QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 17, 2010 -> 09:34 AM) Because we did something stupid in the past doesn't mean it's a-okay to continue doing it now or in the future. Supreme Court Justices should be *required* to have massive real world on the job experience in addition to classroom experience and/or teaching experience to even be considered for such a position. These positions are for-life terms, so it's not like a "trial run" to see if they can do the job, and if they can't, we replace them. On top of that, let's add in that they're appointed by government, NOT the people, and they can't be replaced by the people if they prove to be totally incompetent. I apply this to any important position in life, on the job or otherwise. I wouldn't want a medical professor with years of lecture experience performing a major surgery on me without prior surgical experience, just as I wouldn't hire a college professor with years of teaching experience to secure a banks network with no prior non-book field experience, either. Judges with experience develop a logic pattern in making their decisions. The cases that get to the Supreme Court do not fit the routine stuff. If you look at the list of Justices that had no prior experience there are some outstanding justices. A partial list of the 40 out of 111 without any prior experience as a judge: John Marshall, William Rehnquist, Earl Warren, Louis Brandeis . . . Are you really suggesting they were mistakes? If that is the case, a third of the justices that have ever served are mistakes.

I was busy moving and checking updates on my phone. It seemed like I checked ten times when it was 1-1. When it popped up WINNER! I gave a little yell and the "will work for food" guys looked at me like I was crazier.

Doesn't that begin what could be the greatest commercial art sale ever? I believe he kept all the original Conan paintings. When I was looking at paintings that have sold for $1,000,000 and up, I was surprised to see his name. No telling how much his heirs stand to make.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 15, 2010 -> 11:32 PM) LOL. Limewire is SO 2004. When you need to send a single file in a hurry, it is pretty darn useful.

Yep. My gf was on the phone holding for 24 minutes and was cut off. Then when I went to call at 4:55 they were closed until Monday. Good thing my neighbor has an open network. Nice welcomeing gift lol QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 15, 2010 -> 06:26 PM) They want YOU to gain access to your neighbor's yard? Last time I checked, there should have been utility domain, and that's their job.

Damn it, you made me cry. QUOTE (Jake @ May 16, 2010 -> 08:58 AM) http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-0514-p...680,full.column

It is a shame really that for at least a generation or two, that will be his legacy. QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ May 16, 2010 -> 10:38 AM) Didn't he already smear his legacy on a blue dress somewhere?

I have only seen a few games but it seems like there are two Hawk teams. The one that could finish 8-0 and the one that could finish 1-4. I wish I knew which one was showing up this afternoon. Better yet, I wish I had a TV that worked. They f***ed up my install.

Seriously, can anyone or anything smear his legacy worse than he already did? QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2010 -> 09:18 AM) He can't blame Steagall-Glass or he smears his own legacy.

Isn't the market wage created by the people who are willing to take the job? QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2010 -> 10:23 PM) And if we don't care about people willing to take less money than the market wage, why do we have a minimum wage?

AT&T f*** them already. They want me to gain access to my neighbor's yard for them to go hook up! Seriously wtf?? Direct couldn't find my house even though my next door neighbor has Direct. 0-3 in utilities, the stench of Sox is starting to take over the new house.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 11, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) Then they totally belong in the second tier of people who should be here. Silly me, I would like to be around people who want to be here. I thought that was crazy until I saw people who wanted to see the Sox lose in May. Maybe the US gets a higher draft pick next year or something? As we were reciting the Texas pledge this morning I realized I may agree with you more than I thought. I have the same opinion of folks that move to Texas and refuse to say the Texas Pledge Honor the Texas Flag I Pledge Allegiance to Thee Texas, One Nation Under God One and Indivisible Worse are non Texans that do not stand with their hand over their heart during the Texas anthem. For shame.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 14, 2010 -> 03:03 PM) toh-may-toh toh-mah-toh either way, still a most righteous win. Nice to see the US could kick the same ass that Texas kicked.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) Well if the history of Chicano's in America is being taught, there are some electives left. I just remember so much more flexibility in scheduling when I was in High School. Now they have all these programs from scholars to whatever and you get like 3 or 4 electives in four years. And the craziest of all are the "required electives".

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) They don't speak English, therefore, they must be clueless. But if you speak Spanish slowly and loudly. people will understand.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 14, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) check this out a painting of the US occupying Mexico City. wish i could have been there. bask in a most noble victory over the clueless Spaniards. The Spainiards were kicked out in 1821, this was Mexico.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) I missed wimpy up until Stone got into the booth. Now, I don't care. ^^ x2 ^^

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ May 14, 2010 -> 12:27 PM) can he hit? f*** that, what we really need is someone that can teach hitting . . .

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 14, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) I know it wouldn't be permitted under this law, I am just curious how far the freedom of education goes in people's minds. What freedom of education? With all the standardized tests, fewer and fewer choices of textbooks, everyone winds up teaching about the same stuff.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 14, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) So because there are no references to Mexicans regarding the Revolutionary War, you think it is ok to teach them that American 'stole' part of their country and such? To be divisive? All this does is fuel the racial animosity even more by trying to give them victim status. After the Tejanos defeated Mexico and gained their independence there was a dispute over where the boundary was between the Republic of Texas and Mexico. The US claimed the Rio Grande River, Mexico claimed the Nueces River. Since Mexico did not recognize the Republic as legal and valid, they never really pursued the issue. Later, when the US annexed the Republic of Texas, tensions started. With manifest destiny on every one's lips, the US basically taunted and provoked Mexico into a war. After winning the war, the US took over about half of Mexico's land. Whether you want to use the word stole or not, we were a conquering army. The public believed that God wanted the US to stretch from sea to shining sea. About 1/4th of the lower 48 is land that formerly was Mexico. Our motivation for the war was to take land from Mexico.

The immigrant story we tell is always through New York, very little history or literature is about San Francisco and the Asians that immigrated. Still less are the people that were here when the boundaries started changing or who walked here. It is totally ignored from *our* history.

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 13, 2010 -> 05:01 PM) Holy s*** this seems so obvious that I'm ashamed that I didn't think of it. It's a variation on the sign and trade I call the buy and trade. I've also used it when something goes on sale at another store soon after I buy a big ticket item.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ May 13, 2010 -> 05:06 PM) It's all about the protecting children! What kind of job are they gonna get with an ethnic studies degree anyway? They just stopping them before they become a greater burden on their parents and society in general. It's all about protecting the children! (That's what the liberals scream for every thing they do, right?) (also, this post should be in half-green text) yep, all they need to know is "if it ain't white, it just ain't right"

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 11, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) I'll get into more details later. Cool. It seems the decision comes down to smaller but fragmented or huge and cumbersome. But it seems obvious to me that the regulations have not kept up with technology. Plus, with so much money at stake, staying ahead of the regulations is doable and really possible.
