QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 02:31 PM) I care about all sentient beings. You've no problem killing some forms of life based on emotional separations. Hope you've never swatted a gnat or mosquito away.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 02:30 PM) Wow. Keep convincing your self that you have a great argument. Also since I'm sure you're anti-murder for humans I expect you to sell your car and walk everywhere for the rest of your life since cars and other vehicles accidentally kill people. I look forward to some more ingenious arguments from you. Perhaps you'll tell me that eating vegetables equals murder too. If you're eating farm-grown vegetables, animals were killed in the harvesting of those. There's no way around that. At least acknowledge that your chosen food source still results in the deaths of animals (not to mention millions of innocent plants!).

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) i have bad news for you BigSqwert, farms that use mechanical harvesting kill tons of animals. you need to stop eating vegetables if you wish to be truly, as you have defined, humane; never eat food that has caused the death of an animal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruitarianism

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 02:05 PM) Probably the dumbest argument I have ever heard for rationalizing meat eating. Why do you only care about animals? Don't other life forms have just as much "right" to live?

Right, so what is Stewart supposed to do? Lower his own quality? Why shouldn't the news networks (and prime time major network news is rarely better than cable) raise their own standards above those of a satirical show on Comedy Central. What is Stewart supposedly doing wrong here, Kap? I'll go out front of you and say that yes, some people do accept what he says uncritically and that is a problem. That's a problem for any source. That doesn't change his relative trustworthiness or usefulness. They flat-out suck and should be embarresed that a comedian is better than them. They're not because they still rack in the money, but they should be.

3 games back. What an embarrassment.

first pitch single, way to go Sox bullpen.

Awesome.

Terrible 0-2 pitch call by AJ.

Why would anyone care what an internet self-selected response poll says?

I think its pretty conclusive that W's claim of never having left the country prior to his presidency was accurate.

There's an endless number of crazy theories behind Obama right now. Ayers wrote his book/ funded his schooling, secret Ayatollahs paid for his school, he's the anti-christ, he's Kenyan, he's a British citizen, he went to [bad place with evil Muslims] on fake passports, etc. Its reached the size and scope of 9/11 troofers.

Why stories about Obama's birth certificate will never die.

The best time I ever had at Disney was when I got to see Columbia going through the sky on a launch into space. Other than that I found it boring, even at 11 or 12. Give me big roller coasters over WDW any day of the week.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 10:30 PM) Does BA have the speed to get to the wall that quick? I think it takes a unique amount of speed to get there, plus a great jump. For at least one moment, his particular skill set got us out of a spot. Earlier in the year he had a great catch (in which he was injured) which led directly to a W. Wise seemed to have a perfect jump on that ball. I don't know if BA gets there, and then he has to reach across his body or backhand it because his glove is on the other arm.

That just means one more day for me to not watch and read a quick recap of who drafted who the next day.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 07:12 PM) It is. I like that reverse angle of Dwise's catch. And I know this has been debated elsewhere, but BA doesn't catch that. Probably not with the glove being on the left hand and all.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 06:21 PM) So should this homer be a walkoff, or a grand slam to give the Sox the lead? Walk-off to win it 1-0 to cap his 2nd perfect game.

Any word on Comcast Sportsnet showing a replay?

what a day to be stuck in a meeting from 1-3. Congrats, Mark, I'll have to catch the replay.

I got kicked out of the parking lot last year after the first pitch.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 08:55 AM) Simple explanation: He's on the WHITE SOX. He's easy for most to forget about or ignore or not even be aware of. White Sox. Not Red Sox. Not Yankees. Not Cubs. White Sox. Santana was on the Twins and still got plenty of coverage. Of course, his style is a lot sexier than Buehrle's.

Change.

Cook County/ Chicago doesn't allow handguns but most of the rest of the state does. No CCL, though.

Voted down.
