QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 4, 2009 -> 05:54 AM) For marijuana, I'd like to stop them too - by legalizing it. sounds good to me

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2009 -> 04:11 PM) We're owed at least one. You guys have 4 of them. The Dems on the court currently are leftists on a number of social issues but the court is still very conservative economically. Even the liberals. you have 4 already and Obama will merely be replacing one of them. by the way, do you guys know whom named Souter to the court? it was G Bush I and it's often cited as a reason both parties now want to make sure their nominee is going to tow the party line.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) For #2 you could easily insert the name Alito and it would fit the same, except he was confirmed. That guy is nothing more than a conservative politcal windsock, which is the opposite of what you want for a SCOTUS justice. Obama is goign to put in a pro-Democrat windsock. what else is new.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:52 PM) Really, this was just silly. It's not even a clever insult at us. well i wasn't referring to you guys of course

Obama might as well just put Dr.Phil on the supreme court. It's the kind of move many of his constituents demand.

QUOTE (Texsox @ May 3, 2009 -> 07:01 AM) Would you eliminate then all *investigations* like this? i would

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 1, 2009 -> 07:27 PM) Where'd I leave that straw man at.... "I'm right here, playing golf or something."

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 11:41 AM) It's the democrats fault! well, if thats the case, i will give credit where credit is due. good job Democrats.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ May 2, 2009 -> 07:50 AM) I read this morning that after a "yearlong investigation" dubbed "Operation Thunder Strike," University of Illinois police arrested some 25 people, including members of the ZBT, Beta Theta PI and TKE fraterntities, for drug posession and dealing, and confiscated a whopping 180 grams of marijuana. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/c...0,5928476.story http://www.dailyillini.com/news/campus/200...embers-detained Two questions: Do any of our Illini posters know anyone effected? After a year's investigation (albeit one with a really cool name), how is it that the best the campus cops could do in arresting 25 persons (during or shortly before Finals, I assume) is seize less than half a pound of pot? a total waste of resources.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 1, 2009 -> 02:58 PM) Bondholders are investors. Investors take on risk. They expect equities to be honored, but also accept the risk of default. You can't have it both ways. i agree with you. investors in chrysler are screwed, thats how it works when your investment goes belly up.

they don't need another 8 billion to go bankrupt.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 1, 2009 -> 11:28 AM) I don't think anybody's debating that either unbiased, but to act like one is different than another or that MSNBC is "worse" than Fox is pretty pointless, even borderline stupid. You could go in circles for hours with those arguments. well then I agree, they're basically the same just from different political spectrums.

QUOTE (Chet Lemon @ May 1, 2009 -> 08:41 AM) If that were even .0001 true, they would not have Pat Buchanan, Joe Scarborough, and Tom DeLay on their network every day. Both MSNBC and FOX have people of dissenting views which appear on air; this still doesn't balance each networks' partisan political advocacy.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 1, 2009 -> 06:52 AM) Fox News is extremely hateful and will continually attack anyone who disagrees with them and refuse to insult Obama. There's a reason why they are in the s***ter. FOX news might be total hackery as far as news goes, but they have excellent ratings. they're not really in the 's***ter'.

MSNBC or FOX aren't even remotely unbiased news channels. Is there really any reason to debate something this obvious?

Another 8 billion pissed away. President Obama, please stop giving Chrysler billions of dollars.

oh nice will look great on my desktop

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 03:54 PM) What NOT to do. lol thanks for the tip

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) Closing down the borders would sure screw all those companies employing illegal immigrants that work for pathetic wages. well we certainly can't let that happen!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 29, 2009 -> 12:56 PM) What do you think our economy has been built on the last 20 years? it's really amazing that people actually think the current levels of government and consumer debt is healthy.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 29, 2009 -> 06:22 PM) I seriously just ran into a lady at Walgreens wearing a face mask.
