Past behavior should be part of the equation and if that means AJ had a shorter leash, then I would be a hypocrit for disagreeing.

Happy Birthday!!

It's OK for the school to have school sanctioned rally's for their football team and force the school to cheer the players, but not say a prayer?!

may the God of your choice, watch over your mother and help her to a speedy recovery.

They were the poster boys for reform. Ten years, hell five years earlier, and they would have received a slap on the wrist.

QUOTE(samclemens @ May 24, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) shoulda, woulda, coulda. lets face facts, fox is just another banana republic corrupt asshole. we all know that he wants an open border because if all mexicans had to actually work in mexico he would actually have to do his job and try to fix the horrid economy there, instead of line his pockets at the expense of our border. I believe you are confusing Fox with the regime he replaced.

Van Dorp was involved in a very memorable hockey fight against the North Stars. As the teams were skating in the warm ups, he took a swing at a Star's player and the everyone joined in. The refs had not entered the rink and they stood aside and watched. IIRC Hawks coach Keenan also stood and watched. The game was delayed almost 20 minutes from starting, and it took to close to midnight to complete the 3 periods.

Damn, I like the guy. I really am sad whenever any of our leaders let us down so I hope this is all smoke and bulls***.

BA will be out there in late innings and hopefully will snag an AB or two. This takes some pressure off and allows him to develop at his own pace. Maybe he is being pushed too soon.

draft blunders are a dime a dozen in all sports and especially in baseball are meaningless. The stadium thought is excellent, and often overlooked. Look at all themoney that has been tossed into it later.

The key thing is we all will be in a data base and they will be checking our status to work.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 24, 2006 -> 08:52 AM) When has 100 kids spontaneously getting together to pray been banned? I can google it. There have been long standing traditions, like at some Texas football games that have been blocked, then when a couple kids have started, they have been silenced. Stuff like that. Better question, why is it ok to get everyone together to cheer the football team during an assembly, but not ok if a prayer is offered? I have never seen a survey where the majority where offended or wanted the prayer banned. It is usually one or a handfull at most. To me, the freedom of speech of the majority is being curtailed.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) has anyone ever stopped you from bowing your head and praying? If a kid wants to say grace before eating his lunch in a public school, no one is stopping him or her. Nor would they ever try. And if 100 kids want to get together and pray at lunch, it does get banned. What is wrong with someone sitting quietly while the majority in attendance at an event offer grace or any prayer? I respect the beliefs of everyone, including those that do not belief in a higher power. I have sat quietly during Hindu ceremonies, and probably every other major religion. If the entire school has to go to a rally for the basketball team, why can't the graduation class say a prayer?

Nuke, I am surprised you agree with this proposal, which places us in agreement. It is only checking new hires, and only after a system is funded and in place. That is the perfect solution, IMHO. The competing bill would have employers checking every employee.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 24, 2006 -> 04:28 AM) If it's okay for Mexico to set tough immigration standards based on their needs, it shouldn't be any of his damn business what the immigration standards of the US are. It does effect his country's citizens, he should be concerned, he should speak out, but he shouldn't be on the side of illegal immigration. He should be on the side of respecting both side's needs, and respecting the laws of that nation.

Here's a liberal Democrat that also prays and feels my rights are violated when I can't. I believe I have freedom of speech also.

A Happy belated bnirthday!!

Even more shocking is that Mexico and the US has different needs. Who could imagine both countries doing what is best for themselves. Shocking!

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ May 19, 2006 -> 10:41 AM) Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez' parents may have been illegal aliens. This came out during an interview on CNN so nobody actually saw it. Such is a very common story. Second generation kids do very well. There parents, in many cases, push them to get educated and make soemething of themselves.
