  1. Is anyone else getting really sick of this s***?
  2. You'll learn to love it here, people are awesome. You can PM me with anything else if you want.
  3. and will continue to suck indefinitely.
  4. It's so stupid to try and claim that a player getting injured is a good thing.
  5. I've been thinking about this whole town-hall thing more than I probably should be and I've come up with a couple of thoughts: a. It's illegal to yell "Fire!" in a theatre or "Bomb!" on an airplane because it runs a pretty high risk of inciting chaos. However it's become apparent that bringing a loaded assault rifle to an already tense political event is perfectly acceptable. These people may have the right to do bring guns wherever they want, but if precedent from the 1st amendment applies they really shouldn't. b. We are seeing the comfort zone of relatively extremist individuals being expanded. Right now they feel pretty vindicated and/or proud to be bringing guns to rallies, but what happens when that becomes so commonplace that there is no longer much thrill in it? Where is the line going to be drawn here? If you let people get away with stuff like this over and over eventually they are going to push the limits... what that entails is anybodies guess at this point.
  6. Why? Because it's not in line with your hyperbolic generalization that Wrigley Field is a giant bar and all their fans are complete morons. Calm the hell down dude, it's just baseball.
  7. This can happen just about anywhere.
  8. This year being awful for new music has allowed me to branch out into the past. Even though I think I've just listened to Stop Making Sense like 6000 times.
  9. Life During Wartime. LaSalle & Adams. Rush Hour.
  10. What an attractive option! Your freedoms end when they affect other people; so when you exercise your freedom to not get healthcare and then when something goes wrong treat the emergency room as your primary care physician while everyone else pays for it it's not like you're the shining beacon of motherf***ing liberty. Only a true patriot raises the costs for everyone else while they quickly descend into bankruptcy for being an idiot. Umm... last I checked Wal-Mart is not a federally subsidized company. If anything what you posted goes to prove that our "choice" of healthcare providers is nothing but a mirage. We dont have a free market healthcare system, it's pretty much identical to a government system except that it runs for profit (which keeps a lot of people from affording it).
  11. blah I must be the only person in the country who is completely sick and tired of hearing about anything regarding the 'founding' of America 250 years ago. Whether it's what the "founding father's would've wanted" or some hilariously outdated document that people still cling to, the whole idea of trying to get back to our roots is so (for lack of a better word) gullible. We dont live in 1789 America anymore folks, if you haven't noticed.
  12. Ozzie Guillen and it's not even close.
  13. Do the Mariners not have a speaker system in their park? I like the quiet.
  14. +1 to the first person to post an article describing this move as 'gutsy'.
  15. Team success over individual success... I'm pretty sure most of these guys grasp that concept.
  16. These guys are professionals, and it'd be fairly selfish of Dye (or anybody else) to get angry over lost PT while there are players like Jim Thome on this team who appreciate the kind of efforts KW is making to put this team in a position to win it all.
  17. ... and the Hawks have the offseason from hell while the Bulls prove to be one of the most poorly managed teams in the world.
  18. Re: Quentin comment from other topic. I dont think they're going to shut Quentin down, but it gives the Sox an opportunity to not have to play him while he is recovering from injury.
  19. It'd be pretty foolish to get rid of Pods after he had a .350 OBP as a leadoff man. Rewind one year and remember how badly we needed a leadoff guy? Put up with Pods defense, especially now with Rios, and be content that we actually have a leadoff man.
  20. Ive never seen partisanship this extreme.
