  1. Sox, Bears, Badgers. Bulls are still working themselves back.
  2. Its not\ entirely arbitrary. Its kind of like criminal law mens rea, terrorism is defined by the actors mind. If the goal is to use violence to instill fear, its terrorism, if that wasnt their goal, its not. Thus when a terrorist organization states that it was a terrorist attack, they have basically given you the reason for the attack. Conversely we dont even know who caused the explosion in this case. What if it was a spurned ex-lover, that wouldnt be terrorism, that would just merely be a homicide. The distinction between act of war and terrorism, is going to be somewhat arbitrary, because it is subjective, not objective.
  3. USS Cole attack was committed by a terrorist organization, AQ, who I believe took responsibility for the act. If a terrorist organization takes credit for this attack, then it almost self defines itself as terrorism. IE If no one claimed responsibility for the USS Cole and it was believed Sudan was responsible, it wouldnt have been an act of terrorism, it would have been an act of war.
  4. A potential argument would be, Scientist was not really a civilian he was part of the military, therefore not "terrorism." Once again, what determines "terrorism" is based on the facts. Easy ones are where civilians that have no connection to the military are targeted, its more gray when it could be argued that civilian was actually military. IE If the US had killed Wernher von Braun, was that terrorism or was that a military target? I dont have the facts, Iran will say that the scientist had nothing to do with an illegal nuclear weapons program, assassin would say that there was evidence that the guy was building illegal nukes. I dont really care what you call it because I think you can make an argument both ways.
  5. Eh the GM is subservient to the owner and other people potentially. Its nothing more than a new manager or boss coming in at a job and having to work with the employees already on staff. Cutler is on the payroll, my guess is that 99% of the candidates that come in are presenting a plan on how to improve around Cutler.
  6. Problem is that terrorism can be defined numerous different ways. This is pretty high profile so even if it was Mossad, it likely had some sort of green light from other countries.
  7. NH and Iowa primaries were just warm ups, SC is a Republican base state, much different perspective than Iowa or NH. If Romney can win SC, he should be well on his way.
  8. I was being nice, Ive never been a Boozer fan and Id have traded Noah multiple times by now.
  9. Sometimes I like the Bulls more when Asik/Taj are with the #1s as opposed to Boozer/Noah.
  10. Which is why I didnt say anything to start. I think Rubio's looked more pronounced because of what he did with the ball.
  11. Agreed, I thought the "European step through" looked like a travel.
  12. Yeah he probably needs his ankle to be taped at minimum, rolled it pretty bad.
  13. Leo Messi goes to finish but gets blocked by Ramos. Oh wait this is basketball.
  14. Strangesox, Thats not what I meant by social policies. I meant against gay marriage, war on drugs, etc. I consider welfare etc to be economic policies as ultimately the goal is to not have unemployed etc.
  15. Thats why I said in "most cases". None of them are willing to go as small as I would, nor are they willing to be as laissez-faire. I really dont fit well into a party system.
  16. Im not sure many "true" Democrats would vote for Paul (some of his stances are pro-life, extend tax cut on wealthy, wants to give Dr's who commit malpractice a tax credit, eliminate income, capital gains and death tex, etc). I personally find him more palatable than many of the republican candidates because hes not as focused on social policies. At least he has the guts to stick by small govt in most cases and at the end of the day I really do prefer a smaller federal govt, I just really dont trust the people who claim they are for it.
  17. Wisconsin cant shoot right now and they were overrated to start the year. Taylor had surgery in the offseason and he just hasnt been right since.
