We ALL probably should take a pretty large paycut. This is sort of what I was alluding to in my windbag of an answer to the economic situation with third world countries (why we insist everyone has a democracy (which is BS, we really only need a capitalistic ("free-market") country, not a democracy - HUGE difference)). We pay too much for goods, we all want more money so we can buy what is so expensive, and before you know it, we have this ramp up in prices (even though we have no inflation, that's BS too.) It costs more to buy gas, eat beef, buy a car, then it did a year ago. BUT THERE's NO INFLATION my ass. This is where economists have it all wrong. (zing, ss2k). Anyway, CEO's to the receptionists of lower managers (who make about $27-33k a year) all should probably make less then they do, but everything is hiked up pretty high compared to the rest of the world because the fat cats at the top have to keep making their killings - and yes, it does "trickle-down" to where everyone makes more. The theory works, but it's very disproportional, which is why most average folks have a problem with it. Note: the views expressed are not necessarily what I think, but for discussion points only. There are some things I agree with and some I don't with what I said above.

Heimlich with a peice of cork coming out of their mouths.

You know, free isn't always free... you cheapass. I really laugh when I start reading how people are going to boycott the Sox, boycott this, and boycott that. Before you start boycotting everything, at least know where you're lack of money is not going.

deer tex, u suk. tks for redin', kap. That's hilarious!

now you're thinking you're James Bond, aren't you?

LMAO Not THAT SpyHunter... (I know, I know... y'all know but that's hysterical). BeGood, just get a good antivirus program. Most of em have the spyware software included. SpyHunter works but an antivirus is better overall.

Agreed, because if they're in it at that point with what they have now, they will have alot more flexibility THEN to make moves - especially at that point because the Sox don't have to take on all the salary. A good start means EVERYTHING to this team.

No, I can't pass that damn thing ever again. And no, on the second one. Not making any money and THEN having to pay the IRS is a baaaaaaaad combination. Hehe.

Apparantly about $535?

Agreed. This guy is spending money like it's his or something. Oh wait...

Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong. I need a house.

Seriously, I've been around enough to know that you have all kinds on these boards. I hate to see when things like this happen. It says that someone needs a lot of attention and I hope that they get what they need. It's unfortunate when things turn out like this with an individual (I don't know the history but I can gather what happened). But, I was only commenting about people asking to be banned in Jason's comments, sarcastically. Y'all let a lot of stuff slide, which is cool because 99% of people here take things rather lightly. It does indeed take a lot for y'all to take that step and that's how it sould be.

Yea, tell me about it. I'm going to be REALLY friggin' happy to write my government a big check on April 15. :fyou IRS

*Turning my hat around to the Democratic Line* You bastarts don't pay enough. Dammit gimme your money. This is a stickup by your socialistic-we-want-to-show-you-how-to-stay-married-government"!

BAN ME BAN ME BAN ME... (You told us to ask for it. But hopefully you don't follow through).

Actually they have almost corrected that this year... the "marriage penalty" has closed considerably with last year's tax cuts for most middle class folks. Any more tax advice? Kapkomet, CPA (Certified Pain in the Ass...)

You don't think they've been trying to make moves? Hello. That's where all these rumours keep popping up from. They ARE trying. The market is not exactly conducive to making these huge deals anymore because the players are waaaaaay overpaid. But that's another topic. Bottom line is yes, they're trying. But in a way, KW might be smarter then most folks are admitting because he's not going to do something "just to get rid of Magg's 14million contract". He wants to make sure we get a return on giving up on him. He's got him for now... so use him the best you can... And I don't want to hear that he's gonna walk and we get nothing. TODAY, we need to stand pat if we're gonna get taken. June or so, THEN make a trade to get SOMETHING.

I think I heard this after 1994. Funny, we're here talkin' baseball. It doesn't matter. People go on doing what they like. And you can be pissed off at the management, but until the season starts, you don't know. Go see how the attitude is. I think you can tell a lot based on how everyone acts. I went to Soxfest in 2000 - everyone was great, excited, ready for the season, and hmmm, that attitude carried over. You'll be able to tell a lot about the upcoming season these two days.

NOW "Compassionate Convervatist" GW Bush is going to have the government tell people how to fix their marriages. Yea, this guy is for smaller government. Let me use the graphic I used earlier...

First you have to have digital cable. Beyond that, they are offering it as a half season price now for $109.00 for the rest of the season, which includes rounds one and two of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Being the addict I am, I have to have center ice. It's good stuff for hockey fans.

When I was in school, I was a professional alcohol taste tester. It's funny how I didn't get paid much for it. Now, I'm a financial analyst and I also do website stuff on the side as well. And NOW I get paid to be an alcohol taste tester. When you're old (and have an expense account) you get to have some advantages.

That's pathetic, you old bastard.

I mean hell, if this is all it will take, I'm going to go home and clean out the fridge and auction off some old food...

Go check this out... and look at the bids... This is utterly amazing - this proves that there really is a sucker born every minute, or someone with a hell of a lot of money... Amazing
