Not dine and ditch, but fill and ditch. I put my debit card into the gas pump and wasn't really paying attention. The pump clicked off at $20. I thought that was weird, reentered my card and finished filling up. Of course the machine would not print a receipt and I had to go inside. So as I enter, I hear this twenty-something b**** tell the clerk, "I don't want to be rude but . . ." and she goes off on the clerk wondering why she had not put the $20 on here pump yet. She kept screaming that's my van right fucxking there you f***ing no brain clerk. Now all three clerks are standing there like idiots with a dear in the headlight look. The main clerk is arguing with the customer, claiming the customer's friend who paid for the gas *and* rolling papers said pump 5 NOT pump 9. The crazy b**** customer was tossing out every racial slur she could think of and I decided to not jump in to solve the problem by paying the $20. I asked for the receipt for pump 5, they looked at me and I said, hey, I didn't see who filled up in front of me. It may have been a van, I can't be certain. Which technically was true. I didn't see who pulled out in front of me.

My point is, give them the tools they need to act - flag all the coalition ships you can as a country that actually has useful on-point laws. That sounds great on the surface, but how do you reconcile what would in effect be ignoring your own country's laws? Presumably, the laws of your country reflect your morals, ethics, etc. Is there a danger in setting those aside? I guess the route that would fit is to have each country rewrite their piracy laws to reflect modern realities or hire the thugs of the world to deal with the problem.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 05:09 PM) That was my point. Would NATO pass a resolution? The key here is actually someone helping that nation. And by helping it may take an invasion. Too bad they don't have anything worth keeping or it would already have been done. Oil is the key to save citizens from evil.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) Note this key phrase in that article: If US law allows for detainment and trial in its maritime law, they can do it. And I think US law does indeed allow for it. Easy solution - have all the NATO multi-national vessels be flagged as US ships (or other countries with similar laws). And if other countries like Belgium have their own ships there, just leave them out of the hunt, and try to encourage them to change their laws or stay the hell out of the way. If they are flagged NATO, won't they have to follow NATO law. Which IIRC, would then call for a NATO resolution authorizing those actions. Hmm, a pirate war . . .

Forgotten in all this is the snipers accomplished their mission without hurting a single pirate parrot. That's some shooting.

QUOTE (Soxy @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 10:35 AM) The horses swim in polo? I've never seen that.

Just saying, but does half the team know what the casa blanca (white house) is?

QUOTE (3E8 @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 10:05 AM) I think so. Those horses are $100K apeice. Someone with a vendetta could do a lot in monetary damage alone They were weak and dizzy, maybe someone was just trying to make them sick so they couldn't swim during the matches.

On the 10th Anniversary of Columbine, it seems very easy to believe someone killed all those horses.

I stopped in my early twenties, mostly because of the work culture and wanting to be taken seriously. So now when I do, my kids laugh.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 11:19 AM) oooo burn. Totally using this. Of course that was followed by Illinois pride, Germany in the 1940s

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 07:43 AM) That type of pride is only rivaled by late 1930's Germany.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 11:48 PM) Try being from Illinois (Or up north in general) and living down here.. They think Texas is the greatest thing ever, I cant stand it Part One, I am, although it's been 15 years now. Part Two. Yep, Texans do. What does that tell you about the other states that cannot seem to muster that same state pride??

First off, when we secede, we ought to use the 1845 map. We already have a pledge that school kids recite each day after the US Pledge of Allegiance "Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible." And anthem “You should never ask somebody if they are a Texan. If he’s from Texas, he’ll tell you. And if he isn’t, you shouldn’t embarrass him.” I know it is difficult for people from lesser states to understand the pride that comes from being a Texan.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 09:42 AM) I am a huge Robin fan myself and I know some people would freak out about this, but despite Robin's 10 good years with the Sox, their might be an argument to be made that JD has put up better numbers and has been more valuable to the Sox during his time. I'd respect either choice. That's a damn fine number in Chicago sports.

Seems like we should take the best thinking, no matter where it comes from.

Frank never hired Boras as an agent. Never went to his own doctors instead of the team's choice. And was dumped anyways.

QUOTE (T R U @ Mar 28, 2009 -> 04:36 AM) Ide pay to f*** that prostitute Yeah, that's how it works.

If you go Psychology you will need a Masters degree at the minimum. Most people will tell you to plan on a PhD. There are a lot of fields in Psychology, Industrial for one, Sports Psy for another, where you are not dealing with "problems" but more enhancements.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 4, 2009 -> 05:18 PM) It's because a lot of people believe that it's coming. Since Mr. Obama clearly understands what this guy's plight is, I'm sure he'll want to swoop in to rescue us all from guns. We, the people, can't be trusted. It certainly is good for business to create a "buy it now before it gets banned" sale at higher prices. Oh wait, gun shops and manufacturers wouldn't do that Obama has done more to spur gun sales and ammunition sales in this country than any other President. Every time a Dem is elected President, the industry pumps up the warning, increasing sales. And the general public takes it full barrel, so to speak.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 1, 2009 -> 08:00 AM) That would be my first choice, but there is no way that the players association would agree to limit compenstation like that. Trading picks is a much more realistic scenario. Agreed.

Where are the kid's parents? They should be advising him to find a nice agent that will get him $3,000,000

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Mar 29, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) In California, the hearing for AB390 has been postponed from Tuesday http://www.canorml.org/news/ammianobill.html What they save in criminal prosecution will then be spent enforcing the tax laws. $1 a joint extra? When it can be home grown and a very usable product cultivated for much less? Unlike liquor, marijuana is far easier to produce a good product. And will younger users be more likely to pull a hey mister, or continue buying from the black market? I'm not saying it is a bad idea, but they are smoking some of the product to think they are going to save that much on law enforcement.

It wound up being to depressing putting the lists together
