QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 01:07 PM) You count timescales based on the genealogies (x begat y begat z etc.) and take the 6 days of creation in Genesis literally. There's obviously some estimating going on there so you end up with ranges between 5-12k years from what I've seen. This is the part I'm talking about. We do actually know humans have only been around for a few thousand years but how do we know how long God's "days" are? For all I know, God could blink his eyes and my whole life comes and goes. I don't know. Neither does anyone else.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 12:59 PM) There is no positive or negative reason for them to exist. So, God could have created them for whatever reason he saw fit. I'm actually really open to this idea (assuming God exists, there is really no reason for him to explain his actions to us, and it's not a given that we would understand), but where does the idea that God arbitrarily snapped his fingers and created Earth and humanityin like 4000 B.C. come from? Correct me if I'm wrong, but dates are never given.

I don't actually know why, in order to be a creationist, you have to believe the Earth is only a few thousand years old. Where does it actually say that in the Bible?

This article is quite possibly one of the stupidest f***ing ideas I've ever heard. I lack the vocabulary to adequately express the sheer, unmitigated stupidity in this article, and I'm not sure such words actually exist in the English language.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 10:36 AM) We're getting that way. Unless there's beer involved. Authoritarian or socialist? Because China's economic policies aren't really all that socialist.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 09:30 AM) Of course the plan that they get from Communist China works the best China's pretty authoritarian obviously, but their markets are pretty open.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 01:38 AM) We didn't like foreign entanglements so much then. They had the chance of compromising some of our values. Yeah that's about right actually. We were really idealistic and up on some high horse whereas European countries had been at war all the time and knew the purpose of spying. We didn't really get it together until about 1945.

Holy s***, this Time Cube site is awesome. It's like pages and pages of non-sequiturs.

If Wise suddenly became a .300 hitter I'd be ecstatic. Although I'm superstitious and would probably keep ripping him. It worked last year. Bashing him loudly before his at-bat leading off the game against the A's in Section 101 and he proceeds to homer and make me look like a complete asshole. I've been convinced of my powers since then.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 07:33 PM) At this point of the season in 2003, the Florida Marlins record was 2 games better than the current White Sox record. The goal is to make the playoffs. Anything can happen. The 2005 White Sox had a dominant 11-1 record in the playoffs, however, what if a routine grounder didn't roll through Tony Graffanino's legs, and what if a pretty washed up El Duque didn't somehow avoid giving up runs with the bases loaded and nobody out? The Sox may have been done in round 1. Last year, what if the Sox had their pitching rotation set for the playoffs? Maybe they knock off Tampa who did make it to the World Series. 8 teams make the playoffs, and most of them lose, but giving yourself a chance is a lot better chance than hoping some obscure A ball player will lead you to the promised land in 4 or 5 years. A lot more stars would have to align for the junk you may be able to get back taking the White Sox old and slow players contracts actually being good enough to help you make the playoffs one day, than for some team to sneak in, get hot and win a few series. You can go 11-8 in the playoffs and still be world champions. I'm not talking about throwing away the division or giving up. The 2006 Cardinals were an anomaly, though. That was an otherwise decent team hampered by injuries that got healthy towards the end of the year and had things work out for them. Not a mediocre team that "got hot at the right time." Things like that are flukes and it would be better if people acknowledged that when talking about World Series contention. If you're looking at finishing with wins in the low 80s and barely winning the division, all you have is hope. Which is fine to hold onto as a fan. But at least be real about what it is.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 12:05 AM) Whoever called him that is shameful. No matter how bad one thinks Wise is, getting personal like that is not cool. Despite his hit tonight and catch last week, I personally don't believe he belongs on a ML roster. I'm glad he's made a couple good plays, but his ineptitude in countless other situations has also costed the team. That said, your point about the personal attack is definately a good take. That was one person who actually got suspended for saying that believe it or not, yet he's on a jihad about it and feels the need to bring it up every time the subject comes up. Hence me being facetious with that picture I posted.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 12:00 AM) Way to shut em up again, Dwayne. Does that person who called him a human piece of s*** the other day still feel that way? The worst player on our roster saves a perfect game and beats the Yankees. That is not a human piece of s***. Congrats again, Dwayne.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 12:00 AM) I think Thornton and Obama need to sit down with Floyd over a beer.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 11:54 PM) The last 10 days have cut a solid 10-12 years off my life. But those are years off the end of your life and those years suck anyway.

If you lose to DeWayne Wise you should probably consider seppuku.

kap you actually managed to make sense, why didn't you just do that in the first place? Is it just more fun to make people wade through the rants?

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 08:35 PM) Not funny lost, my Mom has one leg. You already did this today, you have to wait until tomorrow before you can do it again.

If girls with large breasts work at Hooters, then do girls with one leg work at IHOP?

I glued my f***in fingers together.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 05:40 PM) Nix is absolutely the best defender we have on this team. He might even be the best defender in the entire organization. Normally I call people out for hyperbole, but this isn't hyperbole.

Because of my major I've read enough about Pearl Harbor to know we didn't know. We knew something was going to happen, but not specifically what and when, and we actually had the raw information before Dec. 7th but we didn't have the capability to decrypt and analyze it in time. That's because the government was squeamish about electronic spying. Not sure why, no other countries were at the time.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jul 30, 2009 -> 10:54 AM) The 2006 83-79 St. Louis Cardinals say hi. You know, I'm not jumping off the ledge, but I really hate the 2006 Cardinals for this exact reason. That was very clearly an anomaly, yet still, fans everywhere get deluded into thinking their .500 team could be a World Series contender in disguise and conveniently ignore all the stars that would have to align for this to happen.
