QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 09:56 AM) Hopefully Vietnamese prision isn't nearly as nice as American prisions... They're not. Ask Chuck Norris.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 09:22 AM) Who us or Austrailia? Now that you mention it ... both. I was talking about us, however.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 08:57 AM) I think it's entirely appropriate to blame Bush for seeming out of touch during the crisis and for lying through his teeth about it afterwords. I think it's entirely appropriate to blame Nagin and Blanco for not doing what was necessary to protect the people in the city of New Orleans and state of Louisiana. And I think its entirely appropriate to use it as justification to fire the three of them. This, I agree with.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 08:59 AM) Funny, that coming from a nation founded by criminals. ... about a nation that all but systematically eliminated a race.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 08:35 AM) Actually, Bill Clinton publicly opposes the deal. "Publicly" being the keyword.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 07:54 AM) I mis-typed. Nothing classic about it. I meant to type stupid. So typical.

He, like you, makes some very strong points.

LCR, I sincerely hope the day gets behind you quickly and without too many offensive occurances.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 04:48 AM) Comparing Frank to Sosa.. classic. :headshake

I was under the impression that $17M figured was based on the assumption of a $10M cap boost, that can no longer be assumed. This falls in line with the figures from Clayton.

There's leadership for you!

Similar to the number of complaints you'd hear about Sosa from the northsiders till the crap hit the fan.

That may be the problem.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 03:51 PM) Great post. Great offseason indeed, FLEW by. I absolotly cannot wait til me and my old man are pumping the volume for opening day on a sunday nite with our fav. dinner. Spring training will be fun, very fun, and the season will be better. my myspace has gone totally white sox, and ive gotten more into this site then ever. I also wanted to thank everyone on the site, i learn so much from the fellows here. You're welcome.

Let me take a stab at this from a perspective you brought up, Steff. My father may someday end up on one. My son may have been put on one had he lived long enough. Would I want to pull the pull on either? No. Would I agonize over the decision to have the plugged pulled on either? Very much so. However, what I'm saying is that at that point, the odds are that neither one ever have gotten to the point of leading a full, healthy life again. Yes, as you stated, there are exceptions. But stop making me out to being a cold heartless bastard that has no regard suffering of the infirm or their families. That is certainly not the case. If you allow the statement to be made in the context of making the point, and making that point only, then you should be able to see it for it is and not the way you are currently seeing it.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 05:02 AM) Vicious....? For questioning your comment about removing someone from life support because "in most cases they don't have much life left to live..." I think I was quite composed given the comments, and the reiteration of them when I asked for clarification. Not vicious at all. Stunned. Shocked. Thoughts of your father and how your analytical, non-emotional stance may someday effect him. I never implied that it was justifiable on it's own. You're either twisting my words or my meanings.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) Screw her.. she didn't have much of a life left anyway. Excuse me for looking at it from an analytical, non-emotional viewpoint. Why is it that when someone holds an opposing viewpoint than you, you turn vicious?

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 07:57 PM) Does that mean for whatever goes wrong in Afghanistan.... Blame Canada? Seems reasonable to me.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 03:44 PM) Let me give you an example of something. Last March, I made some decisions and did some things at my current place of employment. All of a sudden, I get subpeoned and I have to remember the DETAILS and I mean EXTREME DETAILS of EXACTLY what I did last year at this time. Do you think I will remember that? Probably not. Or for you college kids - you aced an exam in a mid-level college course last year on March 1, 2005. If I handed you the same exact exam, without cracking a book or notes or lectures or anything to refresh your memory, would you still ace it? Probably not. That's the sort of thing that's going on here. I'm not saying that Scooter is an angel. But at the same time, I'd forget some details of what the hell I was doing in a day to day basis. Edit: DAMN! You keep putting this s*** in this thread to keep 'the other people' from commenting. How cute. See? I already forgot where in the hell I was posting at. Good thing I'm not Scooter. I'll move it all later into it's own thread. I really don't mean to do this. Oh man! You are GOOD. You take a subtle approach to proving your point. I like it!

My teams growing up ... Eagles, Giants, Souix, Sox. Souix? The entire league had Indian based names. Apache, Kiowa, Pawnee, etc. I wonder if Chicago Ridge Little League still does that.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) Sit down and watch until something happens that makes you want to stand and cheer. Otherwise be prepared to have me (and others) ride you like no other until you sit the f*** down. That is all. I suppose a polite request is out of the question?

This is a matter of common sense and common courtesy. However, both are becoming more uncommon every day.

I have to go with Paulie's Slam! It was just one of 'those' moments.

No, Frank has handled himself like the petulant self-centered boorish player he has always been. He does not have "every right" to bash the Sox. He just couldn't keep his big mouth shut, as this crap went on all winter.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 04:12 PM) Say what you want about Bonds, but thats f***ing hilarious. At least he has something resembling a sense of humor about himself. Still a prick, but thats pretty funny. I've never seen a comedic side to Barry Bonds before. He always comes across as surly. It's a refreshing change.
