QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 07:00 PM) Ive done a lot of research, I have never been able to find what I consider to be reliable evidence. There is evidence, I just think that its suspect at best. It's not great evidence, but the idea that he was made up out of whole cloth, rather than an actual guy who was made legendary, seems unlikely to me.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) Well obviously I don't know the intricacies of the film business, it's just my preference for s3 to be complete rather than split (and I'm not saying in 13 episodes, but longer). And GRRM is one of the greatest and most frustrating writers. I really wish HBO didn't agree to air some side projects of his and just tell him to finish A Song of Fire and Ice and then let's talk. Yeah, on the plus side, I've read that Martin told the showrunners what the (yet unwritten) endgame of the series is, so if he bites it, they'll at least know what direction to steer.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 03:14 PM) Is it too much to wish that they would just expand the season to accomodate the book? It's HBO, they can do whatever they want to do. The showrunners have said that they can't really manage more than 10 episodes in their 12-month production cycle. Yeah it would be great if they could squeeze in 13 or so, but I'd rather than 20 over 2 years than 13 over 1. They also have to buy GRRM's slow-writing ass as much time as possible.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 03:09 PM) Would you recommend beating Bioshock 2 before playing it? I don't believe there's any relation.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 03:38 PM) I keep hearing this rumor, and I have no idea if it's true. If it is, then it sucks and HBO should be ashamed. Are you kidding? You'd rather have great material condensed or omitted than have to see young actors who are an extra year older? Splitting the book into 2 seasons was absolutely the right decision.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 30, 2013 -> 07:00 PM) Emotions were definitely running high, the guy was so amped he (probably) accidentally discharged a round into the pavement. He fired the gun multiple times, hitting the truck and a nearby house. He didn't accidentally do squat.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) Sure, but that quoted text was in response to jenks' statement that he would prefer no racial element at all. But isn't the SCOTUS' line of questioning relevant to that issue? If the school doesn't have a good way of determining who is a disadvantaged minority, or racial identification involves huge shades of grey, isn't that a big problem for the policy itself?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 21, 2013 -> 06:31 PM) It doesn't matter what you or Scalia or Roberts prefer UT's policies should be unless there's actually a Constitutional violation. It's not the role of the Court to evaluate the efficacy and merits of admissions criteria. If you have a discriminatory policy, then you need a significant state interest for why that policy is necessary. If that interest is to help historically-discriminated-against minorities, isn't determining who counts as one of those minorities relevant?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 18, 2013 -> 06:39 PM) Confirmed by who? Did steve ever say the bulls confirmed? No Literally if I look at my cat and say "Kitty stay silent if you think Rose will play tonight" and she says nothing, its technically confirmation. ... COME ON

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 08:22 PM) "The market" and 2013 wage rates are not some immutable force of nature, a part of reality as unchangeable as gravitational constants. Can we just rename Adam Smith's "invisible hand" to "God" already?

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 06:28 PM) THINK OF THE CHILLENS doesn't work on me. I dont give a s*** about the kids, if they are really being neglected to the point its criminal the state can seize them and give them to a new family. Yeah, boatloads of kids filling up orphanages (which taxpayers will also be supporting) should be a big plus for society.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 06:16 PM) Eh if all that's separating you from poverty is a few government cuts you need to get your s*** together. Let em suffer, toughen the welfare leeches up a little bit maybe they'll think twice next time they blindly join a union or rely on the government for anything. Yeah, stupid children born into poverty. Get your s*** together. Maybe some malnutrition and lack of medical care will toughen you up and next year you'll be more self reliant.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 1, 2013 -> 03:12 AM) Reggie Rose continues to diss the Bulls front office (and in turn, any Bulls player not named Derrick Rose). Seriously. "Hey guys, my brother say I'm not motivated to play with you because you basically suck."

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 22, 2013 -> 03:45 PM) All of those gun restrictions are a "f*** you" to gun owners btw. No, they aren't. Not one of them is remotely equivalent to making someone have an unnecessary invasive medical procedure.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 22, 2013 -> 04:27 PM) Gun requirements some liberals want add all of those. More time (background checks, wait periods), more expense (training classes/certification/registration/possibly insurance), and humiliation (having to disclose medical records even if you suffer from something "minor" like anxiety/depression) - all of which are unnecessary and with little to no proof they would result in ANY change and probably would effect the poor more than the rich. Even if you don't agree with them, you can't deny that there are rational reasons for things like background checks, gun training, registration, and mental health checks. These aren't simply "f*** yous" to people trying to own a gun.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Feb 12, 2013 -> 06:23 PM) I was kinda excited about this game. Not so much after those reviews. I haven't played it since it was in beta, but if you want a "marines vs aliens" experience, Natural Selection 2 is pretty solid (be warned that the learning curve is a bit steep though).

Do NOT tell them you totaled your car. This means you NEED a car and people who need things have less leverage. You're just a dude who is interested in upgrading his car in the next few months, and if you find a great deal, maybe you'll buy earlier than that. You have no pressure. THEY have the pressure to make sales and get commissions. Play them against each other. Get a bunch of quotes and then tell the losers what price point they need to beat to get your sale. At some point, their manager may not allow them to lower the price any more. At this point, start asking what other things they can do for you: upgraded stereo, all-weather floor mats, free services, etcetc.

My mistake.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Feb 7, 2013 -> 06:13 PM) Semantics Steve. Bonus news, the girl I cheated with forgave me. You should understand that it's not that simple. You will have trust issues going forward, even if she said she forgives you.
