US Troops shoot freed Journo
QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) So I guess we just throw Mussolini in their face and call it even? I'm not certain where you are going with this. My much earlier post was pointing out that recently, the Italian public and government was outraged at US military conduct and punishment. Public opinion in Italy will once again be anti-American for this action. If you think they are wrong for remembering the prior act, all I can say is it is human nature to remember, much harder to forget. 20 innocent Italians on ski holidays died. Not in a war zone, but on a mountain. It is very hard to forget that. The world remembers when we got an address wrong and bombed the Chinese Embassy, just like we remember Tiananmen Square; where China's government was on the wrong side of freedom and democracy. We should remember the Holocaust to be certain it doesn't happen again, (sadly we remember but do not act for the Sudanese, who are being slaughtered). We remember Pearl Harbor and the world limits Japan's military decades later. I do not know if it is fair or not to remember these things, but we do. I suspect it is a universal human trait. We remember the bad much longer than the good. Perhaps that is a hard wired survival mechanism. Remember the food that got us sick or the animal that kicked our ass when we only had a spear.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 09:22 AM) Exactly how long are you able to hold a grudge against a forgein military, just out of curiousity? It seems like forever, didn't we talk about American military deaths in France from over 50 years ago, as why France should have backed us in Iraq? Didn't we also discuss what Saddam had done in Saudi Arabia more than 5 years ago to justify taking him on again? My point is this ratchets up anti-American sentiment not only in Italy, but in other countries as well. I am not saying that the soldiers acted inappropriately, that more than likely will be up to a military trial, if it even comes to that.

Google biased against White Sox
I receive the Sun-Times updates and alerts for the White Sox at my gmail account (invites available, only 50 left). I usually never glance at the advertisements that line the right side of the of the page, but did this morning. Nothing but Red Sox ads. Every stinking one of them was Red Sox this and that.

US Troops shoot freed Journo
QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 09:08 AM) That was at least 5 years ago, I am not sure how that is relevent to now? Once again the US military kills innocent Italians. France declined to back us in Iraq a couple years ago, yet many people here still think it is relevant, don't you think the Italian government and people will immediatly remember the plane accident?

China's influence on the world positive?
Amazing what $200 wide screen tv's and 7' tall centers will do for your image around the world. China is the greatest threat to America's manufacturers. Billion workers who can A. make things very cheaply B. not afford the stuff America makes to balance any trade. C. in the words of a great American, and Eagle Scout, once said, "giant sucking sound"

What restaurant would you eat from everyday?
It wouldn't be any of my favorites, because I narrow cast those. It would have to have a wide range of flavors from sushi to spaghetti. Crazy Buffet would be it. Summers, US Cellular Field

Illini # 1 or bulls Playoffs?
I am a bit burned out by the NBA, so go Illini. An unbeaten record would be very cool and good for college basketball. It will be interesting to see how the brackets shape up.

Frank invited to testify about steroids
If it was ever discovered that Frank, intentionally or unintentionally did steroids, I'd be crushed and never watch another game. If I was chairing the committee, and wanted to send a statement that steroids are bad, and grab some headlines, I'd want a victim to testify. Someone who worked hard, did it the right way, and was obviously screwed out of his due. Frank would be at the top of that list. Congressman and Congresswomen, fellow Americans, here is what good genetics and hard work will get you. This is the ultimate that these other guys could not get to, so they cheated. Mr. Thomas how do you feel, knowing you lost the 2000 MVP award to an admitted steroid user? If I was Frank, I'd be there and unload on a few guys. Frank has always been outspoken to a fault, please do not disappoint now big guy. "The honest will be rescued from harm, but those that are crooked will be destroyed." Proverbs 28:18

Catch-All Anything Thread
In the 1950s, Nicholai was a criminal living in Prague. Before long, the police were on his trail. Nicholai fled to Budapest, where he hid in the home of his cousin, Josef. That didn't work; the police soon found him. They arrested both men. Nicholai was charged with his crimes in Prague. And Josef was charged with caching a bad Czech!
