For every "oh s***,why war?" American there is probably an Iranian saying the same thing. Iran's government is bad news. The citizens are probably just trying to get by like Americans.

Do you have money to go to war with Iran? Or are you hoping the US drops MOAB and ends it in one shot? I don't know you and if you have served or not but it seems that people who are biggest cheerleaders for war are the ones that are sitting behind their keyboards. As for your what's popular what's not popular; If you haven't seen the sheer divisiveness stirring up in the US over the past few years than I don't know what to say. People are ready to find a reason to do something stupid and revolt. I believe another war could be the straw that broke the camel's back. IMHO.

I rather not play this hypothetical game. People are tired of this damn politicians making decisions that are vastly unpopular with the majority of people. I have a feeling if we are somehow pushed into another war that the people in this country will lose their cool. Japan might be dependent on the US but the reality of the matter is it'll be away from the ticking time bomb that is the American people.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Feb 1, 2013 -> 01:24 PM) Move to Canada? Nah, Japan. I have permanent residency.

Voted. Best of luck brother.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 06:37 PM) I'll be hightailing it out of the USA if we go into a full-blown war over this. I second this motion.

SOXOBAMA IS GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL.

If you are caught with an illegal gun, you are to be executed on site with say gun.

Anyone need their taxes done?

Japan will win anyway...

An auction style sale is the only way Cuban would ever acquire a team. Personally, I think they should sell every team auction style rather than sale and approval, but it keeps the riff-raff out if nothing else. What beef do you have with Cuban?

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 02:22 PM) You are a condescending know-it-all. See, now did you get banned you looney toon?!?!!?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 12:43 PM) Yeah i don't think she's the hottest thing out there either. Still, that dude is on top of the world at the moment. Didn't do ANYTHING to get there either. Social lottery winner. So unfair. I see what you did there. Did you see his twitter responses? The guy talks like a wangsta... I don't get it.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 11:47 AM) Did everyone enjoy their 2% SS tax "increase" today (this was my first pay period of the year)? Yep I noticed it but it was a tax break so I can't complain about it going back to the original rate.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 12:19 PM) I didn't grow up with the physical attributes to be the starting QB of Alabama's football team, banging an incredibly hot model. SOCIAL INJUSTICE, WHY WON'T SOCIETY MAKE IT EQUAL FOR ME! Off topic but she looks like any other dolled up white chick. My opinion of course.

Trump has no case. Maher was simply attempting to be funny. If Trump couldn't see that, then the folly is on him.

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 12:13 PM) Know what sucks? That I can't respond the way I'd like to cuz you're an "Admin" and you'd ban me. He's just being passive aggressive. The admins don't ban people for being snippy, they ban people who break the forum rules.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 12:13 PM) That really isnt what we were talking about. We were talking about you labeling half their team as stars and them finishing ahead of the Sox. You really need to open your eyes and go back and read what you wrote and what you were talking about. I totally understand the Royals have beaten the Sox the past couple years, but that didnt effect the end result which was the Sox finishing ahead of the Royals in the standings. QFT

QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 11, 2013 -> 12:11 PM) Not that it matters, but most baseball people have the Sox finishing third, behind Detroit and KC in 2013. The so called experts had the Sox losing 90+ games last year too. OOPS!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 01:13 PM) Plus, cooking is/can be an enjoyable activity. This. Something about eating something you slaved over gives me a tingle in my spine.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 01:11 PM) I think we are just doing different math. 40 minutes of time, or even 30 minutes of my time is worth over $50. That means for me to make a meal that takes 30 minutes costs $50 (time I could have been working instead of making food.) Thus there is no way it is ever cheaper for me to make my own food, as opposed to buying it on the way home (5 minutes). The only reason I make food is because it is healthier and I can control what I am being served. Now if you are just saying that the food (by itself no prep etc) costs cheaper at a store, that would probably be close, but it would depend on the way the argument was styled (if it was calorie per $, you still may get more bang for fast food.) But you cant just discount the prep time. Are you serious? 30 minutes of your time is worth over $50? Sounds like you are splitting hairs.
