  1. Excuse me, but those are drone strikes, which are completely different than air strikes. Completely different!!
  2. Let's cover this again, grasshopper. The primary system exists to reduce the number of candidates in the field prior to the party conventions and the general election. You can't make it wide open at this time because of how the system is set up. You'd need a major overhaul of the entire system. And it was John Adams who strongly advised against having political parties.
  3. Is there a difference between what you say at work vs what you say on your own time? Right or wrong, The dynamic has clearly shifted, as Brandon said. In your example, if my pilot said those things over the intercom, he should expect repercussions. If he's throwing back a few at the bar before our flight, which is where he's more likely to be, most of us probably won't care. Schilling had previously been disciplined for insensitive comments, and he should have learned his lesson. He was wrong for what he did. There's another issue at play here, and I kind of hesitate to bring it up. There's a lot of pressure socially for people to be supportive or tolerant of others who live differently (gays, trannies, illegal immigrants, etc.). Failure to also support/tolerate/accept them creates a growing amount of problems for people, and that's at play here in schillings firing.
  4. Those are largely dependent on fan club petitions, not necessarily on accomplishments.
  5. +2, as long as the traffic isn't a problem. privilege vs. right. this is going to get interesting.
  6. reminds me of hawaii 5-0, where it's just the 4 of them that bring down a major link in the drug cartel. rarely, if ever, is there any backup. the 60 mile radius idea made me think of an episode of 24, one of the later seasons, where jack was working in lancaster/palmdale. he got a phone call that told him to get to the ontario airport, and he said he could be there in 20 minutes.
  7. wasn't a huge fan of his music (always thought he was a really weird little dude) but he was an extremely talented musician. always appreciated that he went to new places musically.
  8. After they were warned, Flyers fans continued throwing trash on the ice, forcing officials to call a bench minor against the Flyers. “You’ve done it now,” said an exasperated Lou Nolan. He also said "Way to go" at the end. Excellent work by the PA guy for a group of degenerates.
  9. you can't give up three PP goals and expect to win. that was sloppy and extremely costly. on to game 5. play it like game 3 and you can prepare for game 6. GKG!!!!
  10. problem solved! i think i'll go to INO to celebrate.
  11. the sharks are a very good team. beating them will take everything we've got. that said, STAY OUT OF THE PENALTY BOX, YOU NIMRODS!!!
  12. i'm laughing at you, adam, for not knowing what an APR of 997 and an MBB sporting an APR of 1000 are.
  13. just plant a bunch of dandelions.
  14. flyers stave off elimination tonight, headed back to DC down 3-1. shockingly, flyers fans didn't really do anything remotely asinine tonight.
  15. well, you can make noise here on a baseball message board where no one will really hear you, or you can get involved where you live and try to begin reforming the process there. your choice.
  16. grilled cheese = bitchen fries = not a fan animal style = overrated
  17. thanks, obama! wait, this time that really applies, doesn't it? way to go, barry!
  18. maybe you should get involved with your state's committee/governing body/party and help change the rules.
  19. one of the reasons is to help thin the heard of all the candidates so they can narrow it down to just one or two people.
  20. play your game, boys, and you'll be okay. GKG!!!!
  21. oh, he's not filthy rich, only in the top 5%.
  22. it was a good night, bob. blues take a 3-1 lead over the blackhawks. hope they can close it out on thursday. shaw is a real douche out there most of the time, and it's how he ended the game tonight. not a fan of corey crawford, either. it was a douche move to go after fabri. tampa up 3-1, and pitt up 2-1.
  23. i only know i should wager on Lucky Dan or Bluenote.
  24. was surprised to see his record was 19-3. figured he would have had a lot more fights since espn was describing him as "the face of UFC."
