see Soldier Field

Detroit because I feel sorry for that city and it's economy.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 25, 2009 -> 10:30 AM) Oh s*** $500mil of tax liability. Lets say there are 1mil tax payers in Chicago, that equates to $500 per person. If I wanted to travel to see the Olympics I would have to pay thousands of dollars. I can already see the crippling impact that $500 will have on my life. Problem is a lot of people don't care to go see the Olympics. They don't want to pay a penny for it.

Off topic but how come there aren't a ton of giant wind turbines in the middle of the great lakes?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 25, 2009 -> 09:37 AM) It was good. I loved Charlie passed out face down in the trailer. I was crying when Mac threw the bottle at the bicyclist.

It's Always Sunny was solid once again. And I loved the added bonus of seeing Nightman Cometh afterward.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 08:24 PM) The Olympics would allow for a major public transporation overhaul that's about 25 years overdue. By major overhaul you mean temporary shuttle buses which was proposed by the Chicago Olympic Committee.

We can call this the geog-off contest. uff

Those are just a few examples. I'll give you more when I have time.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 04:26 PM) And that goes along exactly with the equivalancy bulls*** that's inherent throughout this thread. You have NO CLUE what a conservative thinks if you think they're "selfish" compared to a liberal's "selfless", so you're talking out of your ass. My father is conservative. I know what he thinks. Lower taxes so that YOU can have more money. Screw poor people. They're just lazy. In fact, screw everyone. It's all about amassing as much wealth for yourself as possible. Screw the environment if it doesn't help YOU somehow...preferably financially.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 04:18 PM) That is the most pathetic quote I have ever read. If only it weren't inherently true.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 04:13 PM) Because liberals don't want to have a (MORAL) equivalancy, because that makes everything they do "right". The general framework of Liberalism vs Conservatism is selflessness vs selfishness.

I don't recall people bringing AK-47s to events where Bush spoke.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) So where were you during the Bush administration, when the exact same crap was going on in the violent hateful left wing of the Democratic party. Most of the stink caused by the far left back then turned out to be true. Link

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 02:43 PM) Yeah every "poll". Polling is a really inexact science. Unless I saw how they were running the polls, random phone calls, etc., its hard to make any real argument. From the people I know its mainly positive, but thats just my poll. Eww

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 02:31 PM) It was only a matter of time before Godwin's Law hit this thread. In a general sense it is amazing. All of the hate speech that was directed for eight years at the previous administration was held up as patriotic. Now the next administration hears the same sort of stuff, and somehow the right wing is going to go out and commit an ethnic slaughter of a few million people. Yeah, I wonder why political discourse in this country is no where to be found. Are you replying to the wrong thread?

Every recent poll I've seen shows a majority of Chicagoans are against it coming here.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 02:21 PM) I know you didn't SAY that but what's the next step in saying that "they're responsible" for whoever this f***tard was that killed this guy? That's more or less what you were (perhaps unclearly) perpetuating when you wrote what I repeated. At some point isn't there a moral responsibility for those that antagonize people that are easily manipulated?

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 24, 2009 -> 02:18 PM) If you'd like to concede the same thing for those army recruiters who got shot earlier this year then yeah sure. First of all, I don't know anything about that story and second, what does that have to do with this case?

And BTW you're in the minority. Most Chicagoans don't want the Olympics here.
