QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 09:14 PM) I don't know why you'd assume that. Some people get pissed off when a professional (psychiatrist) obviously is not doing his/her job, not even retaining any information from a first meeting. Sure, you do. Your friend is extremely dishonest, and he hasn't gone to a new psychiatrist.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 08:46 AM) True, but isn't it rotten that the psychiatrist was that inept? Looking at his watch ... not remembering one session from the next. Inexcusable. I'd bet your friend made up the problems with the psychiatrist as an excuse not to go anymore. Did he find another psychiatrist? Nope.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) Oh, the Bulls get an Eastern Conference Chamions banner?? Does anyone care about Conference Champions banners?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 07:24 AM) Actually he went to a psychiatrist. He had TWO appointments with a renowned psychiatrist (around these parts) then quit. I don't blame him. He said the first session was pretty good. Then he went back a few days for his second session and the psychiatrist kept asking him the same questions he asked at the first appointment! My friend said in an annoyed voice 3-4 times, "Like I said on Tuesday ...." It pissed him off the psychiatrist looked at his watch a couple times and also didn't take notes and didn't remember what was said on Tuesday!! So he claims to have a disease, and all he did was go to a doctor two times, make excuses about why he didn't like him, and then decided OH WELL, THE DISEASE WINS?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 11:46 PM) Liking Battlefront on the Xbox so far, but amazing, as always, the no-lifers that have everything available on the game after just a day or two. But always fun the few times this old man manages to beat one of the younger guys. Still haven't ex[plored the whole game yet, that, COD 3 and Extinction on Ghosts (I still love that) compete for what little time I have. Use the DH17, which is available right away. In general, the blaster pistols are the best.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 03:50 AM) You will NOT see mangers and the story of the nativity in any public school I've been around the last 10 years. WE CANNOT OFFEND ANYBODY nowadays. Why should public schools have nativity scenes? You want to indoctrinate kids, Greg?

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 10:30 PM) Because they have this mistaken belief that they are no longer allowed to say Merry Christmas. I'm questioning where that's coming from A persecution complex.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:56 PM) Go visit a school and watch their Christmas, I mean Winter Season, play. They have colleges with Diversity Departments warning people that even a Christmas tree would be bad form and not 'inclusive'. My son's school literally handed out Bibles last year. Trust me, schools not having enough Christianity in them isn't an issue in this country.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 02:40 AM) Wait, people get pissed over happy holidays? Yup. Organizations like the AFA publish 'Naughty and Nice' lists where they boycott companies and stores that use Happy Holidays or anything that isn't explicitly Christian. Btw, keep pushing for that prime rib. I've made it the past couple years and it's the best.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 12:58 AM) I find it hard to believe in this gawdforsaken conservative state I NEVER hear Merry Christmas (except at church) and always hear Happy Holidays and you guys who live in big cities claim I'm wrong. The PC police are out big-time over not offending anybody who does not celebrate Christmas. Festivus is a cooler name anyway. It does bum me out that PC has taken over. That's one reason I want Trump to win. I see Christmas things everywhere. Where are all the people complaining about Merry Christmas? Nowhere. They're fictional The people demanding Merry Christmas ARE the PC police.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 11:18 PM) I think it's the other way around. Everyone always posts how they are going to keep saying "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays" and they don't care who they offend. Well that's because those people mistakenly think "Merry Christmas" is politically incorrect. But politically incorrect is a label tossed at phrases that get oversensitive people all worked up and offended, resulting in a demand to use a different phrase which those people prefer. In the case of Winter greetings, it's "Happy Holidays" that results in anger and demands to use "Merry Christmas".

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 10:24 PM) I see this 2 and 3 times a day on my FB feed this time of year. Has anyone actually said this or even heard it said ever? No, but there's no shortage of complaining over "Happy Holidays". "Merry Christmas" is the politically correct phrase to use.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 10:04 PM) Why is it OK to blast and mock Christians and virtually nobody else in America? It's not. Look at how many people are currently bashing Muslims. Major GOP candidates can do it and get applause. People trash atheists. People make fun of Hindus. There are countless conspiracy theories about Jews. People mock Wiccans.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 10:00 PM) So this has nothing to do with Islam? Seems to me we are pretty weak in being afraid of the PC police on this one. It has to do with certain forms of radical Islam. But it would be moronic to go out and blame Islam generally, thus pissing off non-radical Muslims.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 07:33 PM) I think Obama refers to them as ISIL. Also he's not racist because he refuses to say "radical Islam" ever. He won't blame the religion at all. What's his deal? He's not an idiot?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 08:37 PM) Don't worry, though. Christianity as a religion is going away. Too many Americans are afraid of offending anybody regarding race or religion ... except Christians. Get off your cross, Greg.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 07:17 PM) What is this show? Can someone sum it up in a few words? Survivor, keeping the challenges and 'voting out' politicking/backstabbing, but... ...sub diverse collection of people with varying ages/races/professions with a ton of young, alcoholic, slutty MTV reality stars ...sub crappy beach where you have to gather resources for mansion full of hot tubs and booze Oh, and there's a lot of character continuity because the same people keep coming back every season

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) Liberal responses were different though: Colorado shooting: "Blame all pro-lifers for the actions of one" California shooting: "Don't blame all Muslims for the actions of two" When did all pro-life people get blamed for the Colorado shooting? I recall there being criticism of the politicians and propaganda-makers who stirred people up with the lies about PP selling baby parts, but no general condemnation of all pro-lifers.

I'm a bit scared that Battlefront on PC is already dying. Only 15,000 players currently on. For reference, Team Fortress 2 has 50,000 people playing right now. Garry's Mod has 38,000. Counterstrike has 410,000. Battlefield 4 has 21,000. If it's this bad now, in peak Star Wars hype season, what's it going to be in 6 months?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 4, 2015 -> 02:35 PM) Battlefront is so wonderful. It's a lot of fun. Need to fix those A-Wings though. So broken.

First impression of Battlefront is that the reviews are all pretty accurate: super flashy, fun Star Wars material, but the game mechanics are thin thin thin.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) This is quite literally the worst assortment of primary candidates that I have seen in the entire time I have been voting. I can't point to a single candidate I would be happy to vote for. Agreed. Which 3rd party candidate wants my throwaway vote?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 10:01 PM) Not to me. Yeah, but you're a troll pretending to have extensive brain damage. Of course you're going to say you like the neurosurgeon.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) I wish the Journos seeking all the mud on Carson would at least balance the scales and write about his work saving lives as a fricking brain surgeon. The man is brilliant and he's being depicted as Gomer Pyle. In matters other than neurosurgery, he seems like Gomer Pyle.
