QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 12:51 PM) Just make sure the car isn't made in Mexico then. You have to define what you mean by "made in". No one "makes" a car from the ground up anymore, They all are buying components from around the world. In Reynosa, Mexico, across the river from me, are companies that make seats, wiper blades, stereos, batteries, key chain remotes, various lift motors, wiper motors, wires, cables, and a few more I am forgetting. But no cars are "made in" Reynosa.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 12:39 PM) You can't argue for legality because some is less bad than something else? I mean, if everything had to be good for you, cigarettes, cigars, TVs, and alcohol would be thrown right out the window and banned instantly, wouldn't they? Then you would have to accept an argument that alcohol is worse then pot so alcohol should also be banned. The comparisons are dangerous.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 12:31 PM) Come on, look at the pharmacological effects of weed versus booze--no contest that pot is less harmful. None. Less harmful then say carrots? Less harmful then water? Unless you are going to argue that pot is beneficial, these comparisons are meaningless.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 12:40 PM) I think the population in Texas and Florida is very mobile, and very different from the rest of the south (especially in Florida). But in places like Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, etc.......it's like a different world from the north. The north has been moving south for decades. http://www.usnews.com/usnews/images/blogs/barone_flow.htm For some recent numbers. The rust belt continues to decline and the sun belt continues to increase.

With a more mobile population there is very little difference between the people living in the north and south. I can tell immediately if someone was raised in the north or south. The southern raised person will have more formal manners. They will address elders with a Mr. or Mrs. and say yes sir or yes man, hold doors and push in chairs.

Unless you are going to argue it is good for you, the a,lcohol comparison is worthless. But I'm glad you found the time to pick up that medical degree while in law school

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 12:09 PM) Sheldon Silver, the Assembly Speaker of NY, was just giving a speech lauding Spitszer's accomplishments while he was governor. One of the things he mentioned? An ethics reform bill. Not surprising. I was watching a report on these sorts of scandals and according to the experts the individual usually hates that part of themselves and goes overboard trying to kill it. Kind of like making some cosmic amends.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:47 AM) I would never in a bajillion years go on that show. I would, if A. It was my ex-wife hooked up and B. I had a gun and a terminal illness /just sayin'

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:45 AM) He probably didn't want to dish out all that money at one time. sarcasm>>>> But she didn't give him what he needed at home

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:35 AM) I don't have to play it to know what it is. Sometimes I think a man has stand on his own. /joking It would have been better if the hookers were there

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 11:01 AM) He resigned with his loving wife by his side. I think the man should have stood there himself and not put his poor wife through any more humiliation. Even if it was totally her choice to be there, he should not have let her. And the same goes for any one who has used their wife as crutch when facing a scandal ... from either party.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 10:59 AM) i cannot believe there are still people in this country that would applaud for Karl Rove. it's disgusting. I wish he worked for a candidate I liked. He will be regarded as one of the most brilliant political minds of this generation. He just, IMHO, used his powers for evil.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 10:13 AM) What do the Spitzers and former NJ Gov. McGreevey and his wife have in common? (Other than the obvious scandal): See: Wearables awesome thanks for posting

Every player who does not live up to potential "screws up the Sox".

Hate to see anyone injured. I hope he gets back quickly. I wish he would come back and post while he's doing nothing.

^^^^^ what he said

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Mar 12, 2008 -> 02:20 AM) Is it just me, or did Peter Gabriel circa 1971 look just damn like Kelly Leek from the Bad News Bears? For those of you wondering, Jim was just laying in bed, studying the posters on his ceiling . . . grow up old man . . .

Amazing how much hatred and misinformation there is for the south around here. You guys are so full of b.s. it isn't funny.
