QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 08:19 PM) You still fail to recognize the difference between being hit by indiscriminatory fire and being kidnapped, tortured, and beheaded because of one's race and/or religion. Did you catch the story about Reuters cameraman Mazen Dana being killed by a mortar round back in August? Or how about the one about Washington Post columnist Michael Kelly, who was killed in a Humvee accident? Most people recognize the difference between bad luck and the intentional slaughter of civilians. Most consider the former an unfortunate, but inevitable part of war. The latter, however, is only accepted by terrorists. Well, that's because communism is wrong. History has clearly shown that it doesn't work. This woman clearly has an anti-American agenda and she doesn't deserve a shred of respect from me. Being angry at the U.S. troops for accidentally opening fire on her car is certainly understandable. Trying to undermine our government with her "Bush tried to assassinate me!" rhetoric, however, is not and, frankly, gives me every right to give this left-wing America-hater the "b****" label. And I agree that we should apologize for making a mistake (if, indeed, the investigation determines that we were at fault). Then again, it's equally possible that her driver made the mistake. We'll have to wait until the investigation is complete. If it was an accident, what difference does it make what political views the journalist who is living or the DEAD Special Ops Agent have?

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) It does seem sad and I'm not trying to sound mean or anything but I almost feel that it's somewhat better that they learn other languages too. It's just too bad that they have to give their own up. I can't believe there is over 6000 lanquages though, too many in my opinion. Americans are so adaptable, I remember when we jumped at the chance to switch to the worldwide accepted metric system back in the 70s. Less adaptable societies would have clung to the old system. I am certain we wouldn't have a problem switching to French

Daniel Pearl, and all civilians in the war zone, ignored repeated warnings from the terrorists that they would be executing people. Not saying it is fair, or not, just pointing out that warnings do not excuse behavior.

I believe President Bush's greatest strength is he hires good people. I might not agree 100% with all of their positions and views, but with one exception, I applaud the way he has filled the positions. In fact, I might regret saying this without thinking all the way back, but he may have the best track record of the past 30 years. Again, taking the politics out of it, I think he has done a tremendous job in this area, across the board. Or does he make them look better?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 12:46 PM) I saw a commercial for that DVD on ESPNews, and I was like "What the f***? Is this real?" I thought it was a SNL parody at first. I did a google search to find out. LMAO on the picks and comments. If it drives like a 4 door sedan, stand back and look closely and see if it IS a 4 door sedan.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 12:03 PM) Just stay at the Pfister with us. That was my favorite Milwaukee Hotel. Are they still operating The English Room? The sommelier, don't call me a wine steward, was excellent. Once, I had called ahead of time, hoping they would have a particular Oregon Pinot in the celler. He called around and could not procure it in time and when I asked about corkage fees he was very nice. We worked out a trade that was very one sided for me. It's little touches like that, that make the Pfister so nice. That and all the marble. The one down side was the var always sucked. Great few but empty and boring. Old Hotels are the best.

Official US Policy is we do not negotiate with terrorists. Unofficially we may negotiate with a 3rd party who negotiates with the terrorist.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) Bush is older than Clinton. And also did lose to him, so I guess I can't complain that Clinton is giving him the bed. It is interesting how our Ex-Presidents all seem to get along. Carter and Ford have discussed this on many occassions. It's a small club. Usually even smaller. At one time I believe we only had Nixon as a living ex-President. Now we have enough Presidents to field a basketball team. I'll guard Ford

FWIW, a guy I know owns a couple LaQuinta Hotels. He's told me the actual best way to a great rate is to call the sales department, explain you visit the area on business and are interested in checking out the hotel. What is the best rate they could offer on X nights. Explain, you would prefer to not book through one of those internet sites, but wish to check out the hotel while on a pleasure trip to the area. It's a white lie of sorts. Many Hotels will offer the price you would get because they actually make more than booking through the agency. It also allows you to choose which hotel you are staying at. It all depends on how much time and effort you wish to invest.

That really should be Tiger behind him . . .

Happy Birthday

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) No should not do. Poisoning my kids is up to me Heck I said "should not" twice They should keep junk foods out of the schools. Same difference. Of course I remember the days of pizza, green beans, and apple sauce; all at the same temperature :puke

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) I agree with him actually. Our public institutions should not be contributing to one of the most preventable causes of death. If parents want to teach their kids bad habits that is one thing, the government should not. Stardate 06 March 2005: Southsider finds something the government should do. I kid, because I care™

All I know is the scene opens with her close friend who is a librarian comes over, let's her hair down, feels ChiSoxy's forhead and exclaims "wow, you are really hot" :rolly cue bad 1970's porno music

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) ^^^^^^^ Prolonged high fever levels can cause brain damage. Besides if your body has been fighting something that hard for 3 days now, something is wrong. Well thank you Mr. Stop the ChiSoxyGirl fantasy thread

Good luck

to be replaced by steroid injections I am in favor of this. I was appalled when I noticed all the junk foods and sodas for sale at my kids Jr. High. Texas pulled out the soda machines a year or two ago and replaced them with water and real fruit juices. I also think school groups are irresponsible when they use candy as a fund raiser.

QUOTE(Goldmember @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) i usually find that long, hot, dirty sex with a really hot female helps. so go find ya a really hot female and post the details later (gotta make sure ya did it right to break that fever)... And because we are concerned about you and that you may pass out or something, have a web cam focused on you the whole time Use the webcam, because we care™ dangit sorry, wrong button....gm :banghead

ChiSoxy is running a fever and comes to us, her "friends" for medical advice. Of course one of our members comes through with this great advice QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) Go into a sauna and burn that virus out.* *may not be good medical advice

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Mar 6, 2005 -> 08:05 PM) Hi guys. I've had a pretty high fever since Friday night (102)--I've been taking acetomphine (about 1000mg per dose), which is supposed to be a fever reducer, but it hasn't been able to touch it. I'm definitely in need of something to take my fever down, anyone have any ideas? A lukewarm to cool bath will help. I've found Ibuprophen to work better plus you can probably double dose without any problems. I don't know your weight, but even a lightweight can take double the dosage for short times without any adverse effects. The worse that may happen is an upset stomache. More likely with the Acetometaphine. I assume you are drinking enough cool, clear fluids. Not much else to do unless you go up another couple degrees. I hope there is someone who can check up on you. If not locally have someone call you or set a time to call them. You may also which to check your temperature using an alternate location or method. Double checking to be certain.
