QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 08:41 PM) Only someone with a brain the size of a chicken would make such a silly and offensive comparison. So I guess only I am not allowed to make personal attacks going forward. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 08:41 PM) Considering you just admitted you don't eat meat not because of health concerns, or the cost, but because of ethical ( ) reasons, you should care. Why else would you do it? Just to feel better about yourself? I don't eat meat for a variety of reasons but you never cared to ask why. You just ignorantly assumed it was only for ethical reasons. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 08:41 PM) Just for your smugness, personal attack, and offensive remark about the Holocaust, I'm going to drive my 8 MPG F-150 Van 1.5 miles to work, order a few cheeseburgers from McDonald's and throw them on the ground. Let's see how much more of your "ethical" sacrifices you'll make to balance out the damage I'm doing to (y)our precious Earth. Unreal. And I'm the one with a chicken sized brain.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 05:22 AM) Do you honestly think that cow cares that you purposely chose not to eat a hamburger? No. Why would I? QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 05:22 AM) Animals are stupid, Apparently you are too. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 05:22 AM) and we can't have just have a bunch of them running around the Earth with no control. Didn't Hilter say the same about Jews? QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 13, 2007 -> 05:22 AM) There are 4 times as many Chickens as humans. Not before factory farming became the norm earlier in the 20th century. Before then, eating meat was not very common for most people. It was expensive and mostly exclusive to the wealthy. Hence the diseases of affluence.

Yay. Tad Iguchi and Aaron Rowand. Maybe we can bring Politte and Timo back while we're at it. Perhaps even Crazy Carl.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 01:34 PM) At least for the last one, the hosts finally started saying that Gravel isn't actually running a campaign since he doesn't bother, you know, campaigning, and didn't include him. I was wondering about that. I assumed he had dropped out of the running.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 12:56 PM) It's being said quite widely on the internets this morning that Sen. Obama seems to have given his best speech of the campaign season this weekend at the Iowa Jefferson/Jackson dinner fundraiser. And he steals the Bulls' introduction. Looking forward to this Thursday's debate.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 09:59 AM) Yet I find your outrage quiet humorous. Who says I'm outraged? QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 09:59 AM) but I don't hear constant comments. Constant comments? I didn't even start this thread. I added a couple of posts.

Someone might have to go and wake up Fred Thompson before it's too late.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 04:16 PM) That's a rather assholish thing to post. Go ahead and eat your meat but to people like me who do not eat meat for ethical reasons that is not a mature response to throw back at me. To me it would be like bragging about all the abortions my various girlfriends had over the years to a pro-lifer.

QUOTE(Chombi and the Fungi @ Nov 10, 2007 -> 02:00 AM) I was saying to pm me cuz I like to talk music but rap isn't as popular as rock on these types of boards...So if anyone wanted to chat I'd be down. Especially more underground as opposed to mainstream. That and it just hit me to check back now, so clearly like i said, i'd forget. Have you checked out Bless 1's "Starving Artist"?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 9, 2007 -> 07:24 PM) I don't think any candidate should ever "try to do something for minorities", in terms of hiring. I'd want them to hire the best people for the given job. The only jobs where your race is important, I suppose, is if the job itself was race-related, like marketing segment campaign work or diversity type roles. Other than that, get the best person. if you do that, you'll likely end up with a diverse group anyway. How do you explain Guiliani's 100% white campaign staff?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Nov 9, 2007 -> 06:06 PM) I doubt Giulinani is counting on the black vote. That's what bothers me though. "I won't even try to do something for the minorities. Heck, I don't even want any of them working with/for me." That's why so many people look at the Republican party as a party of old, rich white men.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Nov 9, 2007 -> 04:55 PM) pfft, whetever. if there were more minorities you would be calling them phonies. what, GW Bush is good because he has minorities in high level positions? Well if I were black I would wonder why I would ever think of voting for Guiliani. EDIT: I guess as a white person I wonder the same thing.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 9, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) The guy in the public bathroom who makes so much noise you think that they are not in there for a bowel movement, but that they are about to give birth to a 9 pound baby. Then of course the same guy, who comes out of the stall all sweaty after fightin through the birth of his brown baby boy, smiles like he accomplished something, then proceeds to leave the bathroom forgetting to wash his hands. The guy in the public bathroom, who thinks its his turn on american idol. Nothing creepier than hearing some song acapella while trapped on the toliet. People who while in the stall next to you in the public bathroom, are talking on their phone. Speakerphone is worse of course. How about the guy standing at the urinal next to you who is uncomfortably too far away from his urinal. And I'm not kidding about this one....have seen it a couple times in my lifetime, the guy who pulls his pants and underwear down to his ankles at the urinal. And I'm not talking about a kid.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 9, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) The Bulls don't have a single go to guy, player who can create his own shot, or top 25 NBA player on their roster. They don't get to the free throw line enough, have small guards, have bigs who are either too short (Wallace), old (Wallace again, Smith), or skinny (Tyrus, Noah). They also have only one true point guard and lockdown defender, and he's always in foul trouble, are too small as a team to guard Boston or Detroit, have nobody you have to double team, let opponents get to the free throw line too much, and always have at least one guy on the floor you don't have to guard unless Joe Smith and Tyrus are in. Other than that though, I could see this team winning a championship. After all, Ben Gordon could get taller, Hinrich could learn how to not foul, Luol could get more athletic, Ben Wallace might get younger, Tyrus might gain a work ethic, and Joakim Noah might stop shooting the ball sideways. So tell how us you really feel.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 05:17 PM) The clicking noise is not good. If it was a business I would suggest just sending in to a recovery center and having them recover your data. But your MP3s and Video probably dont justify the cost. There are a few ways, and they have worked in some fashion or another. Sometimes the drive's rocker arm is physically bad and you cant do anything with it. Most of the time, its an error that can be overcome with the following things. The two ways that have worked for me when having a knock is to freeze the drive, or to rap on the drive. Freezing the drive is as simple as it sounds Remove the hard drive, place it in a plastic bag, then put it in your freezer for about 24 hours. Then take it out, and boot off of it. When it comes up, make sure you have a disk to copy your data to. The other way, is to rap your fist slightly mind you on the drive, and sometimes it will spin up. In the old large SCSI disk days, we used to slam the SCSI disk down hard, to reset the rocker arm. Sometimes it would work. Else we were going to backup tape. Hope this works, and good luck. Data loss makes a backup believer out of anyone. 200 ways to recover I tried the freezing method and was able to get it to run for a few minutes. I was able to copy over 21 albums from my music folder before it stopped. I tried freezing it again and connecting it but it would not work.

QUOTE(knightni @ Nov 9, 2007 -> 11:21 AM) You're prepared to give up a first rounder in '08 and '09? Based on recent 1st round picks by the Bears, yes! A guy with the ability to throw 30 TDs in a season is more valuable than a guy that might be good in a few years. -
