I was just thinking this is a microcosm of soccer interest. One person off the charts rabid, and everyone else with a duh, who cares attitude. When mob riots are defended as part of the sport, my attitude is thank God the sport isn't more popular here, who needs fans rioting and killing each other?

I guess I also give him points for being a good character guy.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 07:34 AM) IF it was an attempt? Ok, I guess I'll keep my day job. I thought the guy was a Socialist, so it would be poking fun at Socialists

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 07:32 AM) Tex, your scouts don't start off saying "A WHITE scout is Trustworthy, Loyal...", do they? As for preaching to your audience, I wouldn't expect Catholics to preach to Jews, or Muslims to preach to Mormans. But when race comes into it, it is always a double standard. If a church had those same credos with 'white' in them, they would be vilified across the country as the next version of the KKK. As for Bush'es religiosity, I agree that at least it seems genuine, where you can tell that others only see the inside of a church when they are stumping for votes. The challenges that face blacks in this country are different than for whites, Christianity has always ministered to specific audiences. I don't see that as any different as a group I respect: Promise Keepers’ mission is to ignite and unite men to become passionate followers of Jesus Christ through the effective communication of seven promises to God, their fellow men, family, church and the world. Promise Keepers’ vision is simply put in three words: “Men Transformed Worldwide.” Why just men?

Now, I also think there needs to be an inner circle that separates Cy Young and Babe Ruth from Jim Bunning and Al Kaline

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 07:17 AM) With a Dad who is a 20% disabled Vietnam vet, I can attest to the 3 year waiting list for knee replacement surgery, and other insane delays. I went through this with my Uncle. Near as I saw, the treatment was only slightly better then what public aid recipients would receive. I'm not certain where the treatment could fall. We could make it better than private insurance, but can't afford it. But it should be closer, and much better than Medicaid. IMHO. I'd much rather spend tax dollars on veterans.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 07:16 AM) Don't make me send out the black helicopters Oh s*** I mean don't make me send out the black helicopters Don't make me sell crack in your neighborhoods

The guy obviously has some problems. First, being a Socialist, second, some anger management. BTW if this was an attempt at poking a little fun at Dems, they can be the same blood thirsty killers as Republicans when the cause is right. Kill them mother f***ers kill! Don't show us the body bags, just kill.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 11:39 PM) Back in the day. . . Mmmm, you betcha I would have brung the Heater and announced my presence with Authoritaay. And a sweater in case the restaurant is cold Florida boy.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 07:08 AM) Yes the US government is smart enough to pull of 9-11, bomb the OKC federal building, hide aliens, and make George W Bush the President, but they can't plant a couple of WMDs in Iraq for people to "find". Great point. Of course you are probably an FBI plant.

Whenever government run health care is debated, nay sayers point to the conditions in military hospitals as proof the government can not run a health system. So the issue has been around for a very long time. One reason our country has gotten stronger through the years is fixing things when the public* gets excited. This may very well be one of those times. *I can't type public without hearing Ron White

I wonder how many Americans that don't wear foil hats believe the government is killing citizens? And I can believe the McVeigh told Nichols he was "connected" and I can believe Nichols believed him. I would just be shocked if a guy lied to get something he wanted.

And my local Korean Presbyterian Church has a similar credo that involves strengthening the Korean community in the area. Churches minister to a specific audience and strive to improve that community and the lives of those members. My Church speaks of belief in one "Catholic and Apostolic Church". We try and improve the lives of Catholics, why a separate Catholic and non Catholic? My employer asks it's members to recite a Oath that begins A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, etc. Why just say Scout? You may feel it is wrong for a Church to minister to, and market to, a specific audience. I don't see a problem with that. If their Mission is to strenghten the Black community in their area, then God bless them and my prayers are with them along with all God's Ministries around the world. And, at least in my book, religion is one area I have zero criticism of Bush. I believe it is genuine and sincere, unlike many of the other candidates.

What would be a whole lot better in this situation is if people actually put some time and resources into helping Native Americans. The poverty rate, health profiles, education levels, etc. are abysmal on the reservations. In the end, this doesn't actually do anything for them.

Pick any player in the middle east and they are the biggest threat to world peace. No other region has the interest of the world like that region. Just ask the people of the Sudan.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 04:13 PM) LMAO. Nothing like every "military man" that's a Democrat coming forward and saying "Iran's next!!!!".

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 03:58 PM) I think I'm going to vomit. Nothing like a military man not wanting to go kill somebody, it'll make anyone vomit.

Man Survives 16 Story Fall and thanks God. Wow, that's original. Welcome to Tex's God talk of the day. If, as this man believes God has a plan for him and wanted him to survive. That's wonderful. But ask yourself, did God's plan call for you to get so f***ing drunk you run through a window? What, is God hangin' with some buds and says, hey, I got a plan for this guy, but first, I'm going to really f*** with him. Get him all liquored up and have him take a 15 story plunge, and break his leg and two collapsed lungs and a torn trachea . Nice plan there skipper. If I was this guy I'd be thinking God has a plan for me but I don't want to play anymore.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 11:44 AM) Even the jury didn't think he was innocent once they got out of the trial and saw all the stuff they were shielded from. I saw a few interviews with them, breaking down and crying because they suddenly saw all of the s***, and realized they probably let go a killer. The defense did a good enough job in the trial to keep a shadow of a doubt in their minds, and therefore they had to go with a "not guilty". As for continuing to go after Simpson, if it makes his life miserable in anyway, and adds a little purpose to the Goldman family, I say keep going after the SOB. Agreed. But notice we never seem to see his mom?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 11:42 AM) Her rep said that "life is hard for celebs, they dont know if people like them for them." WTF does that crap mean? No one would be our friend for the coolness factor or rush of being around a celeb. But who really can trust anyone around them? Let's try a test, everyone send me $100 and we'll see if I'm trustworthy enough to send it back.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 09:17 AM) Would you be offended by an all black college using a mascot where a black person painted their face white and danced very stiff and rigid during half time? That would crack me up.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 10:28 AM) I'd only give him half a vote. See you all in hell. I'm really going to hell. At dinner tonight it was said that Santo and Banks were the heart and soul of those Cubs teams and that the current team lacks that, I replied Santo lacks sole today . . .

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 11:39 AM) My I Pod is broked. The screen display is that sad face and when I plug it into my laptop, I Tunes doesn't even read that it's hooked up. How do I fix it? Have you called tech support yet?
