Offical GET ROBIN BACK thread!
I'm with CW. He's one of my all time fav Sox players, and if we were mired in 4th with no place to go, I'd buy into a nostalga roster move. Not this season. BTW, I searched, does anybody remember that monster month Robin had when he was with us. Batted like .500 with 12 HRs, finishing the month with a walk off? He was A.L. player of the month. I'm certain my old and feeble mind is off on some of the stats, I just remember watching that last game of the month.

Sometime in the future "ahmm, Alex, this has been fun but I feel like Charles Nelson Riley I've been on this show so long. With me on the ratings have gone through the roof, we're kicking everybody's booty in the time slot. I think it's time for me to move on. CBS is offering me a nice gig on Wheel and I think I'm going to take it."

Steff, How often have you posted something and later shook your head that it was so misrepresented? I know I can communciate better in person than in a post. Even with green, subtle humor is lost, you cannot see the other person's reaction to tell if they "get" it. We almost never see what the person looks like, etc. Same thing that people have a different persona at work, at the gym, on vacation. Plus here we talk about the Sox quite a bit, in real life you probably talk to your friends about more than the Sox.

Oh well, the official 9/11 report says no state sponsor, our resident Arab hater believes there was. I've learned my lesson and will shut up. 4E would refuse a life saving transfusion if it meant Arab blood. :headshake :banghead

:headshake So why even involve Bin Laden? Did you even read what I wrote? Why would Bin Laden skip all over the middle east recruiting?- reflecting past and present
Just watch out for bugs errrrrrrr insects- A failure of imagination
If you were gathering up a group and could fill the entire group in one spot would you bounce all over the place recruiting?? Bin Laden could find everyone he needed in one spot, why go anywhere else? That doesn't mean the Saudis trained and sponsored these men. Or should Bin Laden say. I want 6 Saudis, 8 Egyptians, 6 Syrians, etc.? Of course he wouldn't want to skip all over the middle east recruiting and of course he could have stopped in anyone of several countries and recruit more than enough people. The entire middle east is full of people who hate us for protecting Israel. Plus he was trying to put together a team. Having something in common make sit easier to form a team. Having everyone from one country makes it easier. Just because they were all Saudis doesn't prove the Saudi government trained them or sponsored them, any more than McVeigh being in the Army means the US sponsored his terrorist act.- A toilet not for the faintest of hearts

I believe that everyone has an on-line persona that is different than in "real life". We all can express ourselves better in person, verbally, with gestures than we sometimes can on-line with nothing but words and smilies. Ncorgbl went beyond that and placed himself above everyone and berated too many people. He was playing king of the hill and finally lost. He fell further, faster, and harder not because of what others did, bit because of the dizzying heights he put himself on.- A toilet not for the faintest of hearts
Occasionaly while backpacking, especially above tree line there will be outdoor pit toilets. There is something very cool about sitting on the throne and watching everything around you. Birds, the sky, maybe a mountain peak. But the middle of a city steet doesn't quite seem the same. FlaSoxxJim, what kind of facilities do you have at the outpost? Digging catholes?- SuperNuke! Happy Birthday!

Now you are going off in another direction. You claimed in this exact case that the terrorists on those planes were trained by Saudi Arabia in a state sponsored manner. That just doesn't make sense to me. Allies in this world are here today, gone tomorrow, and back again as it suits them and us.- A failure of imagination
So they used official government training for hand to hand combat but used US flight schools? Come on, which was going to get them caught easier? Taking a martial arts class in the US or a flight school? Why would they train in hand to hand combat in a state sponsored training program and then not train them to fly a plane? It doesn't pass the common sense test. The Saudis have an Air Force and if it was state sponsored could have trained the pilots. - A failure of imagination
