i went to pitchfork. it was fun.

thank God. It sucked going from screaming how awesome Vizquel is to then screaming how s***ty Bobby is. Even f***ing threets can get the mariners out. Bobby sucks.

I can honestly say at this point that I had no idea how bad this was going to be to get back under.

also education might help the infected from being marginalized and harrassed.

However, that's also not including the costs a city may bear if they run any sort of community health clinics as well. not to mention what an AIDS epidemic in the city would do for it's growth.

why are you bothering to argue with someone who wrote: he removed himself from serious debate when he wrote that.

where testing facilities are, where you can go for help if you have AIDS, pass out free protection, offer counseling etc. A big part of the battle is getting people tested.

an AIDS re-emergence isn't really something you want in your city/nation. In recessions things like this can happen.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) If they know that you can get it through unprotected sex, than no amount of education is going to help. I disagree. If there is a general feeling that AIDS is something that happens "over there" or with others, educating them about how it's real and passed in your community would help.

shockingly, people other than the gay community get AIDS. Specifically very poor areas and rising totals in the black community (also senior citizens).

this page is pretty great.

also the idea of a zoning board in the heart of NYC being scared as pretty hilarious. I'm sure there is intimidation in that room, and it isn't coming from the audience.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) And again, these ads will do next to nothing to address the lack of knowledge. they also have street teams.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) Although I'm sure Omar has been teaching and mentoring Alexei, sometimes players respond by just playing with better players. If you have a guy like Alexei who has a natural talent, his game can be bettered by simply playing with someone like Omar. i agree with this. when you have a player as bad as teahan to your right, it's easier to mail it in or justify that it wasn't your fault. When you have one of the greatest defensive players of the last two decades on your right, you don't want to f*** up, because you know he won't.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) Show me the graph where these people are unware of how AIDS is transmitted. You can't put the f***in condom on for them. i'd like to see these poor peoples awareness in DC and Chicago of whether they still know how big of a threat HIV is.

hahaha

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 12:51 PM) He could be working with him in practice and giving him pointers? And maybe Alexei feels more comfortable and/or confident with Vizquel there instead of someone like Teahen or Viciedo who he feels he has to try and cover for? I really think being able to trust that the 3b next to him will get what he's supposed to get and more means that alexei has been able to completely focus on what he should be doing, not what he should be doing, plus how he needs to over for 3b.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 04:33 AM) So anymore doubting if Omar is worth the 1.375 million dollars this year? If nothing else, the effect that he has had on Alexei was worth it, let alone the play that Vizquel has brought in the last 6 weeks. that was a pretty positive response to that signing.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 04:06 AM) I was watching a random Thursday night football game in like November this year and my roomate asked me if I was watching the Super Bowl, and he was dead serious. i mean does the dude/girl watch sports at all. When i think of dumbass fans i think of the people that just like talking/arguing without bothering to care to know what they are talking about.

also: fisted.

omar - alexei ninth back to back outs were just unreal.

they aren't building a mosque on the site of 9/11 anyway. They are building a community center and place of worship in the city they reside. I sure as f*** hope there are no churches or YMCAs anywhere near the OKC bombing site.

weird.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 06:56 PM) Well 2 blocks is nothing in terms of distance, and I think the people telling the NYC folks how to feel would be making the same hissy fit if it were 6 or 8 blocks away because they seem to have no problem with putting their noses in the business of other people anyways. eh, in a dense city something two blocks away is completely unrelated. Put yourself in the position of actually walking in the city, in the middle of hundreds of buildings, you probably wouldn't even put 2 and 2 together.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) The middle paragraph in there is a bit of a stretch since it seems to compare an oil spill and urban sprawl to 9/11, but I agree it's a local issue, and as I said in the last post, I think that the group attempting to build the mosque/community center/whatever you want to call it in that spot absolutely has the right to do so. I'm just saying people shouldn't be surprised that there are people who are not thrilled with the idea. Unfortunately, one of the first things a lot of people still think of when they hear mosque or muslim is terrorism. I actually find that to be very sad, but a lot of people are still at that place mentally. It's also 2 blocks away. But the main point is the I would also be as annoyed as this man/woman-new-yorker telling them what to be offended about.
