QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ May 18, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) If Saddam didn't have those weapons, perhaps he should've allowed UN weapons inspectors to do their jobs. And perhaps he shouldn't have invaded Kuwait 15 years ago. Or shot Scud missiles at Israel. Or shelled his own people with VX. Or terrorized and tortured tens of thousands of others. Or given $20,000 rewards to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. Do you see a pattern here? The obvious answer to the second part of your question is that we can't force regime changes in ALL rogue nations. We simply don't have the resources. Our best course of action is to deal with the most threatening ones (i.e., ones that have or have been known to possess/use WMDs). One could (strongly) argue that overthrowing the Islamic government in Iran would've been a better course of action. North Korea would've been disarmed years ago if it didn't have China on its side. BTW, I take the Hannity comparison as a compliment. Don't forget he also fired on our jets patrolling the no-fly zones daily.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ May 18, 2005 -> 09:22 AM) I work in the city too and I gotta say I have noticed a lot of old business men have pulled thier old sox hats out of the closet and are wearing them while walking to work.....its great I saw one today as a matter of fact. There's also this one geeky guy on my train that wears a Sox hat everyday.

FYI It's on the west side of the building near the Horse fountain.

P.S. when the Cubs were in the NLCS they didn't fly a Cubs flag!

I work across Van Buren from the Board of Trade at One Financial Place. It's the building you go under on Congress that says: "Chicago Stock Exchange." In our court yard we have three flag poles usually flying the US flag, the Illinois state flag and the city of Chicago flag. Right now they are flying the US flag, the state flag and... A SOX FLAG!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 18, 2005 -> 08:46 AM) I've seen several posts about how people are mad about us not getting the national attention, and jumping with joy when we get an article or when someone says something bad about us. I say, please continue. Here are my top 5 reasons why I LOVE the baseball experts writing about us: 1. The sox should never have gotten rid of CLEE, Maggs and Valentin. -Maggs 10 AB 0H .000 BA -CLEE .260 BA .318 OBP -Valentin .194 BA 15 day DL 2. The sox pitching just isnt that good, its a rotation full of overhyped and aged arms. -the sox currently lead the AL in ERA, and have the only 8 game winner, and 3 of the top five AL pitchers in wins. 3. Podsednik doesnt have a high enough OBP for a lead-off man, and is a one year wonder. -.285 BA .390 OBP 24SB 21BB 13k's 23R 4. The bullpen is suspect and we have no real closer. -Hermie has yet to give up a run, nuff said 5. The sox dont have enough talent to overtake the powerful Indians and Tigers offense, the Twins pitching, their own shortcomings. -28-12 b****es Keep telling everyone how bad we are, and we can keep leaving their town with 2 out of three. Great post! I couldn't agree more.

I agree with them , but how come they wanted Trent Lott to resign? I think Lott's comments were a lot less harsh.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ May 17, 2005 -> 06:53 AM) Half indignant is a hell of a lot better than rioting and killing people. You may remember the incident a while back with the so-called piece of art by Andres Serrano’s called Piss Christ, which was a crucifix in a jar of urine and blood. While there were shouts of protest from all the religious groups, I don't recall any riots. In fact, there seemed to be lots of liberals defending this artists 'right' to create such a piece. Maybe the people who supposedly flushed the Koran down the toilet should have applied for a NEA grant. They could have called it performance art.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 17, 2005 -> 03:39 AM) I wonder how many of you that are upset about this alleged desecration of the Quran would get half as indignant over a similar desecration of the Bible. Not near as many that beg for a "source" when someone posts a trade rumor.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ May 16, 2005 -> 04:10 PM) I'm still not sold that this didn't happen. Of course not. Always assume the worst about the United States, huh?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 16, 2005 -> 02:35 PM) Man, I can't imagine the s*** you'd get if there was a Hurricane Steff. You'd never hear the end of it. Oh, there have been a few people that have experienced Hurrican Steff.

People sometimes ask me why I watch a sappy show like Extreme Makeover - Home Edition. This is why. It's nice to have a break from this kind of s*** and see good people being rewarded in their time of need.

I lose.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ May 16, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) I'm sure that simplistic and ignorant comment came from the chasms of your brain where only superior intellectual comments lie. Jesus. Yeah, that's it. :rolly And what does Jesus have to do with this?

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ May 16, 2005 -> 01:05 AM) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4549933.stm Yah I'm not sold that this actually didn't happen. Gotta stay on that "Anti-American" soapbox, eh?

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 13, 2005 -> 09:00 AM) The runner was off balance because he was trying to regain his feet after slipping. I don't think it took much of a "shove" to knock him down. In other words, it was just one of those things that happen in baseball. That's the way I saw it. It may have been a little more forceful than neccessary, but the result was more because of the runner being off balance.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ May 12, 2005 -> 01:38 PM) I am all for treating animals ethical--but being against animal testing for drugs, genetics, etc is just irresponsible. Being the the psych department--I get comments from my students all the time about testing on animals (i.e. Animal testing = nazism). Obviously it's not pretty and should be done respectfully--but it's completely naive to think the advancements we make in medical and technology would happen without animal testing.... Exactly. PETA seems to want people to think that the lab techs get a kick out of killing rats. It's not that way at all.

And this: That's where her/your money goes.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ May 12, 2005 -> 01:13 PM) My wife is a bigtime animal lover and backs PETA...she will be very saddened to see this me thinks.... She supports them? Yuck! Show her this: http://www.petakillsanimals.com/news_detail.cfm?ID=2803 Shameful. :headshake
