Very interesting.

"btw, smirnoff was made for women" I knew someone would come on out and say that.
-
I just think that Parque isn't going to get a better offer then that from anyone else.
-
I think they wouldn't do heroin and all that other crap, but Marijuana would overthrow tobacco if you ask me.

I like that idea of taxing the hell out of those buying the drugs. I know they already tax the hell out of cigarettes, but I think most of that money goes to preventing further smoking. If the gov. wanted to turn a profit they'd just tax the hell out of drugs, like a 200% tax and just use it to improve hte country. Of course with a high/drugged up society, things wouldn't get done much. I could see the stories now, Munchies close down Jack in the Box!!!!

Now if we can only get that Jason is a god article out their. :metal

If a Beer needs lime then its crap, thats my philosphy. Oh ya, I didn't mean to say Bud, I prefer Miller.

Let me guess, you also put a freakin lime in that crap too. Just gimme a bud, if I'm gonna import something for beer, its going to be Tecate.

Oh, please! Dry that myth about Young and you can fertilize the lawn. I know kids who went there who didn't live in the city and I also know kids who go/went there who are about as thick as a brick (but they're also worth quite a bit of money). And the problem isn't that New Trier is a better or worse school than like Morgan Park; the problem is that New Trier gets a ton more funding because its located in an area with higher property values. And everyone seems to still mis my point... I applaud people who work hard and try to better their lives. They should be rewarded with nicer things, bigger houses, etc. etc. HOWEVER, all people are entitled to proper shelter, adequate health care, and a decent education. No matter what, you should not be allowed to take these three basics away. It makes it SOOOOOO much easier to climb up and make something of your life when you have a place to go home to every night and a place to take a hot shower in the morning, and peace of mind knowing that if you get sick or injured, your finnacial life won't be catastrophically ruined. I think all children deserve those things, but if those children don't take advantage of what is given to them and just stay lazy and become crackheads or something, then screw them. Go spend your tax money on people that will take advantage of the help. Most of my friends think like you Matt, but I think since I work for a pretty good size company I simply see things different. It isn't wrong to want to help people, I think the thing is, a ton of people get helped and just mooch of it. It is those people that don't deserve the help and the system needs to be fixed so it doesn't happen. Its an impossible task to do, but hey...just cause its impossible doesn't mean you shouldn't work on it. Also, their is nothing I hate more then hearing about racism, because I Think all that quota crap is reverse racism. I understand that many other races get discrimminated, but I Know that I don't do that, nor do the majority of the people in the United States anymore and in all hoensty I don't see how forcing someone into a job, improves the situation. Its just like punishing those who did the discriminating and that doesn't solve anything. Discrimination will never completely go away, but its a whole lot better now, and it will only continue to become that way as the young people of America as well as the older people all meet more cultures and interact with them more and more often on a day to day basis.

At least we agree on the minor leagues. I wish we had a better general manager, but I just got a feeling that Kw is the best we got, so I'm just going to route and hope he turns into a good gm. I alreayd know he knows minor league talent, and he is smart. I disagree with his I'm in charge mentality, but I can only hope it changes, cause I have no hope that JR will go out and bring someone better in. Come on KW, Earn yourself an Executive of the Year award!!!!!!!!!!!!:metal

To me thats more then a good offer for Parque. I think he'll sign that one. I mean the guy keeps yapping about how great he is, well then go out and prove it and you get yourself a fair contract considering the crap numbers you put up last year. I'd like to see what a full year of being healthy does to him...probably nothing, but lets see. Oh ya, I like the Pettite idea, brings in a solid lefty who typically is healthy(Knock on Wood if he comes to the Sox) and gives you innings. He isn't my favorite pitcher, but he is clutch and he gets wins.
-
Maybe...just maybe it is a sign that the tribune is starting to recognize this board and soxnet. I know it recognizes the other White Sox site. I figure its only time until they figure out about this one.

Oh ya, s***tiest Beer ever. It ranks right their with Corona, :puke

Maggs is awesome.

I'll be rooting for the rebuilding Hawkeyes, so I'll go with someone like Gonzaga!!!

It could be one of those things they introduce at a college campus. I know thats what they did with that crap Zima.

Just proves to me you have no grip or concept of real life. Anybody knows that life is always changing and evolving. To think that politics, real life, emotions, etc. don't change and that you cannot change a specific political view, real life scenario, emotion, etc. to better suit a group of people when confronted with certain facts proves, to me at least, that you are a spoiled brat and, more than likely, are waiting for something to be handed to you. I will not expound on this post any further to avoid being labeled a blood-thristy, neanderthal, Hitler by doubleM simply because he has no grasp on real life. I'm out..... Hell no, I don't expect anything to be handed to me... s***, I eat three meals a day and I have a roof over my head... What more do I need? I'm all about hand outs to those who've had the cards stacked against them since Day 1. For 7 or 8 generations too huh? What's wrong with telling "those" to get up off their dead f***ing ass and do something with your life? Break the cycle of "cards"..... so to speak. I'm so sick of hearing groups, particularly minorities, that the middle/upper class have been keeping them down for all this time. Bulls***! For decades the middle/upper class taxpayers have been paying for their food, medical bills, utilities, housing, child care, etc. Not to mention that ALL people in this country (including the immigrants) have an equal opportunity to do what they make of public education. The real crime against minorities has been perpetrated by the liberals..... constantly telling the minorities that, without their vote, they will lose all of the public assistance aid which is given to them so freely. The "cards" dealt to the people who have the "(odds) stacked against them since Day 1" are dealt by the liberals whose ideology you so vigorously embrace. Oh please! Tell me the people going to Morgan Park and the rest of the CPS schools have the same opprotunities as the people who go to Whitney Young or New Trier. They may not have as good of opportunities, but neither did my parents when they grew up, especially my dad who came from a poor farming town in Iowa where his family damn near died because they didn't have food. That didn't stop them from busting their ass and making enough out of life. My dad then joined the Navy Reserves so he could get money for school and went on to college where he learned a little something, but just kept working his ass off, putting me in position where I can have a roof under my table and not worry about the problems he had to when he was younger. His school system wasn't that great back then. The thing is you have to want to learn and you need to make the most out of your situation. Yes, some people just get screwed in life or have things keep getting them, and they deserve help, but other people I know from experience don't fall in that boat. I'm happy to help anyone out who works their ass of cause I know that they will eventually not ask for you help, but if they are lazy, then the hell with them. Sorry, but thats how I feel.

Wait until you graduate and start making middle class money and paying middle class taxes and you'll know why. Isn't a democracy a people government so everyone should pay the taxes. If you make less, then you should pay less, just like if you make more you should pay more, but just because someone makes a whole lot doesn't mean their %'s should just keep shooting up. I know its how the government gets their money, but whose to say they deserve to get their money taken away, simply because they can live in a nicer house and car. Me, I make a whole 7.50 an hour working part time, but I know even then I b**** everytime the government takes my money. Of course I get most of it back, but I couldn't even imagine working my ass off to pull 100k a year or so and seeing boatloads(Something like 30% of it, maybe more like 25%) taken away for taxes. I think taxes are the biggest reason I support the republican party. I'd like the government to stay out of my affairs when it comes to business and all that other stuff. Their job is to protect us with laws and the police enforcing them as well as offering military protection. Let the businessmen do their stuff. Of course government also needs to help out with education and other things that help society grow. Just my 2 cents.

I like Fruit Punch, I'll have to try it one of these weeks. I just don't drink much Soda, I stick to juice.

Ya, its a little late and I've yet to really pay much attention to whose winning, but I went out this morning and voted for the first time ever. I tried to know a bit about the candidates, but their are so many things out their. Still the way I see it, you can't complain unless you vote, otherwise you didn't do you own job to use your say so you shouldn't have a say.

I'm glad to see Miami was dumped down to 3 in the BCS.
-
Ya you missed the Hawks trade and then 2 straight Bulls wins. Then they lost 2 in a row, but they looke damn good yesterday late in the game coming back to tie it, but lost in overtime. I'm hoping they can beat Boston in the United Center so they can get back above .500 A win their will be huge cause you never know what a 3 game losing streak could do.

Oh man, back for a day and he's already gotcha Michelle, lol.
