QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 07:37 AM) You'd be surprised how untrue that actually is. It takes a very small movement in supply or demand in energies to create wild price fluxuations. The oil crisis of the 70's was brought about by only a 15% reduction in supply, which led to a tripling/quadrupling of prices. If supply had only fallen by say 10%, what is to say that prices would have only doubled? Its not a big leap a faith to think that a very small supply increase from anywhere (not just Alaska) could have moderated price increases greatly. Wouldn't that also depend on the cost of that oil? As I understood it, even industry execs said the cost per barrel would be higher than what was on the market.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:17 PM) Oooh, I like this. I'll have to dissent from you on most of them, however. Belushi - Animal House Chase - Vacation (barely beating out Fletch) Martin - Man With Two Brains (narrowly beating out The Jerk) Murray - The Life Aquatic )(a flawed gem, but he was great as Zissou) Williams - Fisher King (narrowly beating out Good morning Viet Nam, and with an honorable mention to Toys, another flawed gem that I have a soft spot for) Pryor - Stir Crazy I felt Belushi had a better role in Blues Brothers. He really didn't have many scenes in Animal House and they were all basically the same. If this is which was the best movie they were in, I would say AH, if it is which movie they performed the best, I'd say Blues Brothers. Martin, The Jerk came in second for me. Williams had a few choices, perhaps because RV was the freshest in my mind, and I hyperventilated at the dump station scene.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:16 AM) If you can be 18 and get recruited to fight in the army and are trusted with automatic weapons while drinking, then you should be able to have a beer or 25 too. /thread. And I don't give a s*** what anyone else says. fixed. There are a lot of things an 18 year old can do when not drinking, that become a problem when they start drinking. Shooting automatic weapons is a great example. The military doesn't trust you to shoot automatic weapons or drive a tank after a few drinks. It's all about ages and stages. There are sixteen year olds that would do a better job voting then 18 or 21 year olds, but as a society we do not believe that the majority of 16 year olds would be. But I agree, if you are in the military, you should be allowed to drink.

Country would be bankrupt.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 09:32 PM) WRONG WRONG WRONG!!! That Texas heat's gittin' to yer hed boy. Chase - Fletch Martin - Parenthood Murray - Rushmore Williams - The Fisher King Are we talking comedies or ROTFLMAO? Fletch I could agree with. Parenthood is close, but I really loved DRS. But I'm sticking with my choices on the other two.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) I didn't call Balta a brain deal liberal. Are you denying that there are brain dead liberals out there? I know that there are brain dead conservatives out there somewhere. I did not say you did call him one, feeling guilty? LOL Once they are brain dead, they cease to be liberal or conservative. I do know the phrase is used to insult people. We are getting closer and closer to a national ID card. Pictures, fingerprints, DNA samples, all kept on a nice government data base which will never get hacked or used against us. With a rf chip embedded in the card, and requiring everyone to keep on themselves at all times, the government can protect us.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 09:31 PM) I was surprised back to School didn't make the top 50. It just barely missed my top 20. I wish I had really thought about my list. I think I only submitted about 8 or 9 movies, and did not rank them. I would have added Back to School. I think it was Dangerfield's best. That would be an interesting list, comedian and their best work Belushi - Blues Brothers Chase - Vacation Martin - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Murray - What About Bob Williams - RV Pryor - Stir Crazy

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 08:41 PM) Then you and I will forever disagree on this because I in no way see having to identify yourself in order to vote as in any way denying someone the right to vote. You have the right of free speech, but it has been upheald time and again that it is not an unlimited right, there are rules and restrictions. Same with voting. You have to register, and you have to prove who the hell you are, both things that are not very hard to do. if you are too lazy to do that, oh well. So just having a birth certificate, social security card, utility bills, and a matching signature isn't enough to identify anyone. Wow, how did democracy work before cameras? Now you will require that every person registers with the state and has their photo taken. Shall we fingerprint too while we are at it? How about a little tattoo? And brain dead liberal? I guess you forgot the rules that you just agreed to follow.

QUOTE (wallyburger @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 04:51 PM) I believe this makes Roger a pedophile. Hard to believe the NY Daily News would put their butt on the line if this wasn't true. Actually not by the APA definition. It would be molestation. For a diagnosis of pedophilia the person would fantasize about prepubescent children. Generally by the time they are teens, a pedophile would no longer be attracted to them.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 12:50 PM) Where the hell is 1) Easy Money ? Back of the video store with the movies that only get rented when all the others are taken . . . Actually, Back to School had some good laughs as well.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:57 PM) I meant it's not an inconvenience. I agree, for people who already have a photo ID, it is not. For those people who do not, it is. Some of those people should be inconvenienced to the point of not being able to vote, but some will be citizens who will look at this and stop voting. In a country where less then 25% of eligible voters will actually vote in an off year elected, we ought to be very careful how many extra steps we add, no matter how small.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:30 PM) What? No it's not. It's a hey, you registered to vote at this place so I want to make sure you are who you say you are before you vote. Why take the extra step in forcing someone to register before you can vote? That's just as much of a pain and inconvenience but we still have to do it. It's a pain in the ass to go to the DMV, but we still have to do it. Being lazy is not agood excuse. If you can't afford a free ID, I think you have bigger problems than whether you can vote. It's not an extra requirement? OK b****, then why are they passing a new law? Before: No picture ID required After: Picture ID required. Seems like it is an additional step.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 06:25 PM) AJ won't walk. That much I can guarantee. He'll single though. 0-6 today.

Thank you for the walk.

What the hell have I been drinking, this ain't real

Damn, I'm going to miss the exciting come back, goodnight y'all

BA is not a bunter, he's a masher. Have him swing hard.

Aw f***it, I got better things to do then watch Ozzie try and be a focking genius

What the f***????

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 05:02 PM) Oh Quentin! I really would rather see Crede try to hit it to right field instead of bunting. It's going in the air, it always does, it might as well be long

A couple hours ago, I predicted BA as today's hero. I believe the stage is being set. Sit back and enjoy.

doomed
