I use personal attacks all the time and don't get banned.

I thought in the buster, it's no holds barred? I think it's easy to get super passionate in this section of Soxtalk. I think a lot of good points are being made too.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 03:55 PM) lmao. I said he was bangin' her. I don't give a f*** if she's a golddigger or not. LMAO that is some funny s***.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 03:48 PM) Coach, win titles and bang this girl. And I didn't say that when he signed with the Heat, either. #JimmyButlerisgoingtobringusatitle Yeah J4L, that girl is not putting out for him.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 03:46 PM) So LeBron, what flavor gatorade do you want? LMAO.

I think a better question would be, what does Spoelstra do?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) I believe he groveled for his life when Gus Fring was going to kill him, though. This.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) He didn't grovel for his life. I see what you mean. Hank doesn't strike me as a person that would do that though. Walt on the other hand, yeah as a matter of fact, he did!

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 11:59 AM) I watched Jane die FWIW she was totally vagina blocking their bromance. She had to go.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 16, 2013 -> 11:41 AM) Just amazing Breaking Bad. Just amazing. Hank went out a man, so that's good. Walt's call to Skyler was brilliant. Only two episodes left. What does that even mean? Dead is dead.

I started locking it because people can't be trusted to keep their nose out of other people's business.

Episode was great! It's a shame that there are only two episodes left. All good things must come to end I suppose.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 13, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) Wow, a paycheck with 43% more money is nice. The salt... it's burning my wound.

Duke you have that good s***, son. Please pass it over!

Burn Notice is over. Weak ending but that's one less show now.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 02:36 PM) Why aren't you in jail then! And all your contemporaries! Hell, I got whooped too. Not often, but often enough you never wanted it again. Somehow I managed to avoid jail for most of my life. it was just back then, if some adult said you were breaking windows or something, your parents believed THEM, and you got in trouble. Now, you can get caught on video and parents will insist that their kid is an angel and that it never happened. LOL at the green text = sarcasm quip that has started here. I'm a firm believer that bad parenting is probably the biggest factor as to why there are so many little s***s running the streets today. Parents try to be their children's friend (or they just straight neglect them) instead of a parent that will get them ready for the real world. Chances are though, most of today's parents did not have those parents so the cycle continues.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 02:14 PM) I know this will be a thread hijack, but all of the best research suggests this is a terrible thing and produces vastly more troubled youth. You're not the only one to bring that to my attention. I think there is organized discipline and reckless discipline. If you just beat your kids senseless of course it'll have negative repercussions. However, my parents when they decided to discipline us, would tell us why it was necessary before doing the deed. Obviously, there is no way to predict how a child will respond to whatever but I'm not sure how elaborate the research is to deal with varying variables.

Tex, I agree with this sentiment. When I was younger, I got my ass whooped when I did wrong. My parents actually cared for me and explained that my actions would have consequences. Some of these troubled youth do not have the luxury of caring parents. Most children, are simply a product of their environment. That's why when I stated earlier that criminal behavior is a product of multiple entities coming together.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 12:08 AM) Oh my god, this may be the greatest parody video I have ever seen. Hahaha, wow. Pure gold.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 04:17 PM) Most Bears fans are Cubs fans too. Plus, Cleveland fans are likely to be Ohio State fans too, which isn't much better (sorry Rock). I would prefer if no one but the White Sox won the Central division, but having been mathematically eliminated for about a week now, we'll just have to wait until next year You are such a negative nancy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 02:56 PM) IIRC, there are WAY more whites in poverty than blacks in terms of total numbers. That's cherry picking. You completely ignored the other factors I listed.

Poverty, a negative atmosphere, and bad parenting... If you mix all these together, what do you get? A criminal breeding environment. If there were as many whites in poverty as blacks along with those other factors, I guarantee the crime rate would be similar. Years of social and economic problems has made the situation what it is. Most importantly, bad decisions by individuals. So no one should be surprised as to who commits crimes and why. I hate when people act obtuse and pretend the problems of this country are so black and white. It's just not that simple.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) If that's an epidemic, white on white crime is a horrible nationwide pandemic. Based on DOJ statistics only about 13% of crimes against whites are done by black people, the overwhelming majority are by other whites. (Link) You should be terrified if you see a white person near you. Did you know they even rig the laws to let crazy people carry guns? What's the stat for White on Black?

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Sep 11, 2013 -> 10:45 AM) I spent the entire episode wondering who the hell the blond kid was. When they first showed him it looked like a flashback to a younger Jax. I'm assuming he's the son of the girl that was shown at the end with Dave Navarro? Also my first (probably wrong) prediction is that Tig doesn't survive the entire season. Yeah, that much was given because you remember the boy kissing him mother or whomever at the beginning before heading out.
