QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Feb 2, 2009 -> 01:05 PM) Im making the comparison that through history laws have been made that have been later deemed unconstitutional. Black people were treated unfairly in the US for hundreds of years, the idea that the govt could regulate what was ingested by adults is relatively new in comparison. I believe that it is unconstitutional for the govt to regulate what adults ingest, unless there is a clear threat to public safety, or the drug is so powerful that ingestion can lead to immediate death. Other than that, I believe the govt does not have the right to stop an adult from taking things. I think the case and point of this is alcohol. Alcohol is one of the only known substances to be harmful to basically every human organ, there are no health benefits, yet I can go buy as much alcohol as I want. On the other hand, whatever Roger Clemens was taking seems to have actual health benefits. It made his body stronger and him able to recover faster, he could compete at the age of 40 like he was much younger. First, the government did make alcohol illegal and it only increased crime did not deter use. Prohibition eventually ceased. So to use your comparison, most of the country would have to rebel against the prohibition on HGH in order to make it legal. That will never happen because most people don't use it. Second, alcohol has consistently been shown to have health benefits particularly in reducing heart disease. Moderation is key. Obviously it has detrimental effects as well, but you Third, HGH has legal uses which highlight its benefits and limit its risks. The government is attempting to prevent those who don't need it from using it.

QUOTE (Jake @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) The main problem with this is when the young athlete sees this and says hey I guess I can smoke and still be an elite athlete because Michael Phelps is the best ever in an endurance sport AND he smokes! At the very least, his sponsors will see it that way. The only reason this is a story is because he probably just threw away millions of dollars by smoking weed.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Feb 1, 2009 -> 10:55 AM) I dont know about you guys, but it seems like every page I am on now, CNN, suntimes, espn, SI, etc, all feature this NASTY AD and I am sick of looking at it! Yup. I would love to know how much it costs to advertise like that.

Thanks! I went to a beer festival. Pretty sweet.

For anyone with Time Warner, it looks like you get it without ordering.

Just in time for my birthday!

QUOTE (dpd9189 @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 06:27 PM) hamburgers. Buster Olney has the same bad gut feeling as me. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=3867365 The logic makes no sense. According to him Vitters and Heilman is somehow better than Vitters and Olsen?

I saw Slumdog Millionaire on Sunday. That is a great movie. The best I've seen in a long time.

School's closed!

Also, fantasy sports. Stop telling me about your damn team, I don't give a s***.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 07:17 AM) So how can they prove that it will not break down? I believe I have a first gen and it is scratched up, so can I fill this out to get some money? My gf bought a refurbished one for $60. Perhaps she could fill one out as well? If you go to the website they have listed, there is an place to put in the ipod serial number to check if it's affected.

Looks legit. If you go to the ipodnanosettlement.com site, go to the FAQ and scroll down you will see the attorneys on the case. hagens-berman.com/ If you have questions, call them.

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jan 20, 2009 -> 07:06 PM) bump- does anyone know the answer to this question? The CBA does not provide an answer. I would guess you have until the beginning of the next season, but it might literally go on forever if the player never retires.

Saw Revolutionary Road yesterday. Not good. The movie is American Beauty with less interesting characters and worse story telling. Last week I saw Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express. PE was decent, but nothing special. Tropic Thunder was god-awful.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 05:02 PM) seriously wtf does the pilot tell everyone??? does he say we are gonna try to land in the water? and if so how does the entire cabin not erupt in disapproval? I mean he has to say something, right? man wow that woulda been awful to be in the cabin when that happened He literally only said "brace for impact." or something to that effect.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) This pilot just sing handedly rewrote the textbook on water landings. From what I've heard, he followed the textbook to a "T."

It's scary that a bird can bring down a plane. I always knew that was possible, but it's rare.

CNN is talking to a passenger. He said everyone is alive. Sounds like they all got out or are getting out.

Seems like the interior is not leaking. But the doors are now submerging.

Hypothermia will set in before that plane sinks.

So apparently his wife also filed for divorce the day before the flight because he was sleeping around. Meanwhile, his wife is very attractive...at least in the picture on the Today show.
