QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 11:58 AM) Sadly the most vocal people (or the people the media wishes to grace with the spotlight) are the people who support his theory. And they make assholes of themselves every time they open their mouths. It's rather comical.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 11:00 AM) (A) it's good to know we have someone of perfect moral fiber on the board. That's always nice to have. I thought Jesus was the only one who was truly perfect, but I guess we've found another. (B) I think you're reading into his comments a little too much. He said blacks stick to their people in these situations. Why is this such a shocker? I really doubt he meant every last man and woman always sides with people of their own race, but the majority do. Again, look at OJ. And again, look at my example of being a football fan. Everyone does it. ©I love the comedian Patrice O'neals comments on this stuff: If we can all just admit we're all a little racist, the world would be a better place. I'm not perfect, faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr, very very faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from it, though I do make a conscience decision not to make asshole generalizations about people, especially people I don't know or associate with. I read his comments and intrepreted them as he wrote them - and as he cleared up with a follow up post as well. He thinks the AA population as a WHOLE supports this s***. His words, not mine. If he didn't generalize, I don't bother commenting about how ignorant his words were. Again, maybe everyone in your world does it. Explains perfectly why you support his comments.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 10:16 AM) I find that jesse jackson and the NAACP spokespeople are not a very good representation of the black community. I have a lot of AA friends and co-workers and most of them have called both him and Al some colorful names over the past months. Most of it over their stupidity regarding the Imus thing.

Vandy, valid point. However you still wouldn't be so inclined with your limited contact with the AA race to make such a generalization (at least I hope you wouldn't, I am assuming ) - which is my point.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 09:14 AM) Well with all of the rain this summer, my backyard looks great. The wife has been planting perennials in the backyard sign we moved in 4 years ago. With the conditions being so tropical it looks like the Amazon back there now. Our vegetable garden has never looked so good. All of the plants have grown to record levels, and we have started picking some of the vegetables. And with the plants and flowers come the weeds. I walked on the other side of the house last night and it looked like something out of little shop of horrors over there in just a week. So much for spending a s***load of $$ on Preen.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2007 -> 09:28 AM) Honestly, I dont think a majority of black people follow the NAACP and their beliefs. I honestly havent come across a single person who has mentioned that this is race related etc. I also have not encountered one person who has said anything remotely close to this being a race issue.

"White guilt"...? Not quite. The racism is clear as day on the screen in black and white. You defending it speaks volumes, though. And no, we're not ALL guilty of making disgusting ASSumptions about others IN or OUT of ones race. Maybe the world YOU live in is full of judgemental assholes, but where I CHOOSE to associate is far from anything like that. Lumping in an ENTIRE race and calling them guilty of dumbing down a race shows the true stupidity of the one doing the generalizing.

I've emptied water out of the pool 3 times since Saturday, and it's not supposed to stop raining at night until Saturday!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 10:51 PM) Every poll ever taken among african americans about their opinions of everything from O.J. to Vick, along with what every person of prominence in their community says, supports what I'm saying. It may be contoversial, but it holds a lot of water. You are so vile.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 05:11 PM) If your wowing the term African-American as a race because I used it wrong, sorry I'm still working on my grammar. If your wowing the content of that statement, keep wowing. The majority of black people ALWAYS support their own, even if the damn crime is on videotape or something, for the sole purpose of not letting the evil white people that had them as slaves 2 centuries ago win (and btw, almost any white person would say they are embarassed about how we treated blacks in the past, but we can't control it either). "Stop snitching, can't take the boy out the hood", getting mad at Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods for not being the next Martin Luther King, it's all the same anti-white person nonsense and racism in it's own way. I have spent most of my life being colorblind and for the most part I'm still that way, but the way black people act when anybody in their race of significance gets in trouble is a joke, a complete joke. I'm "wowing" it because it was ignorant to lump in the entire AA race in the manner you did. I'll "wow" next at your further asinine statement that the MAJORITY of "black people" support their own. How many "black people" did you poll on this matter, and would you care to share your scientific results? There are bad people of every race. You've spent "most"of your life being colorblind...? Well maybe you should head back that way. Your racism is disgusting.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 02:06 PM) To compare hunting and dog fighting is mind boggling. I admit up front I never have nor will hunt (I've never even touched a real gun before), but it takes all kinds of licencing and practice just to be able to hunt legally, and a large amount of hunting, the majority in fact, is for the simple sake of population control. Plus, hunting doesn't involve weeks of training and torture like dog fighting does for the animals. The African-American race as a whole is doing more to set back race relations than any group I've ever seen, they are BEGGING others to hate them. And by others, I mean ANYBODY who isn't black, that is white people, hispanics, asians, middle easterners, everybody. Wow.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 03:01 PM) If this is going across state lines he should be extremely careful with what he does. That adds a whole new aspect to it. The car is coming back to Illinois FWIU.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 02:37 PM) I was thinking he could remove his daughter's name if he is able to show the bank that she is unable/unwilling to pay, and that he will make the payments until he can sell the vehicle. The bank already knows that. I don't think they care regardless. they just want their money. FWIU, with the default letter from the bank he can sell the car to carmax or a private owner with just his sig. Although all that's moot if the title says "or", which hopefully it does.

QUOTE(Middle Buffalo @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 02:20 PM) In Arizona, you can petition the lien holder to remove a name from the title. http://www.azdot.gov/mvd/faqs/scripts/faqs.asp?section=tr (See #20 & 4) It would seem that you could do the same in Illinois. Similar question regarding car titles. If someone abandons a vehicle on my property (it's a rental property), is there a way for me to legally take position and title of the vehicle? He'll still be the co-signer on the the loan though. It seems to be better that he's on the title. That way he can at least get it back and sell it minimizing his loss. If he wasn't he'd be screwed paying it, or letting it ruin his credit without being able to do anything about it.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 11:43 AM) My brother wasn't talking to us at the time, either. Luckily, my father had a spare set of keys so we just went and took it one night. My brother didn't contest it. Your friend's dad could try having some keys cut at a local Mitsu dealership if he's got the title. It's not a Mitsu so I don't know how much good that will do. The car is in Georgia now so it's not like he can just drive on over there. Apparently she is willing to give it back to the bank so hopefully that works out and there wont be a big hassle.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 10:40 AM) I was just thinking that with Steffs current status as "with child", maybe she should change her group from "The Doables!" to "Done" LOL. You aren't the first one to suggest that. Someone has to ask RPS's permision though since he's the owner of that trademark.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 10:53 AM) A similar situation happened between my parents and my older brother. My father had the legal right to take the car from my brother, as my brother was no longer making payments and broke their verbal contract. That's the feedback they are getting. However, this daughter is kinda the "black sheep" of the family and the communication lines aren't exactly open between her and her dad. I don't think it would be a nice exchange if he were to go knock on her door and ask for the keys. Hopefuly the bank can help them. At least authorize a repo to get the car back to her dad so he can try to sell it or something. If I had to pay for a car I wasn't using I would be beyond pissed so I can imagine what he's feeling.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 04:22 AM) Complete bulls***. Prove that Thome is unclutch Prove that the 2005 White Sox won the World Series and the 2006 didn't because of chemistry, not because of pitching. Everyone knows the only reason we didn't repeat was because Aaron wasn't on the team. :rolleyes

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 22, 2007 -> 08:45 AM) The bank has the first right to it as you alluded to. However, he is responsible on the note as well and if they are not making payments, he becomes the person they turn to to make the the payment... with that in mind, he just needs to go get the damn thing. From what I understand he is going to try to seek help from the bank, but they really don't care as long as the note is being paid. Hopefully they will help so that he doesn't have to risk a confrontation.

Friends dad co-signed a car loan for the other daughter here in Illinois. She then moved out of state. Since has stopped making the car payment. He IS on the title, not just the co-signer. Does he have legal right to go get the vehicle since they aren't paying the note? Is there a legal process (I have not found anything other than hiring a repo man online and even that has to be done via the leinholder from what I can tell), or does he just go get it?

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Aug 21, 2007 -> 03:02 PM) Nope. (Edit: I mean, he IS a dick. Just about the image.) http://www.snopes.com/photos/advertisements/michaelvick.asp Thanks for the correction.

What a dick

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 20, 2007 -> 02:06 PM) Geek Squad said it wasn't going to be worth fixing. Got a new desktop, Compaq. Day one, thing comes up with the "blue screen of death" 3 times in 2 hours. Take that one back, now on this new (x2) one. They were able to salvage all my old stuff which was nice. I'm on Vista now and I feel like I'm on crack while trying to use this thing. Vista takes some getting used to. I've been playing with it for a little over a week and I'm starting to figure out the short cuts. It runs a ton faster than XP though, which I love.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 04:58 PM) Apparently, one of the co-defendents is ready to testify that Vick killed numerous dogs HIMSELF, both by hanging and drowning. What a sick asshole. His NFL career is over. Thank god. The initial indictment states this and also alleges that he personally threw a dog to the ground several times as a means of killing it.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 17, 2007 -> 02:46 PM) In no way was I referring to anything you said....sorry for any confusion. OK. Just don't want anyone to think those ideas have anything to do with him.
