QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 03:29 PM) To me, theres middle ground in this argument. I believe the first person who introduced the chief dance actually studied traditional illini dances, why cant we go back to that? Why did we have to get rid of it completely? If we are trying to honor the Illini tribe then do some research, make it historically accurate. But I also dont believe the majority of chief fans were mocking the Illini tribe or wished to do so. And you hit the nail on the head. No one was trying to be disrespectful. I believe it is context. Many of the dances should be thought of in a religious context, not an entertainment context. So I am not certain if it is possible to take something akin to a ritual or part of a religious tradition, and use it to try and cheer on a sports team. In other words using a sacred dance for entertainment could be considered disrespectful. Close to having the mascot passing out communion. The Boy Scout National Honor Society is called the Order of the Arrow and is based on traditions of a Delaware Tribe. Every effort is made to preserve the traditions and to reenact those traditions in the same context and as respectful as possible. Sometimes that falls short, especially in the hands of the youth members.

Everyone should speak latin

Unless I am mistaken, this may be the longest nothing thread of all-time

How does one prepare for the unknown or unthinkable? That seems like the challenge that is being considered here. Imagine preparing for an atomic bomb during WW1. That seems to be the situation. My fear is they use that scenario to take away more freedoms. But, I hope the ACLU is looking into this.

IIRC there are similar measures for television, radio, shortwave, etc.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) About stopping 'runaway health care' by deciding in advance, for every patient, which tests should be run. Which is impossible and poor medicine.

While I think the team possibly could benefit from a fresh face and approach; he certainly does not deserve the level of blame he receives here.

I honestly never disliked him, even when he was on the Twins. My favorite players are catchers. And gee, what a shocker, a sarcastic, get in your head, catcher, just might be someone I'd like.

Beautiful opportunity there in Minnyhaha

Zoology? Anyone majoring in Zoology?

I forgot he was so disliked. Unlike say, Rodman, where it was easy to see why he was disliked, or even dislike him while he played on your team, I find everything to like about AJ and nothing to dislike. Well, besides, as SS points out, we do not have enough of them running around.

If only they had Adobe Photoshop, they used Microsoft Paint, no wonder it was f***ed up. With computer graphics, do we even know these were ever actual human models? I remember a documentary from twenty years ago that predicted the demise of television and movie actors as studios just used computers for everything. You want the customer to see themselves in the picture and to be sensitive to the culture of the target market. Poor execution.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 27, 2009 -> 10:58 PM) 1979 through 1983 my dad usually took us to 1 game during each homestand, so that's probably 60 games or so. Before and after that we'd mae a handful of games each year, so I think the total is around 75 games. How many times do you curse out loud during the average 2009 Chicago White Sox ballgame? Less than one on average How many times have you quit a vice only to restart?

optimistic, aren't you.
