QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 12:58 PM) Hey man, you want to sit there on the tracks laughing in your SUV while the train approaches, go ahead. Fortunately, since the majority of Americans realize we're headed for disaster, the majority will support ongoing efforts to make your choices more expensive. We, the majority, feel it is OUR freedom to do that to you. And we don't feel badly about it. The post I was originally responding to and I will elaborate. Did I really need to mention that there are an infinite number of lifestyles between altruistic and s*** on society? The s*** on society folks are our murders, rapists, etc. The Mother Theresas of the world occupy the other end. In-between are the rest of us. Some are closer to one end of the spectrum, others are closer to the other. We all choose our path in life and what we value. One of the things I enjoy about this site are guys like SS who is so involved in his local schools, YMCA, etc. NSS and Middle of Somewhere adventures, all the coaches, we even have a Peace Corp alumni posting from time to time. I'd rather be known for what I gave away than what I kept.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 08:15 PM) So now I s*** on society?... that's nice. Did you see any of your posts quoted? I was just making an observation about people in general.Actually I have you on ignore, if someone hadn't of mentioned your rant, I would have missed it.

OK, maybe not totally stupid, but I'd be sitting in a classroom, backpack at my feet, shorts, flip flops, t-shirt, and be asked "You taking this class? No I'm the professor, I just dress this way and sit here to see who the really sharp students are?

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 05:40 PM) Yeah. As long as they aren't organized crime affiliated and use cheap materials i.e. The Big Dig in Boston. Now were talking to purchasing managers who substitute

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 06:28 PM) We had it open for a while because people stated what a wonderful tool it was and how it could help our business. Then we got complaint after complaint of employees goofing off. The people who were clamoring for it for the most part, were spending 90% of their time keeping their friends in the know and not doing their job. So we made a company decision to block it, and only allow it to those who demonstrate restraint and that will use it for business use. Smart way to go.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 06:34 PM) People are too stupid with great tools. It would slow down production to a crawl if people are on facebook playing mafia wars, growing lil green patches, poking people, sending bumper stickers, sharing photos, tagging photos, arranging photobooks, becoming a King with people, playing word games, sending "flair"........... and connecting to customers. Fax machines and the stupid jokes that got faxed everywhere eMail and the jokes that got emailed everywhere + spam IM for no reason Yep, they all should have been stopped, but they eventually became indispensable. If your salesperson is playing mafia wars with your biggest customer, does it strengthen or weaken the relationship? Cheaper than taking him for a round of golf, dinner, Sox game, etc.

Some people make a contribution to society, others s*** on it. It all depends on the mark an individual wants to make.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 04:04 PM) You trust engineers to build giant, 110 story tall buildings but not to figure out how to put a small glass room on them. I do not trust engineers to build giant, 110 story buildings. I trust union construction workers to build 110 story buildings Speaking of engineers and giant buildings, here is one in my neighborhood. Oops. Someone f***ed up.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) Palin's successor, Lt. Gov. Parnell, would like you to know that Sarah Palin is the greatest gift Alaska has ever given the United States. Apparently Sarah Palin is better than the Alaska Pipeline, better than the greatest protected wildernesses on the planet, better than the Cold War security Alaska's presence provided the nation, and better than anything or anyone else to ever come from Alaska. So many things to say, I don't know where to begin. Was he able to deliver that line with a straight face? That comment is so straight.

Wow. RIP

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 03:08 PM) I had a marketing person call up, why is "insert here" flashgame blocked, I was on my facebook page and its not coming up. Can you unblock it. 20 minutes later. Hey, now I can't get to facebook anymore, whatever. Can you check on why I can't click on any links that say tinyurl, my friend sent me a twitter link and I can't get to it. 20 minutes later. Whats going on, I can't get to twitter either anymore. Facebook has become a great tool to connect with customers. Amazing the friendships that form. But some companies are afraid of technology, it can be abused. I know of one that blocked email

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 12:41 PM) But I got a problem with the federal government telling me what marriage is. Well they have been saying it is between a man and a woman for over 200 years.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 10:13 AM) Weren't you a hillary supporter? No. Actually McCain

Well Hillary Palin is the one that the Dems GOP wants to run. They have been salivating for four years to have her at the top of the ticket. I know I was so annoyed whenever people would make the comment about all Dems love Hillary, etc.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Fields go out of here. I think he is burning his bridges from the sounds of it. Those guys don't usually last long in Chicago. I wonder if the Sox are above or below average in tolerating b.s.. It seems like the organization has a pretty low tolerance for that stuff.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) Really, if KW makes any deal right now with how this team is playing its because he's decided to clear some space, maybe even for Allen. There really is no where for anyone to play that gives us a big upgrade. Nice feeling isn't it. Of course, in two weeks it could be the opposite.

dang, gotta get back to work. Just my luck, decent surf is building just as the 4th of July crowd takes over the beach.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 08:38 PM) With the size of their OF that wouldn't be a bad move by them.Keep trying to sell it. BA + Balco = magic two years later he's hitting 60 hrs with a watermelon noggin'.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 08:37 PM) Frankly, trading any talent at all for Rowand would just be silly even if they were eating 1/2 of his remaining deal. maybe they can fix BA

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 08:33 PM) You beat me by that much... Anyway...don't know anyone the Giants have that I would want to make us better this season except Rowand. And that'd be a silly trade. Hmm, Pods, A-Row, and Dye; where have I seen that before
