Didn't we say and do basically the same thing with Iraq? We called for Iraq's distruction, the difference is we'll spend billions of dollars destroying and billions of dollars rebuilding.

Now if they mixed up quotes of Ozzies, that would have been a big problem

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Sigh Oil companies dont set the price of their product..........the oil traders in the pits at the NYMEX do. You knew that. Sigh, the oil companies have an impact on the selling price of gasoline? So the oil companies have no control over their profits? Their profits are determined in the pits? No matter how they run their business, their profits and ultimately our retail price is "fixed"? Wrong Nuke. Their wholesale price of raw materials may be determined, but their efficiencies and price they sell the refined product for is a major factor in their profits. If only we had a President who understood the oil industry, maybe has some friend in the oil industry. Then this stuff would never have happened. Towards the earlier comment about increases in retail while the inventory was bought at a lower price. Let's look at the other side of decreases. Gas just dropped to under $2.00 here. If a store had $2.50 gas in their tanks and needed to sell it out before lowering, they would be out of business. Those that have not resupplied are losing on the rest of their storage tanks, but we all know they won months ago when prices went up. That's the game. Plus, at least for one chain down here that I am familiar with, on a retail level, they make way more money on food and sundries, than on fuel. They are happy if they can make a small profit on the gas.

Congratulations on your first thread start. I'm betting you'll improve from here. BTW, you could have dropped this nicely in the Sex, Lies, and Politics Forum "Catch All Anything Thread", which is pinned for your pleasure at the top.

Environmental Science was the MB. My current Troop started because of a similar Scoutmaster moment. He basically handed his son an Eagle medal. The dad was literally an all-world Scouter. International Scouting, author of merit badge books, a very decent guy, but he had a son that had "issues", hated Scouting, and was so openly defiant it defies description. I don't think dad could handle it. We started this Troop in 2000 and have fluctuated between 15 and 35 Scouts. We just spun off a Venturing Crew, which is a BSA program for young men and ladies 14-21. Very cool dynamics and I'm enjoying challenging this age group. Great group of kids. They all asked me why I was at the meeting last night instead of in front of the TV watching the White Sox. That included Astros, Red Sox, and Yankee fans.

Glad to see you trust the government to kill citizens. Equally interesting that we used Iraq's use of the death penalty as justification to take over their country. I don't trust our justice system enough to allow humans to be put to death. There have been too many mistakes both in innocent people being found guilty and guilty people going free. It isn't a deterrent, doesn't save money, doesn't bring back the victims.

Frank has it.

While not technically a post LCR's thread title They're Like the Olsen Twins only Nazis Is the funniest damn thread title in a long time. Just wanted to share

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 07:48 AM) This is the best post in the history of soxtalk. WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Self nomination is sooo uncool

LOL. This is one happy dude to be around.

Rally Crede can not take any time off this off season. For the first time in my lifetime, the off season can only be worse than the end of the season. I don't see us adding a huge name to the roster, just trying to hang on to what we have. We have gut retching times with Konerko and Thomas, and all that World Series s*** I bought last night to pay for. Dammit, I needed 3 sweatshirts living in South Texas

Just to be clear, I still think some of y'all are real idiots, have zero common sense, whine waaaaay to much about media treatment, think players are fans, and a few other things. I'm not letting this sentimental ooooh we are the champions feeling to cloud my judgement.

QUOTE(HermanFontenot @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 12:22 AM) Hate as a sports term, of course. My hate for the White Sox is strictly rivalry hate. Not real hate. That I reserve for the Yankees and Red Sox Really, I all I wanted was for the AL Central to get the kind of representation it deserved. We couldn't do it, but at least you guys did. I hope the world knows now that the AL Central is the best division in baseball (except for the Royals ). I know what you mean, it's all fun. Besides we can agree on hating the Twins, so that's good

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 12:19 AM) Probably will seem ironic from a fan with my name on here but thanks. You guys gave us one hell of a run for our money this year, like you always do, and it made the season that much more fun. Thanks man! Boooooooooo Allow me to translate. What Nuke meant to say was EAT s*** CLEVELAND!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 12:13 AM) Fixed How about a mention for me for staying out of the chat?

I always cheer for the AL Central, so I never really hate the Tribe. Next season will be fun and exciting.

I wish there was a way to easily print all of this thread.

To honor this achievement let's let all the banned posters back Just kidding

The Bears electrified the city and suburbs more. From Antioch to Kankakee. There was never a doubt about just how good the Bears were. So there was a lot more chest thumping. I just told Kap that last night was the moment I knew the Sox were there. From the first inning I never worried, I *knew* they were going to win last night. I never doubted and posted No worries y'all a dozen times.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) I Gotcha covered. Gee Nuke, it must have been hard seeing a great GOPerhead like Pres. Bush and his mom down there in an Astros jacket.

That had to be a nightmare for the umpire. Last out, and a slam bam play at first.
