Safety rule #1 know what you are shooting. That dad is in for a rough stretch as is the rest of the family. I would be very pissed at my wife if she killed one of my children, I'm not certain I could forgive her.

If he cared about winning he wouldn't let money enter into the decision? WTF? Thankfully players do not think that way. Imagine a league that players begged Steinbrenner to let them play for the Yankees? If players would take less to play for a winner, what chance does some teams have? Imagine if very free agent decided the Cubs were thisclose and decided to go play there for the min.

I do if Frank is gone. They will build their marketing around Maggs. The team needs that one guy who is the face of the team. He must be long term, a top 3 or 4 player, good morals, nice to the fans, etc. Mark would also be a choice but he only plays every 5 days.

OMG, it must be the off season, this thread just cracked the Soxtalk top 40 longest thread. Brazil? Who would have thought?

Hell what good is something unless you can tinker with it. Hell the cover on my computer hasn't been on for 6 months

We send more in humanitarian aid around the world than any other country. I for one think it is sick that we have children going to bed hungary when we are sending humanitarian aid to otehr countries. I also think it is wrong that we will send aid to people in Brazil as long as they stay in Brazil. Sneak in here and we will let you starve. Bad policy IMHO. Brazil to US: Send Money Here is an interesting story. I do not think we will be invading anytime soon. Unless we are spreading the pesticides which are illegal in the US on your crops to help win the war on drugs. Hunger is a problem the world over and no one knows is more than the US farmer who is asked to feed the world on pennies a day. Do you realize how many tons of grain we give away daily around the world? I did not mean to imply you wanted us to help with the coup. I meant to imply that we do it all the time, and with terrible results. Sorry, we thought it would help and it gave our military someone to shoot at. And finally if so many of your people are hungary, why would you discourage tourism? It brings money into the country. Even if 50% goes to hookers and drug dealers, they have to buy food, cars, and clothing. That money helps pay legitimate salaries to the hotel, store, and other workers.

It is a tough call. I forgot which sports celeb received a transplant even though he was sick with something else (Micky Mantle?) and did Crosby get a new liver? I find it outragous that prisoners receive better health benefits than many working Americans. Would I sign a exclusion on my organ donor card that a prisoner could not receive the organ? Possibly. How about no felons, child molesters, murderers? I could go for that.

Hush, I was thinking the same thing. This time we learned from our mistakes. Ref: Could he be that stupid?

She knew how to pull the strings. Twins left on the stairwell by the evil landlord who locked them out. Sleeping in the car in a hospital parking lot. No showers. Leaving the kids at the library.

We f*** with countries all the time. We do not like the leadership, we will send in the CIA to undermine authority, support rebels, you name it. My tax dollars hard at work. Then when the leadership turn on us, we act surprised. We seem to operate on a "if you hate our enemy, you are our friend" basis. It bites us in the ass all the time. Noriega, Bin Laden, and others have all received US backing at one time or another. We also have a change in foreign policy with every new election, further complicating our foreign policy. But when a natural disaster strikes we are always sending money. Flooding in South America? Send them some money. Flooding in Florida? No one sends us money. And with each sucessful overthrow of a country (re: Iraq) we get more and more blood thirsty and powerfull. Eventually we will slip, throughout history all empires have fallen. But until then we can head to another country, f*** all their women for a lot less than what it costs here, sell our garbage to their dumps, limit how many of them can visit and work in our country, sell them Big Macs until their arteries blow, have them sew our $125 Nikes for a $0.25 and complain when the pirate the image. Yes, Rafie, we can be pigs. But when they need help, who does the world turn? The good ole USA. If Brazil was attacked by a foreign invader you know the US would send help. We were attacked and Brazil did not.

We critisize our country all the time. If some over zealous idiot cop detained and or arrested an incoming pilot for flipping him the bird we would be critisizing the cop for being too sensitive. I live on the Mexico-US border and can tell you first hand we are semsitiveto the amount of time it takes people to cross our border. If we were taking 8 hours there would be a congressional review and all sorts of politicos jumping in to try and solve the problem. Wasn't Brazil one of the leading countries for taking in Nazis after WW2?

50% to prostitution and drugs? Nice image of Brazil. I thought you were trying to defend your country? Come to Brazil for the hookers and dealers?! Are your hookers that much better? Is being a whore legal in Brazil? We have a greater latitude of freedoms in this country. People have flipped off the president and do not get arrested. There the fine was $20,000. That was a bit excessive wasn't it? Read some of the posts here were we call the president all sorts of names. No one is knocking on Jason's door asking for our real names. Still if y'all have a no hand gesture law then everyone needs to obey it. Remember in some countries it is obscene to shake with your right hand (you use that to wipe your a**, or face the sole of your shoe at another person.

Not unusual for a kid from a smaller school to be leading the NCAA. We had a kid, Chapman, that led the nation in 3s a couple seasons ago. Usually what happens is the kid is a one dimensional guy, and the bigger schools pass him over. Or his IQ doesn't quite reach room temp and can not make it academically. Always fun to watch.

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. -- Three children were injured Saturday when a cart broke from a carnival ride at the Florida Citrus Festival and threw them to the ground, according to a Local 6 News report. The children, ages 7, 11 and 12, were on a ride called the "Cliff Hanger" at the festival at about 1:30 p.m. when the accident happened. Winter Haven Police said there were 30 people on the ride when it broke. Each cart holds three people, and the one holding the three children came apart while the ride was in motion. The children were still in the cart, and the Winter Haven Fire Department had to extract them. Bobby Fuqua, executive director of the festival, said one child suffered a broken arm while the other two had minor cuts and bruises. The names of the children were not released. Fuqua said the ride had undergone a safety check and seemed in order. State inspectors are now investigating the incident. Police said this is the first ride accident ever at the festival, which started Thursday and runs until Jan. 25. Winter Haven is about 40 miles southwest of Orlando. _________________________________________ Some guy with less teeth than fingers puts together a ride and say heyyyy give me your chiiiild, I'll put him on the riiiide. Just say no to carny rides.

It makes me gratefull that I have time to worry about who are #5 starter will be. What made me sad is one of my thoughts is this is a scam the lady is pulling and I would bever see the loan repaid.

So what should we talk about today? I had an interesting phone call Saturday. A woman I just met on Wednesday, when her son joined my Scout Troop, called me and explained her husband ran out with two month's rent money and she was homeless with her 6 kids and needed $425. None of the shelters would take her in unless she was physically or sexually abused. She was obviously desperate enough to call an almost total stranger. I guess I have a kind face. Sadly in the end there was nothing I could do.

Is this like a silicon implant?

Actually I think a couple of these guys will make the 25.

Isn't this the fifth poll this off season and the second one this week? Did the 5th starter cause us to be sitting home during the playoffs? No. How about this question, which two or three of these guys might find a home in our bull pen?

Nuke, For you that's a mil spec cheese grater / shoe shiner and $199.99 not $19.99. We can't buy the cheap Chinese version. We need a made in the USA, from specific alloys, that will produce a specific shine. And you must provide replacement parts for 20 years. And you must provide detailed traceablity on all materials used. Personnel files on all employees, and anything else we come up with. Spring training? I'd rather post here then watch guys who will never make the roster run around. Those games are pathetic in person, worse on tv, even worse on tape delay. I would rather they replay games from the season to get everyone fired up for the start.

It was a group of print reporters and Les Grobstein (WLS? WLUP?) was the only guy there with a tape recorder. It became an instant hit. Steve Dahl played it about 100 times. I still laugh my ass off. Poor Lee. "I think my baby is a Cubs fan." "why" "I saw him reading the sports pages and he had the newspaper upside down. It was the only way the Cubs would be on top." "Let's lose two today!" Between innings of a doubleheader when everyone around me assumed I was a Cub fan. That can be so cool. If you are sitting around Cub fans and say "the Cubs suck." they get feisty. if you say "we suck" they will comiserate.

except a good flogging Turn the thing on when it's in your mouth. I love mine. When I'm camping, and have to use a manual toothbrush, I feel like my teeth aren't as clean. See how white my teeth are
