QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 10:05 AM) From the same website: How dare they give college students the OPTION to perform community service. LOL. Love the oversight.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 09:40 AM) Forcing them to do it when they dont want to is a bad thing. yes. A lot of them don't want to participate in phys ed either. Probably why we have the most unhealthy youth in the world for a nation as advanced as we are.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Nov 7, 2008 -> 09:40 AM) My son is FORCED to do 50 hours of community service just to graduate high school. For him, it is a good thing that he hasbeen doing it for years, so he has no problem with it. But if youare forced to do it against your will, what else would you call it? The flowery language might say 'call upon', but you know that it will somehow be manditory in order to graduate, or get governemtn benefits, or some other form of whip to make you do it. Aren't HS'ers "forced" to take a foreign language to graduate? It's not like you need it, heck you may never even use it, and I don't think it helps shape you as a person... but I do believe community service does. JMO.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) Friends By White Sox Association Which reminds me... I haven't gotten any new pics of Gia lately and IIRC she was getting a new friend this month...???

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) I am, that's why I tried to bring some humor into it. Basically to argue with people here...some who I consider friends and others who I consider FBWSA, over the governor of fricken Alaska's intelligence, is not something I'm interested in pursuing. Unless of course she invited me to spend a weekend with her in the hot springs of Alaska, in which case I would defend her til death for fulfilling my hot librarian/school teacher fantasy.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 01:15 PM) They wont, I read one of his daughters has allergies so it precludes them from adopting any animal that is not some what hypoallergenic. So its unlikely theyll just adopt a pet that may cause their daughter health problems. Certain breeds have less impact on allergies so theyd most likely pick one of those. Just because she has allergies doesn't mean they can't get a shelter dog. Many top breeds are also left at shelters by asshole owners. Many terrier mixes are considered good dogs for allergy suffers. As well as several breeds of Poodles, Pinschers, and Spaniels. Sadly popular shelter dogs. I'm sure it also depends on her allergy severity.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 12:36 PM) First, I'm a love sick puppy and now I'm some podunk. Suck it up. You weren't called either.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 11:52 AM) What makes me laugh is all the people who dislike Palin are running around saying "see?!?!" ... I don't like her either, but this is just nonsense. It's called "hit pieces". Who the heck is saying "see?!?!?!", and what exactly are they "seeing"? I see more of an appalled reaction more than anything else. Even the folks I know that really, REALLY "hated" her aren't saying "see..." And whatever you want to call it, it was fed from the horses mouth. They wrecked her and she did more to help them than to stop them.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 11:07 AM) On a side note: Is there a way to buy stock in dog breeds? The moment Obama picks a dog for his daughters, that will be the most popular breed in the US. I bet (hope) they will rescue a mix.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) No but the digging would have ensued and they would have found she doesn't subscribe to Time. Then the interviews with the cashier at the Wasilla shop and save would have concluded she never buys Time there, only the National Enquirer and US Magazine.... BTW, love that AHB is now quoting Fox News.... No but, no but, no but.... It's a shame we'll never know.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 10:26 AM) I agree with this sentence 100%, including the part about it making her look stupid. That's totally different from saying she "couldn't" name one, that's all my point is. Of course she could, but I'm sure she was thrown off a little like...wtf are you asking me what paper I read for? Then she's thinking, this is a trap question, if I say the Wasilla Times or something, I'll get ridiucled, but if I lie I'll get ridiculed. Her answers have consequences and she wasn't up to snuff on how to BS your way through a question yet. The question was specifically made to get her to say she doesn't read the NYT, WSJ or any main stream papers and she blew it and looked dumb. I agree with that, but that is different from acting like she is mentally incapable of forming the words to say what paper she reads. If any of us walked by her on the street 6 months ago and asked her what paper she read, I'm sure she would have answered in an instant. That's all I'm saying... Is that some sort of assumption of my words? I'm quite confident she has some common sense and is able to articulate on her thoughts so if you want to try to make it sound like my comment was to intend that she was too stupid to give a response then that, and your actions towards anyone who isn't following behind her like a love struck puppy, is transparent. And ridiculous. The fact that she couldn't respond to a freshman level political questions says a lot and opens the door for possibility on some of the latest wild accusations coming out to be true.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Nov 6, 2008 -> 09:03 AM) It's more complicated than that, but if you really believe that she couldn't name the newspaper she reads then so be it. If I really believe it...? I watched it. She couldn't do it. For whatever reason she chose to put on her frilly underpants and do another song and dance around a question that EVERY politician in this country should know how to answer at the drop of a hat. Ridiculous.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 09:13 PM) And I think a lot of it is just lies to make it "excusable" that they lost. All this just needs to go away. Like yesterday. That could be true. A response from Palin would be nice. Even something from McCain would be also. This stuff makes him look like a moron as well. But... this is a woman that couldn't name a newspaper she read on a daily basis. Nothing would surprise me.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) Yeah, my god, that interview is f***ing hilarious. My god. I can't believe what a clusterf*** the Repub's are right now. I'm ashamed.

Yet they were just fine with trying to get her elected.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 05:33 PM) That's not really what I was saying, but okay... Take my words out of context. It's not like I'm saying "f*** those people!" No you're not, but your mocking them for getting emotional and crying. Are you surprised - with all the effort and work several Dem's put into this election - that you're getting this response?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 03:10 PM) I just think it's interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff. Interesting, entertaining.. I agree and I can see why. I just hope it isn't dwelled on.

IMO, while entertaining to many, this stuff is so irrelevant.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) It is, we mods are human which is why I posted that in the open. Thanks. It enabled me to take a step back and think before posting another response to him.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) I would still go in the polling place past them and cast a ballot for Obama. I'd act like they weren't there. Ditto. I find those that make the bigger issue of it more dangerous than those dressed in the garb or carrying a big stick.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 02:43 PM) You're good at this point and clearly in-line IMO. Now if your answer had been refuted and then you kept pressing on with it to the point of being obnoxious that's different, but you're not. Just trying to carry out your argument. Obviously open to interpretation.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) I don't think so, he's just trying to make his point and get someone to answer his question. Although I don't think the logic is valid personally. Fair enough. Though when Sleepy opinioned that the logic was ridiculous I got his point.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 02:37 PM) I want evidence. I have it on DVD but I have heard it's on You Tube.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) I thought his previous response blew off of the question. That's why I asked him to clarify. Thanks for the help though. Of course you did. :rolleyessmiley
