The attitude that the women who are offended should get a reality check was more offensive to me. Guys just having fun? Dissing them as hoes. Reducing them to less than human for laughs? Sorry, women have a right to be offended by that. The early eighties, when I was in college, was far different. Aids was starting to really hit. The ERA was on its death bed, the free love and drugs had run its course. Rap was just starting to gain an audience. I believe there was much more respect for people then than now. In music, on tv, and movies.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 1, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) Just in inject a little fun, the AP got to ask seven candidates from each party about some of their personal side. Favorite foods, alternate career path, etc. This is part 1 of the series, and apparently there will be follow-up articles. Fun article. I also see why campaign managers hate this kind of unscripted, untested, stuff.

QUOTE(knightni @ May 1, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) Going to Jacobs Field on Thurs too. Making a few days of it. Do they let you holler "Free Bird!" when you get inside? LOL, I just realized how many years it has been since I was there. Forget my critique.

QUOTE(knightni @ May 1, 2007 -> 04:06 PM) Headin' to the RnR Hall on Friday. Hope it's worth it. isn't. At least it wasn't a few years back. Set your expectations low, you won't be disappointed. And no Rush

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 1, 2007 -> 11:35 AM) She was shaking in anger???? LMAO Sure a girl wouldnt like that song. Uh Carol, he was 18 years old when he did this, in college. Lets not go overboard on what happened in a dorm or frat in college when they were 18. I am sure that a lot of things that people did in college at 18 through say whatever is not going to go on your resume. People need a reality check. Yep, there should be a 100% pass on all college behavior. This is the one time that you can treat humans like garbage plenty of time to act human later. I can't wait to you guys have daughters. You will be so much cooler than adults now "Hey man, sing that one where you stick your dick in my daughters ear, I love that"

I am 6'1" and the shortest of my friends growing up. I never really thought twice about someone being tall unless they where over about 6'10" or also very muscular. Keith Van Horn in a leather trench coat is still the most intimidating human I have ever met. I didn't think twice until George Gervin started an NBA development team in town, now I look twice in case it is someone who once was famous.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 1, 2007 -> 02:05 PM) Personally, I think/hope that either way, we haven't seen the last of BA in this organization...because if we have, then we're in real trouble the next few years when our vets start walking. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Based on the current roster, I agree.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ May 1, 2007 -> 11:20 AM) I think the lyrics are hilarious, and almost everyone who ever went to college participated in stuff like this or joked like that... I'm certain Soxy and Queen rapped like that all the time . . .

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ May 1, 2007 -> 10:02 AM) Hackney's /thread

I've been reading a number of suits from the government not fulfilling treaties. One big payout and let's end this system. No way it will last another 150 years, or at least no way it should.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 1, 2007 -> 01:29 PM) Its been time for that for a long time, but since the American Indian community is not considered the slightest bit important politically, no one wants to step up and make any changes. Its kind of a shame. Circling back to the topic of government waste, the BIA is but one example. they are an extreme case, but there are plenty of other agencies that are just piss poor at doing their jobs. They just eat money. How do you think a private company would do to fulfill all these treaties, provide services from school to police to monitoring leases? And if a treaty is not followed who gets sued?

Wow, one stupid mistake. Well if we ever restate the draft no need to pucker up and kiss the guy next to you, just write a twisted, sick, violent essay and you will be released.

Missed the voting amendment and which form is used.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 05:34 PM) 82 inmates at Gitmo completely cleared of all charges...but the U.S. is unable to let them out, because a lot of countries don't want people back who have spent 5 years being "interrogated" by the U.S. The U.S. also indicated that of the 380 or so people still held there, only 60 to 80 would ever be put on any sort of trial, the rest will eventually be released. I can't believe on a planet this size, we can't find a place for them.

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ May 1, 2007 -> 12:42 PM) I didnt read the article, I was just wondering if this guy is the same height as Bin Laden. Isnt Bin Laden abnormally tall? binny is 6'4" this guy is "over 6 foot"

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 1, 2007 -> 01:00 PM) well on the bright side, we should get a solid seed in the tourney...

This must be local. Focus Factor. FREE?! It must be good! I've been using Focus Factor since we introduced it two years ago and wouldn't work a day without it.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 1, 2007 -> 12:29 PM) BIA is tasked with a lot. Too much, even if they were good at it. But they aren't. On one hand I was surprised we have this huge agency for 1.2 million people, but our nation made a lot of promises through the years. Has there been any discussions with dissolving the agency and place the Tribes in the same systems we are duplicating? HUD, etc.? From everything I've just read, we could have the greatest people in the world working for that agency and it wouldn't work. Time to figure out a way to get them off the reservations or make the reservations economically viable.

BTW, NSS72, the government has already taken your advice, The Trices already have an option to accept direct fundign and provide the services themselves, at least in some areas. Linked Good article. I'm not certain how this reconciles to your 10% reach the tribe's number. Are you counting the police forces in the 10% or the 90%? Schools? Weather forecasting? Lease management fees? Required Weed Control? I am amazed at all the BIA is tasked with. Every treaty and agreement going back 150 years must be observed? I thoght it just handed out checks like Public Aid.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ May 1, 2007 -> 11:41 AM) people still use IE? I've run into a number of sites where IE works much better. As much as I like Firefox, and before that Netscape, I use IE more now than a few years ago.

Since we are a rather self selecting sample (sports junkies) I shouldn't have been surprised with the early results. I wonder what the average fans would say?

Best of luck to him.
