Could the Bears be looking at Smith or Rodgers if they slip to #4

As opposed to all of those socialist democrats who would rather have every decesion ever made at the government level vs taking away all private control of everything and we can tax the crap out of all behaviors that "we" decide are unpleasant and we can all have government insurance and wait 6 months to see a doctor and not have to worry about working because either the government will find us a job where we dont' have to work that hard because the job is guarenteed or if that doesn't work out we can live all of our lives on welfare and breadlines. Heck what I am thinking what jobs? The government is going to decide to restore the whole country back to its original pristine virgin forest state and shut down all of the factories and bulldoze everyone's houses so that the spotted owls have their original lands to live in and that way no one can pollute ever again. Also we wouldn't have to worry about evil conservatives ever expousing their views on God again because there would never be anykind of talk that could ever possibly make anyone feel unconfortable ever again because that is just mean. No religions, no laws, no borders, that will work, because then everyone will loose all need to hate anyone else because everyone will be completely and utterly equal under some cosmic nondiscript force, that isn't too involved as to make any person uncomfortable, yet just involved enough to give ease to those who do need to believe in something. Now do you see how bad those completely extremist overreactive rants sound? Give me a break, please.

We have burden enough getting you Baj, and BMac to the majors already... I don't know if we have the shoulder the burden of pushing anymore guys

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 07:09 PM) During SoxFest, all that debate on the board about thinking that we got rid of Lee because he didn't retaliate on the bases. It was MJ all along. Ha, thanks for posting that Jim. No it wasn't actually. Ozzies exact words were something like the guy went into second base like his wife was playing shortstop. He was almost definately referring to Carlos.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) I was going to send them a thank you, but before I could they e-mailed me with a regret to inform me that I did not get the job. LOL Still send a thank you.

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) So you don't think a government which regulates pollutants in the air shouldn't offer incentives to buy cars that get better fuel efficiency? How about just rolling back the tax incentives that many people get to buy SUVs? They shouldn't offer incentives to decide behavior.

Nice to see Syria is willing to whore themselves out to the US.

No the government shouldn't be imposing its will on the people. That's why we have a democratic process and dollar vote.

Wait a minute, so on one hand we are saberrattling the Syrians to stay out of Iraq and Lebanon, but on the other we are using them as torturers for hire? How does that work? Its not like are terms with them that are condusive to using them to interrogate out problems for us. Something doesn't add up there. If the country had been say Turkey or Afganistan, I could see it, but Syria? The only country less believable is Iran.

Can you post it for us non-signerupers?

QUOTE(beck72 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) Said Jon Adkins will get stretched out this spring, get some starts. [my opinion--Jon will be a starting pitcher at AAA, maybe to enhance his trade value] I agree 100%. I would keep Adkins, Diaz and Munoz all starting at AAA to give us more choices if someone gets hurt.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 10:18 AM) Her husband just called. They went over to her grandmothers house last night and spent most of the night talking. She admitted everything to Sue. I don't even know what to say or do for her. Trust me these things happen on their own time. Basically all you can do is make her know that when and if she is ready, then she can talk to you about things (if you want to do so) If you try to force it or push her, she will shut down. The biggest thing in molestation isn't the acts themselves, it is the loss of power. The victim becomes a virtual slave of the abuser. This makes it essential to not take away the power when it comes to dealing with this. Even if good intentioned, it can make the person feel like they are being victimized all over again. And good luck and prayers for you and all involved.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 10:16 AM) That's just a ridiculous "we're better than you" statement. :rolly Actually on the surface that is a very true statement. If the Pope isn't legitimate, it makes it a lot easier for a schism to take place.

Does anyone think if Michigan St can somehow run the table and win the Big 10 tourney, that they could be a #1 seed along with Illinois?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 08:12 AM) Or to justify honoring your parents, not murdering, keeping the sabbath holy, remaining faithful to your spouse, etc. The Bible has been used to justify some very good things also. Those are clear cut things in a clear cut context. Those are easy reads, and it has nothing to do whether the things were "good" or not. God never said "No gays shall ever be wed." Its left up to interpretation. God DID say "honor thy mother and father", so we don't have to wonder about it and look for guidence on how to treat our parents.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 07:51 AM) Actually, for me the second verse ("whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven...") represents the Dininely bestowed authority for all of the Popes who followed to make Ex Cathedra proclamations, papal infallability and all that, which according to Church doctrine are as good as hearing the statements directly from God. See to me that still reads as a part of the privledges and duties as Heaven's gatekeeper. IE if Peter decides someone can enter the gates of Heaven, then they can pass into heaven. If he condemns them then they are stuck on Earth. Really interesting stuff though. It really tells you how someone can take a verse or two and use that to justify outlawing gay marriage or interracial marriage or just about anything the bible has been used to justify.

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 09:45 PM) Let's hope that Politte isn't a batting practice pitcher this year. I'm sure that Ozzie had Politte pitch to him to gauge Iguchi's ability to catch up to a major league speed fastball. I'd say that is a pretty good success so far.

This is so true. I hate to see a nice guy like Joe struggle, while assclowns like Canseco can have a big career.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 07:29 AM) It's supposed to stem from Simon Peter and "You are the rock on which I shall build the church," etc. Jesus elevated him above the other desciples and the tradition of elevating one above all others in the church on Earth continues in the person of the pope. Very interesting. I just looked it up to read the context, and the King James version reads like this "That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." I wish I knew Arameic to read the original. To me those verses sound about as strong as Bush's mandate. The verses after that are the verses that make Peter Heaven's gate keeper, so it would be pretty easy to interpret that verse as saying He is depending on him to do this important job and the church depends on it, not you are to be the leader of the church, if taken in its full context.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 10:30 PM) I dont mean to be disrespectful to him, but as a Lutheran, I really dont hold him any higher than any other human being. We jokeon here about other people all the time. i see him as being no differant. As someone who is very biblical in orientation, I agree with you 100% with your statement. IMO The bible makes it very clear that no man is better than any other man. The only leader of the church is to be Christ. Every human is to play their own role in the church to the best of their abilities. I am actually curious if anyone can show me the biblical justification for the Pope, because in my self-admitted limited knowledge I can't find it.
