I believe understanding the other side is a helpful tool in defeating them.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/09/24/scouts.missing/index.html I've been watching this for a few hours and knew they were fine once they found their cars in the parking lot. An auto accident was the worst case scenario They had done everything correctly and easily could have stayed a few days without any worries.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 08:41 AM) I must say, that Star Wars Family Guy episode last night was one of the best animated shows I have seen in a long time. If you missed it, find it. And I can't believe no one has yet mentioned the Chicago Simpsons episode - it even had a White Sox reference! I only caught about the middle 30 minutes, but it was very well done. I loved how they could stay fairly loyal to the original and just by inserting enought Family Guy personality, it worked.

How many do they have to get right before it has any validity? 40%? 80% 100%

I had not seen it until this week. I think Veeck would be beaming. Anything to add fun.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 08:32 AM) If they are NOT paying him, and are allowed to ask actual tough questions (NOT "boxers or briefs"), then I don't have a problem with him speaking there. Just make sure the cameras are rolling! However, he should not be allowed anywhere near ground zero. Probably too soon to be at ground zero. But we do allow Japanese tourists to tour the USS Arizona Memorial.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 24, 2007 -> 08:37 AM) That would be good. But honestly, they could easily have been fired in any case. The department was probably just afraid to for various reasons (dealing with the union, etc.). I mean, the guy with the threatening calls, that could be assault, or at least stalking. And sex in the car while on duty, from a work point of view, could be dereliction of duty, not to mention improper use of the equipment. I believe that is the proper use of that equipment

I understand treating everyone the same is good policy, but just because there were mistakes before shouldn't be allowed. Basically those guys "got off" and this guy received the appropriate punishment. I'd rather the courts said, go fire those guys also you dumb ass.

I'm hearing he may have been murdered by his fellow mimes. The investigation has been hampered after they all; evoked their right to remain silent* . . . *All the good jokes were taken, I was stuck with this one.

Classic Boras, BTW, I'm wondering how many WS Boras players have won. Remember, the beloved Rally Crede . . .

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 09:06 AM) In my best Homer Simpson voice, with mouth open and drool coming out of the side of my mouth,"Mmmmmmmmm......Mary Annnnnnn" Mrs. Howell . . . I think we know why she is called lovey

From the Marcel Marceau dies thread QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 10:21 PM) In related news, fellow mimes around the globe are experiencing some difficulty as they try to travel to the funeral. Many are reportedly stuck in large, invisible boxes, while the forward momentum of several others appear to be impeded by strong winds which they, inexplicably, keep trying to walk against.

Thank you.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 08:46 AM) Yeah, go look at history. Go look at all the rich young men who risked losing everything to go off and fly for the RAF against the Nazi's even before the U.S. entered WW2. Go look at the men and women who left high paying careers behind to enlist in the army after 9/11 ( I know several of those kind of people personally ). I've been doing this for a long time and I have seen a very broad cross section of the military in my time here. I can state for a fact that there are just as many people from middle/upper class backgrounds as there are poor kids. I stand by my statement and I have just as many examples backing my argument as you have yours. Your condescending attitude and poor attempt at humor just make you look that much more ignorant. Again, I'll agree there are exceptions, but looking at Army racial profiles, the Army has been reporting year after year a greater percentage of minorities in their ranks than in the general population. Further, you do not have to be a citizen to serve. You do become a citizen if you are killed while serving. I guess it's one form of amnesty we all can agree on. I am not denying the fact that men and women of all classes heed the calling to serve. That too has been consistent. (Bush, for example bravely flew over Texas.) We also allowed our best and brightest to fight the war from a classroom seat. But facts are facts, the wealthiest and the connected found ways around the draft. Some did answewr the call, like John Kerry. There are just as many upper and middle class as poor kids? 50/50? So you say.

Linked More. much more than this, at the link. What I find interesting about this is the old slippery slope. By the time someone woke up and said enough is enough, many mistakes had been made. Now that department is seemingly stuck with those mistakes. There has to be room to say, we're not going to take this anymore. Have sex on your own time, in your own car. Any more here will result in firing.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 08:51 AM) No. Still hoping for organizations like the ACLU to quit being such hypocritical assholes. I guess that's just as forlorn a hope as it is hoping for you to quit defending them for it. They are just defending the Constitution. When that becomes helping people like Howard Stern and people who want to get religion out of schools and other public places, I disagree. But I also think it's wrong when the government wants to take away our rights.

I'm guessing the publisher started the story. It was the best way to get us to even think about that book. Now with everyone on that set nailing everyone else, I wonder what was happening on Gilligan's Island, Oh the humanity . . .

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 07:34 AM) Ah, the influential people attempting to keep discrete by sending the messenger onto...a message board? Talk about discretion! '_ It seemed the best place to look. Searching other sites just wasn't working.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 02:09 AM) I don't know what this douche is doing with an "R" next to his name. He believes that the U.S. is to blame for 9/11 for chrissakes. I believe the oath of R entails believing the US is always right! Kick him out. There is no room for disagreement in the R party.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 02:17 AM) It is bulls***. It was bulls*** yesterday, today and will still be bulls*** tomorrow. When this nation goes to war there are young men and women from all walks of life who answer the call and go fight. This is true no matter what the moveon.orgs and the Michael Moore's will tell you. Check history. Of all your qualities nuke, how well you articulate thoughts is perhaps the most charming. I suppose this is the necessary training you've received and I am certain you represent your bros well. Yes, of course there are men and women from all walks of life in the military. But one white kid from Winnetka doesn't equal 100 Hispanic kids from San Benito, Texas. One white kid flying a plane, doesn't equal 100 less advantaged kids on the front lines walking. And we can go way back to conquering armies imprisoning immigrants and putting them into their army. We could look at armies where the privileged could buy their way out of service. Slaves were sent off to war time after time.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Sep 23, 2007 -> 02:02 AM) Just another shining example of this leftist organizations hypocrisy. Just another example of how anything that fits their agenda to destroy Western Civilization is fine while anything that preserves it is bad and should be litigated out of existence. Still hoping for that 1950's Ozzie and Harriet life.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2007 -> 11:07 AM) Oh for crying out loud... As SS predicted days ago, this is how the media is going to portray him. Sad.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Sep 22, 2007 -> 04:23 PM) Why doesn't someone call out Jesse Jackson for not being a human being? Do you think he is a God?

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Sep 22, 2007 -> 04:22 PM) I almost responded to this post with sincere thought. But Tex's premise can't be real. Who coined the term non-deadly and why? You don't think it was a marketing ploy to sell more tasers? When we have labels that are less than accurate, or misleading (98% Fat Free) it is usually to sell something. I'm not claiming it is evil or dishonest, it is something we accept in our society. I found it amusing that we had to be reminded that non-deadly doesn't mean it is 100% death free. It means it it kills less times and less enough to be called "non". I believe most people know what sex is, and they know what non means.
