QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 11:59 AM) Here even I have to disagree, and I'll do so on the behalf of the immigrants themselves. Think about the conditions these people are enduring (the ones who are actually crossing the southern border and not the 1/2 of them or so overstaying Visas). They are crossing the border either in the middle of the desert or stuffed somewhere into vehicles. They are taking work with employers who are willing to break the law. And then they are essentially totally at the mercy of those employers, because those employers could have them deported by tipping off the authorities. They work with no protection. There are no labor laws, no workplace protections that protect them. They can be put in the harshest conditions, sweatshops, no health care, and even wind up dead, because they aren't protected by the law from their employers. No one in good conscience can possibly defend a system which allows people to work and live without the protection of the law. Well its not like there coming over here from castles to work like that. They have it just as bad in nothern Mexico, I'd say worse. Towns like Juarez, where an estimated 268 women have been killed since 1993 and slave labor, rape and other such atrocites are the normal. This do to NAFTA. So we should be pointing the finger at employers, not people trying to escape a harsh reality for the chance to not have that. So why don't we resverse things like Nafta and spend some money to help build econmy in northern Mexico. We spent billions of dollars on a country half way around the world. We can spend money on one right next to us.

poor Christian's. There so oppressed, when will they ever have the same rights as everyone else. sigh.

I was reading one that said satan was on earth and had a list of people for hell. So is that still gonna happen or has this been canceled.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 11:47 AM) That's not true, either. I don't care where these people are from (Mexico, Canada, Britian, Europe, Africa, Asia), they need to get here legally. That's it. Of course legal is the way to go. I think that should be the way. I just don't like peoples attitudes about people who come here ilegally. There just poor people trying to better there lives. You have people saying we should "round" them up and so forth. I really don't think that Ilegal immigration is that serious of a problem anyway.

I think police in the chicagoland area spend to much time with traffic. Than again i've seen some nasty accidents on I-57 and I don't if its people driving to fast or what. I don't know. I dont like them dressing up undercover though. unless they have big mustaches. Than its cool.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 11:39 AM) And with that right there, you have lost all credibility. If you had said that SOME people feel that way, it would be accurate. To say it in a broad statement like that, or even to call it a "good amount", is just assinine. when by "good amount". I mean good amount of people who are active against immigration. Not of the general population.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 7, 2007 -> 11:31 AM) My comments to you aren't available for public consumtion regarding the trash you posted. It's just pure trash and nothing else needs to be said, other then get a f***ing clue like I told you the first time. It has nothing to do with YOU, it has to do with your ignorant post. I don't get how it's ignorant. It's being honest. White people in this country who complain non stop about immigration don't like mexicans or at least don't like them living near them. At least have the nerves to come out and and admit it. I'm not saying that everyone is, but a good amount of people are.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) For some people, its racism. But there are also clearly some very real negative consequences for all involved when there is a constant stream of illegal immigrants into the country. Mexico is the focus, at least in part, because they are by far the biggest part of that problem. And who exactly are you saying is blaming other people for their problems? I'd say that middle to upper class white americans have blamed other people for their problems. There always talking about how mexicans did this or black people do this. Not all are like that, but a good amount.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 04:01 PM) I won't say what I want to, because I'd have to ban myself. I will say this, though. Get a f***ing clue. Say it. I'm not gonna get offended. If you don't like me say it.

I didn't know Gio was that good with his change up. Good to hear.

I think Russell will be real good as long as doesn't throw more than 2 innings per outing.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jul 25, 2007 -> 05:02 PM) lol, now Giuliani is Hitler. I thought Bush was? make up your mind I never called him Hitler. I guessing backing your police force when they shoot an unarmed man 41 times is cool. You know maybe people compare Bush and Hitler so much because they have a lot in common. Considering his grand-daddy profited off Hitler.

I wish the people that were against "ilegal immigration" would just come out and admit that they just don't like mexicans. Its quite clear. We all know that if it was canadians coming in and not mexicans they wouldnt care. There seems to be this angry agressive attitude in people that are all firey about it. I think it will lead to violence and other such means. Its just white america trying to keep it as white as can be. Who are 99% of the people complaining about this. middle and upper class white america. And besides all that. Get a f***in life and stop blaming other people for your problems.

I think fields would be solid in LF. I bet he would be better than Pods. If anything i'm sure he has a better arm. I think he plays a fine 3b as well though.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Aug 3, 2007 -> 11:38 AM) I think people are forgetting the Sox already have their DH replacement when Thome retires/leaves after his contract is up. He's at 1B. Yeah Cause Konerko has looked so bad at 1b this year and has been so hurt. Konerko has showed no sign that he cant play 1b for 3 more years. This is something people are putting into their heads. Konerko had played 101 out of 108 games this year at 1b. Making a whoping 3 errors.

I wouldnt mind him back for a two year deal. Nothing more than that. I think he can still play a solid RF. I think he might need more days off. He really only has to play Rf for one more year and than can become are DH once Granpa Thome leaves.

QUOTE(Chisox_fan @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 03:14 PM) Hawk said Logan is hurt too...anyone know anything else? I missed the early inning with him in it.. hey might is well keep the body count going up.

I hope I never see him in Sox uniform again.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 01:49 PM) he's a big headed actor. his head is so big, it's bigger than Polanco's! no way, Polanco has a monster head. Id take him on the Sox though.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 2, 2007 -> 01:43 PM) So, now that we only have Buehrle, Vazquez, and Jenks pitching well for us this year, why does Don Cooper have a job? duh cause he fixed MAtt Thorton. Look at how good he is!

I cant believe we were up 8-1 and are almost tied. Just unreal.

I think we've given up a homerun to every player on the Yankees this series except Arod.

oh boy.

why does this come to a shock to people? Look whos in power. Dick Cheeny is one of the few people to be against the clean water act. When you vote in people like George Bush don't be suprised when your swiming in toxic waste.

Danks is gonna do his best Luke skywalker tonight.
