In case you forgot these men were responsible for genocide. I suppose you would have let all the Nazi's escape the hangmans noose because killing them would have produced "martyrs". Spare me. I forgot that killing him brings back the victims. They kill, we kill, they kill, we kill. An eye for an eye leaves both sides blind. Funny how we are so quick to embrace the very acts that we went to war to stop. Nukes world: They torture and kill people, we torture and kill people. Same moral plane. Tex's world: They torture and kill. We arrest, detain, and imprison for life. Higher moral plane. It might be too difficult of a concept for some, Revenge killing is much simpler to understand.

QUOTE(NUKE @ Jan 15, 2007 -> 04:26 PM) B..BBB.BBBB..BBut I thought some survey said servicemembers didn't have a problem with gay people!?!?! Maybe they do and thats why they shouldn't be there. The rest of the US has these laws about discriminating. LOL. The military said the same thing about women and minorities. Grow up. Being gay isn't contagious. You won't get cooties. They won't convert you while you sleep.

If the person responsible would be locked up, then it's time well spent. Of all the stupid cheering and stunts, the wave is the worst.

I thought of the trade mix up and Bevington right away. I had a chance to meet Bev a couple years back and he thanked me for not mentioning that. (It was killing me not to)

Well we can all rest easily. With another deterrent, terrorism has now been wiped from the planet. And yet another martyr was created.

If the guy next to you doesn't want to f*** the same person as you, that's a distraction. Somehow the rest of the population can live and work alongside gays, yet the military can't. Is the big bad sergeant afraid that he may get gay cooties? I'll bet a gay man could hook up wire to a guy's nuts and torture someone just as well as any man or woman currently serving. Threats of violence towards their fellow soldiers? Wow, that's a code of conduct for you.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 15, 2007 -> 10:51 AM) Well there is one big difference there... The dollar is the world's currency. The Peso is barely accepted where it is minted. The only other currency that even sort of comes close is the Euro, and that is still a long way away from dollar status. We process pesos so easily here. Walk into any bank, WalMart, "mom and pop" store and the will accept without hesitation. No problem. When I was working across the border I always had stray pesos in my pocket and it was never a problem using them. Why some people would assume that the only people carrying around pesos are illegals has me lmao. We spend a bunch on advertising in Mexico to get their vacation and shopping business and some people complain when a store takes the extra step and accepts their currency instead of sending them to a cambio to exhange.

Gays and Democrats should be a protected class of citizen and not be allowed to die for their country. I can't believe this is even a discussion. Anyone, regardless of their genitalia, eye color, religion, or sexual preference should be allowed to serve.

Funny how every freakin business in Mexico, except Pemex (gasoline), accepts US dollars and we think that is normal or fine. McAllen's economy recieves hundreds of millions of dollars in sales from Mexican Nationals. South Padre Island lives off Mexico tourists. We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars attracting these tourists. I'm LOL at how ignorant some people are about international commerce.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 11:01 AM) Little trivia (side note) did you know that Baywatch was the first show to have closed captions? I am reading this and thinking why? That, and Hasselholf is a hottie I don't get. I am proud to say I have never watched an entire episode. That show was just sooooo stupid, and I can enjoy stupid TV.

She done grown up purrrty

Whenever a company asks if their products offers a good value for the money I always say no, that it should cost less. Why the hell would anyone tell them they should charge more??

Only chickens take strong stands, especially when it involves the Middle East. Men of courage and conviction would have just tried to appease both sides and not blame anyone. Gee, now I get it.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 07:20 AM) I'll say it another way. Some people choose to continue to make only minumum wage and bounce around from one minimum wage job to another so that they can stay on the "handout" rolls. And some don't.

Not going strange here but Stevie Nicks in Dreams from 1977

So *we* are dying (literally) to give Iraq back to the them. And it will be a victory when we are out?

Did you read the comments?

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 11:03 AM) Agreed that it's a shame, given that his God-given talent allowed him to become the greatest position player of our generation. He was a first-ballot HOFer before he started using that junk. I see your point about his arrogance. Then again, I don't see how it makes him any more of a cheater than Sammy or Mark in their attempt to break Maris' record in '98. We will never know if he was a first ballot, or even a HoF, without using steroids. OK, he isn't any *worse* of a cheater than Sosa or Mac. And your point . . . ? The only point I could make out of that is there are enough to create a Baseball Hall of Shame

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 01:05 AM) The perception after Somalia was simple. If you kill Americans and draw blood, the american public will not have the stomach for it, and will want to get out. Its what our adversaries count on. This is why withdrawing right now is a bad idea. Somalia was *in* Somalia, did they ever attack us on soil other than theirs? Iraq is in Iraq. Perhaps the American public cannot stomach sending our kids to these places to die? I here the above repeated as if Tanzania will see this and march on Florida to take over the country if we leave Iraq. We will not be attacked on US soil from these countries, China isn't going to lob bombs at Oregon, We can leave Iraqis to kill each other and like Vietnam, our lives will go on just fine except we'll have a few extra billion to spend at home to build schools instead of rebuilding schools we've destroyed around the world.

Whitney Houston I Will Always Love You is waaay better than the original. Of course both suck . . .

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 06:51 PM) Look, people. THIS IS NOT ABOUT GEORGE BUSH, HARRY REID, NANCY PELOSI or ANY of these f***tard politicians! We HAVE to win this war. If we left tomorrow, would it be a defeat? What events have to occur for it to be a "win"? How are you measuring defeat and victory?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 05:33 PM) Honestly, with a lot of these companies paying out tens to hundreds of millions of dollars in bonuses, there are probably a lot of college kids who could do almost as good of a job, to the point where the money they would cost the company would be significantly less than the difference in salaries between some random student and the $500 million CEO. I am thinking specifically to this situation. Their rates are lower than what free choice is producing in Texas.
