al arabiya is pretty legit. There are huge differences in reporting language between al jazeera english and al jazeera arabic but from what I studied of al arabiya it is far less gory than al jazeera, but clearly middle east framed in the same way american media is western framed. Al arabiya, like qatar al jazeera, will only criticize outside governments, not their own, however. They have, like, no way of figuring out their ratings too, which I found interesting. I guess its really hard to get a census in Saudi Arabia.

I hope so. If I win this I will buy the board a new server plated in diamonds...when I get rich writing my memoirs about my year with white sox season tickets.

Agh. I suppose I did not win.

Yeah all of interscope sounds like s*** now. I'd rather listen to sean kingston.

Em's stuff sounds incredibly dated already, and is too reminiscent of a time in music that will probably looked down upon by more than me when we look back.

i take back what i said

I hate eminem I'd take wayne over him.

Dear lostfan, Plagiarism. Best, dear friend bmags

screw titus andronicus for not making up their show they canceled in columbia.

I'd put spoon in the boring live category, much as I like them as a band.

Yes, I too hope all shady activity by our government never comes to light!

Come on as soon as I saw a preview for Benjamin Button I knew it would be a best picture nominee. Those types of epic, many scenes thru-time pieces always do well in the academy. The reader was awful, though.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jan 23, 2009 -> 12:24 AM) Soxfan said it best for me. Again, I don't understand how one views local pride over worldwide pride. It would be the equivalent of me saying, "Man, I hope Dwyane Wade would not just play in the NBA because he might be injured and he wouldn't be able to play in my park league." And yes, it is exactly that since you guys are putting local pride over global pride. And yes, it is that f***ing stupid to say such. The best league may be the major leagues, but the MLB does not let us know what country has the best baseball players. For example, the European/Spanish league in soccer are considered the top leagues, but the best players don't come from there. More like Brazil, Argentina, even the USA. It's the same as this. And I'm pretty sure that Venezuela would beat the USA over the course of a season or playoffs. But then again, that's what this tournament is for. To see what country can field the best team. To say it is meaningless is like saying the Olympics is meaningless as it is just an exhibition. Every country around the world respect international competition way more than local championships, minus Americans. That is so weird. I'll put country pride when it matters. I'm not actively rooting for the US chess team just because the rep. the US. The WBC is boring. I root for the US in all the olympics and in the world cup because those are cool longlasting traditions that people get behind and they matter. The WBC is just made up because they think there was a demand for it when there wasn't...like womens softball.

Yes, I would say most schools now have kids go do some practical work in their field for credit.

I am a man.

Why are we talking about internships as if they are either or? Most people get internships in the summer or during a semester during college, so I don't think they are missing out.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jan 22, 2009 -> 10:01 PM) Meh, I don't think that means much. When Ben was a child, and first finds Richard in the woods, The Others were considered "The Hostiles" by Dharma. They were not part of Dharma either. They weren't dressed in uniforms when we saw them either.

their live shows really aren't that nuts. I mean, yeah Kevin Barnes may still be in that naked stage, but like the rest of the band is just standing at their instruments and Barnes costume changing can get pretty annoying.

Behind the plate, he's an excellent hitter ha.I hope he's right and he can be fringe-avg... I can handle weak D behind the plate as long as he calls a good game.

On more than one occasion my friends and I laughed out loud at how bad the acting was tonight. I was really disappointed tonight.

ugh, what a boring argument peanut. Are you really going to argue classical liberalism for the modern day usage?

I feel like this should have been such no-brainer stuff.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 08:01 PM) You went to Waubonsie HS? I went to Oswego. Yeah. Funny how similar Oswego and that Aurora/Naperville stretch on Ogden look now. Same with Plainfield. But compared to Neuqua, North and Central, Waubonsie was often referred to as second-rate. (because we were in a marginally poorer part of town)

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 07:59 PM) Benet Academy is a private school, and considered a high end one. I know, I meant to separate the two. I needed to specify kirkwood was a good public school because it is in missouri so not a lot of people would know it.
