  1. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 09:37 AM) Frazier is not worth Anderson or Fulmer. Or Adams IMO. +1
  2. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I know they need time to "gel" but I'm still waiting for this Hoiberg effect.
  3. I'm not advocating taking the money of the rich FWIW. I just think they deserve no extra f***ing protecting. They are like coddle children and it's f***ing disgusting.
  4. QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:55 PM) Wrong. http://www.chicagobooth.edu/capideas/magaz...aires-self-made I should have clarified and said some, not all, as generalizations like that are easy to debunk. Oh, the Walton family says hello! I mean taxpayers are practically paying for their gross negligence to their employees and yes they have multiple family members that are multi billionaires! Let that sink in for a minute. If you hide your money in offshore accounts and send jobs overseas, you should not be allowed to sell your products in the USA. Better yet, tax the hell out of the goods coming in to compensate for their cheating. Yeah yeah, they'll just pass the buck to the consumers. Must be nice to be a rich and to rig the game. The little guy can never win.
  5. Glad the Sox didn't give up too much for Lawrie. A's fleeced us on the Samardzija trade last year, this is karma.
  6. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) General ideological opposition to welfare state policies like universal health care and higher taxes especially on the wealthy. I'm sorry but the American dream got flushed down the toilet when those rich cocksuckers started cheating. They got rich off the hard working people of America, they most certainly did not earn all of their billions of dollars.
  7. I've said several times Donald Trump is playing the game to get elected and that he'll probably renege on everything if he gets the nomination. You just can't be fanatical and expect to win the presidency. It just isn't going to happen.
  8. What are some people's beef with Bernie Sanders' policies?
  9. Is it just me or does Lawrie scream mediocre 3B? I don't know about giving up anything significant for him. We can go sign an Asian 3B. Keep the prospects.
  10. QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 04:06 PM) Japan is pretty much on the other side of the planet from San Diego and Chicago. Are there non-stops to Tokyo out of SD? I know there are out of ORD. Not that it matters. If he's coming to the USA he's going to be far from home. Oh and I don't think a Japanese player is going to feel right at home down at Cermak and Wentworth. Not all asians are the same lol. There are a few suburbs that are crawling with Japanese people. You're the racist here.

    QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 03:43 PM) I gave up on the Leftovers after the second episode after the second season. I plan on giving it another shot soon. Didn't have that TDS2 vibe eh?
  12. QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 09:50 PM) Have your read your HR handbooks? People are told to NOT say Merry Christmas. You are not supposed to do it. It's Happy Holidays. If Donald Trump wins, at least it's a victory over the PC police. Also what about all the comments from people who have said their kids are in Winter Plays not Christmas plays. You will NOT see mangers and the story of the nativity in any public school I've been around the last 10 years. WE CANNOT OFFEND ANYBODY nowadays. That's why it's cool Trump is going after Muslims. Somebody has to acknowledge all these DEATHS. Of course not all are bad. Of course we shouldn't be beating up people because they are different from us. BUT WE MUST PROTECT THE USA. Trump is right about that. I'm going on the el tomorrow and telling everyone merry XMAS. I guarantee not one person gets offended.
  13. greg comments like this make me want to punch of an infant. YOU ARE A BLOODY TROLL MATE!
  14. Chicago has a decent size asian population too, nowhere near the west coast but decent.
  15. QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 11:57 AM) Didn't know we won the WS in 2012. That year still pisses me off. The Sox probably do win the world series if they didn't forget how to hit. Good pitching and defense that year.
  16. I'm not really seeing it either. From my experience it seems people are just looking for a reason to get offended for no reason. I still don't understand the starbucks cup fiasco and I consider myself a relatively intelligent person. If you go looking for the trouble, you're bound to find it.
  17. QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 05:58 PM) I find it hard to believe in this gawdforsaken conservative state I NEVER hear Merry Christmas (except at church) and always hear Happy Holidays and you guys who live in big cities claim I'm wrong. The PC police are out big-time over not offending anybody who does not celebrate Christmas. Festivus is a cooler name anyway. It does bum me out that PC has taken over. That's one reason I want Trump to win. This country would be wise to stay far the f*** away from religious zealots in politics and stick to making the country run. America survives because it's a beacon of diversity for all to come and enjoy. The moment this country trots down the theocracy path, it'll be downhill from there. America has become strong because it can nitpick the brightest minds of the world to come here.

    QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 04:09 PM) Totally agree. I love the mindf*** they used for the plot twist in the season finale. Great writing. I just started watching it. It's really trippy and it might not be a simple enough show for people to follow what's going on.

    QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) I stopped watching Homeland after season 2, is it worth picking up again? I didn't tune into season 3 because I heard bad things. Season 3 was pretty bad. Season 1 was awesome and I thought 4 was went well. Season 5 is absolutely great!

    QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Dec 7, 2015 -> 01:27 PM) It's right up there with Season 1. I was a little upset about the whole , but then I read an article from an expert basically saying it's totally legit and not just a Hollywood gimmick. ? They use pretty legit chemistry on the show including how to make the . This is pretty much my world. I don't make weaponized stuff but I make antidotes and other things.

    Seriously, is this not the best season of Homeland yet?
  22. What is this show? Can someone sum it up in a few words?
  23. If you don't think the Blue Wall of Silence had an effect on this case...
