Teachers ban Legos to teach a message
QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 30, 2007 -> 01:19 PM) "assumptions that mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society — a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive" is NOT a middle ground. So you favor a class-based system? Tell me how that would work.

House passes Iraq Withdrawal bill
Just a minor thing, they are soldiers not Troops. 3,200 American soldiers have died. Humans with moms and dads and kids and dreams. When did we start calling them troops? Is nuke a troop?

House passes Iraq Withdrawal bill
Couple things. 1. I would probably have voted with the GOP on this one. I don't like the idea of a deadline. I don't have a better alternative, but this just doesn't feel right. 2. I wish those items above would receive more publicity. Not everything in Washington is along party lines, there is some common sense that gets passed around.

Sisco and Aardsma Complete Bullpen
The entire White Sox organization would like to thank those posters that have tried galantely to distract fans from the obvious. Their b****ing and whining towards each other is effectively keeping them from b****ing and whining at our incredibly stupid roster moves. Inside joke: we had never seen an 0.0 ERA and thought it was bad, not good. Go figure. Sincerely, JR, KW, OG and a cast of dozens

Happy Birthday Mr. Soon to be a MBA. In case everyone doesn't know, Kap is the server god around here. We run on his server, he does the behind the scenes stuff when Jas f***s things up. He's a great guy to have a beer with, but like most guys here, his wife is infinitely more interesting and better looking and his daughter has a better grasp of politics. And he shares a birthday with my daughter who is celebrating her Sweet 16 today.

I wish I had thought of this. http://www.cereality.com/main.php OK, I smell Kramer in this. The wacky, off beat Kramer, not the racist spewing Kramer. I fell asleep at 7:00 pm from pure exhaustion and woke up at 10:00 pm and can not fall back asleep. This wine is very wonderful. I was tasting the "oak nuances" about an hour ago, now I'm just tasting the "I love you man" of the alcohol content. But seriously, a f***ing cereal bar in the morning, isn't that the coolest? The pretentious "cerealologist" crap can go, but it beats the breakfast taco I currently grab.

Teachers ban Legos to teach a message
There is waaaaay more interesting stuff in that article than just taking away the Legos. That was about .1% of the article. Seeing how kids this age acquired, wielded, tried to share, make rules, etc. was the real importance there. NSS, don't stop at the fourth graph. And if you actually read to the end, they did not ban legos. That's misleading.

San Francisco to ban plastic grocery bags
QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 01:03 PM) I did it for one year as well. The people asking for double paper in plastic were the worst. Talk about a pain in the ass. Not as much as pushing carts thru the snow, but it still sucked. Speaking of pushing carts, I saw some automated s*** at Target last week. The kid just hooked the carts together and drove them in. What's up with that?? Every big box down here has them. Pushing carts in 104 degree temps is not healthy.

Mark Cuban's Magnolia Pictures in discussion to distribute "
QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 12:57 PM) I'm finding it interesting how similar I find the arguments of the Loose Change guys to the arguments of the anti-evolution or anti-global warming folks. It's always the argument from Ignorance. There's no footage of this. There's no footage of that. There's no good images of this. Why can't we see the footage of this. That's a double edged sword. Science tells us if it can't be proven empirically, it isn't valid, no? So on one hand we have scientists telling us something must be replicable before we can trust it as true. So if there is a lack of objective evidence, we should consider it a theory until it can be proven or disproved. And then other the other hand, in evolution's case, we must accept it without firm evidence, And there is a leap of faith in evolution, or any theory of man's beginning, from nothing, comes something, close to approximating human.

San Francisco to ban plastic grocery bags
QUOTE(SnB @ Mar 28, 2007 -> 12:41 PM) I worked as a bagger for 3 years in high school at dominick's. We sure wasted alot of plastic bags. But paper bags are a b****. That's the other bad thing about plastic, I noticed my local Walmart seems to put every item in plastic bag. I'll come home and have nine or ten, when three or four would have worked.
