QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Jan 30, 2007 -> 03:00 PM) Funny Story... A few years ago, a woman said to me, while I was working, "you look like a big Reuben guy". I looked at her and said, "actually, I don't really like sauerkraut that much." She looked at me like I had grown a third eye, and then explained the Ruben Studdard phenomenon to me. Clearly, I'm ignorant when it comes to American Idol, and I'm cool with that.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 30, 2007 -> 08:30 AM) I would actually say your post was more waaaaaaaaaaaawaaaaaaaaaaaaa mean old dems. my post never mentioned the Dems. my post mocked the link texsox posted. i would say that the vast majority of democrats would also find the link he posted ridiculous. QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 30, 2007 -> 07:23 AM) Yep, amazing a Psych Grad student using a Psych term. Wow, that is amusing. to some. being a psych grad is amusing in it's self. I can't imagine the scholarly intellect that must go into such an endeavor. i keed ! i keed! ok, i'm leaving the 'Dem only' thread, never to return. if u wish to post a smart-alecky retort, please do so in GOP only. well, atleast until i get kicked off that thread for not being conservative enough. then just send me an email telling me how dumb i am.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 29, 2007 -> 08:14 AM) wtf is this doing in this thread? And, I would be really curious to see who the top 5 posters in this thread are. Really curious. I believe the Freudian term is: reaction formation. . . haha, jump to conclusions much? you may want to actually follow the thread and click on links to which posts are responding before throwing a internet temper tantrum. meh, or just keep being a spaz. either way is fine with me. but i do like your attempt to show wit by using a Freudian term. it's very amusing. QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 29, 2007 -> 11:08 AM) I interpreted that piece as highlighting America's sad descent toward a fascist state, not equating Bush with Hitler. lol, c'mon dude. 2 + 2 = 4. you know what conclusion the link was getting at. who is running the country during this "fascist uprising"? i was trying to point out how stupid it is to constantly compare things that a person may not like to fascist Germany.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 28, 2007 -> 08:22 AM) The Dems will find this amusing. Link or chilling I'd suggest the GOPerheads around here not click on the link. Here is a list of Hitler's public stances. So now you too can accuse just about ANYONE of being Hitler!! for abortion capital punishment socialism censorship Christianity eugenics nationalism euthanasia genocide gun control Leni Riefenstahl films racial purity vegetarianism against gypsies Jews feminism Freemasonry democracy "degenerate" art atheism capitalism communism labor unions miscegenation nudism Pacifism Poles pornography prostitution psychoanalysis Slavs smoking

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 28, 2007 -> 06:06 PM) I love this. Totally unable to provide an example, but your only evidence is a guarantee based on how your gut feels. A very great man once created a word for that. "Truthiness". haha, you rely of Colbert too much as your main news source. Honestly, I am just too lazy to Google and find examples. If you think my observations of the media are incorrect, so be it.

QUOTE(Damen @ Jan 28, 2007 -> 05:50 PM) Step away from the media conspiracy ledge for a little while, and use some common sense first. This is a local story only for a reason. You think any scandal or crime committed by a lone Republican state senator gets national attention? I can't think of any... if it was a Republican it's national news, i can gaurantee you that. Common sense? c'mon, you're a democrat, you don't want to talk about that. Democrat common sense in slogan form: NO OIL FOR OIL! BUSH IS WORSE THAN HITLER AND KILLED 50 TIMES MORE PEOPLE! COMMUNISM, NOT GUNS!! NO OIL FOR OIL! RUMSFELD FLEW A JET INTO THE WORLD TRADE CENTER!

You have to read down to paragraph 16 before AP mentions that he is a D. Guess party affiliation isn't that important to AP. didn't you know? only Republican scandals are legit news. this won't get any media attention. doesn't fit the MSM political view of "Democrats = good".

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 18, 2007 -> 08:47 PM) Our media here is too politically correct to have a undercover item like this. most of the US news media have no journalist integrity. political agendas trump accurate news.

great game i'd like to see a bears vs colts matchup

Lock Box! think Al Gore will run for president in 2008?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 20, 2007 -> 01:59 PM) On the other hand, the Patriot Act is a particularly bad case, they basically made it magically appear during the night and had it passed before anyone even had a chance to open the book. thats exactly how it happened

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 04:30 PM) 4. It's become too political. It's posturing. It's the Dems saying 'look at us, unlike those straight-laced money-hungry fascist pig Republicans, we care about the environment, so we're gonna create this panel to look into it.' totally. way too political.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) But, it would also involve the U.S. actually signing a treaty presumably, which would show the U.S. actually reaching out to the rest of the world to do something for the good of the world, for the first time in a long time. yea, but often times countries sign onto things like this with no intention of following through. but yea, if it was a global effort it would work.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 04:12 PM) The interesting thing about CO2 is that a cap and trade type system would almost certainly work, and work well, if it were set up globally. A global treaty, say signed in a Japanese city, sets up a system where each country is given a goal to reach in terms of decrease in CO2 output compared to today, and countries which decrease faster than the current rate wind up turning a profit by selling their credits to countries that decrease more slowly. That sort of system doesn't work for some pollutants, like Mercury, that hang around in one spot, but because CO2 is so well mixed in the atmosphere, I think it would actually be fairly effective if we could get the major powers in the world to join in (and the developing world would actually have motivation to join as well, because they'd have the opportunity to turn a profit just by cleaning up) sounds good to me. a t-shirt at walmart might be $10 instead of $3.50, but i'm ok with that. remember though, many countries will see this as another attempt as the United States imposing their will on other countries. may cause resentment. also, just blaming the United States for other countries pollution is fairly weak. countries need to take responsibility for their own problems. believe it or not, the United States is not the source of all evil in the universe.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) So let me ask this, do you think that if the U.S. started using its economic power as a negotiating tool to force developing nations to enforce Carbon limits as they develop, or set up a cap-and-trade system such that countries which clean up their act even more are further rewarded, it would be an inhumane thing? i do not think it would be inhumane. i also support import tariffs on chinese goods to help american manufacturing. their labor practices and trade policies give them illegal trade advantages.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 03:48 PM) we already embargo nations for other political reasons, there is absolutely nothing from stopping the U.S. from using its economic power to motivate nations to clean up their act. of course. but aren't you against embargo's? remember, they are inhumane tools of the white male oppressor. like the ones cuba has to endure. it's not castro's fault cuba is poor, it's america's.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 03:48 PM) a large chunk of the non-U.S. pollution is created to send products to the U.S. ah, so thats the excuse the left will use to let china off the hook for pollution. i was wondering what it would be. of course, it's america's fault.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 19, 2007 -> 02:50 PM) Scientists: 1000 to none. I'll go with the scientists over political talking heads, especially when they are that overwhelmingly sure. me too. but i'd be careful not to blindly believe everything they say. many of these scientists to have a financial gain in additional global warming research. reminds me of the Y2k issue. as a computer scientist i had huge doubts that the 'mass doom and gloom" senerio was at all likely. well, needless to say that was not a popular opinion especially seeing that many computer scientists were making coin off the whole Y2K thing. it was a problem, just not as large as predicted. i think global warming is real, but i'm not really sure about the scientific predictions off mass extinction within 20 years.

Ozzy - Tribute really like the guitar work. Randy Rhoads was great.

So, a television station in the UK did a undercover report in mainstream moque's in that country. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?en...Mosque&only i'm not suprised by what they found.
