QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 08:18 PM) Fixed that for ya. At some point it's not worth the effort of contributing because you know that you'll instantly be called a racist homophob that hates poor people and ignores simple science. Also, I love that this new guy is just crushed for pages and pages because he stereotypes liberals as being anti-patriotic, but you guys spewed (and continue to spew) how much bulls*** about members of the Tea Party? (as one example) Again, I've been here a long time, the same s*** has been thrown from the other side just as hard, just as often. But frankly, a post like this whose sole purpose it is to delegitimize a wide swath of people has typically been called out by the mods. But the side that cries martrydom and takes their ball and goes home is pretty skewed right. You guys are victims of a left wing oppression, we get it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 07:46 PM) It has nothing to do with arguing points, and everything to do with having a bullseye on your back as soon as you deviate from the Democratic Party line. It would be different if it hadn't been a pattern over a period of years now. oh please. If that was the case the libya and afghanistan threads would be full of democratic cheerleading and the healthcare thread would talk about how it's the greatest thing ever. But it's not the case, you just have people arguing from one side just like you have other people arguing from another side. This is just a practice of victimization.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) Its because this board has had a double standard for a long time. Basically anyone who isn't left wing is picked at until they say the wrong thing, and then everyone cries out for a suspension. You guys can't handle anyone who thinks differently, and everything is done to get rid of them ASAP. Usually it takes longer than this, so bravo. bulls***. There have been a number of conservative posters who have left on their own because they didn't like having to argue their points to liberals on the board.. There is probably an equal split of liberal to conservative posters that actively participate in this forum. Both sides go at it about the same. ANd the conservatives whine just as much if not more.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 07:17 PM) And thanks for reinforcing the double standard SS. who is reinforcing the double standard here? For someone who claims to find this behavior so despicable, you're the first to defend it when it's coming from the other side. And you are an admin. In this case you just had someone called pathetic, and instead of writing a very reasonable response like chisox sonix, you said "you have a point".

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 08:58 PM) They now know that Kenny isn't messing around. Hahaha. But seriously...good luck to him. He performed every time we needed him to, frankly.

I hope he gets a chance to be an everyday major leaguer. Seems like a good kid.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) Well obviously you don't come out and say it right out loud. But a number of them are convinced that she's not innocent. Their job is to judge whether the state proved that she was guilty of the charges, not that she was "innocent" of them. That's why they say "Not Guilty". They did their jobs correctly.

If we played 162 games against the twins at home, i wonder what our record would be. Realistically with a sample that large you'd think it would even out...but I wonder if it's possible our record would be worse than the 02 tigers.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 02:34 PM) I remember that one start he made for us. ozzie wouldn't take him out, then we came back, scored some runs, and made it close. I think he also had a cup of coffee with Mets. uribe had like 11 rbis that game.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 11:14 PM) Well deserved. That's 3/3. Pods, AJ and now PK. I think it's actually like 3/5 or 6 edit: didn't mean to be downer. So glad for Paulie.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 09:42 PM) Damn right. Be careful though, there's women in it so people will make fun of you for seeing a "chick flick". As someone who dates a very funny woman, i quite liked seeing them in a role more than props to get f***ed over (in every way) by doofus male characters, or the "men are stupid, women comment on it" roles. I hope we do see more films like this.

so...4 weeks later I finally saw bridesmaids. And i consider it very highly on my all-time comedy list.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 06:17 PM) Google didn't create the search engine, email, or lots of the things they do now. But they sure took them to the next level. If anyone can beat facebook, that is google. naw, i don't believe it. If something is going to overtake facebook it's going to be something organic that starts off with nothing and grows and grows.

I have no desire to waste my time on another google social media project

because if there's one thing her career has taught us, her single minded pursuit is all about the truth.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 05:35 PM) They found her beaten, raped, and poisoned in the stairwell in Cabrini. I actually think she survived, but was in a coma and unable to communicate. Yeah, I remember that part. I must be remembering a different case where two boys were brought to the grand jury before semen was discovered.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:57 PM) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_white_woman_syndrome Seriously the American public has a bizarre fascination with attractive white women. I bring this up often, but Girl X's incident happened around the same time as Jonbenet Ramsey, everybody knows who Ramsey is but hardly anybody remembers Girl X. One of them got weeks, months, years of speculation about the case, the other got mentioned on the 10 o'clock news a couple times. Was Girl X the case where two boys saw her dead body and then told people they had killed her?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 05:19 PM) I can't, actually. Obama.

A political system based around veganism would be interesting.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:08 PM) Maybe if it were a dietary choice I'd see your point. I work with others to abolish animal use of all forms. I view it more as a social movement. I think so too.

I don't really consider veganism to be a political institution.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) I wouldn't use the word "bad" cuz I don't make judgments of people's political views, just as I understand them. He's critical of capitalism as an economic system and said he'd want to try something else (though he would be able to explain that a lot better, if he's reading this) i guess i view anarchy as "bad", but to the left of anarchy would be communist and I don't think he is a communist. I think he's just a scandinavian socialist which in historical standards is pretty light on the spectrum.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:43 PM) Further left than BigSqwert and you're also in anarchist territory. Y2HH has the same distrust of corporate money and special interests that the left does. I really don't think he's that bad. Do you think BigSqwert would actually propose a large nationalization of companies in the US? I think he just favors heavy regulation.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 04:34 PM) Oh, and also, for the record here...I don't think GW is as good as far right Republicans claim he was...and I don't think he was as bad as the far left Liberals say he was... That said, my voting record makes a pretty clear statement IMO: Clinton Bush Kerry I could not vote for McCain because of his choice of VP, nor did I like what Obama was selling...which was a dream. To say I agree with republicans more than democrats is stretching reality, at best...since I've voted for less Republicans in my life than Democrats. As Lostfan has said, after meeting me, he realized I'm less of a republican than most think...but I hate you democrats most of the time, too. Wasn't lostfan's quote that you were so far right you met bigsqwert on the other side?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 03:05 PM) I prefer either, since you apply universally valid statements only to me, but not yourself...so I say you too, have selective innocence, and since it would be impossible for you to refute such a generalized/global statement, I guess we both win. The difference is I'm not going into the Republican thread trolling calling you guys biased. I know I'm biased. I also try to back up my arguments, as do many of the posters in this thread. You guys might disagree with us, but as trying to back up our claims is a sign of respect. I expect the same.
