the porn charges would be out there for everyone to see...

That's pretty funny, now you have Ang giving you all the play by play?!? You lead such a sad existence...

or maybe his co-desk workers...

I don't think anyone ever said anything about not knowing our history and where we came from. I would be willing to bet that most of our ancestors in this country participated in one of these "so called hyretical" events. So are we all condemned for it? No, because we as our own person can learn from the past. So why can't we ALL learn from it? Why are we all now not authorities to speak on anything now? That's when I tend to start disagreeing with cdub as well... because it's at those times that it seems like there can be differing views on something and we all can be right in their own way... depending on interpretation. 'Cuse me while I go sit on the toilet to become educated...

ya in another 2 days you will have caught Jas at your pace of posting, you slacker.

This thread has more sidetracks and turns then most others around here. PA, I nowhere felt anyone was mocking you. This is very interesting because this qtr at our church we are discussing this at the base of our class. The cultish reference that you said FSJ, interesting because that is exactly how our preacher feels, and he was persectuted by the "church" for saying in front of elders, etc, that we should question EVERYTHING as a Christian because if we truely believe the Bible is the authority then we have nothing to be scared of. But yet... most folks in a "church" today are scared to question HOW we do things, ie worship, communion, what we talk about, how we pray, etc. If you can't talk about these things because they are "taboo", then yes, today's churches border on cults because now, you've gone completely away from the bible and the man made church with its man made customs that HAVE to be followed really are cultish in their ways. The bottom line of all the teachings of Christ and his apostles, it seems to me, is not making everything into some tradition and if the word of God is truely the authority, then no matter how one chooses to do it, be it writing, be it worshiping, be it conversing and/or converting folks in a "dying world" as some people put it, there's many ways to reach people to open their eyes to the so-called truth. It's up to each individual person to choose whether or not to accept what the bible says to be true. The holy spirit is here to help us should we choose to use it. We cannot do this alone, it takes a willing person, the holy spirit, God, and us, to really believe what we read in the bible for the "Great Commission" to happen IMO. I better get to work and quit rambling!

I think he got through to THAT team in 00 and into 01 but his message just started not getting through to this group of guys. No more, no less. It's kind of like when you want to watch something a little different on tv you just change the channel and all of a sudden you get the message.

That's exactly my point. I have an idea. Let me write the Democratic platform for 2004. Bush says "black". Dem platform says "white" Bush says "lower taxes" Dem platform says "adjust unfair tax cuts" (read: raise taxes) You get the idea. When are the Dems going to learn, to win you have to run for SOMETHING besides against what the other side says. That will be the downfall of John Kerry unless someone gets their head out of their ass (who ever is running the campaign) and talk about real issues and how things are going to get SOLVED besides running around talking about what a crack baby GWB is and how wrong he is on everything. Give me something on how you're going to change things!!!!!!!!!! Oh wait. They won't change. Nevermind.

I bet the rest of the world won't show up to protest our invasion of Iraq. Record gold medal count fo the US!!

This whole thing is just pure bs. They all did crap that was shady back then. Can we please just move on? I'd still like to know what the hell Kerry stands for today? *crickets chirping................................................................*

he changed it to preapproved bidders and now it's back down to 15,000. that's still nuts though. the man just paid for his divorce and then some, eh?

heck it's on tv and everything else. I saw a blurb about it on headline news this morning. hilarious...

I haven't chimed in anywhere, losing is ok. It's the WAY you lose that makes a difference. I'll just leave it at that. I think there's some pretty big holes that are starting to surface, none that can't be fixed, but there are some things that need addressing from what I've seen. Willie is just about the top of my list. That's a hard call, though, because at what point do you give up on a kid? But that top of the line up needs to get the hell on base so the 3-4-5 hitters can do their job the right way. Bullpen has been decent except, opening day, and last night. 2 out of the first 20 games... so if they have 16-17 bad games all year, that is not so bad. But, it seems like the pressure situations eat these guys' lunch, and we all know that if the Sox are fortunate enough to claw their way to the division, pressure is October. We'll see how they learn and respond here as the weather starts heating up. All in all, so far, not a bad April at all...

is it on their popup blocker bar? if it's not i bet it will be soon.
