Actually Zeus is who I prefer.

You referring to the mythical warrior goddess? I prefer Greek mythological figures.

Why are you wearing virtual reality goggles?

Unfortunately your opinion is completely wrong.

Same goes for Chipotle.

Seeing that most people didn't watch the Olbermann video that I posted a couple days back, here are some of the snippets I thought made a lot of sense and is part of the crux of my argument in this thread:

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 09:08 AM) Idiocy. You may not agree with some of the posts in here but you are adding nothing whatsoever to the discussion with posts like this.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2011 -> 08:38 AM) Here's probably the first of several bills that will come out in response to this attack. Wonder what the details on that one will be. That's the first bill they want to enact after this tragedy? Not something about letting mentally ill people buy guns and ammo? Hmm.

Pretty funny that everyone is getting worked up about which mechanic Chris Sale calls when his car breaks down.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 05:20 PM) It wasn't a very good conversation, and we had a FEW drinks BECAUSE of you.

Fox News CEO Roger Ailes: Fox And 'The Other Side' Need To Tone Down Rhetoric Why would he say that? What does what Fox says have to do with any of this? Weird.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 04:37 PM) Let me put this into a totally different context. For the people who believe that Palin or Fox, or whatever right wing group they believe is responsible for this, how will you react when this happens... Who exactly said this?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 04:33 PM) Loughner was and still is nutty, and if he is paranoid about government brain-washing, he is not going to be concerned about the party affiliation of a government official but simply the fact that they are a government official. You know the exact motive he had just by reading a few news clippings?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) Palin was brought up in this thread less than an hour after it was started. Post #16. Not all of the facts were even remotely known at that point. I think that should tell you something. It goes beyond simply reminding us that what Palin did prior to the tragedy was in poor taste. It was a "see how stupid/evil Palin really is? See what she causes? See what the GOP consists of?" type post, as are the similar posts that followed. When, what many consider to be, the GOP Presidential front runner has a sniper target on her website for a list of Democratic politicians and tells people to "restock" and "reload" people are naturally going to associate that rhetoric with this tragedy....no matter if it directly caused it or not. Especially after 2 years of extremely vitriolic rhetoric from Tea Party candidates and their followers.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 03:05 PM) This thread should be closed for idiocy. It's shameful. I don't understand. These topics are being discussed in fervent fashion all across the Internet on news sites and political blogs but we're idiots?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) So why none of the left wing hate getting mentioned? No quotes from the Daily Kos, where two days before appeared a much similar article than anything Palin has ever done... Why is that mentioned not here, if all we are worried about is the "climate of hate" or what ever garbage is excusing the right wing attacks? After all, you guys are much more avid readers of that, than anything Palin or Beck do. I didn't realize that there are Democrats who have sniper targets on recently assassinated or almost assassinated opponents on their websites.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 01:35 PM) Why does it matter? Palin has absolutely nothing to do with the shooting. It matters because this was a political event where the politician was the first person shot at by the terrorist. This terrorist also met with this politician at a previous political event. Palin had a sniper's target on her website with the victim's name on it and she used rhetoric with violent undertones. I'm not saying Palin is responsible for this but she certainly needs to be brought up in the discussion of the events that transpired.

As someone who doesn't really follow the Bears, the Bears/Seahawks game is easily the lamest matchup of the weekend.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 12:59 PM) I have the coffee with breakfast, do 60 pushups, 150 crunches, do the dishes, and then brush my teeth. I always do 61 pushups and 151 crunches while doing the dishes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) Only brushing twice a day. Thankfully, that's what my dentist recommends. I make sure to brush after coffee so that makes it a 3rd brushing each day.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 12:50 PM) That onion show might have a lot of potential, but it may also be terrible. I have a good feeling about it.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 10, 2011 -> 12:49 PM) So did everyone get their flu vaccine this year? Everyone eating right, avoiding fast food, staying within their healthy weight, getting enough exercise? Brushing their teeth three times a day? No one smoking here, no one doing drugs. *raises hand to all of the above*
