QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:47 AM) Tell her that a fellow Sox fan in Dallas just had a baby, and the Sox are worth going, and that beautiful little baby will love being 'outside' (oh... wait a minute...) I win. Where's my Shiner? I've gotten two separate endorsements of my idea. The Shiner is mine!!!

QUOTE(SoxFanInDallas @ May 16, 2006 -> 08:21 AM) I need some realistic ideas on how to convince my 'pregnant' wife to go to the Sox-Devil Rays game on Thursday. Background: We are flying in that day for a wedding over the weekend. Thursday night is the ONLY day we will be visiting with her friend, and the rest of the weekend is with my family. And, my wife is pregnant, so I have to be nice to her If one of you suggests a winning idea that convinces her to go to the game, I will send you a sixer of Shiner Bock....the best damned beer in Texas. Make her the very unselfish offer of alllowing her to spend time with her friend without having you hovering around, then you go to the game.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 16, 2006 -> 06:11 AM) You do realize these are people's backyards they are patrolling. Perhaps you would enjoy living in a military zone, many of us on the border would prefer a different approach. From what I read about that one family's back yard, which I posted in another thread a few days ago, I imagine those people would disagree with you.

A couple of others: Sunday Morning Comin' Down - Kris Kristofferson Come Monday - Jimmy Buffett Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers

QUOTE(Brian @ May 15, 2006 -> 07:32 PM) What happened? When Pinella was the Reds manager, he and Dibble got into it in the locker room.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 15, 2006 -> 04:58 PM) And Alex is too girly, but that hasn't stopped him yet He'll figure it out .... eventually.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 15, 2006 -> 04:56 PM) LOL, I didn't think he was a first rounder, it wasn't a response to you. Unless ya wanna fight... Nah ... I'm too old for that stuff.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 15, 2006 -> 04:54 PM) I really don't think so. Don't think what? I guess I stand corrected. The mind is the 1st thing to go, they say.

QUOTE(Beltin @ May 15, 2006 -> 04:52 PM) I think A-Row was a first rounder. I believe he was a 2nd round choice.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 15, 2006 -> 12:15 PM) No, I've been saying over and over again, let US INTERESTS decide the program. If the US needs them, then let's allow them. Some people claim we don't need them, and I think that conclusion is wrong, With the low unemployement rates these past decades, these workers have fit into the economy. That clearly demonstrates to me there is a need. Don't shoot ourselves in the foot by deporting them. I do not believe the US will raise a generation of manual laborors, at any price. As has been happening forever, immigrants will take those jobs and their children will not. Just like many of our ancestors did to give our grandparents and parents that opportunity. I don't think we have to create a military zone to put some sanity into this situation. Some people want to stop immigration no matter what, that is insane. Most people ... Most ... want to stop illegal immigration, not just immigration.

QUOTE(Balance @ May 15, 2006 -> 12:11 PM) Go get 'em , Sox! Don't let the Twinks think they have a chance this season! Exactly. They can't gain by getting splits.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:56 AM) they been known to do that from time to time. Id hate to see a tem pull a triple play and than have a hard time getting out of the inning. That came from a story my father told me. The Yankees hit into a TP against the Sox back in the 60's. Casey Stengel, in his frustration after the game, seriously said "That play took us right out of the inning." Casey was one of a kind.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 15, 2006 -> 12:09 PM) As long as it's somewhere around "a lot", I'm cool with it. That works for me!

QUOTE(fullcollapse @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:52 AM) i think he'll get to 50 50 even. New team record.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 15, 2006 -> 12:02 PM) Would you then slow the economic growth and the hot economy creating jobs? That to me is the central theme. We are creating these low end jobs, your solution seems to always be Americans, at some higher salary, will suddenly want to be yardmen, bus boys, and migrant workers. I don't see it. I don't see someone growing up in America, attending school, deciding on a manual labor job. I do see immigrants accepting that role to provide a better life for their children. As parents, we all know the sacrifices we would make for our children. I agree 100%. I am all for only allowing those immigrants who can support themselves and their families to immigrate. That should be part of the guest worker program. No jobs, no immigration. Let US labor needs control immigration, not some arbitrary program that is decades old. That's a different spin, since you seem to be against any legislation or action that would limit immigration ... even illegal immigration.

The 'militias' have killed so many too. I believe that was also predicted.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:48 AM) So you agree that he's the most corrupt political official of all time? Wow, I'm no expert in politics, but I think I could could come up with a couple dozen political leaders who would be considered much more... Silly me. How could I forget slick Willie?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:53 AM) So its population increases that are causing this problem huh? I guess we need to have a Chinese-style population control programme to prevent us from having to import food then huh? One way of controlling population increases in the USA is to keep the illegals out.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:45 AM) lol...Not a hint of negative bias... Not a hint of inaccuracy.

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:44 AM) Exactly. And as more and more capability gets plowed under, and more and more farms close, it becomes more and more difficult. It is in our nation's security interest to maintain a healthy agriculture industry. In a crisis we will be able to feed ourselves, but it will take time to plant those crops and have them grow. The Sky Is Falling!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:43 AM) Vicente Fox is the most crooked, corrupt son of a b**** I have ever seen hold office. He is running a corrupt, impoverished, narco-state who's 2 main exports are narcotics and impoverished people. Really. I couldn't give a rat's ass what that crooked SOB says or thinks.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:40 AM) I mean that killing fathers and mothers and children coming across the border is not going to play well in a whole lot of parts of the country when it happens. If they'd come in legally, your perceived crisis would never happen.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:16 AM) And then Doug Mohns switched to #11 while Pat Stapleton was wearing #12. I wouldn't count J.P. Bordeleau and Behn Wilson as memorable wearers of #23. Seriously though I can't think of a prominent Blackhawk wearing 23. Bobby Hull + Dennis Hull + Bobby Orr?

QUOTE(Texsox @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:36 AM) We already are. We import an insane amount of food. Those strawberries in January? They weren't grown in Missouri. Your McBurgers? South American cattle. The only large burger chain that uses American beef is What-a-burger. It takes time to grow crops and the land is being used for shopping malls, not agriculture. Check out this UK article US Dept of Ag We are importing food because it is profitable to do so, not because we need to. The USA can feed itself in a crisis situation.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:34 AM) At least we are one step closer to some good old fashioned major urban race riots after some green weekend soldier shoots and kills someone coming over to try to make a better life for their family. You mean that these fine upstanding wanna-be American citizens would resort to violence? Surely, not.
