Man, this is exciting. Twitter is totally #bonerquality

I really want a Vizquez jersey. And can't wait for the Rally Vizquez

it's pretty difficult for theory's to be made into laws. Like I said, I find it disrespectful to walk into a class of someone who the subject is their life's study and work, and challenge them before listening to their presentation. And if you can't listen to alternative presentations without crying about bias then you probably aren't cut out for college.

The casual fan is a huge portion of any fan base. They aren't paying attention constantly,a nd will not thing "this guy is just a yankee cast-off" they will think "hey the guy that was playing for all those world series teams I saw signed with the white sox!"

any player that has been slurped up by ESPN for the past 6 years is going to be exciting for a fan base. Peavy has no where near the name recognition that Johnny Damon has.

Maybe I'm timid, though I doubt it, but I also think those questions are out of place for the class. Elaboration: When I take a science class, I do not go into it looking to prove my beliefs, I go into it for knowledge on how to do the science and how to understand their topics/jobs. A better way to explain this, This 6,000 year belief is based on religion. The biologists work is not based off of religion, but based on the work they've done. I think the importance of the class is to ask questions pertaining to that work. And I think it's shortsighted to say you can't still find you're beliefs on that 6,000 even moreso by knowing how the science works. And more elaboration: I took religious studies courses on the torrah and also a christianity course. When in the torrah class, I didn't feel it germane to the class to ask "Why do the jews reject the son of god when there is clear evidence that he was the prophet?" The class is about the teachings of the torah and the societies it represented. My questions stuck to them. In the Christianity class, I did not ask for proof to counter my growing atheism. I learned what there was to learn, and I found it a fulfilling class. It's just as important to learn the topic at hand without forcing the topic to extrapolate to your own hypotheses. That can be done at professor hours. But I find it a bit disrespectful to ask the teacher to debate something off topic.

I had a presidential class too. I thought it was a little overly favorable to Wilson, but I don't know what you take from that. It seems poliSci professors think much more highly of him (perhaps his background) And also he had a huge hard on for James K Polk, but I chalked that up for being a big They Might Be Giants fan.

Was anyone else surprised at how unpolitical their college was? I was pretty relieved, I think I would've been annoyed as hell at Madison, Wisc in 2008. All my polisci courses were so process specific it never really got into political parties. It might just be that thousands of 18-24 year olds on their own without parental influence tend to be more liberal before they find jobs and move on.

Um, strange concept. I'd take Chris Carter, he seems to be hitting a lot of balls over the wall. Major leagues in the last five years...yeah I guess vazquez, the p.o.s. Or swish. Could use some OBP on this team.

Shopping. Massages. Nails. Puppies. You sure do know women. Or at least the Super Bowl commercial image of them.

take a day in Paris to not do anything except walk, with no destination.

Please salvage this offseason

So then torture is justified? Or then so we should bring back civics tests for voters? yeah welcome to nobodyisarguingthatville

because we all know, if it's not as bad as the holocaust, it's not evil.

it is kind of curious to me though when they teach us things so simplistically at points that it's just completely wrong. I have no examples, but i just vividly remember the reactions in high school and college when I was like "why the hell would the even teach us the lie"

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 04:16 AM) The "law enforcement approach to terrorism" and "capitulating" or "pre 9-11 approach" or however that talking point is phrased is just a fallacy at best, a bald-faced lie made out of whole cloth at worst. You just can't say that with any kind of credibility when the administration still has troops in Iraq (for now), increases the American presence in Afghanistan by about a factor of 3, and authorizes twice as many Predator strikes as Bush did, while pissing off his base because he continued a lot of Bush's policies. I guess it doesn't count if you don't arbitrarily invade another country. It was sarcasm. That was a big capture.

hell of an offseason kenny

Yes.

Yes, torture, who cares, right? Who cares that the united states is opting Khumer Rouge tactics? Not me! Because real americans know that the khumer rouge was just misunderstood

well, i guess we just have to wait for torture to blow up in someones face for it to...oh wait, we already know we tortured and now they turned the debate around so that we SHOULD torture and anything else is weakness. Silly me.

you could clump together that whole "boys club of the CIA being unchecked from inception to 63" and really even longer. Like CIA paying for the shah's prostitutes for their whole family and what not.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 12:08 AM) God descended to Earth and commanded our Founding Fathers to give freedom all men with the immortal and flawless Constitution. However, today we are not doing God's bidding because the Constitution was never intended apply to women (it specifically says "men" because women belong only in the kitchen and the bedroom, people who believe otherwise are responsible for our cultural and moral decline) or blacks (they aren't people). It also reminds us that the Bible tells us to hate gays. Hey dude, they are 3/5s of people.
