As part of a broader question, can someone read, view, or listen to, unhealthy messages as part of research, or questioning, and not be harmed? Pete Townsend was busted for looking at child pornography, he claimed was for a project. Someone at the Vatican must have read the book to form an opinion, were they harmed? Could a loyal Sox fan spend the summer as a Cubs fan to see what it's like?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 16, 2005 -> 01:49 AM) Congress has better things to do. Unless the cops or the feds want to arrest these guys for steroids. Otherwise, leave this to major league baseball for christ sake. Plus for cripes sake, why put Thomas and Schlling in the same group with all these guys accused of being on roids. A very high profile American industry may have been systematically violating federal drug laws. Seems like a good place for congress to take a look. Thomas and Schilling are examples of how to do it right. That should come out in the coverage. I would want a "victim" to come forward. Mr. Thomas you finished second in the MVP voting to a known steroid user, do you feel cheated? Powerful message.

Let Our Requests Be Known By Donna Kay Heath Service had started, and the minister began his sermon in our small country church in southeastern North Carolina. Everyone's attention was on the intense words being delivered to us that would feed us for the week and enlighten us on God's word. Because our church was so small, there was no nursery. This gave me the privilege of having my active three-year-old daughter sit with her father and me. Along with being active, Tammie had a gift for words - that is, speaking them - and had not yet mastered the art of understanding that quietness was of the utmost importance in church, especially when the Sunday morning sermon was being delivered! After many admonishments to be quiet, Tammie's father picked her up to take her outside for a little conference. This was not the first time such an event had taken place, and she understood its significance. She also obviously understood the significance of prayer! For as her father picked her up and was walking down the aisle to carry her outside, Tammie reached over his shoulders with her arms outstretched to the congregation and the minister. She then proceeded to call out to all who would listen, "Ya'll pray for me!" Needless to say, it was a few minutes later before we could get back on track with the sermon. Guess it proves we are never too young to "let our requests be known"!

OK, y'all convinced me JR's a lovable, sentimental fool, who I am certain wants Frank to finish his career in a White Sox uniform and if that means signing an admitted steroid user to a minor league contract, then by golly he will. And Frank will consider that magnanimous gesture in his decision to stay, because he and Giambi are tight, like brothers.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Mar 16, 2005 -> 07:03 AM) I can only remember two lines from "The Jerk" 1. The new phone books are! The new phone books are here! 2. I've got a "special purpose". 1. (continued) it is this sort of spontaneous publicity that makes a man . . . 3. I was born a poor black child . . .

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 16, 2005 -> 07:05 AM) That's an interesting scenario. If you are testifying under immunity, can you still exersize your fifth amendment rights? Anyone know how that works? My understanding is the 5th Amendment protects you from self incrimination. Because they have immunity, the person could not incriminate themselves in any crime. Therefor, they must answer the question truthfully or be subject to perjury charges.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 16, 2005 -> 06:23 AM) What's a fair contract for Thomas to finish off his career then Tex? At the expense of Konerko even? My comment is Jerry has shown through the years that sentimental gestures like wanting Frank to finish his career in a Sox uniform isn't his style. I certainly do not buy the conspiracy theory that signing Giambi to a minor league team is linked in any way to Frank. Maybe tossing a bone to Giambi's agent, but that is about it. Jerry does not allow sentiment to get in the way of winning and money. And as far as it only being 3, name 3 bigger superstars on JRs payroll? Going smaller, Sandy Alomar wanted to play one more year, he's in Texas. He has been praised and mentioned as a possible Manager someday. There's no crying in White Sox baseball . . .

I keep trying to remember the Steve Martin line in The Jerk. Something like isn't being a Dentist great! Everyone call you Doctor, but you're really not . . . all the while in "the chair"

We know how much Jerry values a superstar finishing in a Chicago jersey Fisk, Jordan, Frank? Do we really believe that Jerry is going to care where Frank finishes his career?

With my present web hosting situation I can receive email through my domain, but can not send. I know that is standard for most hosting companies to combat spammers, but are there some that will allow me to send and receive from my domain? Confused? I was after re-reading the above. For example. Let's say I owned the domain http://www.texsox.com My hosting company would allow me to receive mail addressed to [email protected] but when I send, I would have to send as [email protected] or whomever is my ISP. I want to send and receive like I had a dedicated server.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 04:30 PM) I'd have to go with Navy Pier. It's nice that they decided to use it for something back in the early '90s but, unless you really like ferris wheels, it's just a crowded tourist trap. When I entertain friends in the city, I like to take them up to 96th floor of the Hancock building for drinks at dusk. The view is spectacular. I love telling them we'll be having drinks at the tip of the (Han)cock

QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) Damn guys it was 5:30 am when I found the article. I was on my way to school. I did not think everyone would spend so much energy trying to change the title of the thread. "Franks lawyers ask to withdraw subpoena" would that make everyone happy? My opinion is it is Frank asking to withdraw . When you have lawyers you are asking through a third party. It is Frank asking.Through his lawyers. For his reasoning, I have a feeling he just does not want to be put in a position of being the snitch. Through his lawyers. Maybe if I had 20,000 posts I would not get people b****ing about my thread title inderectly. Actually you would have many many more

QUOTE(mreye @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) I'm stunned. They probably haven't seen the Breakfast Club either. :headshake Saw Breakfast Club. Ferris? Sorry, I heard scenes from Wrigley and wrote off the movie. I guess some of us are just hardcore Sox fans

I was thinking Water Tower Place as I was writing. I am planning a trip back and planning on meeting up with a friend from Miami and she wants to go there. I thought it was about the worse suggestion.

Taking all things Cub out of the equation, what is the one place you dislike the most in Chicago? That place or thing to do that when you are showing someone around and they ask to see/do it that makes you wanna :puke

I may get banned for this but, I never have seen Ferris, I guess I have to now. Any links?
