QUOTE (ScottPodRulez22 @ Dec 26, 2008 -> 01:36 PM) Blu rays have a protective coating too so most scratches don't happen(said to be able to stand up to steel wool). All my games bottoms look brand new. nice. thats a great feature to have built into those discs

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 26, 2008 -> 01:19 PM) 2000 Big Macs is real bad. A few Big Macs isn't. With cigarettes, most people have a few, and are hooked. So just a few cigarettes ends up being bad for a large percentage of people. So I don't put them in nearly the same category of how "bad" they are. that's a good point. i've seen some recent studies that suggest high sugar and high fat foods are super addictive, but in a few weeks i'll probably see a study that says big macs cure cancer. i guess my overall point of view on this kind of stuff is that people are responsible for their own health (within reason of course) and they have the right to do stuff that is bad for them.

QUOTE (IrishSoxFan @ Dec 26, 2008 -> 01:22 PM) I think this is what happened to my Madden game. What are you gonna do? I'm pretty sure you can get the disc resurfaced and it will be fine. not sure what i can do, i went to Gamestop and they told me that the resurfacing thing they have sucks and it wouldn't help me out. i tried some home remedies i read about on the internet to fix scratched cd's, but none if it worked. i might just be out of luck, maybe i'll just replace my busted madden 09 with a cheap used madden 08.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 26, 2008 -> 12:48 PM) And so it should be. Cigarettes are far more dangerous than Big Macs. Obesity is real bad, people that are really fat are pretty much doomed to bad health and early death.

the scratched disc thing with xbox 360 does suck. i was playing it yesterday and my sister was over and barely moved the console and it went crazy and scratched my madden game rendering it unplayable.

I was playing Madden the other day and someone moved the Xbox360. The Xbox360 scratched the Madden disc. Anyone have this happen and successfully fix the disc?

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 24, 2008 -> 11:51 PM) http://www.minnpost.com/davidbrauer/2008/1...car_story_false Think I'll stick with the Wall Street Journal on this one. This Brauer guy, and his story, seem kind of bogus. It's actually turning out to be one of the most suspicious elections in senate history.

I'm all for making Marijuana legal, but I don't see it happening anytime soon.

QUOTE (jenks45monster @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 05:40 PM) I've heard that a lot of people have mechanical problems with their 360's. Anybody on here have this problem? I haven't had any issues

QUOTE (jenks45monster @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 05:37 PM) Sports for the most part. I've been disappointed with the sports games for my Xbox360. Think maybe I bought the wrong ones. I have the new Madden and MLB2k8. Getting a hoops game soon and it better be good.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 11:15 AM) The Minnesota Canvassing board today allocated the remainder of the challenged/dropped challenged ballots, and as of this moment, Al Franken unofficially leads by 48 votes. There are 2 remaining legal challenges that must be settled. The Coleman campaign is arguing that there is a group of ballots that were counted twice on election day because of various issues (discussed at length by Silver here). The Franken campaign is arguing that there are 1000 or so absentee ballots that were improperly excluded in the count. this is such a train wreck. just give Franken his bogus win and move on. hopefully he makes a complete ass out of himself and i'll have some fodder for my posts.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 04:39 PM) Well there is also some evidence that perhaps Georgia was not as innocent as they claimed. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/worl...icle5114401.ece There is also something about in November the US coming out and saying that Georgia's response was a mistake. I cant find the actual press release so Im not going to quote it, but it appears that Georgia was not as innocent as once believed. It just shows how easily most American's are willing to accept that Russia are the "bad guys". The truth in these scenarios really do boil down to a classic realists view of world events in which countries act mainly out of self interest. Of course, there is also the 'blame America and it's allies for everything, no matter what the majority of evidence shows'; there is of course American national interest, which our country (like all others) pursues. I will definitely agree with you that it is not as simple as 'evil America' or 'Russia is evil'. Both have agendas. a pretty good evaluation of the situation, from a ex-Clinton guy http://abcnews.go.com/Business/Story?id=5595811&page=1

QUOTE (lostfan @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 01:40 PM) I don't know about you guy, but Bush 41 throwing up on the Japanese prime minister was f***ing hilarious. poor guy, was sick and all. or was he.... i think a conspiracy theory is due

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 01:25 PM) “It starts with the taking over of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, which has already happened. It goes on to the destruction of the Georgian armed forces, which is now happening. The third [development] will probably be the replacement of the elected government, which is pro-Western, with a puppet government, which will probably follow in a week or two.” —Charles Krauthammer, Fox News, Aug. 11, 2008 ---------- This was a shockingly prevalent fear back in August among a lot of Americans. Russia is big and scary grrrr Krauthammer did not take into consideration the strong support the Georgian government would get. The Russians now are still trying their power moves with their sad naval exercises; sending war ships around to South America and off our coasts to Cuba. I'm sure there will be more shenanigans in Eastern Europe, they'll likely test Obama and will probably be disappointed when they find out he's not going to abandon NATO allies. They are trying to show how strong they are, but it's failing. It's fairly surprising to hear people who support the Russians moves, but I suppose it should come as no surprise as some (a very small minority of people) feel a communist doctorial government is necessary for true social justice.

HAHA! f*** yea typical Bears, block a kick to save their ass.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 10:02 PM) Or air time/ print space. Seriously, has Kristol been right about anything in the past decade? And yet he's still on TV week-in, week-out. truth is you can find a number of political 'experts' on tv or print that miss the mark very often. even though he has a lot of competition, Bill Krystol is still tough to beat when it comes to being wrong about stuff.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=08...;show_article=1 haha, good old New York Times. Always printing false news.

Bill Krystol has the amazing ability to be wrong, constantly.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) Really they did more negotiating with him, than vice versa. His policy's really put them into a position of power because they were scared s***less at a few of his programs. They also were put at a huge disadvantage after Reagan cut their economic heart out by demolishing the prices of commodities that the USSR depended on for cash. Reagan definitely negotiated from a position with leverage. But his willingness to give concessions just shows that he was willing to work with them and legitimately wanted to make the world a safer place. The only thing he wouldn't give up was the missile defense system, which the Russians hated and still do to this day.
