QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 01:09 PM) Another Obama quote at Saddleback (can't get the video to link or embed) "You know a lot of evil has been perpetrated based on the claim that we were trying to confront evil." So according to the Messiah, we are eeeeevilllllll! obviously desperate. It is a very warped scale to think of anything the US has ever done as evil.

I guess he hasn't been looking at the movement of Hispanics towards the GOP. Idiot.

I just looked at the standings, we don't have to Nuke Cleveland Happy Birthday!! you moron A bird needs two wings to fly, thanks for being the right wing or soxtalk would be flying in circles.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 04:44 PM) Never had seen that video with Mel Allen. How rude that Mel calls him Louis. Tex in the bio you also called him Louis. I should have known better. Several of my sources were using Louis, and my spell checker defaulted to that.

QUOTE (jenks45monster @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) I think it's pretty sh***y that whoever deleted it never even bothered to message me seeing as it's unwritten and since it was 'written' before I even joined. Yeah it was s***ty to not tell you why, and something we try not to do. Damn volunteers.

QUOTE (soxbearsbulls @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 12:41 PM) I don't post anywhere, but I read everywhere. I used to read you guys every single day and you were great. This board was incredibly active in 05, 06, 07. But what has happend in 08??? I also read whitesoxinteractive and they are like 10 times as big now. It used to be about even. Their post game threads normally have double digit pages, here sometimes there isent even a post game thread! This used to be the place to be for sox fans like me, i'm just dissapointed to see how far its fallen. Usually when someone with 4 posts posts something like this they are just trying to champion their favorite site. A troll in sheep's clothing.

Now the final step to have everyone check out this thread, closing it

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 10:27 AM) Ok, you two, there IS actually a seperate post for speeding, you know. On to Republican things. I am suprised no one has staretd a thread about the get together with Rick Warren. Here is a little clip where Obama is asked with of the Supremes he wouldn't have nominated. He picked Clarance Thomas, and starts to explain why. notice where he cathes himself mid-word as he almost says that Thomas wasn't an experienced enough jurist. And go ahead Obamatrons, try and spin that, but you KNOW that is what he was about to say. Maybe he realized that that would be the height of hypocracy for him to criticize anyone for being inexperienced enough for the job. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfblJvKXiP0&c...;hl=en&fs=1 OMG!! You are so right.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 10:13 AM) Speeding is very circumstantial. It can be a victimless crime, but it can also cause an accident. If theres no traffic around and you go 10 over, than yes its a victimless crime, IMO. If you hit someone, then no, it isnt. Running the metra doesnt mean people are working 24 hours a day. They have shifts. The El runs 24 hours a day. Drunk driving kills a lot of people, if they are so concerned about the well being of people, why not run the train a few times after midnight on weekends so people in the suburbs dont drive drunk. IMO, they dont because of the revenue they get from the arrests. Im honestly fed up with a lot of the politics in the whole country at this point and I think a lot of changes need to be made. I dont like when people like Blago/Pelosi or whomever tell me I need to do this, and then they go and do that. I think our elected officials need to be held to the same standards as the people who vote for them. Without justifying ANY crimes and saying theyre ok, which Im not doing, I just dont like the idea of cameras governing things. There are a lot bigger problems that should be given attention than speeding. Basically, Im looking for a Utopian system of government, where people in a position of power and authority are responsible for their actions, and where if they commit crimes, they are held to the same standards the citizens are. I think cops should all have those dashboard cameras and be miked up at all times while they are on duty. Id like to know where every penny of a governors budget is allocated. Id like the opportunity to ask "Whats going on?" when theres something I dont understand or agree with and get an answer. I know it will never happen, I just think things like cameras enforcing crimes is going to make everything worse than better. What I was wondering is having humans 24/7 enforcing speeds versus a $45,000 van. It sounds like you are saying the van is going to far.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 07:40 AM) nice double entendre. there are other ways to get people to look at your threads without insinuating other things Tex But none work as well.

It should only exist, if at all, for a two game series and it should be to allow a Sox - Cubs, Mets - Yankees, Angels - Dogers, etc.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 01:03 AM) Boy you are right. I remember being very disappointed at the end of that season, but it was so much fun. It goes down as one of the best summers of my life. Veeck was a master at making the ball park fun, win or lose.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 10:34 PM) College Writing II College Mathematics Basic Macroeconomics Aviation Legistlation Aviation Safety Where are you at with those aviation choices?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 10:24 PM) Not after everything was cleared up. Im glad lostfan mediated a little because we werent seeing eye to eye on my stance. Now that we are we can go back to disagreeing on it. The whole camera thing to me is going too far. Im not trying to justify violating crimes but I just think that if they are victimless crimes than its a waste of time to go this far trying to enforce them. If they were that concerned about the well being of people than they would do things like have the metra run between the suburbs and the city 24 hours on weekends to prevent dui crashes. This is just a way for Blago to raise money for whatever bs hes into now. Before we get too far off subject, are you saying that speeding is a victimless crime? That humans working around the clock isn't too far, but a $45,000 machine is too far?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Man times have certainly changed. That team would have been buried on the board. All the favorites who bashed the ball until mid August would have been bums in September. You are right. And with Mariotti writing choke columns, wow 77 woulda been a disaster. And think about how ungratful they were to then leave via free agency. Greedy bums. It does highlight one thing, and I do think this is a good thing. We set our sights much higher today as Sox fans. Back in '77 a Chicago baseball playoff berth was huge. Now it seems very obtainable and more aggravating if we miss out. This team for example, os not a "hey, we had a lot of fun this summer, to bad we just missed" team. It's a dammit, you better make the playoffs. Anything less should be worthy of fan scorn. In '77 we'd be giggly with excitement at today's record and standing.

BTW DB Wouldn't it be hilarious if over Christmas I get caught by one of thsoe cameras and be 1,500 miles away in Texas when I get the ticket That would prove karma is a b**** I truly hope you weren't really upset over this. Nothing like an occassional dust up to keep the typing fingers flying.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 07:11 PM) Yeah. I did the math prior to posting that. Where the mix gets interesting is you have two parents = 2 parts They each have two parents = 4 parts They each have two parents = 8 parts So if you go back one generation you have 2 parts Go back two and you have 6 parts Go back three and you have 14 parts Two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents How did you arrive at 1/12?

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 07:10 PM) There also could be circumstances where they didnt even know they got a ticket. If they are ticketing for going 10 over, a lot of people will try to go right around there and could accidentally go 11 over or just might not pay attention for a second and get ticketed. I think anytime a ticket is issued there should be a human writing it just because of all the different circumstances that could arise. What it someones pregnant or something like that. Ten over is still speeding, it isn't a new speed limit. By having a ten mile per hour margin of error, it would reduce the number of wrong tickets. One solution to help ease the inconvienence of wrong tickets is to provide that margin of error. The state is giving you 10. If the driver decides to take all ten, then sorry, they deserve a ticket for eleven over. If they drive the limit, they do not have to worry about even a five or six mile an hour increase.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 07:07 PM) 1 I agree with you 100% on. Like I tried to say, I dont go around speeding so Im not concerned about the repercussions. I never said I disagree with speeding laws. 2 This is a big problem for me because of the potential flaws. I tie this to point number 3 because I dont think any other governor, anywhere for that matter, would ever propose this. As Lostfan reiterated, I think its being proposed to give Blago more money to play with instead of for public safety and Ive had enough of Blago where this really upsets me. The question about if the proposal came from someone other than Blago would I not have a problem with it is interesting. I think i can some it up by saying, I would never like the system and he is just the icing on the cake. #2. There are potential problems with all law enforcement. You have a corrupt governor, it would stand to reason you also have corrupt cops. I'd trust a mechanical system before cops in a state with such corruption. The system will catch speeders who will pay fines. Some people will be inconvenienced, much like people have been inconvenienced in court all the time, from something minor like someone getting a parking ticket when someone borrowed their car, to something major like OJ having to go to court and prove he didn't kill Nicole or Ron. Speeding, to me, would fall way down the minor scale. Remember, money only flows in when people speed. Unless you believe thousands of tickets will be fraudulently issued. But by tying it to #3 it would seem to suggest that enforcing the law should only happen if the fines went to a good project. That we shouldn't be worried about enforcing speed laws if the money goes to a corrupt governor's special program. I believe the fines should still be enforced, and collected, and that the corrupt governors special program should be stopped. And I believe plenty of other locals and states will be using camera systems. They will get better with time. It frees up cops to work on important crimes.
