QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 04:08 PM) I am sure under normal circumstances he wouldn't have tried to beat her up. He a friend of yours? How can you speak for him? I would never do that to a woman in a million years whether I was drunk or sober.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) But I am just showing how the media loves to make the police always look like the bad guy. What did the media do here? They released a video of a cop beating the crap out of petite woman. The video speaks for itself. Anyone who saw the video and read nothing else or heard nothing else about the incident would have come up with the same conclusion.

Sorry BearSox. Not too many people are going to sympathize for cops that go around and beat the crap out of people.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 03:53 PM) He barely beat her Yeah, they must have used CGI in that video. QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 03:53 PM) Also, what makes this comical is that her boyfriend beat the crap out of her the week after this fight with the cop, breaking her hip, and getting charged with only a misdemeanor. That has no relevance to this case IMO. QUOTE(BearSox @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 03:53 PM) Again, this is a case of the media making the police look like the bad guys... I think the cop made himself look like the bad guy that he is. The media didn't need to do a damn thing. I can't believe you have some sympathy for this piece of s***.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxFan1 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 03:51 PM) Not my generation. How about Joey Tribbiani? Great. Now I'm part of the "old guy" crowd. *sigh*

Amen.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxFan1 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 03:45 PM) for a second....who cares about her. How should I myself act tonight. I shouldnt show her that im totally interested right? Act like the Fonz.

Eddie Murphy the father of Scary Spice's child? http://tinyurl.com/2967vt

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 03:12 PM) ...Santo goes thats the momentum changer. Heh. That should springboard their season.

This would belong in The Diamond Club part of the site since it's not Sox related. Probably not worth a separate thread either. EDIT - But thanks for the good news.

Anyone enjoying The Shield this season as much as I am?

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 01:29 PM) come on...let us see what all the fuss is about. I think it's the person to the right on his sig.

Jamie Navarro and Todd Ritchie.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 12:57 PM) but shouldn't we at least try? Four years and thousands of casualties later....i'd say we've tried. We have no business occupying a foreign land in the middle of a civil war.

Damn. Sorry to hear that about your brother Tex.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 11:47 AM) Religion, race, gender aside I dont think my couch could taunt me enough where I wouldnt want to sit on it because it reminded me of anything. Sounds like theyre making unnecessary drama. Another reason I would return it is because I would't want to have someone earning my money while they are insulting me. There are a million other couches to choose from that aren't insulting to anyone.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 10:40 AM) Really? That's not what a lot of guys say that are over there. I do agree that "brute force" won't work, but you have to do more then you are... because otherwise we're just sitting on our butt letting the bad stuff happen. We've seen what a strong U.S. military presence has done over there for the past few years....nothing. It seems that things are getting worse.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 10:37 AM) They've got to rid the sectarian violence enough to not leave a power vacuum when we leave. Right now, they're not taking action because they don't want to "offend" (that is probably a really bad choice of words, but for lack of another word at the moment, that's what I'm using) or to not get the right people... They have to use more force, show they are serious about ridding the troublemakers, and then ensure that the Iraqi's keep the peace after the areas have been cleaned out. Another real problem is that the Shia vs. Sunni thing has gone on for 1,500 years, so there may not be an answer - but you certainly have to try, and just not "leave" right now. Oh, by the way, the "war czar" is insanely ignorant. We are seen as occupiers. Adding more troops will not help eradicate sectarian violence. Brute force alone is not the solution, as we have seen for the last few years.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 13, 2007 -> 09:27 AM) My thoughts exactly. This is on par with the member of the Rutgers bball team who said she'd be scarred for life. I don't know about that. I'd feel weird sitting on a couch that had a label that said "Pollack Red". Or what if you were hispanic and the label was "Wetback Beige"; for Jews "k*** Gold" etc. You get the point. Just because you aren't offended by the color in this story doesn't mean that someone else shouldn't be. If I were African American and received that couch I wouldn't want it anymore. Not sure that I see a parallel with the Rutgers comments from Imus.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 04:13 PM) I assume they have to do SOMETHING, otherwise it has to be some form of false advertising. No? Good question. Unfortunately I do not have the answer.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 03:51 PM) My plans for today were: Go to Sears and buy a flatscreen TV that goes on sale today Talk to my neighbor about a car he's selling Drive 30 mins to an outlet mall to buy some summer clothes Lay by the pool TV is not in stock, not sure how it can be out if the sale started today. Car? sold Trip to the mall? Temp is 75 degrees but 40 MPH winds and blowing sand, "stay off I-10" the tv guy says. Lay pool side? Temp is 75 degrees but 40 MPH winds and blowing sand....and an ACTUAL drizzle. It's 1:50 pm and my day is over. Can you order the tv from their website?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 03:52 PM) Here are links to the transcript (you can click to each candidate if you want, from the top), and an article with a few highlights. Good reading. Thanks.

I think it's time for them to just cut him loose. He is wasted roster space.

QUOTE(Balance @ Apr 12, 2007 -> 02:43 PM) I'm sure both of them do.... So true.

Boy, the Angels have a lot of new faces this season. I barely recognize that team.
