QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 11:18 AM) Hellbent?...cause I started a thread to see what people thought of his first day? You're the ones wandering in here, not sticking to the topic. I find the show enjoyable, and since Janet Jackson showed her nasty tit, the religious cooks have been coming out of the woodwork, helping to bring his show down. And I've watched how things are in this country. When I hear congressmen talking about finding a way to censor pay radio/tv, I can only think that they are wiping their ass with the constitution. And I didn't say you were shoving anything down my throat, I asked if you were one of those people...religious right, shove God down my throat, kind of people. It was just a question. No I am not. But you wanted to discuss Howard's show and I believe all the comments have been on topic. The exception is you want a "let's blow Stern's dick, and everybody say he's the greatest" thread. When someone suggested he could be on terrestrial radio again, on some basis, you argued the point. When someone suggests that he's going to have to get past the "we are being persecuted" you argue. I get the fact that you think Sterns is the greatest person on earth. You do agree that fans like you are great for Stern and Sirius? It's him and you baby, fighting the man. Now about the constitution. Quick examples, you cannot yell fire in a crowded auditorium, you can't say on an airplane, I have a bomb. Terrestrial radiowaves are publically owned. No where in the constitution does it say that you can say anything you want at any time. Are you one of those non religious pervert kooks that wants to shout about blow jobs in my kid's ears?

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 11:17 AM) 1-2 yeah I was wrong.. 3 Is a grand slam HR out onto the I-90/94 He's even better than that once you get to know him.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:34 AM) Why do I have to miss all of the exciting stuff? Can someone fill me in? Most of it occured on another message board. Ncorgbl claimed, among other things, to be a Sox shareholder, would personally talk to Reinsdorf, Thomas, etc. Would back his claims by claiming insider information. Sadly, some people were gullible enough to believe it. When his insults and trolling behavior became to much, he was outted. Someone posted his personal information. Where he lived (possibly not the exact address), his occupation, etc. Of course, everything he claimed on-line was a lie. If you put it all on a scale, what he received was probably worse than he dealt, but some would disagree with me on that. I rarely visit that other site, perhaps someone who posts both places may have a better memory. Lost in this was Ncorgbl, at times, could be witty, and had a decent mind for the game. But instead of backing his opinion as John Q. Public, he pretended to be someone else.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 11:02 AM) He's not Mancow...the show is real. The swearing is pretty low on the show. That is not the draw to the show. The guy got fined for reading a transcript of Oprah Winfrey's show. So the show was getting watered down. Just look at all the bulls*** with regular tv. The people getting all worked up over the TO Monday night bit. come on. Are you one of the 'worked up' people Tex? The religious right, shove our bulls*** down your throat, kind of people? Notice that all entertainment, once a taboo is dropped, has to reach for another level. When Laura Petri wore pants on TV, it was a first, and the ratings spiked to see if she would be wearing them that week. When it became old hat, they needed more. Video games, movies, music, they all have to keep pushing some boundry. Stern created an "us against them" fervor with his listeners, great for ratings. You're a perfect example. You will defend Howard against anything. You do realize he is just an entertainer? You are great for his pocket book. You are a missionary for Howard. You will try and convert anyone and everyone to buy Sirius and tune into Stern. He has tapped into the foxhole mentality. You have become a Stern salesperson. That is the area is is most brilliant at. And I am not trying to shove anything down your throat, but you seem hell bent on pushing Stern down everyone's throat.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:43 AM) You'll notice that I have so ffar managed to stear well clear of the current religion kerfuffle. Seems some people are giving us atheists a bad rap over there. Your absence has been noticed.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:50 AM) Very nice, Tex. I've read Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, none of them mention pitchers or catchers.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 07:59 AM) I understand...I'm saying its not going to happen. Stern got so sick of having his show shredded by the censors, that he wouldn't allow it to be edited, and put back on old-fashioned radio. How much of that was a ploy for higher ratings? The more he complained, the higher the ratings. Once people get over the snickering laughs of "he said f***" he will lose the shock and then he'll have to work. On terrestrial radio he had an antogonist to rally against, we'll see who he picks next.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:47 AM) Oh man….when do pitchers and catchers report? I think we all have cabin fever. I have a book at home that proves there are no pitchers and catchers

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:44 AM) No, Voltaire was the man who originally came up with the idea of Deism, And actually Spinoza was the first to prove that the Bible itself was not the word of God, but in fact written by man.. But, hey don't let the facts get in your way of your attempt to argue this. You have been so brainwashed. How can you prove how something was inspired? You're killing me, I'm laughing so hard I can't catch my breath, please stop.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:42 AM) .. See even when the truth is right there in front of you, you have been trained to say it is not.. Typical. That took you 5 minutes to type? You just don't see how your cult has brainwashed you?

QUOTE(Soxy @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:38 AM) I don't think he's playing Tex. I thinking he's writing Trolling For Dummies™ I can't believe he's that dense, he owns so many books on this subject

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:29 AM) I didn't know that BET was around in Voltaire's time.. Who would knew that there was TV in 1700's.. I guess you do learn something new everyday. the deliberate playing stupid ploy. Nice, kind of a rookie play, but you have to start somewhere in a trolling career. Folks remember, you can't wake someone who is pretending to be asleep™.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:27 AM) You might notice that majority of the ideas the chruch has on how to live your lives was stolen from those men.. Actually most of them expounded on Biblical teachings. But hey, keep trying. Many of these ideas are so obvious that even a "mind of his own" thinker like you could have come up with them.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:28 AM) To a degree, but nothing was ever photographed. At the time though, it was mentioned that what the person did was WAY overboard. IIRC a couple posters at WSI gathered some facts and after ncorgbl declined to come clean on his own, they outted him. I believe they even called his ex-wife and possibly his kids. That was IMHO over the line. I understand some sock puppet type stuff, but he took it well beyond normal and used it to attack too many people. Actually I'm a grandmother in Toronto living with my 27 cats and a dog.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 09:52 AM) I see the thread has been filibusterized. That's cool, but I posted it more as a news item and to get people's opinions on it, not to politicize it in any way. My idea. I felt any religious topic was best back here. I'm just guessing that religion may prove to be a hot topic. Of course it hasn't so far

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:12 AM) Who's Yansy? nice. I didn't catch that.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:03 AM) Bible Origins ..

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 10:02 AM) NO Yansy keeps popping up Let's be logical. 10 people are on one side in a thread about Churches, and 1 is on other . Are you that dense? LOL at you being so childish.

Hey! Remember the feeling when Uribe cut across the diamond and fired to Paulie for the final out? Let's all pause, smile, and relax. We have a troll, they always go away when ignored.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 09:15 AM) Eliminating religion will eliminate war. Not quite, but it would eliminate a few. Off the top of my head the Civil War would have happened, Hitler would have been after anyone not blond hair, blue eyed, The Mexican American War would have been fought, of course we have oil to fight over. As long as we have ownership of things, we will have wars. Land, oil, gold, etc. It is too bad that you've been brainwashed by the Cult of those who have no hope for eternal life. I guess if I was condemned to eternity away from God, I would want company. It is so much easier to just so No to God. It is a simpler concept than believing in a higher power.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Jan 13, 2006 -> 12:47 AM) I just re-read the story about the Catholic Church needing to stop worrying about how Judas is remembered 2000 years after the fact and how they need to spend that money instead on feeding starving people.... :headshake 1 Corinthians, by the way. And the Catholic Church has a great track record of that. Are you suggesting that Churches could abandon all religious studies and just concentrate on feeding bodies?

Linked for more information.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jan 12, 2006 -> 11:09 PM) Unfortunately, they have all the answers. maybe for popular questions . . .
