QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Aug 19, 2008 -> 07:02 AM) Seriously, grow up. Tracking me across other threads to try and goat me is a little juvenile. Being an admin and my elder, maybe use try the whole, if you have nothing nice to say rule should be used sometimes. Its pathetic and you seem desperate to annoy me and like a loser. Its a message board man, maybe you need to let some things slide. You dont see me chasing around people in other threads because I dont like them and taking jabs at them with blatant sarcasm so why are you doing it to me? If you have a problem with what Im saying or want to try and use (what you no doubtidly are and say youre two posts in here werent meant to be insults then please address be by PM. Theres no reason to go back and forth like this in threads. Something tells me Ill get the standard sarcastic quip with the LOL smiley but seriously, youre an admin, if you need to say anything to me just do it by PM. Lighten up Francis, my first post in this thread was Aug 14, 12:08, your first post Aug 16. So if anyone is following anyone around, I think you have it backwards. Plus you seem to know my every position, which is just plain creepy. But I will toss in a couple gratuitous snarky, sarcastic comment. Please don't kick my ass. I know that no one has ever gotten the better of you, so you must be the toughest guy in the sandbox. You think it is an insult to avoid an unnecessary fight? No wonder you're a Dubya fan

what an idiot, that's the kind of change he's talking about

Wait, I thought Cleveland or Detroit won the division last April?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 05:31 PM) You may be the only person I've heard say this. What's your theory as to why? The only possible way that happens is a lot of people are lying to pollsters. That when faced with pulling the lever in the privacy of a voting booth, they will vote McCain. He isn't the hip, fashionable choice.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 06:20 PM) That's not why we invaded Iraq btw I thought that was the last reason we gave. Especially after the whole WMD thing didn't pan out. So what is the "real reason"? Oil? Balta, why only the big stuff? Evil is a word, a concept, and can be defined as people choose. I have no qualms if you want to call something evil that I may not. Some believe killing anyone is evil, others find exceptions. PETA has some members who would argue that killing cockroaches is evil. Words get their meaning from people accepting some definitions. We have a concept of good and evil. Where we draw the line becomes a personal choice. I just choose to draw the line at the point where I wonder if the person is even human. It would seem we cross from good to evil a lot sooner with your definition. I'm not even certain there is a specific body count. The atomic bombs we dropped saved many more lives, on both sides, by ending the war sooner. Sherman's march ended the civil war quicker. Lots of bodies, but probably saved many times more. Also, I object because evil was used specifically to draw a specific emotional reaction. It is a damn shame when a candidate has to insult the very citizens of the country he allegedly wishes to lead.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 06:54 PM) lol at this. Saying one person has never gotten the best of me doesnt mean I back down, it means I can hold my own in a fight. Ive been in way more fights then Im proud to admit. I was in a fraternity at SIU, what do you think drunk frat guys do, just play beer pong? My bad. You have a better record then Foreman, Ali, Tyson, and every other fighter. Undefeated. Amazing to always be at your best.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 05:35 PM) We haven't done anything recently that I'd call "evil". But, I think an unjust and awfully executed war in Iraq is close. Go back in history, and see what we did to the American Indians. I'd call that evil. Slavery as well. But those are of course way, way back. Which is why I called it desperate to say we are evil. That stuff is a long time ago. Plus Iraq was to stop the evil torture that their government was doing. Sometimes you have to meet evil with really nasty.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 05:40 PM) Maybe he was referring to his old state, with something like less than 1% black population.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 05:39 PM) And which President has appointed more African americans to positions of power, the one from the 'white' party or the all-inclusive one? Hell, the DNC even hates gays (or at least Dean seems to). Exactly. Dozens and dozens of them. And I'll bet if you look at all of his appointments it would number in the hundreds.

The GOP is as much a rainbow as the Dems. The GOP just doesn't promote it that way. And with the pressure on minorities to vote Dem, I imagine there are a lot of GOP voting minorities. It is just the GOP doesn't trot them out for a photo op and make examples of them.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 18, 2008 -> 01:50 PM) Well, when that is one of the top 3 things you think of when asked what is evil, it does seem pretty warped. Evil to me would be genocide, like in Rwanda or Hitler Human experiments Torture like Saddam stuff like that. I'm not certain what kind of definition he would be doing to judge something the US has done as evil. Perhaps giving billions in aid around the world? Sending our troops, at our expense, around the globe? Calling the US evil is just asinine.

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.
