Two men, sentenced to die on the same day, were led down to the room where the electric chair was. The priest had given them last rites, the formal speech had been given by the warden, and a final prayer had been said among the participants. The warden, turning to the first man, solemnly asked, "Son, do you have a last request?"The man replied, "Yes sir, I do. I love the Chicago Cubs. Could you please play this video of their highlights?" "Certainly," replied the warden. He turned to the other man and asked, "Well, what about you, son? What is your final request?" "Please," said the condemned man, "Kill me first."

Anyone care to relive the outrage when a supposed liberal stage a play during the Rebulican National Convention?

I am against the death penalty. You can not bring someone back to life if an error was made. Humans are flawed, the system to convict someone isn't foolproof. DNA labs have made mistakes, eyewitnesses are unreliable. Our system is not equal for all. Wealthy accused have access to resources that keep them from being convicted, the poor have to rely on poorly trained, little experience, and few resources to mount a defense. Drug dealers, gang members, and similar criminals already live in a world where someone could kill them in an instance. A government death penalty isn't a deterent. If possibly dying was a deterent, they couldn't be drug dealers and gang members. The other major category of murderers are family members under severe emotional stress. They aren't stopping to think if their state will lock them up in prison forever, or condemn them to death. There is no statistical difference showing capital punishment lowers the murder rate. Not state by state, or country by country. Thou shall not kill doesn't have an asterisk. When the government places little value on human life, so does the citizens. Capital punishment actually leads to more violence. The government should model the behavior they expect from the citizens. Our constitution prevents cruel and unusual. If we allow the government to kill someone, could anything else be "unusual" or cruel? Jim

We can thank Nuke and all other service men and women who have assured Cindy's right to free speech. You bastards

Sure does beat the increases that our leaders vote the next generation. But doesn't he know if he cut everyone's taxes by 50%, the country would be swimming in money.

QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Jan 28, 2006 -> 01:11 AM) Another reason to be a Democrat. I spoke with New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine today while hanging out at the Governor's mansion. Before complementing me on my beard, he did in fact confirm that he is a lifelong White Sox fan. So, did you flirt back . . .

Washington Bullets are the last team I can think of to make a change because of connotation. Tampa Bay Ray sounds like a caller on a bad sports talk show. How about the Tampa Bay 2 for 1? Tampa Bay Senior Citizen Discouts? That was they can market at the same time. I'm shocked they aren't talking about dropping the Tampa Bay. I'll bet the Vegas Devil Rays would draw better.

By the way, this highlights a big problem in the 24/7 barage of media noise. A commentator has to either catch lightening in a bottle (Rush, right place, right time) or become more and more outragous to attract attention and ratings.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 08:31 PM) Ann Coulter, just like Moore and Howard Dean (to a lesser extent, which is amazing) on the left, is a fringe cook dips*** who needs to have her vocal chords extracted. Then, if she learns to talk in sign language, she needs her arms cut off. I know she's trying to be all satirical, but she's a complete ditz b**** who needs to STFU. But isn't it wonderful how that trio can bring us together? I agree 100%, and LMAO that in that group, Dean is the moderate. :headshake

Huge internet, millions and millions of sites, and we just hang out here

I'm not a boxing fan, but this caught my attention. That guy is freakin' huge.

Soxy can correct me if I am wrong, but after checking several of my Psychology text books and reference works, my theory is that she is in 2nd grade and learning cursive.

Sounds like an opportunity to hit the bars . . .

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 10:32 AM) Mimes. Every damn one of them. Even the ones with the baseball bats and the rollerskates from The Warriors. Especially them. My son and a buddy were looking for a movie to rent. I hooked them up with a really funny comedy - Warriors I sooooo like the mimes in that movie. They can stay. The others need an butt kicking. And anyone that substitues butt for ass, when that is an acceptable usage.

are there any decent humans playing in the nba? I am so disgusted with the nba (artest etc.)

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 08:30 PM) Konerko himself said that the Thome acquisition was a huge reason that he decided to return. Don't believe everything you read. Do you think helping the front office with a future PR problem, would be part of the deal?

LOL

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jan 27, 2006 -> 04:16 PM) I haven't seen the commercials, well, maybe one. But I didn't pay that much attention to it. I'll watch closer next time. I have to watch now, once the real campaign starts, he won't spend a dime south of 37.

It's so bad, it's indie . . .
