QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 08:14 AM) I absolutely do. That is actually in the plans, the problem is that people on both sides don't want peaces, and they do everything that they can to stop it. The more militant Palestian factions are not happy with a homeland that doesn't include all of Israel, so they conduct their operations to derail the peace process with Israel, who then drags feet on everything siting security concerns. That's exactly how I read it. I would amend your post to read "some people on both sides", but I assume you would agree as well.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 07:21 AM) In Game Gold Buyer and Seller not that I advocate this, but I've heard sites like this are good. I might write a book one day called "If I bought powerleveling, this is how I'd do it" Wouldn't it be interesting if the WoW people were behind the reselling? Kind of like the Cubs opening their own ticket broker service. You know, just tossing a log on the fire. They have unlimited gold to sell. It would become inflationary if they opened the coffers. This would react like any other economy.

SS, Do you see a compromise that gives the Palestinians a homeland similar to what was given to Israel? It seems the world found a homeland for Israel, can't we carve out a niche for Palestinians?

My son was just telling me someone offered him cash for his gold. Amazing. I could see this concept morphing into a gambling site with a little effort.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) Tide w/ Bleach works well. For tougher areas, add water and use a deck brush. Pressure washing to finish is recommended if possible, but a strong hosedown will work. If you are going to use a pressure washer, do not use the "0" degree tip, you will create chicken scratch marks on your driveway. Use the 15 degree as a minimum.

Damn, it's 38 degrees here, after being in the 80s yesterday and I'm heading to Galveston where it will be even colder. I'd rather be heading south, but with all the Inaugural fun, I think I'll stay stateside for a while.

Thank you Rex, we do Kickass together, just remember to have everyone vote for me so we can. I don't think I would have gone with this color scheme. The red on a barney purple background wouldn't be easy enough for the seniors to read.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Hey my inaugural balls are open to all! Hey, I thought we agreed, you work your side of the street and I'll work mine. 72 and his noodly appendage seems to be the threat.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 09:58 PM) my PA ain't going anywhere near your inaugural balls mine either And we don't have to worry about Rex's, so 72

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) Will Sasso...and some hot chick. BTW, MrsPA is so invited to my Inaugural Ball.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 09:39 PM) Yeah, but they locked up mainly to protect them from redneck Texans from beating the crap out of them, not because the government hated them. I do believe that if Iran starts "gaining trust" and such, through bs letters like this, it won't be too long before people start handing them whatever they want. I also agree, I don't trust any government, but I especially don't trust the governments over there. But trust me, if I could find Sherman and Mr. Peabody, I would hijack their Wayback Machine and re-punch my last Presidential election ticket without a second thought. Yep, y'all don't understand border justice I find it hard to believe they could gain that much trust, but who knows, stranger things have happened. I don't think that humans are very different around the world. The more I meet people who have been raised in other countries, the more I believe that.

My pollsters have NorthSide72 leading with 64% of likely voters. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 09:03 PM) Great. Now we're doomed.

LMAO http://hotair.com/archives/2006/11/29/vide...infeld-episode/ Awesome stuff from National Lampoon

Yes, for their own protection, because we hated them, like each side in the middle east hates each other. But I believe that can be changed, and in as little as one generation. I also got to thinking, Israel isn't thousands of years old, how could the hatred go back that far? I don't trust any leader over there, or around here for that matter I am not an expert on the current state of manufacturing in Iran, but from what I've read, they do not have the metalworking and other necessities to manufacture the armaments for a world war. Germany did, plus had the knowledge as well.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 27, 2006 -> 08:20 PM) Actually, I'm completely changing my approach to the SoxTalk elections. I need to see pics of everybody to see who is the best celebrity lookalike, and I'll cast my vote based on how much I like/dislik the people y'all look like. Ah, Democracy is a beautiful thing! Roger Clemens or Texsox, you decide Notice the ocean blue, Jim. Hey Rex, my forehead is bigger than yours

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) Ahmoud Ahmaniac isn't in the same league as Adolf Hitler of 1939 just yet. But Ahmoud Ahmaniac is definitely in the same league as Hitler of 1933-1935 and, honestly, I think that the people who are talking about this speech as a great opportunity or are taking it as more than cheap talk are in the same league as Neville Chamberlain of Always. Iran doesn't have the resources like Germany did. They have too small an industrial base to produce the necessary weapons. The only chance he could approach a Hitler like existence is to convince China, Russia, or the US to back him. I don't think anyone believes this is a great opportunity. It would be good to know if this was translated and broadcast in Iran. As we have learned countless times there, it is far more important to know what they are telling their people, not what they are telling us. He is also astute enough to know that words will not change American policy. But such is diplomacy. Saying it is more valuable than not saying it.

Gee, I'm shocked

Whoa big fella How about them Bears?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 07:26 AM) OMG, so a free marketplace is actually paying a higher rate than the union ones? I thought that wasn't supposed to happen?!?!? The Unions provided value a generation ago. They lead the way to clean up industries and better, safer, working conditions. The government has stepped in and via OSHA, minimum wage laws, and public campaigns, the unions just are not as necessary, if at all. They are a dying industry.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 01:10 PM) If I had to pick two guys I wouldn't mind talking politics with it would be those to guys, and maybe Bill Kristol (sp?) wow didn't see that coming

QUOTE(retro1983hat @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 12:19 PM) Good point, but a comedian should have an arsenal of replies to hecklers. Commenting on their clothing or who knows what else. He should have come out the next day and said he was making a joke and it flopped. It is interesting how this happened on a Friday night, but there was nothing done until the video became public on Monday. Without the video, he probably would not have said anything yet. However, the two guys at the club should not be entitled to a dime from a lawsuit. He is a poor comedian, and everything else, that has been said. I just can't take the final step and call him a racist based on one situation. That is about as bad as what he did.

The poor also face the challenge of attending schools with the lowest expenditures per student. By the time they get to college, and the financial aid windfall, they are behind their wealthier classmates.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 11:01 AM) Will it help or hurt my election bid to say that James Carville is a douche bag's douche bag? He and Karl Rove are cut from the same political consultant cloth.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 10:55 AM) Fair enough. Since the question of whether to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and the consequences of the EPA's non-regulation is being argued before the Supreme Court as we speak, I figured it would have been a topical point for an opening salvo in the debate. Great, more presidential hopefuls who don't read the news. Tex, you're right, CO2 emissions should fall under Clean Air because it is known in excess to harm environmental and human health. Simply knowing that however will not change the status quo unless the point is explicitly and legally made. IMHO It was explicitly and legally made but a creative interpretation of the Clean Air Act has brought it to this point. I have read the arguments that CO2 is naturally occurring and should not be regulated, but in the levels that we are currently generating, it is clearly a pollutant and clearly must be legally regulated and reduced. It is the pressure from a huge industry, the power generating industry, that is causing us to bow to economic interests instead of our own health interests. I can't answer this any more directly and firmly. Yes I favor regulating CO2 as a pollutant. I favor the Supreme Court in clearly defining that.
