Congratulations to Chaos for 50 posts and 360 replies

When hockey allows and even encourages fighting, it is admitting defeat as a sport. It must believe that hockey is not exciting enough to attract fans without 5 minute intermissions for a fight. I don't like hockey games that turn into Tyson on Ice

I assume he would have to run as a Democrat or else it would be chaos in the event Kerry died or was removed from office. McCain would also have to caucus with the Dems. I would have been a lot closer to voting for Bush of he had made a switch of VP running mates. He may be making the same mistake Bush the first made. I was just signing a song

How many here read Psalms regularly? I just started a couple years ago, and with the correct translation, they are very good. This is one area that I believe a less literal translation is prefered.

Wait, do you mean Steff isn't a 56 year old Dennis Franz look alike from China Town? damn PA's fantasy is shot

I am looking for a resource do discuss the stages of acceptance of change in an non scietific context. I am tasked with a presentation on slave narratives and have decided to discuss the stages that a slave might have gone through. Some accepted slavery and didn't try an escape. Some were unhappy and decided to do something (but what? A stage of discovery and planning), and finally action. Is there as pop-psych book out there that discusses this behavior. It is for a Autobiographical Literature class so it need not be a scholarly or scientific work. However, scientific would be prefered.

Interesting you felt controlled choas is a guy, for some reason I thought a woman. The more I read the threads, you are probably correct. Not that it makes a difference.

No the GOP gets major kudos for coming up with the discredit the media stategy. They repeat liberal media bias often enough and the "ditto heads" start to repeat it and get a pat on the head from the talking heads, and soon they start to believe it. Nice way for politicos to control what people believe. This was one of the final factors in my split from the GOP after 12 years of almost faithful service. I believe (opinion ahead) that partisan politics is the biggest problem with out system. If you want to get funded, survive your primary, etc. you have to toe the party line. If you want to get a decent committee assignment, you have to follow the party line. In my case as soon as the GOP wanted me to vote to drill for oil in the ANWR, I would be at odds. As soon as the Dems wanted to cut off access to the ANWR to walking only, I would be at odds. When the GOP wants to execute another citizen I would vote against it, when the Dems want to expand abortion rights, I would be at odds with them. Instead of following their individual beliefs, our leaders sell their soul to their party and try and do as much good as they can, knowing it is a flawed system.

And that is where more Americans listen and get their news. It's all MEDIA.

Wow, an all fight hockey game. Perfect.

Did you notice there are no really twisted, demented, sick, female serial murderers?

Watergate, Monica Lewinsky, to name a couple. As soon as the media says something negative about the GOP, it is labeled as inaccurate because it is part of the vast "liberal media bias". I am amazed when I hear Rush, mention how the media is so biased when he, Hannity, O'Reilly, Dr. Laura, etc. are the most popular radio shows. mreye, you have to admit the GOP spends a lot of time trying to point out their perceived bias in the media.

Great line. And remember kids, it's i before e except in Budweiser

I got the Spurs, Texans, and UT-Pan American I am that ESPN even knew UTPA existed.

I'm just trying to catch up with southsider in total posts and I need the excercise This is one of the areas where I am embarrased to be anti abortion. Both sides use the worst bit of disinformation and have long ago left honest debate in favor of inflammitory images and lies. Doctor Murdered as Anti-Abortion Violence and Terrorism Continue Speaking of interesting articles.

isn't he pushing Harris for the starting 2nd base job

Easier and cheaper to move the plant to China where people are dying for these jobs.

Thank God the GOP will support a fine mother like this who didn't believe in abortion Good thing the GOP never wants to cut funding for "welfare mothers"

Well what our conservative friends will tell us is we do not need more government rules and laws. People just will not work for these companies that have unsafe working conditions and they will either fix things or go out of business. We cannot have the government getting in the way of free enterprise, unless it is the media.

You speak of bias. Here is what his web site says about himself. Gee a conservative movement media critic attacks the families of the victims who spoke out against Bush. I'm shocked

Yes, it is opinion. I disliked the ad. I believe he was wrong for running it. It is a fact that I thought it was wrong. It sounds like it is a fact that you liked them or thought they were ok. The NRA likes to point out that the frst thing a dictator does is take away everyone's guns. That actually is the second thing they do. The first thing is to take away the media. They head to the tv and radio stations and take them over. This is the same thing the GOP has been trying to do. They are trying to get the American public to dismiss our freedom of press. A free press has served this country well. The second thing is our main protection from unconstitutional laws is the Judicial system. I hope everyone remembers checks and balances from their high school civics classes. And where did this article come from?

Ahmm, there are corn subsidies

Here we go again. Bush could have shown what * he did * after 9-11, not used the images of people dying inside. I guess he thinks we all forgot and we needed a reminder. To use a personal and national tradegy for personal gain is wrong. The only reason he used that footage was to sell himself to the US public. It would like if Bounty used them to sell paper towels. I am so tired of the GOP deflecting any criticism from them by calling it the liberal media. What a nice setup. Only believe what we tell you. Just like the Soviet Union used TASS for. Then the GOP starts labeling judges as activist who rule against them. The GOP would like to take away our Constitutional protection from unconstitutional laws. So in the GOP world; they will be free to enact any laws that are against our constitution and if a newspaper voices outrage, it's just the liberal media. How cozy.

Think of the TV ratings next time these two teams play. it's exactly what hockey needs I think boxers should have to skate every couple rounds to make boxing better. :fyou the fighting. It isn't necesary. Hit the guy hard with a check. Play good tough hockey, and end the goon circus act.

No Country Buffet and no White Castle for the .35 all you can drink coffee for old people. Furr's or Luby's for the 3:00 early bird special. We lost Colon, Flash, Graffy, Alomar, Everette and picked up . . . Zero and a backup 2nd baseman. Ozzie "How's the fishin'" Tex "You should have been here last year"
