  1. QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 04:05 PM) It's an impossibility, however that the jaw morphology of a betta won't accomodate eating a goldfish. In the wild, B. splendens feeds on zooplankton mosquito larvae and the like - they are not piscivores. uhmm, exactly what I was thinking . . . I have for sale a FlaSoxxJim to English (with Latin subtitles) phrase book available on eBay.
  2. Well I guess after checking off the Comedy Network as a future employer, he might think about the Red Sox. Dumb try at comedy. Too bad he couldn't speak in "green"

    I don't think I ever saw a negative number.
  4. QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 07:59 AM) I haven't lost sight of this fact. And I agree on the migrant worker program. And I think we need to change the Visa restrictions to be, in most cases, more lenient. But that is still no excuse, now or later, to evade the laws of this land. We evade laws all the time. People here argued that Texas should not enforce the drunk in public laws. Drive down 94 and see how many are holding to the speed limit. I imagine of you were freezing to death you would break into a home to get warm. Starving and you would steal food. So there are excuses for breaking the law, some valid, some not. Is it valid for a farmer to hire illegals when no one else would pick his crops? Is it wrong for a dairy farmer to hire an illegal to clean the feed yards when no one else will? Somehow our economy found jobs for 12,000,000 people. For the most part, and there are some exceptions, these people lead quiet lives, not wanting to get arrested for anything and being deported. They are far more likely to be a victim of a crime, and never report it, than to commit one. If not for the political battle that the parties have hoped for, this would not be an issue. Like Presidents before him, Bush would have quietly allowed the practice together. The great GOP President, someone that Republicans call the greatest ever, Reagan knew that these workers were necessary. What we have today are politicians and pundits fanning the flames of racism with cries of terrorism and widespread American (re white) unemployment. Watch out fot the boogey man, he's sneaking across the border tonight to steal your jobs and commit untold acts of terror.

    doable isn't what you think . . . southsider is actually used by 13 individuals, no way one person could post that much. One of those is a genious, the one that agrees with me, the other twelve are dimwitted.

  10. QUOTE(Timoperezrulez @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 10:19 AM) Thats not a bad idea, but I think we have to wait a little longer because the contest is not very poplular right now as you can see, so once we get more members involved we can do that. Perhaps if we have the rules finalized, we will have more members involved. Did you like that variation? It is basically a variation on the football winners pool idea. If so, why not pick a start date, perhaps Monday vs. the Tigers, we'll promote it hard all weekend, and see who gets involved? I don't want to take over your idea, I think it is a good one.

    QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Apr 5, 2006 -> 06:50 PM) My apologies. But I stand by what I wrote. That's fine, but please remember that standing on the other side are the mods and admins that are not going to let this season get out of hand with personal attacks. We understand that new posters sometimes take some time in getting comfortable and understanding what we will allow. There are boards that try to be all things to everyone and will allow anything by anyone, some people like that. There are boards that if you don't agree with the board owner and have perfect manners, you are gone. We're somewhere in the middle and we like it that way.

  14. Once again we seem to have lost sight on an important fact, illegals are working jobs that we need done. There are not 12,000,000 out of work, able bodied individuals, willing and able to work these jobs. There are not employers making busy work for people. Most companies have no fat in their operations, that was all so 60s. If we send them packing, who wins? Very few, and we all lose. Bush has the right idea, a guest worker program. The details have to be worked out, but we can't let the rhetoric and overt and covert racism, cause us to cripple our service sector. One of the great things about the US is we have the most peaceful borders in the world. We have vast land borders with few problems. Contrast that to many places in the world, and it is plain to see we have not had to invest much to keep peace with our neighbors.

  19. QUOTE(Soxy @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 12:47 PM) Actually, I've complained to my high school and college for flying the flag improperly (not lit at night, improperly flown at half mast, having a state flag equally high, etc). It boggles my mind. Unless your paper route included ships, you probably mean half staff, a mast is on a sail boat. When flying the flag at half staff, or mast, the flag is always briskly flown to the top, then slowly lowered. When retiring the colors, once again the flag is brought to the top and briskly brought down. The laws have changed and a state flag may be at the same height. Originally Texas was the only state accorded that honor, as it was the only country that willingly joined the Union and the Texas flag was originally a national flag. Now any state may fly at the same height, but it must be to the US flag's left (right as the audience looks at it.) Interesting institutional breaking with etiquette. The US flag is always to the speaker's right when on a stage (audience left). In synagogues, the Israeli flag occupies that place of honor and the US flag is moved over.

  21. QUOTE(Soxy @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 09:48 AM) I am having a very weird day. QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 04:49 PM) So, the Hardee's commericals are pissing me off some. I don't need to hear people eat. Also, I want to use this time to tout two rather great-working medicine type things, being that I'm sick. Flonase seems to combat some of my worst hay fever while even taking just a half dose. Is there anything better than a Ludens Throat Drop? I mean, I like the Halls Fruit Breezers as well, but that classic cherry flavor can't be topped. Just sayin. This may be why I love this site.
