:finger midst is not middle

I just want to extend a general invitation to members old and new, to participate in our famous Soxtalk contests this baseball season. I am the main man behind our pick to click contest. We are going to have some "practice" rounds here starting with the next spring training game. If you weren't around last year, or just didn't play, feel free to take a look at the rules, and join us. There is no signing up or anything like that, just make your picks daily and you are in the game. And as big as the PTC was, there is also the YNOT contest. Every series a new group of questions is asked, you give what you think will happen, and the closest to the real outcome wins. Both games are located in their own areas of the Sports Bar. Stop by, play with us, and don't forget to tip your waiters and waitresses

So who is watching Leigh and FAMU?

This entire season.

They have no shot at Illinois with all of this going on.

But tommorrow never comes...

What is the score and inning???

Anyone listening to the game to give us updates????

You were right on FSJ, here is the post. http://www.soxtalk.com/index.php?act=ST&f=...ndpost&p=272314 I totally missed in in the midst of the Mel thread. Damn.

Wow. I hadn't heard that. Prayers and best wishes to ya whereever you are Brando! Comeback soon.

And that is exactly why the roadmap is doomed to fail. Both sides are too busy pointing fingers instead of doing what the road map dictated.

Maybe some Russian politics will draw him out of hiding...

Both sides have been guilty of not following the road map. It wasn't supposed to be you do something then I do something agreement. They both had responisbilities unilaterally, and neither side lived up to them. Israel was supposed to stop expanding settlements, and stop targeted assassinations, they have not done so. So now the radicals have an excuse to keep up terror bombings. See how it works both ways? And once again, the average Palestian who is living in squaler and starvation because they can't work, is to the point of being acceptive to their own state. It is the militant wings who insist on all of old Palestine. The great majority of Palestinians just want the violence to end, and to have some semblance of a normal life. The basic Israelis want the exact same thing- Peace and a normal life. It is the radicals that are dictating policy on both sides. It is wrong to assume that the majority is represented by groups like Hamas and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.

This is a very, very good point Eye, and one that isn't repeated often enough. What it all boils down to is that ALL sins are equal in the eyes of God. Anyone who has committed even one sin, has committed them all. That is biblical. Being gay is no different than lust, greed, envy...anything.

OSU IMO. They have the easiest looking bracket.

In that situation, it isn't too bad of an idea.

Baseball prospectus is pretty good IMO. IN reality though, I don't know that I would pay for something like that anymore, because you could pretty much ask any question here, and get enough intelligent answers to tell you what you want to know...

The radicals have derailed the peace process on both sides. The great majority of people living there now just want something to call their own. They are sick of their sons and husbands being killed and sacrificed. Even Arafat is trying to negotiate the Road Map. He knows they aren't going to have all of Israel back, or even the right of return. The best possible solution for both sides is to give Palestine something to call their own, and opportunity for them to be able to earn a living. And the majority of people know it. It is the groups who will only accept the destruction of Israel who are in the great great minority. But because of their headline grabbing willingness to resort to violence, their opinion is heard much louder. Think about it, one person screaming is much much louder than 10 people talking. And such is the nature of mideast politics. I don't consider being for a Palestinian state and well-being, anti-Israel. Even a majority of people IN Israel want Palestinians to have a country. Why? Because they see it is a way to reduce the violence. If they have jobs and food, odds are they are much less likely to become suicide bombers. That desperation is gone.

That is easy. Tex, Apu, and basically everyone else on this site are not racists. I know you missed the old days, but there was a true antisemite, who posted on this site. He also advocated violence against gays, and just about everything else in between. There is a big difference between arguing against someones actions and being an a racist. I have yet to see ANYONE advocate Palestine AT THE EXPENSE of the destruction of Israel or its people. That would be anti-semite. The targeting of a race, for the simple fact of a race, is racism. Not agreeing with the actions of a government does not make one a racist (by your very definition of an anti-semite). If that is the case when you bash Bush, you have made yourself anti-American. Bashing Bush for the killing of innocent Iraqis and bashing Sharon for the killing of innocent Muslims is the same thing. One doesn't make you racist, while the other makes you a good citizen. And to even insinuate that one race is worth more than another is exactly what the very definition of racism is! It is hypocritical to state otherwise. That my friend is where you are wrong. The worth of Human life is not based on race. And the posters who you argue with consistantly are not racists.
