Dick Allen

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) Did I defend him or not acknowledge his existence? I think those claims run at odds. You're losing control here. Show me the post I defended him. Back your claims up. You went after the victim. It's what defense attorneys do. Shame the victim. I can back up my claims by saying read your posts.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 01:03 PM) I was doing your sarcasm thing. Apparently you can dish it out but can't take it. You show me one post where I defend this white supremacist guy and I'll buy you a car. Show me one post where I even acknowledge his existence. You're full of it. Back up your claim here. Here's your chance to show you're not full of it. You didn't acknowledge his existence, yet you wanted to make sure everyone knew his victim did porn. See what I'm getting at? What he did was somehow irrelevant, what she did, because it wasn't something you thought was noble, was pertinent .

It depends how nuts it gets. I read where SD is already over $80 million. How high can they go in reality? Would they really write a 9 figure check to the league?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:45 PM) Wow and now you're just going to assume her gender? Even if she does actually identify as a woman, you're saying she's not equal to one that identifies a man? Maybe it's old fashioned, but I was always told to never hit a female, and I never did. You have lost your mind. Seriously. I doubt if someone asked you if your girlfriend was a guy you would be understanding. The guy you are defending is a white supremacist btw, who has done time for armed robbery of a cab driver, and has some pretty messed up views which I suppose you will tell us you don't necessarily agree with but argue against anyone who says they are messed up. Unsettling. Kind of surprised you never mentioned it.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:40 PM) You are continuing to make these conclusions for me in your own head. You don't speak for me. If I could do the same to you, it seems you don't have respect for porn workers and are offended someone on your team looks bad after causing a ruckus and facing the music. I don't speak for you but it is obvious why you posted she did porn. We aren't that stupid. I couldn't care less if she was a porn actress, drug dealer, doctor, teacher, stay at home mom, bank robber, what happened to her was wrong, and I hope the perp spends some time in jail.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:38 PM) Fists are weapons, your point is moot. Wow. Are you really so worried about being punched by a 120 pound girl, you would punch her in the face first, then run away? If you are going to run away anyway and are that scared, why not run before she has a shot at you?

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:34 PM) Damn straight. Dick or p****, you go after someone looking for a fight, you get a fight. What if she had a weapon? Would he have been OK to hit her then? What if he was a gay black social worker instead of a white guy with bad politics? Antifa has a history of putting its female members up front and hiding behind them so that when they get hit in the ensuing clashes they can cry to the media about hot a woman got hit. Screw that, they are there for a fight. They got a fight. She had no weapon and the tough guy ran away once he punched her.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:32 PM) These conclusions you draw have no basis in reality. I simply stated her occupation and my reaction to unfortunately coming upon pictures of her work on Reddit. If that's what you're into no worries but me personally, I had a visceral reaction to seeing her work. You simply stated her supposed occupation because you thought it made her look bad. The same move has been made a million times before.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:24 PM) His exact words were "Apparently she's a porn actress too. Unsettling.". I see nowhere in there where he claims this makes it OK to hit her. That appears to be a fabrication on your part or some personal vendetta. The fact that she was there for a fight and was trying to hit HIM made it OK to hit her. perhaps the 'unsettling' part was a comment on her looks... This is rich since you posted this and apparently think striking woman is no big deal: Consider it a 'blow' for equality. She stepped into the playing field, abandoning the protections afforded by the traditional customs of interactions between gentlemen and ladies. She went looking for a fight, and got one. Just because she has a vagina doesn't give her a free pass. Doesn't matter who the hitter was.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 12:14 PM) Did you mention that he's a doctor? You're an awful person according to the people in this subforum then. No, the whole point of you posting she has done porn (while now saying it is what she does) was to make her look bad. That's a gotcha. If she were a lawyer or a doctor, do you really think anyone here believes for a second you would have posted it? To borrow a term you just used, your post letting us know that was an animosity filled post.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 11:46 AM) Posting someone's career choice is not "gotcha" at all. It's posting their career. If you come back later trying to get me at least bring a cogent point. Yes it was. She did porn, therefore, while punching anyone in the face is probably wrong, let alone a woman, hey she makes dirty movies, perhaps punching her isn't so heinous . Exactly the same as bringing up the guy on the airplane's past which you called a gotcha. Nice try. You aren't above it all. You are what you supposedly hate.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 08:07 AM) Ivanka Trump got trademark approvals from China the same day she met with Xi at Mar a Lago. https://t.co/myUMSvpJUa Becoming more clear why Trump's changed his tune on China. Gotta do what's best for the family business above all else. The conflict of interest all around is astounding. But the right is more interesting in more important things. Alex Jones now claims Obama's daughters aren't really his.

I think he is going to be big like Puig eventually. Hopefully not too muscular. Their batting stances are very similar. He'd be an exciting signing. He'd be an even more exciting signing if he panned out. I think the chances the Sox have to sign him are far better than Ohtani. The Sox have a Cuban tradition. Have Abreu and Moncada, and their timeline to contend fits Robert a lot better than fits Ohtani. Money being around the same, why would Ohtani come to a rebuilding team that is virtually ignored in their own city? The White Sox could become the team in Cuba, not that it would make them much money, but could start a generation or two of fandom.

Birmingham is pretty pathetic.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 07:29 PM) I said it didn't matter when Trump tweeted that two million illegals voted for Hillary. It's a non issue. The public gains nothing by talking about it and the media does a disservice when they spent weeks talking about it. I don't get why stating what a liberal does for a living is a big deal. If I were one of the first responders in the United scandal thread and said the guy was a doctor would you be losing your mind over that too? People's occupation and personal history naturally comes up when their actions or the actions of someone else lands them in the middle of a news story. Furthermore, I said I respect her right to put her orifices in front of a camera to make some coin. When I brought up Biden's kid's perversions I brought it up with the point that nobody said anything around here. You guys will post about Trump's grandson and his school or liberal company's messing with Ivanka Trump's business but when Biden's kid acts like a pervert and Tim Kaine's kid is a criminal the links never seem to make it here. I brought it up for the point of exposing the hypocrisy and balancing the one-sidedness around here. You just strip things of the necessary context to mischaracterize me. I know Trump is a doofus. Am I surprised by his comments? No. Do I support his comments? No. I should say, sexual abuse is about consent. In the lines before the grab the p**** line Trump talked about how they'd give him consent. Imagine that, girls responding to a man sexually because he has money. I can't imagine that's ever happened before. Guys say things about girls they don't mean all the time. They talk about girls like they're a part of a game to get the most. They talk about girls who they have the upper hand with in a particular relationship with disrespect. Girls do the same thing to guys with their friends. Most people don't do it the creepy, crude way Trump did it but it's not that crazy. It's not that shocking to me that a guy who gets laid at will said something disrespectful to another guy about a woman. I played sports and hung around on the south side growing up, that stuff happened all the time even if it is reprehensible. That doesn't mean it's okay or I endorse it, but it is what it is and people have been doing for a looooong time. If you get outside of your comfort zone and meet some new people you'll find there are people who have opinions with a basis stemming from something other than projecting an air of moral superiority. Not everyone in this life is as proper and politically correct as your media intake preference. The real problem is the country couldn't find a candidate to beat Trump on account of this among everything else on his long list of issues. What he says to another guy, even if it is raunchy and gross, isn't that important in the grand scheme of things. Just like it wasn't a big deal when Bill Clinton used to get head from intern and his wife used to malign the character of his sexual assault accusers. I think it's a bigger transgression to attack possible sexual assault victims than it is to make a crude joke while being a braggadocios asshole with a friend behind closed doors. JFK used to tell girls to give head to his political friends hanging around the pool. I love JFK and I still have to say that using your power to get your political buddies head is worse than what Trump said. Those things didn't get the same play as Trump's comment from 2005 for some reason. It doesn't. There was nothing in my post you quoted that insinuates I was pissed off. It pisses me off when people wear blinders and act hypocritically. I've been on record ripping GWB and Trump far more than I have ever supported either of their work. I am not without bias but I don't follow politics from a partisan lens like many in this subforum. The whole system is broken not just one side of it. Again, you don't practice what you preach and in the other thread seemed to have always considered yourself special for apparently staying above it all. Remember you posted about the gotcha aspect the other day in the United deal. Well where did you stoop? A woman gets punched in the face, and you tell us she did porn. You got her. If that kind of thing bothers you so much, why do you do it? If acting hypocritically pisses you off, you should be pissed off at yourself.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 08:44 PM) Still early, but he's making Freeky Magee look good in his evaluation of him (and DA looking bad). I hope he does well, but Matt Albers was looking pretty good a year ago.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 07:25 PM) Exactly so give Davidson a chance If the Sox acquired a real 1B sure make Abreu the DH, but not Matt Davidson or move Frazier off of 3B would be silly too.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) Why not? Give Davidson reps at 3rd when Frazier's Ebola improves Davidson is on a hot streak right now and still fans half the time. Abreu is a far better player.

This game is ova. The Sox have scored at least 5 runs in a game only 3 times this year.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 07:17 PM) Time for Abreu at 1B experiment to end no? No.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 07:08 PM) This is an embarrassment of an inning for Hawk. Really tired of this crap, it's his like fourth game and he sounds bitter and tired So he sounds like the gamethread.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 06:32 PM) regardless....anytime he wants to join the rest of the Sox this season that'd be nice. btw...what's the situation with his kid? Is he here now full time? That was the excuse last year.... The rest of the Sox?They have a .220 team average. Scoring next to nothing when homers around the league are back up to steroid era levels.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 06:18 PM) I'm not concerned about anything. I responded to something topical. Not every political conversation has to spiral back to character court of the president who's inauguration has affected you so personally. I've long been on record speaking against him but the person in office doesn't control my life, I control my own life. Yet it pisses you off people speak out against him.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 17, 2017 -> 06:12 PM) When you come at me personally can you at least say what it is that I do wrong? I don't know what the "same thing" is. What do I preach? I don't know what Trump has to do with your point either. Are the sour grapes of his presidency that invasive to your stream of consciousness that you have to liken people you disagree with to him? Your willingness to accept opinions other than your own speaks measures about your tolerance. (Am I doing the hacky sarcasm thing right? Enlighten me more please) What you are doing is going off issues. When anyone wants to address Anything other than political issues with Trump, you have stated you don't care about that stuff, and apparently don't believe anyone else should be concerned about it either. Yet when it is someone that appears not republican, you are very interested in other things like the news this woman did porn.joe Bidens son dating his dead brothers wife. What are the issues with these vs. all of Trumps lies not being issues? Trumps claim that he could grab women by the p**** apparently didn't bother you, but shouldn't it? If he was telling the truth, he has committed sexual abuse. If he was lying, isn't it at least a little creepy a 60 something guy would say that to Billy Bush? i have the feeling if this woman were a Trump supporter you probably wouldn't have mentioned porn.
