QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 09:34 PM) Based on what I know, Yes & No. It's really a mercy factor based on a person's goodness. Terri is personified as an angelic person right now with emblemished goodness. That drives the mercy factor thru the roof. That would apply to both euthanasia & r-t-d. The greater the assumption of goodness in the person the greater the mercy factor. With abortion there is no person. There is an unborn. There is no unique personhood when it comes to the mercy factor. So the mercy factor is split. There are those Christians who can't see goodness in something as general as unborn children. There are those Christians who see even greater goodness in unborn children. That's why even though there is a split those who see the goodness are far more zealous than those who don't. The death-penalty without question has the lowest mercy factor. Few Christians can see the goodness in these persons. The Vatican basically shows unconditional goodness for all persons & unborn regardless of circumstances. That's a hard thing for the average Christian. There are those who have to search for goodness here. I'm against the d-p because I find the goodness in the innocent. The process at which someone faces the d-p is not infailable. It's wrought with error. I read reports about d-p inmates being cleared all the time. The goodness of the wrongfully accused is what drives me against the d-p. Jesus taught us pretty Clearly to show love and mercy to all. Whether they are unborn, dying, brain dead, or child murders doesn't matter. "love thine enemy as thyself."

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) Not to shift the debate here, but something I thought of: If Bush is so pro-life then why did he execute so many people in Texas without even reading the sentencing reports? And why did he sign the 1999 law that says that people on Medicaid -- the hospitals get to choose to remove feeding tubes etc. and not doctors/family members if they can't afford to keep the help going? Let's not forget the hotly contested WMD claims in Iraq where many people didn't believe but he went with his leap of faith anyway...But suddenly he wants to "err on the side of caution"? And a bit more cynical -- why don't all the conservative Christians want to see Terri Schiavo in Heaven? I would tend to agree that this case falls in line with Christian beliefs more than any death penalty case. I talked to Wino a little about this, but I believe that 4 types of cases are all basically the same idea. Death Penalty Abortion Right to Die Euthinesia They are all instances where one human has to make a judgement for the worth of the life of another human, based on mitigating circumstances. My view of Christianity is that all of these should be something that a Christian would be against, as Christ makes it very clear that we do not posess the authority to judge another human beings life.

The Assistant He’ll jump the bar to help change a Keg, usually getting in the way. He puts the pool sticks back in the rack even if he isn’t playing, getting greasy fingers on every one of them. He means well. If this isn't Gage, I don't know who it is.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 08:41 PM) I disagree totally, it looked like he released his pitch too late like I have seen him do a hundred times. He has thrown pitches like that to left handed batters and it just looks like an outside fastball. Carlos was right on top of the plate and Damaso's release was late. There is no way he wanted to hit him, thats ridiculous. Like I said, the tilt of the pitch jumped at me. All of his pitches have the big sweeping action. They have that falling off of the table movement to them. This pitch was straight as an arrow, and went right for his hip/thigh. I have no idea why Damaso would want to hit him, but I really believe there was purpose to it. Especially with Damaso's defiant reaction to it all. If I had just hit an ex-teammate who was a buddy, I would have laughed about it, or motioned to him like I was sorry or it was an accident... especially in a ST game. Instead he stood on the mound and stared down Carlos. Why else would you react like that, in a meaningless game?

That's a fun list, in my mind I was already assigning peoples names I am definately the "lifer:

My next question is why is no one questioning the parents motives? With the links to bullemia, there might be some stuff to go off. There could very well have been abuse, and wanting to keep her alive could be an appeasement of their guilt. Why are we only questioning the husband here?

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) as far as "pornography" goes it wasn't that bad... it was just mardi gras/derby infield/girls gone wild type stuff.... and that's what happens at the party cove around the july 4th holiday as well as the labor day holiday every year... so yes there were pictures of nudity, but as far as "porn" I don't think so.... regardless... I've been warned and it won't happen again.... Exposing minors under 18 to those kind of pictures is actually illegal. That's why all of those sites make you click something saying that you are 18 in order to view it. But its cool. Live and learn.

Seeing his 40 time, the Bears have got to be thinking of Berlin as a deep threat.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 08:34 PM) I'd love Donyell back in Chicago. He was a good presence when here and is a solid player for what he does. And qwerty...get Gasol without giving any of the nucleus (Curry could be a part of it) and I'm definately down with it. Gasol would be an incredible scoring replacement for Eddy. We still could use Tyson, AD, and Harrington for bench and rebounding.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 08:35 PM) At least he played his ass off, but god is he the whiniest baby. Jalen is an incredible talent, but has no idea of the team concept. There is a reason he has never won anything at the NBA level.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 02:49 PM) The Bulls are 1-5 without Curry. Realize that was also with Hinrich hurt, and Deng out. You can't isolate that and say it is JUST Eddy.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 08:31 PM) What the fish? They were up by twenty something at the start of the fourth. I think they should be allowed to put some scrubs in there to finish off the game. Donyell also has interest in coming back which is awesome. Rose guaraunteed a win today. Four letters for Jalen. STFU

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 08:11 PM) Actually no, his remarks were more in the context of the Sox are trying to figure out what they can do with Borchard. DJ and Melton discussed Borchard today, and said he is doing quite a bit better, and sometimes a player who is roadblocked in one organization needs to be moved to another to get a chance. I wonder if they know something. Melton said the Sox have been patient with Borchard and it was his personal opinion that he'd like to see Borchard turn the corner in the White Sox organization. I think it's simple ... either they get a good trade offer for him, or he goes to Charlotte. I think we have to realize that a trade can be a good thing for a player. As much of a trooper as Joe has been, I honestly believe the Sox would look to give him an opportunity to succeed. In reality, he has no chance of ever being a starter for this team. They have too many OFer and top notch prospects, and they don't have the ABs to give him anymore.

With the day off between the first and second game, along with the RHP depth in the pen, this should be a nonissue.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 09:09 AM) I think Adkins and Borchard are the next cuts. I think we are 2 years away from seeing Anderson and Sweeney, but I think they will come up at the same time. Valdez isn't going to be too far behind either.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 08:19 PM) Chandler with a HUGE offensive board and putback. And Qwerty, without Curry the Bulls wouldn't be a playoff team. I could say that about a few guys on the Bulls and he's one of them. ZERO low post presence without him. Curry's offense is replaceable, much cheaper than what he will get in the offseason. If Eddy played hard for 40 minutes a night, no one would b****. That's all we really want from Curry. That is why he still spends the 4th quarter on the bench in his 3rd year in the NBA.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 08:11 PM) Why does matt bonner abuse eddy curry? Why does [insert name here] abuse Eddy Curry?

I think Blalock >>>Pedro, but I don't see it as vetoable. Its not like Pedro for Crede or something.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 07:25 PM) I considered going, but Opening Day weather has been SO s***ty the past few years that I talked myself out of it, and onto the sofa-recliner. I hope for your sake that the weather's nice this year, but I'll be enjoying the action from the best seat in my house. The very initial long term forcasts are actually predicting a warm up starting towards the middle to end of next week. My fingers are crossed.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 07:52 PM) It sure seems like it to me. He is turning into Maggs Part 2. Does anyone think Marte actually hit Carlos intentionally? All I've heard all spring is how they want Marte to go inside on righties so he doesn't struggle with them like he did last season. As a result, occasionally he is going to hit some batters. I saw the pitch and then the rest of Marte's inning and I have no doubt that Damaso hit Lee on purpose. That pitch was a fastball that was obvious and as straight as an arrow. Usually Dams pitches have a sweeping action to them, as did every pitch he threw the rest of the inning. That pitch was dead straight. He meant to hit him, and you could tell from his lack of remorse, quickly followed by definance.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) The backdrops in domes are real weird because they are football stadiums. It's a ton different because there is a ton of open area between the rim and the seats, not like most stadiums teams play at all year. I'm sure there's a more detailed explanation, but that's the main thing that is different about domes. It's not the actual dome part that affects it. Its all about depth perception. Because the backrounds are so much farther away in domes, the feeling of distance becomes different.

I'm gonna say we need at least 10 to draft a league. If we don't have more than that, it isn't worth it.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 07:06 PM) As I've been saying for a LONG time, that is NOT a nice, squeaky clean area. There's a ton of shady-looking people wandering the streets around there late at night. The violence and crime has nothing to do with the Cubs, but the propaganda machine would make you think that area is perfectly safe and family-friendly, and it's just not that way at all. And all you have to do is look at crime rates to know that.

Major life change, even good ones, are well known as stressors. Job change, babies, marriage, etc are all stressful events even when they are for the better.
