I never, never, never, would have called you at work and said the rings arrived. Far better to plan a surprise. you have got to teach that boy. Remember, men are like carpet, lay them right the first time and you can walk on them forever.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) I respect your viewpoint, but I can't fully agree. Once someone does things as heinous as he did, with a complete lack of regard for anyone's feelings, then his life is meaningless and his existence helps no one. If that was my daughter hanging I honestly could do anything and everything to avenge her. I can fully understand your desire for revenge. But is revenge a moral reason for murder? I think we would be more sympathetic to revenge than sexual gratification as a motive, but that doesn't make it correct. And don't worry, I can't always fully agree with my stance either. I just know that state sponsored violence isn't any better than any other violence. We are fighting a war in Iraq because we disagree on who is deserving of death. Sadamm had one definition, we have another. By accepting a belief that we are all God's creatures and Thou Shall Not Kill, it makes these debates easier for me.

My opinion is grounded in a belief that all human life is precious and no one has the right to take that away. Once we accept humans ending other human's lives, we perpetuate our violence.

Energy is a big cost in my business. Starting with the 10 cylinder truck to pull the rig, two 18 hp engines buring 3-4 gallons per hour, and two diesel burners buring 1-2 gallons per hour, I notice the increases. Any company that relies on a mobile salesforce is also struggling. I'm not worried, because Bush will save us. Remember fellow GOPerheads. Let's Hammer the Dems in 2008 Another Texan to save the world.

Interesting read, which happens to support my opinion ;-)

When there are dozens or hundreds of content sites vs. one (iTunes), will that change your opinion?

I was thinking that instead of listening to fans and paid talking heads, I'd see what the professionals who are paid to set the odds are thinking, plus what people who will fork over a credit card think. here's one link Seems like either we have a chance, or Sox fans are too generous in their investments.

They will go into the playoffs with the highest odds of any AL team.

I was noticing all the new manufacturers offering portable, hard drive, media players. It appears the market is shaping up like the PC vs. Mac game. Apple continues to keep the iPod as a proprietary device versus the rest of the world. I see the iPod market share dropping into the teens within 3-4 years, if not sooner. With dozens, even hundreds of companies working on MP3 players and accessories Apple faces a major battle despite inventing the market.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 09:33 AM) rats, my dirty secret is out! Actually I'm an unabashed fan of pale ale, which is the blanket term for all traditional UK bitter and such as well as their quality counterparts produced elsewhere. Some UK beer snobs will use the designation only for bottle conditioned products and call cask conditioned versions bitter, but historically that dichotomy is in err. Apparently I am not a beer snob, merely a beer geek. Now, if you had called me a pisswater megabrew fan, there'd be some I'd never do that.

I do not believe we can advocate violence and condemn violence at the same time. I especially do not believe the government should be in the business of killing citizens. If he is found murdered, I will have the same disdain for his murderer(s) as I do for him. Once we start placing relative values on human life we jump on a slippery slope that leads to all sorts of moral nightmares.

Thank you Jim. I may I return the favor for my favorite Conservative, Rush loving, pro war,prohibitionist,, pale ale loving, cub fan

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 07:03 AM) There's some filtering going on alright. FoxNews is the highest rated cable news channel so the audience is filtering themselves in that direct vs. CNN, MSNBC and whatnot. They also seem to be filtering themselves on political talk radio. Limbaugh, Hannity, O'Riley, Reagan, etc. are all over the AM dial. They are there because they get good ratings. They get good ratings because people choose to listen to them. Mega Dittos to that YASNY! And those shows have done that by screaming media bias. Interesting in athis area which voted 83% for the Democratic candidate in the last election, there are no moderate or liberal shows on the air. Just Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly, Ingrams, Savage, etc. Could that have something to do with the giant corporations that control the programming and the advertising? If the public doesn't have a choice, how can you point to the GOPerhead's show ratings and make any conclusion? With giant corporations controlling the media, we are getting programming that they want, not the reverse. Broadcasters have been benefiting from GOP policies in regards to monopolies for the past couple decades. In turn, the giant broadcasting companies are kissing the GOP backsides. YAS, you remember the days when the same company could not own a TV station, radio station, and newspaper in the same city. Now it has become common place.

Humans, at their worst, are the cruelest animals on the planet. :headshake

Let's go kick some ass. They have WMD and are willing to use them. Load the planes, recruit more soldiers, call the UN, ok skip that last part, support our Troops!! This is why we need Tom Delay in the White House. Those bastards would already be dead with the Hammer in charge.

Oh s*** that's what we don't need. Using up all the wins in the regular season.
