So there is no actual proof that the Judge who ruled against Arizona, put out a press release? My lord, we have so little respect for those who make public service a part of their lives.

She very well may have but is there any proof the judge put out a press release about the threats?

And I didn't say they were idiots, I said that they/you don't understand it. And you don't... except what you want to believe. I don't claim to understand the tax system. I don't think I've even really participated in this thread. But I thought the posts above about some high earners getting great tax benefits was interesting. And I would like to have seen some real arguments against, not dismissal.

Pretty mysterious trailer right here.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 11:42 PM) Whatever, dude. A Canadian telling me how our tax system works? I clearly don't understand it... considering that's what I do for a living. But okay, tell me all about it, mmmkay? You guys want to always come up with the talking points that are fed to you every day. Fact after fact is posted about the system, and then because we don't support raising taxes up the wazoo to buy all these entitlement programs you want force fed up our ass, we're stupid and don't understand who pays what. And then, you want to bend the goalposts and nitpick so that facts are twisted every way but Sunday to make it fit your "debates". Ridiculous. Yea, I'm an assclown. Whatever. Nope, and I guess I'm a hypocrite on this, but I don't like seeing you calling my fellow soxtalkers idiots.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 05:54 PM) Nice try guys. You don't understand the tax system at all except the propaganda you're fed. Who made this clown shoe an admin?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 03:17 PM) I believe you're 100% correct. There must be a temporary gap btw Hudson and Jackson?

Okay this is bugging me. Doesn't someone have to come off the active roster if Harrell is getting called up?

I strongly disagree.

Inception was super cool, but didn't really do it for me. Of course I'll give it a second viewing as well at some point. Still that's a little harsh, it's still a special flick 8/10.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) Well I never... Friggin' Greenspan, always wanting to spread the wealth, haven't you ever heard of spending cuts!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) Lowering taxes RAISED (and always does...) the amount of money coming into treasury. Not according to the CBO http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/69xx/doc6908/12...rcentTaxCut.pdf Tax cuts do have stimulative effects, everyone agrees on that. But the tax cut itself results in an immediate and absolute reduction in government budgets.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 14, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) fair point. I know this tax is something that will never effect me, but I just dont like it. That's my opinion. Sacrifices need to be made, like Kap says. In such an individualistic country an estate tax is a hard sell, but isn't allowing relatives to inherit millions a clear disincentive for future generations to work, and achieve on their own?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 11:29 PM) Anyone seen The Fourth Kind? I thought it was scary as hell,

Where the heck was the pinch runner? A-Rod???? Hellllooooo!!! I'm gonna have to play the devil's advocate on this one. I enjoy the All-Star game, and like that some of the players actually seem to care about the game. Only major sports all-star game that's worth watching IMO.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) Because the executive branch doesn't have that kind of authority. Also, as imperfect as it is, for 220 years, the judicial system is the way that claims of this nature are handled. Whine about Exxon Valdez all you want, but that's a hell of a lot better then a dictate from one man telling blackmailing a company. Then BP shouldn't have paid. Politicians have put political pressure on people and organizations for eternities, and always will. That, and most Americans wanted Obama to be hard on BP. It's a no-brainer.

Saw a matinee of Predators today. Pretty fun movie. There was a lot of cool stuff, but the subject matter doesn't exactly leave room for a very deep movie. A couple of times I found myself yawning during action scenes though.

Let the record show that I think Katy Perry is all that and a bag of chips.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 11:08 PM) Not with Mathis behind the plate, and 1 down and a man at third. Nevermind.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 11:06 PM) rocket by Pierre to score the run. Steal 2nd, and let's have the same situation. Not with Mathis behind the plate, and 1 down and a man at third.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:34 PM) Nice, DP. lol!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) If Derek Jeter was traded to the Sox, would they put his picture on the screen and say "It's black and white"? lol!

The Road, like the book, is tremendous.
