QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 6, 2011 -> 06:10 AM) Do what you want. Point to the wackos at Occupy protests and say that's the real movement and pick out the best tea party types and say that's the true tea party. That is really easy because it fits your political beliefs and view of the world. I try to apply the same to both. I ignore the ignorant and publicity seekers in both groups.

QUOTE (Tex @ Nov 5, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) Who is in charge of any movement like this? Who is there to denounce them? OK, I denounce them! You denounced them, so I guess people are denouncing them. Where there are crowds, there are idiots. This movement in particular attracts some really idiots. And those are the ones making headlines because they are committing crimes. There are people cooping this for their own agendas. I can sit here and match you post for post where people in outstanding organizations do some pretty despicable things. That doesn't mean every soldier, cop, teacher, tea partier, etc are bad. There are many more Americans who agree with some of the protesters who can't be at the protests. I'm talking about the protest back in my hometown, it's a small town Occupy protest. They are idiots. And I said they unfairly color my opinion of the movement as a whole and that I don't believe the majority, or even close, apply to that stigma. Tex, I like you and generally agree with you, but read those points man.

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Nov 5, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) Well, anger aside, that's my foremost thought on these protests. The base complaint is valid (although sometimes misdirected), the proposed solutions aren't, and a lot of the behavior is completely dishonorable. And this leaves me as no big fan of these guys. Back in my hometown, it's been organized by; an ex-con who is mad that he can't get a job because of that, a kid that sat next to me in 4th grade in the honors program who dropped out of high school, and a high school junior pot-head, who, while a nice kid, knows nothing about how society is run. When they endorsed dropping a government and going with self governance and couldn't fathom how that doesn't work. The dropout said he was going to "attack the politicians son but dont want to hurt his feelings u can thk me l8r." I went into a rant about how forming a sentence is a better step. Also, school board members are now politicians? It's amazing the people they get...dropouts, stoners, and people who just do s*** to rebel. And I'm not generalizing...I went to school with an overwhelming majority of them. Not saying that all of the protests are like that, I doubt many are. But it's hard to say that they haven't colored my vision of the whole movement.

QUOTE (Cali @ Nov 5, 2011 -> 08:56 PM) Also, just looking at the lists linked, there are some non-human villains in there like the shark from Jaws, the Alien from Alien etc. Are we counting monster like villains as well? I doubt half the guys from my list make it. It's such a wide spectrum to choose from.

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Nov 4, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) They can go out there and protest all they want. But they can't demand any of my hard earned wealth while not contributing on their own. I've seen enough of this protest to know a large majority of them are just the "have nots" being pissy at the "haves". If they left it at simply ending corporate welfare, I'm game. After all, that's true capitalism! Let the good businesses win and the bad ones fail. I'm down with that. But they are carrying a lot of baggage, ranging from ideas that I will never agree with to actions that I despise. And for those reasons, I will never join them. This. QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Nov 5, 2011 -> 08:08 PM) You haven't figured out that's sort of my whole schtick by now?

QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Nov 5, 2011 -> 07:49 PM) Maybe it's just poor syntax on your part, but the 5th Stryker Brigade has roughly 4,000 Soldiers. And what, five of them, turned out to be murderous douchebags? Anyway, yeah, f*** them. They're not Soldiers and I'd gladly be the executioner for all of them. And for Calley. I don't know anything about the last three, but if they're anything like the first two examples, then f*** them too. I'll denounce the s*** out of people who disgrace the uniform. I wear this uniform with pride and I have no tolerance for people who would use it as a way to murder innocent people. Let the Taliban and the Palestinians celebrate murder and terrorism from those within their ranks; let us punish it when we find it amongst us. It just shows who's superior here. So that's just it. Where are the denouncements from OWS' main camp about the riots in Oakland and the idiocy in DC last night and the drug use and the rapes? If nobody denounces it and says that's not what they're about, how am I supposed to know that there are indeed good people in the movement? They risk being judged by their craziest elements. And so far, to be honest, I haven't seen a protester who does come across as sensible or reasonable or even likeable. Even the ones who aren't simply vulgar and clownish come off as tragically uninformed. I've agreed with some of your points in this thread, but you are very, very angry.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 5, 2011 -> 09:55 AM) Sorry about that, I said 80 and then 40. It should be 40 since GTA San Andreas took place in the early 90's. I believe it was '92 to be exact. Either way, he would be 43 now. Tommy would be 60 according to GTA wiki. No way either of them are involved past a few cameos. http://kotaku.com/5856054/one-image-makes-...ormer-gta-icons

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 4, 2011 -> 07:54 PM) Well whaddya know about that. Jim Thome goes down in 05, Ryan Howard steps in. Ryan Howard destroys his leg, Jim Thome steps in. I'd imagine he's almost got to play some 1b while Howard works back. Good for Thome.

Minnie is a really nice guy if you get the chance to meet him... ...but even before meeting him, I thought he should be a HoFer, so good luck Minnie!

If Buehrle is on any other team next year, I will cry. If it's for the Cubs, I'll cry and be pissed.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 4, 2011 -> 12:14 PM) Dont you have to put God in quotations since its a mythical being based on your beliefs? I hate how she said "it's right." Ok, to you, yes. To others? Maybe not. He's not mocked for being religious, but because he's seen as a demigod but can't play for s***.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 3, 2011 -> 03:44 PM) Or Bo Jackson. No, Frank. Frank would have eaten Ryan alive.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 3, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) Plus, Ryan didn't even throw a punch until Pudge Rodriguez grabbed and held Ventura. And Robin actually takes him down as everyone else starts getting involved. That fight was horses***. And if you look at it, Ventura's heart isn't in that fight. He was standing up for his guys. I so wish that Frank had charged instead.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 3, 2011 -> 03:16 PM) Black mother f***ing Jack. Black Jack, not only does he have a great nickname, but he is a badass.

Hypothetical: What if it had been Frank that charged the mound?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 3, 2011 -> 12:09 AM) Congrats to Mark, a special player. Do yu guys think any way the Royals will make a bid for him? He's exactly what they need if they wish to do squat next season. No. For Mark I see Cards, Sox, or retiring.

So who becomes 3B coach?

QUOTE (cws0591 @ Nov 3, 2011 -> 12:36 AM) that guy does look like tommy, but he looked too young given the time when Vice City took place. Plus the narrator had a Hispanic accent. I think it is more likely that the GTA 3 character(could that guy be him in light of the games ten year anniversary?) or CJ make an appearance seeing as they both made appearances in San A before. Also, I am so hyped for this game that I am going to purchase Saints Row 3 just to scratch that sandbox itch I've got. f*** it, put Claude, Tommy, CJ, and Niko all in the game.
