Decades old war monument in peril
QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Eh let it stay. Scalia is an idiot, but it wouldnt be the first time he was completely ridiculous. I would say that a cross would be one of the most insulting symbols to put up to honor a Jewish person. Really? I would think any Muslim symbol would trump it. After all Jews and Christians share the Old Testament. I would believe, if you are going to make a mistake, a cross would be the least offensive of the world's religions. And it is even an easier choice in reverse. A Star of David would be perfectly fine for any Christian, it reflects our common history.

Chicago Hippie History
QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 03:59 PM) Definitely Old Town. It was full of shops and neat little arts and craft type places. And you had the Earl of Old Town, Somebody Else's Troubles, the Quiet Knight, the Old Town School of Folk Music. It was a pretty cool area. Thank you, I was half listening to a show and they referenced Haight and it started me to thinking . . . The names started to become familiar from stories, especially Piper's Alley.

Of course you make perfect sense. I was thinking more in the abstract. How about this example Is this a symbol of God's covenant and should be taken down or is a Gay Pride symbol and left up? Who should decide? There are an awful lot of non believers that have crosses on their tombstones.

Gun Toting Soccer Mom shot by husband
QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 04:06 PM) You need way more deatils than were available at either of those links. Did husband shoot her with her own gun or his own gun? If it was his own, it would seem that in this case, having one didnt help. Althogh not having one wouldnt have helped either, so it would be a lose/lose situation all around. I don't see how her having the gun increased the probability at all, if the hubby had his own and was intent on killing her anyway. Did another story come out saying she was shot with her own gun? Your post seems to imply that. I've seen many stats that suggest having a gun in your home leads to increased gun incidents compared to not having a gun in your home. Which is about as obvious as having a car increases the likelihood of having a car accident.

Gun Toting Soccer Mom shot by husband
I totally lied above. I'm thinking a girl was involved, and that would be a justified reason.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Oct 8, 2009 -> 03:35 PM) No mocking needed because that was a really good album. However, I owned this CD early on in high school: I should be waterboarded. I have no excuses. You are correct, that is an awesome album. I also bought the CD right away and downloaded all the tunes that were available. I absolutely wore it out.

Interesting point. And while a bit sideways, there is a tiny bit of logic there. I'm having trouble explaining the point I am trying to make here, so bear with me. If I believe that someting is a honor and wish to bestow it on you, am I not honoring you? Even if you might not see it as an honor? It seems outrageous at first using this example, and I'm trying to think of another. Perhaps the tradition at Hawk games of cheering through the national anthem. Some people feel it is a terrible insult to every patriotic American, no matter the story behind it. But those that are cheering, and especially those that cheered at the inception during the Soviet Union game, it is an honor. And to those cheering, it also honors the very vets who may believe it is an insult. Clear as mud?? Who decides what is an honor and who it honors, the one doing the honoring or the one being honored? Both and they could be opposed?

Bottom line, IMNSHO, the adults involved should not have negotiated the trade without her parents present.
