QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 09:47 PM) Andruw is about as sure fired of a HOF as there ever is. Best defensive CFer of his generation and one of the greatest of all time plus the guy had 400HR's and was a very good offensive player in the same span. He's more of a lock than Chipper, imo. I always viewed Andruw Jones as being the NL Torii Hunter, and neither struck me as a HOFer. His 110 career OPS+ is pretty unimpressive.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 02:23 AM) Go ahead and piss all over it. You're all fine with it until a decision goes against you, and then you'll scream facism. The more control over "local" law a place has, the closer to a constitutional republic you have, which you're obviously against. They'd scream fascism? Over a decision that increases freedoms? I don't recall any of the most ardent gun control advocates saying the recent ruling which removed handgun restrictions was 'fascism'.

If you want the actual score, you can go to FreeCreditReport.com and get it, but they will put you in a 7-day trial of their "credit monitoring" junk after which you start paying $30/month. So sign up, get your score, then call them immediately and tell them you want out of the trial. And make sure you get a confirmation email that says you're out. I had to call them twice because the first time, I never got the confirmation.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) Ask a few questions. What is the signifigance of the name they chose for that mega-mosque? Is there a history of Muslims building mosques overlooking or near holy sites of conquered counties throughout thier history? Where is the 100 million+ funding coming from? Adding insult to injury, do they really need to plan for the opening day to be on 9/11/2011? I don't have time to get you links right now, I am limited in what i can access here at work. But the mosque is names after one of the largest built in Spain after the Muslims conquered them way back when, they are not saying where the money is comign from, yes, they have a history of doing just what I said and the opening day selected is just plain insulting. I believe the built the al Aqsa Mosque right on TOP of the Temple Mount just to spite Judaism It would be like the Japanese opening up a Japanese Cultural Appreciation Center within eyesight of the Arizona in Pearl Harbor a year or so after the war ended. Is there any source for the 9/11/2011 opening date?

Alice in Chains. I wouldn't mind some more A Perfect Circle either.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 19, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) anti washington is pretty republican. And if it's 1980s conservative thinking, then no, I don't take the tea party seriously that they are concerned about the budget. (and OMG do they realize that Reagan had actually raised taxes during his presidency? Will he be disowned soon?) Ronald Reagan never raised taxes. He cut them to 0%. The tax cuts destroyed the morale of the Communists and forced them to surrender to Reagan at the Appomattox Courthouse, thus ending the Cold War.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) How many of you guys have seen DUEL, the first Spielberg movie? What a great first movie...so much intensity and drama out of a singular situation. You can't beat me on the grade!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 04:03 AM) How is that right? Gold is a fraction of that price. Spot gold is about $1200 an ounce. Cash4Gold just offered the US $124.81 for it's gold reserves.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) As individual "boiled vegetable X", sure. As far as putting together a whole meal, for most people, it's 10 minutes for 1, 10 minutes for another, 10 minutes for another, then 20-30 minutes of cleanup/running the dishwasher/emptying the dishwasher. I think your numbers are a bit inflated. You don't have to cook one ingredient at a time, things like a pot of simmering water don't require constant attention, you can accomplish other things while they're cooking, you don't have to run the dishwasher every night unless you're a huge family or have very few dishes, etc. Yeah, it can take SOME work, but I think there's a lot of excuse-making too. If one can spare 15 minutes to drive to McDonalds and wait in the drive-through for a breakfast meal, they've got the time to pour a bowl of cereal and peel a banana.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 01:32 PM) Really, no it isn't. Taking fruits and vegetables yourself and using them to prepare a meal takes a lot of time and effort. What are the prep times on apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, cherries? 10 seconds to wash them? There are plenty of vegetables that take less than 15 minutes to make.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 10:53 PM) Really cant make any significant changes without f***ing up the flow of the game. You add another ref then you might have inconsistent calls on fouls which isnt fair. Instant replay cant work either. Maybe a goal line judge or some type of goal line technology. The integrity of the game is more important than the 'flow', which is already messed up due to injury faking and referee lobbying.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 10:48 PM) Having them on the lines doesn't help much, and having them on the pitch only takes up space. Don't expect any significant changes in soccer any time soon. Easy solution: review the cards after the games and any red cards during a game. There's no reason after the infamous Kaka red card that they couldn't have looked at that, removed his red, and given a yellow to the faker. Reviews wouldn't even add any time - they already waste a couple minutes with a bunch of people complaining to the ref.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 9, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) He fired 2 shots at 2 guys, yet is facing 4 charges of attempted murder? Bad math here, or bad reporting, either way, it's not adding up to me. It's a prosecutor having fun. Each shot could have killed either guy. 2x2 = 4.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 11:20 PM) I agree, but where else would he do it? Cbs? It could be an open press conference with all the news/sports reporters invited.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) Please debunk any of it. BigSqwert, I'm no expert in milk. There are probably some legitimate negative things about it. I was just saying you should use credible sources. That being said, I took a look at some of his claims and there's a lot of crap in here, though the guy makes it hard to check because apparently he has almost as big an aversion to references as he does milk. The IGF in milk is causing cancers? Ok, show us some studies about this. On another page, he mentions (no link to the study of course - wouldn't want anyone checking his claims) a BMJ study of Norwegians as evidence that milk consumption causes cancer because the heavy milk drinkers had a higher incidence of some cancers. He doesn't mention that the heavy milk drinkers also had lower incidence of other cancers or that the study's finding was "No association was established with total cancer incidence, in analyses adjusted for sex, age and residential characteristics." 40% of our daily food is dairy? That seems incredibly unlikely. Gonna need a citation on that one. The Harvard Nurse Study showed that "those nations with the highest amount of milk/dairy consumption also have the highest rates of osteoporosis." even though all the participants were Americans? Flo-Jo was killed by pizza cheese? Seriously? I read one of his 'more details' articles and he omits the fact that she had an angioma. Pasteurization only heats up to ~160 degrees and we boil water at 212, so pasteurization is junk? We get water up to 212 because it's easier to see water boil than to stick a thermometer in the pot. The dangerous pathogens we need to get rid of die in 160 degrees. Milk contains a ton of pus? Somatic cells aren't pus. He's lying to make milk sound gross. 89% of cow herds have leukemia? His source: an ad he saw in a magazine that was selling cow leukemia tests. Come on. There's a reason this article was on Rense. Again, not trying to start an argument about Milk. Just sayin' it's not a good article.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 02:15 PM) Milk is garbage. Rense.com? I'm surprised that article doesn't say Jews puts Martian AIDS into our milk.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 12:28 PM) I understand what you mean, but I think it should be clarified that those types of movies are the recent Sandler fare. I now pronounce you Chuck & Larry, Bedtime Stories, etc. are examples of that. His movies from the 1990's (Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, Big Daddy) were flat out hilarious and weren't family oriented at all. Even the 90s Sandler flicks aren't all that raunchy - not in the same league as things like The Hangover and some of Apatow's movies. I haven't seen C&L or Bedtime Stories, but I didn't think Grown Ups deviated from even the 90s Sandler that much.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 11:47 PM) The movie has to be a family comedy. It's pretty typical Sandler fare - some physical comedy, lots of guys ragging on each other, and a handful of nice moments. You're not going to come out of it saying it was the funniest thing ever, but you have a good time.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 11:43 PM) In another big SC decision today, a 5-4 decision came down in favor of UCLA-Hastings School of Law over a Christian Lawyer group. The group lost official school recognition (read: funding) after enacting a policy that required members to sign a pledge swearing that they were Christians, not homosexuals, etc.. The school removed them from official recognition based on their non-discriminatory policy. http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-1371.pdf I'll give you one guess who the dissenters were. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE65R4RA20100628 They make some tortured arguments in the dissent. edit: basically, Alito's argument is "you're discriminating against discrimination!" over and over and over again. It's dumb from the first paragraph. How is this case about political correctness at all? The club's policy was discriminatory and exclusionary, not offensive.
