QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 09:11 AM) Im sorry but when you travel a lot like myself... and everytime you get pulled to the side... I think it has something to do w/ the color of my skin. Especially since a few of those times I was with groups of many ethnicities and im the only one pulled aside. My old boss gets pulled to the side all the time - every time. Want a description of him? White. White collar. Perfect hair. Dresses perfectly. He travels with his boyfriend, who always goes through without a problem - he's black. QUOTE(Soxy @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 09:12 AM) So, you don't think they do racial profiling for those searches? I think people want to scream that they are a little too quickly.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 09:41 AM) Because she belongs to an organization that made a donation? Do you know the list of every charitable cause your church donates to? Or any professional organization you may belong to? Do you wholeheartedly support all of those causes? I don't really follow the logic of why she should be removed. . . She was invloved in this organization a bit more than your common member of a church. No, I don't know the name of every cause my church donates to, but I bet I would if I was the Trustee. She was in an elected position as Secretary and Trustee. While I don't see any big problem with this whole thing, I understand Jenksismy...'s point.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Aug 23, 2006 -> 12:56 AM) This is getting ridiculous....Im all for added safety pre-cautions after 9/11 but it has to stop somewhere... they are restricting some of the most idiotic stuff. Not 2 mention now the door to the pilots is locked so any terrorist wouldnt be able to break in and now that people know what the terrorist would plan to do they wouldnt let them take over the plane anyways. Also the United States is the worse.... I always have to go to the side and be seperately scanned and have my s*** gone through just because the color of my skin. I get back from China with a tour group there are mexicans, asian, russian people.... but yep Im the only one dragged to the side even though I have lived my entire life in America... Not 2 mention my little cousin who was 1-2 years old at the time couldnt get a visa to come to America because he had the same name as a terrorist....Its just beyond ridiculous.... The color of your skin? I wonder then why I've been pulled to the side and had my stuff gone through. Huh? Must be my red hair. They think I'm a Communist. GMAFB!

I don't see any problem. They made a donation. Big deal.

Don't do it! California sucks! Good luck.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 06:25 PM) There's a nice way to do that. I'll remove it. I appreciate that.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) My posters came in the mail and my classroom is finally ready to go for Get Acquainted Day tomorrow. I just gotta finish up a bunch of paperwork and getting my scheduling together for all the stuff I need to do/get done. Did you get a poster of Raquel Welch in case you need to dig your way out to get away from those kids?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 10:40 PM) What would they be charged with? Someting less than a felony I think. I think a case could be made for attempted murder or manslaughter.

I wish I had the Bally's buffet in Las Vegas. I had a bologna sandwich and a cup of ministrone.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 01:00 PM) But I'm totally with you on this and I'm sure its a shocker since i'm the most passive person on this entire board. Of course its also why those that are weaker of heart/confidence consider me to be an ass. I hate cops that weave in and out of the carpool line just because, cops that make illegal turns and do all sorts of other stuff that we as normal drivers can't do. Its one thing if they are going somewhere, but I do think they should have to follow the laws on the road. I respect the hell and thank police officers, but it is one of my pet peaves when I see them driving all crazy when I don't think they are going anywhere aside from just patrolling a road. Amen! I respect most of them as well. The worst I ever saw was a cop, off duty, driving his family around. The wife was in the front passenger seat with a toddler on her lap.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Aug 22, 2006 -> 12:13 PM) This is kinda sad when you think about it. 171 people die in a jet airliner crash in Ukraine today. Iran replies in the Nuclear Showdown that's ongoing. The UK is planning on a 50% withdrawal from Iraq within the year. And the lead story on two of the three cable news websites is this dude getting sent from California to Colorado to maybe, possibly stand trial on a 10 year old murder case. And on the third news site - its story two. When I heard (also the lead story) the other morning a sound clip of a passenger that was on the plane with hime saying, "He must have been really hungry. There were three meals on the flight and he wolfed down all of them," I was ready to puke. GMAFB! That is not news!

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 10:15 PM) Did anyone see when that kid from New York in the game yesterday screamed "one more f***in' run!" (the dugout was mic'd) and then subsequently get slapped in the face by his coach? Man it was hilarious and I've been trying to find video of it. If you find it put it with the one in your avatar and jam up my computer even more. No, it's not my connection.

Are they insane?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 10:40 AM) One First Aid lesson. There is almost no reason to "pop" a blister. Nature likes blisters, that's why we get them. Put a bandaid over it and cowboy up. I agree. The only ones I've ever "popped" were poppped on their own accidentally.

I'm not going to read every post in here. I just want to say wow. I thought it was myself writing that. It is spot on how I have felt these last few weeks.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 21, 2006 -> 09:50 AM) Prayers are out. You're out of prayers?

Jesus.

Nick, you've got 'em all, buddy.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Aug 20, 2006 -> 02:40 PM) I started with 4 cases of MGD No wonder you had beer left! I know a way to get REALLY rich - fast. I shouldn't tell all of you, but I will anyway. I'm going to open up a turn signal repair shop because there's obviously a lot of broken ones out there judging by how few use them. I also hate cops that think they can turn on a left red (without a turn signal) when it says "Left turn on arrow only"

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 11:57 AM) ASSMAN Hey, assman!!!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 09:42 AM) We got the samething, along with the exact same reaction. When SHE *wants* to do something, fine. But tell me how parading your young kids in front of people like that is for the kids? I don't get that part. I know I may step on some people's toes here, but here goes...we haven't even pierced her ears and think it's cruel when we see a tiny baby with earrings. We look at it this way: When she wants holes in her ear lobes she'll ask for them.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 09:22 AM) I find the entire idea of child beauty pageants rather disgusting. There are plenty of sick people running around that don't need this kind of stuff out there provoking them even more. I agree. People tell my wife and I all the time that we should get our daughter into modeling, etc. They've been saying that since she was less than 1. We just nod and politely smile, all the while thinking, "Yeah, I'm going to force my daughter into that psycho lifestyle, you crazy b****!"

I don't know if this was brought up or if it was mentioned in one of the many links posted here (I'm not going to click on them all), but I heard on the radio this morning that John Ramsey said he had no direct contact with this guy, but the ransom note asked for an amount of money that was exactly what his bonus was. Either Kar is full of it and a complete nut job, or the mother is involved. Pretty hardcore piece in the NY Post: NY Post

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 07:51 AM) A wild bear is legal to shoot if it is locked in a pen? I think that this is an issue of the "sport" of hunting. I know hunting in itself is pretty cruel and inhumane, but at least wild bears have a sense to run away, that tame bear probably just stood there and let it happen. Either way, it was a pretty lame thing to do to get a trophy on your wall. If you want to brag about a kill, at least have the balls to go out and hunt for it. You know? Really?
