I switched to Saturday at 12:30 pm CST. All weekend it basically open, but I avoided Sunday because of Easter. I figure most people would rather watch or be at the Illinois game, sorry if this hurts anyone.

s*** I didn't even realize that. Let me look at new draft times.

QUOTE(T R U @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) it was a racial slur if you took it that way, but refering to the previous post that was talking bout ghetto girls it went right along.. If the thread wasnt in a joking manner and I was just being hateful about it yeah I can see that but like I said, just delete my post.. I dont appreciate you editing what I said.. If you felt it was inappropriet and not tolerated, then just delete the whole thing.. Thats all I am asking.. That is actually standard operating procedure. Unless a post is wholy inflamatory, a mod will just edit out the single offending part. That is the way we have always handled these situations, and we will continue to operate in this manner. Both Aboz and QP did exactly what the mods and admins have decided as a group to do in these situations, and all of the admins/mods approve of this.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Mar 23, 2005 -> 01:23 PM) and 18 year olds cant/dont look at porn? Just because they do on their own doesn't mean we condone it. It is actually illegal to provide pornographic materials to kids under 18, and by leaving those kind of posts up on the site, that would indirectly involve Soxtalk in an illegal activity. We don't ask for a lot from you all. We don't allow nudity, personal attacks, and anything discriminatory. After that, pretty much anything goes. And I think if you look around the net, we are pretty liberal for what we do allow. The vast majority of sites, especially baseball message boards, don't allow you near the leeway that we do.

AND GET WELL SOON!!!

When Manchester College made the Division 3 Final Four in basketball, it was in Buffalo NY. And you are right, Buffalo reminded me of a big Detroit. I also was through there on the way to Niagra. Lets just say Buffalo isn't on my return visits list.

That is really sweet! Keep us posted when it is ready.

Our resident Army Stud Good to see you are still safe. Stay healthy and get your ass back here for some ballgames and beers!!!

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) So in your opinion can anything be done to help prevent this? What about mandatory guidance counseling? I know you didn't ask me, but one big thing they could do is to change the way their make teachers. I have first hand knowledge of two "teachers" colleges and many teachers end up that way because they failed at another major, and to keep them in school they have them become a teacher. (You can't make it in premed, teach bio in elementary school) We need to have our brightest educating our children. Another thing we HAVE to do is end the socio-economic discrimination that is local property tax funding of schools. Since the federal government seems to want to educate our kids now, they need to sit down, and figure out a way to make the intercity schools as well funded as the white suburban schools.

You can always look at it this way. if we have one more Jon Garland on our team any of the last few years, we win the division easy.

I love the Shingo and Garcia one. "Jalapeno or Wasabi, either way you are going to get burned"

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) Why? It's illegal for someone to record what you say... Not if the Feds were tipped off about it and they had a legal wire tap. Don't forget a couple of things here. The big one being that any monetary transfer over $10,000 requires a filing with the IRS and that taxes be filed on it. Laugh all you want, but that is how they brought down Al Capone. The IRS doesn't f*** around. If they don't have you recorded saying something, it becomes my witness vs your witness in a courtroom. Don't lose track of the fact that not only was this against NCAA rules, these actions were a federal crime by not only the offerers of the money, but also the acceptors of it, if it would have happened. This is bigger than someone getting someones mom a cushy job. If the involved parties were interested in breaking the laws, they shouldn't have been surprised when they got in trouble for it. In reality they sound like they were lucky for as little trouble as they got into.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) Do they already have a "next in line" picked..?? IIRC the College of Cardinals would meet and vote for his successor. It is a very secretive process, in which there are no public canditates, and no one states their interest in the position. Rumors a while ago that they want to appoint a Latino or African Pope to try to reach out to more non-Euro people. I don't know if that is still relevant or not.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) Well get to work on it ya deadbeat... Talk to the money men on that one

QUOTE(doUrememberwhen @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) any way to do auto refresh here? Nope, sorry.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) I know -- I'm just trying to make my "Professional Issues for Teachers" class seem somewhat relevent since this is the first time I've gotten to use any information that I spent the entire semester learning. It'd be great for schools to have all these resources but as you've noted the parents want the teachers and the schools to do all these things -- but at the same time, as is ocurring in my home town right now -- voting down tax referendums to adequately fund schools to meet all these demands. People keep voting with their wallets rather than what's best -- and thats something we both can agree on. See to me, the fact that they are involved in some aspects of a students private lives means that they should be involved in the ones that could get people killed. If you have time to open someones backpack to search for drugs, they have the time to prevent the next Dylan Klebold from killing his classmates. Why are the limited resources not being used to prevent kids who are giving off obvious signs, like this kid in MN, some real help? That is what bugs me. Schools have routinely tried to do things that would be clearly be unconstitutional outside of the school walls, but when it comes to a students mental well being, it is avoided like the plague. They have no problem sending home a note that saids Johny needs new glasses, but when Johny talks about shooting up the school, nothing happens. To me that is negligence. And no doubt I agree with you on the last sentence.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 02:37 PM) This really hurts the Giants. His presence in the lineup completely alters the game. Unless there's a stud outfield prospect in the their system, Sabean may need to initiate a trade. Everett anyone? And when you look at the guys that they signed in the off season, there could be an easy scenario where they lose 100 games. They signed Alou and Vizquel who are both almost 40, and have had some real injury problems, plus their ace is Jason Schmidt who has had his own earlier injury problems. They have a couple of pitchers coming off of serious injuries, and they have some injury prone regulars on top of it all. This could be a disaster by the bay this year.

QUOTE(shakes @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 02:17 PM) Mark said his next start will be the 29th.

Apu-Understand that I am not agreeing with it. I don't like it at all. But I see it is a fact of life. Being married to a teacher, I see everything that happens on the inside of the high school here. I don't see students rights as being worth much with the way that the rules are enforced. And when you factor in that with that, these kind of kids are routinely ignored, even with more ablility to intervene than outside of the schools wall, I think the schools have a higher obligation to act on these kind of problems.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) You involved me in your post! That gives me the right! What is obvious is my post referring to it as SARCASM. That' what's obvious. When you prove me wrong, let me know. If it has any basis in logic I'll accept it. In the process be sure to look over the entire thread to save us all some time. As for my proving you wrong: 1) I identified a LAW.COM link that chronicles every judicial decsion including those that prevented Michael from removing the tube. http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1090180451119 Ah, I see avoid the questions you don't want to answer. No sarcasm wasn't obvious. You insult people and the way they live all of the time. When it becomes a habitual pattern, you don't assume sarcasm, you assume insult. You inflamatorally phrase questions so that if they differ a shade of gray from your opinion they are murders or the like. You routinely play God and tell people how the way that people live and think are wrong, and that only your logic is right. With a history like this, why would anyone assume sarcasm? Heck not to long ago you were preaching to us that if the majority of the country felt a certian way about a certian issue, that is the way it should be, because majority rules. You even sited recent polling that said 60% of the country supported Terri Shaivo's right to die. Now that position isn't convient for you, so it hasn't been mentioned. Like I said, before, when it doesn't work, you change the arguement. Like I said, I am used to it.

So what is the difference between my ethics and my morality? And what gives you the right to to question either of them? I seem to remember being taught in a Lutheran school, to judge not lest ye be judged. But you seem to have no problem judging anyone who doesn't share the same opinion as you. And please don't insult my intellegence with the indignant act. I know you better than that. It is obvious what you were trying to say. Hiding it as a question is a just a passive aggressive way to make yourself feel better about doing the same things you are complaining about. This started out as me supporting someone's statement of fact, then I supported it with 4 different links. Then when you called someone for name calling, and I showed you doing the samething, then you called my ethics into play. It is classic misdirect. As soon as you are proved wrong, you change the subject or discredit the source. But that's OK, I am used to it.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 11:37 AM) What Pearl did was low and dirty, and yes he f***ed with the tapes before turning it into the NCAA. It was classless as all hell. I gotta say there is one way to avoid that... Don't commit federal offenses, and if you do, don't tell other people about them, and if you want to tell someone, don't tell them over the phone

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) SS, you're a little slow today I guess. I already posted a LAW link to Schiavo & identified to decisions that ruled against Michaels desire to remove the tube. I would think a LAW link trumps mainstream news articles. :rolly As for the swinger comment 1) I already identified it as a sarcastic remark removing any insinuating I considering one 2) I'm not surprised according to your ethical beliefs that you would equate blatant name-calling with asking a question. Ah so instead of name calling you just question my morality, that is soooo much more mature. If you would care to notice, I haven't posted anything to do with moral statements in this thread at all. Nothing. But that didn't stop you from incinuating that somehow I am morally challenged, mostly because I didn't agree with your point of view. But that's OK, I am used to that sort of hypocracy from you now.
