QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 2, 2012 -> 01:32 PM) They've all been correct. These announcers are annoying as f***, blatantly cheering for the Seahawks. Not mentioning Cutler as a top player in this game is asinine, he's been brilliant. This The color guy kept insisting that was a TD catch while the Fox network rules specialist and eventually the referee rightfully overturned the call...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 27, 2012 -> 05:36 PM) 47:18 to be exact, so he sat out 42 seconds I sometimes have no idea what Thibs is doing...it's a regular season game in November, for f***'s sake!

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 26, 2012 -> 09:26 PM) Wow, they blew a game they were up by 27. I think it's on Thibs for not resting the starters when they were up 27. I mean Noah still played 39 minutes and Deng 48. Butler only played 12. Inexcusable. And that last play that was drawn up was crap. That can't be right, he played every minute??

SOXOBAMA is full of crap, no Bear fan here was talking smack about the Bears/49ers game, if anything, we've been very respectful of the 9ers. Someone else mentioned that SOXOBAMA had been overhyping the Bears, not us Bears fans and now he wants a troll war...enjoy your win and hope you don't get the Giants in the playoffs, lol.

I thought the 49ers O line was supposed to be terrible, they look like the 90s Cowboys out these, their QB has a ton of time to throw. Damn, the 49ers just clowning the Bears at this point...f*** this.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 11:01 AM) I've been an American Pit Bull Terrier owner for years. As MexSoxFan said, most people don't even know what a Pit Bull really is. They aren't a large breed. They usually range between 20-60 lbs. Most people confuse the dogs with American Bullies and they all get lumped under the "pit bull" umbrella. People need to understand there is a difference between dog aggression and human aggression. American Pit Bull Terriers are pre-disposed to dog aggression. That doesn't mean every ABPT wants to kill other dogs, but they were specifically bred for 200 years for dog on dog combat. As a responsible pit bull owner, I understand this trait and don't set my dogs up to fail by allowing them to "play" with other dogs. Pit bulls don't need to doggie friends. They crave human interaction. Collies want to herd. Labs want to swim. Dobies want to guard. Pit bulls want to fight. The number one problem for pit bull advocates is the "fur mommies" who believe "it's all how you raise them." This sets the dog up for failure. Somebody gets a pit bull. It's the sweetest dog ever, because it loves humans. They allow it to play with their other dog. They leave the house and come home to a mess. Or, they take it to the dog park and they have a mess. Again, not every pit bull is dog aggressive. However, one should treat their dog as if it is, because 200 years of selective breeding is a powerful thing. Human aggression is not/has never/will never be a desirable trait in American Pit Bull Terriers. In the past, dogs that displayed this trait were culled. It only makes sense. When dog fighting was legal, 2 "handlers" stood in the pit with the dog. Nobody in their right mind is going to stand in a ring with 2 dogs that want to kill them. Human aggression is rare in APBT's. The problem is that other breeds are lumped under the umbrella. Dogo's and Presa's were bred for protection. They are naturally disposed to some level of human aggression. It's a desirable trait. People don't know the difference and assume they're "pit bulls." Another major issue is the American Bully. American Bullies have fallen victim to poor breeding practices. People breed unsound dogs because they make them money. The dog looks good, is bat s*** crazy and is a cash cow. So, you have all these mutts running around, confused with pit bulls that have major issues. These dogs are the "blue dogs." Blue is an extremely rare color in American Pit Bull Terriers. I've been around these dogs for years and have seen only a few. Blue is the most desirable color in American Bullies. Why would I want a dog that I know is hard to manage, that I have to be aware of the likelihood that it may display dog aggression? They're absolutely terrific with people. They're loving, loyal, healthy and versatile. They excel in all sports. They're extremely smart. They love children. Also, MB's dog is an American Straffordshire Terrier. This is the "show" version of the American Pitbull Terrier. They're different dogs with different temperments. AST's are also tremendous dogs that are great with people. I wish there weren't so many people that owned American Pit Bull Terriers. I wish more people understood the dog's history and temperment. I wish the "it's how you raise them" myth wasn't so popular. BSL is a joke. I might be in favor of licensing though. I'd hate it, but if it produced better and fewer owners of the wonderful breed, I'd be in favor. Pit Bull chat. com is a good resource is anybody would like to learn more about the breed. I used to post on Pit Bull Chat, but I used to get into a lot of arguments with the pro-fighting dog crowd. I understand the history of the pit bull and the original dogmen that created this breed and the need to see if your dog has game but at the same time, I'm against the brutality these dogs inflicted others in the pit. I'm dead set against dog matching. I used to argue with another poster who would argue that you need to let dogs do what they were bred to do and I would counter with "well, Mastiffs were created by the Roman Empire army to maul humans, should we let them go ahead and maul humans?" lol. Anyways, great to see a fellow APBT owner who knows the breed

I have two American Pit Bull Terriers, the only dog that is a "true pit bull". I know their history and if people would just educate themselves, they'd realize that these anti-pit bull ordinances are a bunch of crap. First of all, these ordinances include other types of dogs that are in no way related to APBTs like Presa Canarios, American Bullies, Argentine Dogos, English Terriers, American Bulldogs etc. I mean, even Boxers are included in some anti pit bull lists. So, basically, if you have a short haired breed of dog that "looks" menacing, you can have your dog confiscated by authorities even if that dog never harmed anyone. That's crap. Second, most people and authorities wouldn't know a pit bull from a list of similar looking dogs, so there have been many many cases of a dog attacking someone and the headlines will scream "pit bull attaxk!" when in fact the dog was anything but. Pit Bulls are today's boogeydog, if you will, and the press loves selling newspapers and the evening local news love the ratings. Third, and I quote... another quote... As you can see, Pit Bulls have a bad reputation due in large part to ignorance and hysteria, have pit bulls attacked people before? Yes, but so have other breeds as well and like I said before, way too many attacks are credited to pit bulls when it wasn't a pit bull. Pit Bulls can have a dog aggression issue but never human aggression, those dogs should get culled, they don't conform to the APBT standard and are useless. American Pit Bull terriers were once so common among average American families, (now they are known as the thug's dog of choice), the dog in the Little Rascals was a pit bull, the dog in the RCA logo looking down a phonograph is a pit bull, and Sgt. Stubby, America's most decorated World War I dog was a Pit Bull. American Pit Bull Terrier American Bully...it's not a pit bull but people who don't know better swear it is. Please, educate yourselves about Pit Bulls, they are far from the vicious dog's potrayed by the media and swallowed hook line and sinker from an ignorant mass.

Wow, that was quick.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 04:55 PM) Yes, but we don't know how Hillary is going to act as the candidate. If she is Miss Prissy b**** as she's appeared to be in the past, I say she loses. In fact she could lose in a landslide. Remember, there are still intangibles in elections. Many voters still go by how a person looks on TV. If Hillary looks like an old hag and speaks words of b****iness and Rubio is up there all handsome and all that, he'll win in a landslide. I don't think you can give it to Hillary just because of Bill. Remember, women voted big time for Obama; men chose Romney. Women may not vote for Hillary just because she will be the first female president. And we know a lot of men will not vote for her just because she is a woman. The intangibles still leave a lot of unknowns ... mainly the Hillary/b**** factor on a long campaign trail. We'll see if Obama's coalition can hold, lot's of pundits didn't think he could replicate 2008. Obama's numbers went down because he lost working class white men and more Republicans turned out this time but if his coalition is a solid Democratic one, the GOP is in real trouble. They need to be more inclusive, old white guys won't win you elections anymore. If the economy is humming along in 2016, no one is beating Hilary.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 11:42 AM) The fact that the Republican part is shocked that people voted for more people's rights regarding social issues like abortion and marriage equality instead of for their economic plan shows how out of touch they really are. Young people came out in mass to vote for Obama primarily for those reasons. Unless the GOP softens up their stance in no-win issues like those they are going to be behind the 8-ball. This If they keep on the path they've been on, TX will be in play for the Dems much sooner than CA or NY for them. Demographics in TX are trending blue.

I don't have Fox News (thank God), but I would've loved to have watched them last night for the lulz.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:26 AM) Romney, Akin, Mourdock, Walsh, and West... All lost. It was such an incredible night. I had about 40 people at my house to watch this amazing election Congrats to President Obama, Sen-elect Elizabeth Warren, Tammy Baldwin and Tim Kaine to name a few Thank you to President Clinton for working your ass off for the Obama campaign The same coalition that got O in the White House will put Hillary there in 2016 Hillary 2016

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 08:43 AM) Marriage equality won on the ballot in three states. Progressive champion Warren is in the Senate. Tammy Baldwin, the first openly gay Senator, was elected. Obama won with a strong electoral vote margin. This was a pretty solid night for liberals.

Proud to be part of the voting bloc that got Prez Obama re-elected. Hey GOP, if you want the White House in the future, stop using us as the boogey man to rile up your racists

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) Well, I truly was an undecided voter heading into the poll just now. I voted for Obama. I'm sick of having to base my decision on who I think is the best of 2 bad candidates. I can't remember the last time I was fired up about a presidential candidate. But of all the Soxtalker's I think I was the only undecided voter heading into today and I did vote for Obama though I do think he's been a poor leader. Or a very blah leader at best. I think Romney is a scary guy who gives me a weird vibe. He just does. I won't offend the world and say I voted for Obama cause he is a Sox fan and Bears fan, but that is one positive in his corner at least. Knowing me as you all do, are u surprised I voted for the Big O today? I'm surprised you didn't write in Ozzie Guillen.

Simple question, why can't all voting machines give you a receipt with the voting choices you made? You can verify it, put it in a ballot box and if there's any disputed result, you can go back and hand count them. Seems so simple as a solution, voting machines that leave no paper trails are an easy target to tamper with...and that would stop all the conspiracy theories about one side trying to steal the election.
