Executions
QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Nov 11, 2009 -> 09:40 AM) Why exactly would they suffer more. Its not like they are out in the yard smashing rocks with a sledge hammer or working on a chain gain. Cable TV, unlimited law library, exercise facilities and the ability to obtain drugs and influence other people. Sure they might not be able to sit for a few years after they are brought in. But they adapt. Lots of inmates adapt to the lifestyle and can function. Its not club med, but its not hard labor either. Unless they're in a gang they will have no influence on anyone in prison and can potentially be beaten and raped while there.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 04:37 PM) Yes because of all those horrible outfield related injuries he's suffered over the years. I don't care how or where he gets injured but the dude hurts himself walking to the mailbox.

Shooting at Fort Hood
QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Soxy, 'abandoning his duty'? Just what was he doing instead of being there? Was he in intense peace talks with the PLO and Israel? Was he hammering out the details of some new job-saving bill? Really, what was so important that he couldn't be there? What was the rush for him to be on the scene right away? Aren't there investigators there securing the crime scene? EDIT: And how did they know this wasn't part 1 of a multi-staged attack involving other soldiers? Wouldn't it be smarter to get all the facts straight and flush out what happened before immediately flying the President there? Was Bush at ground zero the next day?

Sox GM Meetings
QUOTE (chunk23 @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 04:16 PM) Honestly, considering his health, Quentin should really be moved to DH. How sad is that we have to consider moving our young LF to DH because he's so fragile. I'm starting to wonder if the villain in "Unbreakable" was loosely based on Quentin.

Shooting at Fort Hood
QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 01:58 PM) There is a difference between photogs being there, and him having his entourage around to photograph the historic moment of the first african american president doing . Bush met with families of dead soldiers when the bodies came back to America without photographers capturing every moment of it, why can't Obama? Maybe because Bush implemented a media ban on dead soldiers.

Shooting at Fort Hood
QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 01:22 PM) If he left immediately, took about 1000 reporters with him and made the speech all about how this was a tragic occasion and somehow relates it all back to him being the first african-american president and turned everythign into a photo-op, then yes, you are correct. If he would have went and told the photogs to just stay away, not so much. Did I hear right that instead of going there, he went to Camp David for a few days instead? Just asking. Somehow I have the feeling that no matter how he handled this you would have found a reason to criticize.
