QUOTE (CB2.0 @ Jun 17, 2016 -> 12:09 AM) Your first paragraph doesn't surprise - it supports my conclusion (self loathing gay). None of those organizations have tolerance for homosexuality. NONE OF THEM. NOT A SINGLE ONE. You couldn't find a more COMMON AND CLEAR SENSE of idealogy. Get real. I'd just like to point out that I agree with a lot of what you have to say when it comes to intolerance inherent in a lot of religions, specifically this one, especially against LGBT, etc...but when you finish off every post with "Get real", it makes you come across like a condescending prick, and there is no reason for it. Rex is simply trying convey his feelings about why this hit so close to him while having a conversation about it, which you had, only you signed off with a backhanded comment in both of your last two posts.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 08:45 AM) The only way to not act on this attraction IMO is if both partners in the married couple believe in God and just simply won't allow themselves to go there. Greg, there are plenty of gay and straight couples that don't cheat and I'm sure they would tell you the reason has everything to do with respect for each other, trust/commitment, the belief in the institution of marriage, etc. If you want to attribute Biblical or higher powers to being the reason for couples having integrity/fidelity, that's great, but there are just as many Christian/Catholic couples who are held in high regard and go to church every Sunday and tithe who are cheating than non-Christians. Exactly what I was going to say.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 09:17 PM) Ditto. Played some game called "Montezumas Revenge". No joke. Had no clue what I was doing. Also "Pitfall" I remember montazumas very well lol. And of course pitfall. One of the coolest games was The Castle of Dr. Creep.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 07:16 PM) I was reading some of the tweets and other comments that flame the parents from Nebraska whose 2-year old was killed by an alligator and started wondering is the internet too harsh? These parents had just watched their child being eaten by an alligator. Do they really deserve to be vilified as well? I think it depends on the circumstances and facts. Quite often the Internet tends to react before the facts are available, and are more often than not wrong when the facts do emerge. The Internet can be harsh, and sometimes deservedly so...

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 07:09 PM) Actually now that I think about 1200 was my first. A prototype from Incomm Data a customer of mine at the time. Full card that fit in my 8088 case. Wow that was almost literally a lifetime ago. My first was on a Commodore 64! We're showing our age.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 06:53 PM) And sometimes not. My in laws just celebrated 65 years of marriage. They credit their faith in keeping that marriage alive. Well absolutely. Sometimes they life the truth as opposed to living the lie and if you choose to do that through faith, again, I have no problem with that choice. So long as it's the truth. The only thing I take issue with in regard to this is basing a marriage on lies. If you have to lie about the things you did, are doing or will be doing, don't do them.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 06:41 PM) Right....Sex At Dawn. Would love to hear your response to this particular book. Although I agree, 85-90%, with what you're saying about being hypocritical and NOT "still being a good dad/father" while consistently cheating on your wife/gf and covering it up. I read the synopsis and I doubt I'd disagree with it. Only thing I disagree with or have a problem with is lying. If she's ok with that lifestyle I have absolution NO opinion on it. I don't tell others how to live their lives, I just don't want them to lie to others in order to do it.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 06:55 PM) GEnie was the first I joined. Followed by Prodigy then AOL. Before that dialing into servers on my blazing 4200 baud modem was the way to go. Exec PC in Milwaukee and The Well in S.F. where two of my favorites. Long distance bills were killer at times. I started at 300 baud...and as for long distance charges, as was said in WarGames...there were ways around that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 06:42 PM) I pretty much agree with you. I don't know why people cheat. I'll tell you one thing. I know a lot of you despise religion but I love watching the families that come to church every Sunday and sit by me. I feel like if God is in the equation for both partners they would never cheat. Sometimes those couples are the worst offenders. Don't be fooled by the veneer. Look, I'm realistic, and I have no problem with couples not being monogamous if that's their agreement/choice. I do, however, have an issue with those that buy into the institution based on lies and worse, sometimes continue the lie for many years before it ultimately blows up and ruins people's lives or relationships. All I want is for people to be honest. If you want to sleep around, say so. But if you want to buy into the institution of marriage as we know it today without such an agreement in place, then don't.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 06:33 PM) Seems like some men here need to read "Man At Dawn." Never heard of it, now I need to go look this up due to vague posting. Should this be sex at dawn? Can't find man at dawn.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) OK, I like your post. You are an upstanding person, but like I've posted on here before I have a good friend, a very good friend who cheats on his wife currently. He got caught once and is still doing it. Yes I should probably not have him as a friend anymore. But I do know 2 different kinds of people and have friends in both camps. One set are the guys who actively cheat on their wives. Some even on trips with the boys to Vegas, etc. They simply cheat. As often as they can. They also are good providers and good dads. Do I approve of this? No. I even told the one good friend he needs to get help. He went to the psychiatrist once and returned a second visit and said the guy had forgotten half the stuff he said in the first session so he'd never go back!! The other group of guys I hang out with would never cheat on their wives. They are great guys and loyal. Finally my brother's best friend one night came crying to my brother cause his wife up and left him, no warning, cause she had cheated with another guy. She also stole all the money from their bank account, etc. So women do it too. I think a bachelor party with strippers can be OK if the guy handles it like a guy I know. He had a bachelor party at a strip club and mainly was the center of attention. He mostly chatted up the waitress, who was hot. he got a few lap dances but did not go VIP and all the lap dances he got were right there in front of everybody else. He didn't go to some corner like some people do, etc. Pretty innocent. He also got s***faced drunk. What bothers me about this is it loudly says that no, they're actually NOT good dads. Because someday, odds are their own kids will meet people just like them...and that makes you a piece of s*** in my mind. And let me be clear here...if that's how you want to live, I'm fine with that...but say it. Be a man. If that's the kind of relationship you and your wife want to have, I'm fully behind that, only it has to be an agreement BOTH make. But if you're pretending to be one thing, yet doing another...it makes you the worst kind of liar there is. If you can't do that, fine...don't get married...nobody's forcing you to do so. Again, this isn't directed at you. I just have very very strong feelings about this. I'm also realistic...I fully understand humans have urges...but what makes us different from the common animal is we have the ability to control those urges. And for those of us that legitimately have addiction issues, know that we live in a world where help is available if you aren't too much of a coward to seek it. Oh, edit...that last paragraph isn't even "that bad", so long as he told her he was going to a strip club...if she was ok with that kind of innocent interaction, fine...no issues. Again...with me it's about admitting it. If you want to go to a strip club for your bachelor or bachelorette party, have the guts to say it to you're significant other. If you don't have the guts to say it...or have to lie about what happened that night, then you're starting off your lives wrong.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 06:08 PM) I'm sorry, I meant nothing good comes out of talking about a wild bachelor party with strippers. I thought I put that. See you mention strippers and there's potential trouble for the groom and embarrassment for the clown who spent two hours with a stripper in the VIP and spent 2,000. Or if somebody got a BJ or something. You have to shut up. Take the oath of silence. Nobody should hear about the wilder bachelor parties and some do indeed spill the beans. I know what you meant, I just think if that's what you have to do...then you probably shouldn't be getting married in the first place. I also made some edits as to clear up my thoughts. The mere idea that someday, I know the odds are on my daughters meeting some c*** that does this kind of thing are very high angers me. And no, I'm not talking about teenage bulls*** "love", I know kids are are...I remember being that age. I mean the people they meet that "swear their lives together" only to f*** it all up over a lack of self control.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 05:34 PM) I don't think I'd forgive the best man. I don't think I'd let him be my best man after that. That's just insane posse. Great post. Nothing good comes out of talking about a bachelor party. People will be satisfied if EVERYBODY says you played cards and ordered a pizza. Anybody that says what really happens at one of the wilder bachelor parties should be ashamed of himself. You can get grooms in a lot of trouble just by saying there were strippers. Why does nothing good come from talking about a bachelor party? I went to Fogo with all my friends, spent tons of money, had some laughs, and then we went back to a friends house and drank and played Hold'em all night. Then I went home to my fiancee. That's it. What bad comes of talking about that? If you or anyone at your party needs to "get a story straight" or lie for the next however many years...it means you did something wrong...and you know it...otherwise you'd be man enough to not need some bulls*** story to cover your tracks. I waited until I was 35 to get married BECAUSE all that tits and ass bulls*** was out of my system and I knew I'd arrived at a point where I could settle down and be "legit". What do I mean by legit? Glad you asked. Listen, and this isn't directed at you Greg, it's directed at EVERYONE. I have two daughters, and what hope do they or any of our kids have, if even we, the sole people in their lives that actually don't want anything from them -- ever -- what hope do they have if even we can't live up to an ideal where we treat our significant other with some f***ing respect as to not need to see/touch or want other women RIGHT BEFORE WE START OUR LIVES TOGETHER? Want to do any of that? Fine...be a f***ing man and say it to her, or put it in your vows and declare it to everyone present that that's who you are...otherwise know you're a coward c*** for making promises you have no intention to uphold. Get the urge to cheat? Fine. Jerk off and be done. Otherwise you're nothing more than a weak minded Neanderthal that let's primal urges control who you are. That's being an animal...and if you ever post anything on this forum about being above animals yet you cheat on your spouse or need to see strippers...stop posting, because that's exactly what you are. An animal. Also known as a weak willed c*** with no dignity. Still need to see strippers? That's cool...but don't get married, you aren't ready. Otherwise, look in the mirror and know you're just another c*** you're own kids will grow up too meet someday and they'll end up with the same weak willed bulls*** in their lives you gave your wife/soon to be wife. /rant

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 09:59 PM) Grow up. You're marrying a woman who's likely way better than some dirty strippers. Again, grow up. Kudos to your best man. I always feel there is a great disturbance in the force when I agree with you.

I have faith this douche will get what's coming to him.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 09:08 PM) And at the end of the day all this is moot; credit shmedit. Either you have some capital to take out a loan or you don't. Either your income and history looks like you can pay it back or it doesn't. I'd argue it's a big waste of time to worry about a fluctuating credit score. Either you can cut a deal with a lender or not. While a credit score is not necessary if you can prove you have the money to back a loan, it does make life much easier for the majority of people. The issue with having credit is, that usually means you have credit cards, and most people cannot handle having credit cards.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) Were they disappointed you moved back in?

Came back a few weeks ago from a little camping trek through the LBL area of Lake Kentucky/Barkley Lake. Great area, love driving the trace. Kids had a great time, too.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 07:11 AM) Here is one ap that someone needs to develop. Crowd source wait app. Log in when you arrive at a place and click off when you are served. Eventually a pattern will appear and people can judge when to go. Places it would be nice would be the emissions place in Schaumburg. Food Truck app similar to Tap Hunter. In order for something like this to exist, it has to source data from nearly ubiquitous app installation, which is easier said than done. It would also need to be much easier than manually logging in and logging out every visit. Even Google can't convince Apple users to install Hangouts...then again, Google acts like a petulant 2 year old with no attention span when it comes to chat apps...so there's that. In either case, something like this is already incorporated into Google Maps. When you bring up a business, it will show you peak times that specific business is busy based on crowd sourced information.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 29, 2016 -> 07:00 PM) That's like asking who was the manager in 05? You can get lucky once. Otherwise the pattern is there and before 2005. Most of the team where guys from other clubs. Luck or not, you said the Sox have been bad since KW was GM, you don't get to ignore 2005 because it's convenient to your argument. And it's nothing like asking who the manager was, you specifically said GM, so I pointed out that GM was also in charge in 2005. Because he was.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ May 29, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) Name one stat that points to 2005 being anything more than an anomaly. This has nothing to do with his statement that the team had been bad since KW was GM. 2005, fluke or not, proves this incorrect.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ May 29, 2016 -> 06:15 PM) Ever since Kenny was the GM. Who exactly was the GM in 05 then?

QUOTE (SCCWS @ May 29, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) Yeah, he should have brought Jones in yesterday. Oh wait, seeing him today that wouldn't have worked. Putnam, no he pitched 2 innings yesterday. He should have closed w Kahnle...............no he didn't get it done yesterday. Damn Avi was available. He should have got a shot. With the massive lead they had, if you bring someone in and they fail, fine...change them out. Even a b**** replacement pitcher should be able to accidentally get a few outs by virtue of chance. The issue is Robin sticking with people beyond the point of bend...he literally waits for the dyke to break to bring out the bags of sand. Stop the excuses.

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 29, 2016 -> 04:58 PM) Sure it is. He brings Jones in for 6 hitters, gets one out before lifting him. Stayed with him too long, just like yesterday with Robo-choke. I actually like Robertson, but again, Robin should know better than to put a closer in a non save situation. That's also on him. And then watching as he rotted on the vine to blow a massive lead.
