The Kosovo/Serbia issue reminds me a lot of the Israel/Palestine issue.

Slavko, before this gets too deep I just want to say that while I respect you as an individual and as a sox fan, the country of your parents' origin has been unfortunately violent and oppressive to other groups in that area for many years. I can see your reasoning behind this topic that it looks like Albania is stealing part of that country away. But, the other ethnic groups in that region and all over the former Yugoslav areas are tired of being beaten down and attacked by the Serbian Army. Certainly you can see the value in a semblance of peace?

I see your point. I also know that this region has been ruled in one way or another by Serbia for a long, long time and the breaking away that all the other areas to become (or re-become) independent from Serbian rule in the last 20 years was overdue.

"Ethnic cleansing" can be real annoying when it affects your popularity huh.

Pablo would be a faster 2B than Richar or Uribe. /rumor

I would bet that Quebecois are like 87% French, 10% English 3% Other. In 1776, when Americans declared independence, they would have been classified as 84% English 10% French 4% German 2% Other. What's the difference? Another ethnic group living near or around Serbia fights to be independent from them. Croats, Bosnians, now Albanians living in Kosovo who will now be known as Kosovars. I highly doubt that Kosovo will merge itself into Albania now, it's not like Albania is taking over southern Serbia, these people have been there for years.

There are no true borders in southeastern Europe; only what the most recent guy with the gun and the cartographer says there are. Our family moved all over that area because they were farmers. They lived in Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Croatia. It just depended on where the best land was for farming and who wasn't trying to kill them at the time.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 08:33 PM) Well, since I was the first person in my family born here, and that was in 1989, I'm going to go with a no. Way to deviate from the topic though. Well, your opinion is biased by your family background. Yugoslavia as a country was a clusterf*** from the beginning. Only Soviet control kept everyone getting along. Once the Berlin Wall fell in '89, of course everyone went nuts and tried to kill each other. Kosovo is just another chapter in the continual splintering of that area. It's happening whether you as a Serbian person like it or not.

Ohhhhh everything is this thread is sooooo greaaaaatttttt!

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 08:19 PM) I'm not saying they are imaginary, never did. A "Kosovar" will basically be characterized as an Albanian living in Kosovo. Would you have a different definition of it? Just like there are still people in the Balkans who consider themselves Yugoslavia, or even Bosniaks. And in the late 1700's, Americans were Indians. I think not. The Declaration was signed in 1776, the War of Independence ended in the 1780s and the US Constitution was drafted in 1789. Like it or not, there were Americans who weren't Indians in the late 1700s. A Native is an inhabitant of North America prior to 1620, an original American is a person of European descent who settled in the middle of North America after 1620 whose descendants were here when independence was declared. Sound familiar?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 03:36 PM) Mike Myers signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers. Thanks. Takin' his brand of suck to the left coast.

So, in essence, Kosovars are imaginary eh? Kurds are imaginary, in fact, Americans were imaginary too I guess, in the eyes of England in the late 1700s.

You did ecstacy?

There are a lot of people in that area that have been controlled by someone other than themselves for years without their request.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Feb 17, 2008 -> 11:26 PM) There is a Barnaby's off Dundee Rd by the Highway in Northbrook. And Lou's is good, but I like the real Uno's or Edwardos better, Giardono's probably as well. I like NY style as well, they are just 2 different tastes so its really no use to compare them. As for NY style, I used to love this place back in Madison called Ian's, they are supposed to be creating one in Lincoln Park, but we will see. Not a fan?

There's a place here in this area called Barnaby's. There used to be a series of them in Illinois and Wisconsin but these are the last few left. They do a beer batter crust, square cut. Awesome pizza.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Feb 17, 2008 -> 02:52 AM) I hope Sisco sucks in spring training so we don't have to endure his wildness again this season. Hope he proves me wrong, but he is a stiff. What about a better option... He doesn't suck in Spring Training, but he does well enough so that KW gets people interested in giving us something for him in a trade.

I can see 83-79, but trading Garland kills them.

Leftwich worth a look at all?
