It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all . . .

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) Yeah. I think years of Clinton-era budget cuts and onerous restrictions did most of the damage. I can't wait until Nuke's in the rocking chair talking about Clinton. I guess we never should have believed Reagan and the Peace Dividend he promised after we ran up record deficits. [For the youngin's who probably never knew this. Reagan sold his record deficits by explaining we would destroy the "Evil Empire" (Soviet Union not Yankees) and then be able to cut back on defense and spy spending. ]

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 07:18 PM) Texsox, where was your concern for the criminal in this suicide attempt gone awry? He must have been suffering from mental health issues, right? http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29159&hl= And don't suggest these cases are different because the women followed through her suicide attempt while the man bailed. If anything, the women featured in this thread should be held more accountable then Juan Alvarez. Alvarez's defense could argue he had no intention of injuring/murdering travelers while Jeanette Sliwinski deliberately rammed another motorist. Again, if you're going to commit suicide, don't take others with you. But I didn't advocate having the victim's families beat him with billy clubs and put a bullet in his head, which is what I object the most to in Nuke's World of Mis-Justice. The central debate is what to do with the person who has attempted suicide. If I was forced to pick between the two (and it is probably impossible) I would say that Juan should be held more accountable, he decided not to commit suicide. Someone who follows through is probably more disturb. Again, before it's pointed out, this is all conjecture.

Care to give some examples of weakness bringing on more aggression? If we are tossing out cliches, how about violence begets more violence?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 06:44 PM) We're getting way off topic here but had we sat around and done nothing in places like Berlin 1948, Korea and Vietnam the war hawks may well have been proven right. Way off topic? Is that a sign of mental illness?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) Now that I have been enlightened on that another can of worms has been opened. According to the article that picture helped galvanize opposition to the war. I wonder how many of those hippies made the same mistake I did of assuming that piece of trash was innocent. /Back to your regularly scheduled arguing. Those darn hippies, growing up on presumption of innocent, fair trials, cruel and inhumane treatment, and all those other un-American ideals. Judge, jury, and executioner. Justice, Nuke style. Except he wasn't beaten by some families first. IMHO, this photo did more to galvanize the public against the war And the war hawks were right. Once Vietnam fell, the world went communist. It was also Walter Cronkite giving the death total every night. For some crazy reason, hippies and other Americans don't like seeing our young men and women returning in body bags.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) Love means never having to say you're sorry. I believe bestiality means never having to say your sorry. Love conquers all

Street Execution Linked Here Nuke, I forgot y'all are a youngin' For those of us a little older, that image, and that of a 9 year old girl running from napalm are very vivid. Sorry for the detour.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 06:22 PM) Nice comparison. An innocent person vs a triple murderer. :rolly I guess they don't teach military history anymore. Actually the person being executed killed a number of Americans. I assume the picture of someone getting shot in the head is what made you laugh.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 06:20 PM) Call it what you want to. I call it justice. Beatin with billy clubs then a bullet to the head? Call it justice, well so did he

Does this mean they are or are not a sport?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) C'mon, Show, give it the old college try. The only failure is not to try. give him time because failing to prepare is preparing to fail

So a rational person, free of any mental illness, drives a car into another to commit suicide. Ohhh kay. Perhaps the voices in her head told her to drive her car into another? I don't know why she picked one over the other. If she wanted to "take out the most people with her", why didn't she buy a gun or make a bomb? So many unanswered questions. But with Nuke's justice, What a civilized approach.

2. Astros 3. Rangers I've noticed that my dislike for the Cubs has gotten less and less since I do not have to put up with Cub fans. Order of rooting in playoffs Sox A.L. Central A.L. Yes, I actually cheered for the Twins and the Yankees. I'm an A.L. kind of a guy. Any A.L. team winning is better than any NL team. (except the Astros)

Once it leaves the Yucatan, we'll have a better idea. The prevailing wisdom is it will hook south west and land about 60-80 miles south of me. IIRC being north of the strike is better than the south. Plywood is scarcer than hen's teeth. Same with candles and batteries. I'm buying beer and tequilla. And I have no idea what to do with the trampoline besides uphook the springs. Thankfully it isn't during the playoffs.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) I like Soxy, but not the thread, does that count for anything? a walk is as good as a hit

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jul 17, 2005 -> 05:02 PM) You're doing it again. You've somehow managed to extrapolate from my statement that I'm for killing everyone with mental disabilities and illnesses. That's completely ludicrous and you know it. Find me one statement I made that even approaches advocating the mass genocide of the sick and mentally ill. I won't hold my breath. Additionally, tell me how mental illness is even relevant to this situation. I read that article 3 times and nowhere did it state that she had mental issues. You just automatically assume things like that to use as an excuse for pieces of s*** who commit homicide or other crimes. This is a shining example of the mind of a bleeding heart right here. She shouldn't be held accountable, she must have been out of her mind. She's sick, she's this, she's that. She's a triple murderer is what she is and she needs to pay pure and simple and if feeling that way makes me a barbarian or whatever else you want to call me then I'll wear that as a badge of honor. I love our little debates. The very act of committing suicide is a mental illness. Look at the assumptions you've made. So which is probably a better assumption, she is mentally ill for wanting to commit suicide, or she's a bitter individual who wanted to take out as many people as she could? It was so easy for you to advocate putting a bullet in her head. That's good because that's you job and you are trained well. You need to be able to kill anyone that our government decides should be killed. If you did pause and wonder if someone should live or die you would lose your edge. If she had died also, this probably would have been ruled an accident, that she lost control. I wonder how many other people have committed suicide in this way? Enjoy your Badge of Honor.

Why is it every time the Yankees and Red Sox play it like this world shaping event? ESPN has them on again. WTF. Are there any other teams in baseball? How about a Cardinals game? Angels? Reds? Anyone except these two again. Back to Cowboy U.
