QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 04:34 PM) I'll simplify this for you. You have two choices: 1) Allow your kid to fail or worse be put in special ed. 2) Do all that you can to gain your kid added time to do well in school. Which will you choose? You cannot simplify your childs education for anything, especially a social life. If your child doesnt want to be in Special Ed, she needs to get her ass home and put her nose in a book. Option 2 is pretty simplified from "I am doing my daughters homework and she reviews it." Noone ever said you couldnt help your child do her homework, just dont do it.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) reminds me of someone..... LOL

Skips annoying and he just talks to make sure that his voice still works. I have been forced to listen to him on the Jim Rome show, and its always the same thing. He just thinks of the most insensitive and controversial thing to say, and gets behind it 100 percent. Nobody can change his mind, and he just keeps talking.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 04:18 PM) This "experiment" as you call it began in December. It resulted in her grades going from F-D-C's to C-B's. I don't argue with success. Do I believe that with my efforts I can get her to B-A's? Yes. Will my wife, myself, & my daughter be more happier with that? Absolutely. I just dont see those C's and B's as being earned, Juggs. Sorry. Comprehension is a huge part, and if you are doing the homework, then she isnt reading the material. You are essentially becoming her cliff notes, and that doesnt prepare her for the future. Do you want her to be happy in the future? Or do you still want her crying to you for money because she doesnt have the job she wants because she doesnt feel liek working? I just see this as you setting her up for a future fall. The path of least resistance is not always the correct path.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) Actually I've long said I thought Shoop would make a good coach. He wasn't near the s***ty offensive coordinator everyone made him out to be. Hell, his offense wasn't all that crappy when we got to the playoffs. It was conservative and took advantage of our very strong defense (which is sometimes what you want). You could make a case that with a good defense you don't want to get too agressive because you end up putting your defense in a tough spot, plus you don't give them proper rest. Shoop did have his flaws, but he's a very good mind and a hard worker and I know Jon Gruden is a big fan of his. I think the Raiders could do far worse (and have most of the time) than Shoop. I think he'll prove most Bear fans wrong. The flaw with his offenses were that we absolutely had s*** for talent. Its the truth. I will agree to this to an extent. But when he was with the Bears, he also had a hard time with being flexible in his game plan, and that bit us in the ass more times than I could count. Sure, the personel sucked, but there were plays he would run, specifically the 3 yard slant on a 3rd and long, that just made no sense whatsoever. When the Bears went to the playoffs, he was exposed for not being able to adjust. The Offense wasnt spectacular that year, but it wasnt as bad as the next two years. And the Eagles knew what Shoop was running before he was going to run it. I do think he will have some success doing something though, although I think the Raiders is biting off more than he can chew

Its a really old list too. There are a bunch of movies I saw on there that are already in production or on the shelves.

Last Summer, And What You Did Back Then Who Knows What You Did Last Summer? ME, THAT'S WHO! This has Tara Reid written all over it

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 03:39 PM) About as ridiculous as letting them fail & having to listen to your wife cry her eyes out because all they talk about at family parties & get togethers is how well their kids are doing in school. I just faced the reality of the situation & choose the route which I can best control with respect to my time commitment. Prior to just doing the homework I was playing the role of reviewing it. That took up more of my time. Why? Because the process of review requires having to teach the child what she did wrong. You wind up doing the homework anyways. Now I just have to do the homework & my wife then plays the role of the reviewer. When it comes time to study for tests & quizzes my wife handles that. I just have to produce answer keys. I'm getting time back for myself & I'm increasing my efficiency in doing the homework. My time commitment is ENTIRELY under my control. This is a house of cards, Juggs, and its gonna fall sooner or later. If she isnt studying this stuff, whats going to happen when she gets to college and has to do this stuff on her own? You are enabling your daughter. You are giving her no reason to feel that the stuff you are doing for her is important, so why should she do it? And your wife is even worse to you. What would make your wife cry more? Your daughters bad grades causing people to "talk", or your wife's friends and family finding out that you are skipping your daughter through school because she doesnt feel like doing the work because it is cutting in on her shopping time?

Juggs, this really surprises me out of you. You dont come across as the type that would do your daughters homework so that she wont guilt trip you about her social life. Tough love my friend. If she cannot do the necassary work, and cannot pass the tests, then she doesnt deserve a social life. It should be pretty clear to you, tell her to do her own work if she wants to go out and enjoy herself. You will feel better about it, thats for sure.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) Collect a penny for everytime you see "no one" spelt "noone" on the 'net, and within an hour you will be a rich man. People have been trying to turn the Peter Noone reply into the new Spam, kind of. Ok Mr Spellcheck, dont you have a Sci Fi Film Festival to attend?

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:43 PM) BTW...Clemens, Pettitte and Peavy are in the NL! so what, they were in the quote that contained all the pitchers that you said Mark Buehrle was better than.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:42 PM) This thread is fantastic and awful at the same time. There are like 7 arguments going on, none of which make any sense. And one Herman's Hermits reference, from out of nowhere. And before you even start, I don't want to bet anyone about anything!!! LOL, Kid Gleason was cracking me up too. This thread is like a person with multiple personalities going at it.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:30 PM) Fine Steff...you obviously know EVERYTHING too! Buehrle sucks! Are you guys happy now. I was wrong, you were right. BTW...I am a licensed attorney in the State of Illinois. Just because I do not work full time as an attorney doesn't mean that I am not an attorney!!! Dont you get it? Noone said Buehrle sucks! YOU SAID HE WAS BETTER THAN THE REST. BTW Noone gives a s*** about your proffession. It has no bearing on this messageboard, quit trying to throw it around as if it means something. Your silly bets dont give you more credibility.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:27 PM) ...and I'd have the balls to admit it. Unlike you (and Rock). Sure..... thats what you ahve been doing for 16 pages. Admitting that you were wrong, right?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:24 PM) Wait, you mean saying that one player is better than or equal to every other player at his position in MLB and then backing up his statement not with stats or fact but with conjecture is somehow hypocritical? you better watch your words buddy or you will be on the wrong side of a 1000 dollar bet

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:19 PM) It has to do with you people shooting off your mouths, THEN not having the cojones to back up your words! Sure buddy. We have backed pretty much everything we have argued with facts, while you keep trying to change your argument and then bet us 1000 bucks so we will shut up. Give it up, even if you were a lawyer, and even if you did take 1000 bucks from Rock, you would still be wrong in your arguments here.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) Haha, didn't even notice that he mentioned Vlad's name. You'd figure someone who supposidly watches Sox games would have seen him lay a massive egg in the playoffs last year. Oh, Felix got him on that one. If you go back, Felix kept throwing in some good zingers

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:16 PM) Why does everything become a bet? I think that has to do with feeling a little inadequate after being pwned in a thread repeatedly.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) Then bet me!!! BTW, dob 01/01/1962!!! would you stop making that dumbass bet and try and argue like an adult?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:11 PM) A 14 year old lawyer. Wow! I'm impressed. uh oh, another Admin pwning?

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) Keep on backing down, Rock. That's one thing you're good at, not letting your mouth write checks that your ass can't cash. Coward. :headshake This is hilarious. you keep doing the same thing, making bad arguments through a thread and deteriorating into name calling, worthless bets, and more name calling. Steve Bartman would be ashamed edit: Kalapse, you better not close this at 220 just so you win the bet

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:06 PM) You can bet me too, but I know you can't get a $1,000.00 together, McDonalds doesn't pay that well. LOLOLOL. You know you have won an argument with SBMI when this happens. Take note people!
