I have changed my mind on the idea of marriage.

Although I have nothing against it and maybe one day I will be, I dont see it the same way anymore along with divorce. I dont believe in the whole "till death do us part" idea and that the commitment means you have to stay together.

I believe people grow and change, sometimes people need to move on and it shouldnt be looked down upon in one bit if done for the right reasons. Marriage is a man made institution, unnatural and benefits society and not the heart. Marriage seems to take on an ownership of a person which seems wrong. I feel like the nature of love gets lost in the idea of marriage.

Please. Scientists can't even come to a consensus on a lot of the data.

Have you seen Inconvient Truth? Facts on that show it all.

So you think the earth is just fine and we shouldnt conserve or preserve? You think chemicals and industry dont effect the environment? Was the ozone thing just a made up thing too?

If global warming isnt true, then why is it a huge focus in our country and planet? I can understand if you dont want to take part in a greener life because you are uncaring, but to deny it is true is too much.

I've changed my mind about global warming. I think the "evidence" is too obfuscated by people with agendas. I think there is truth to it as well as hype to it.

What agendas or hype?

Global warming is real as it gets.

they're done touring for probably 2 years after their Japan shows this week.

 

there's a very slight chance of some Canadian shows this summer, but very slight.

2 years is along time, why? did they mention a long break?

I was seriously considering the 'Roo this year (I am a total festival whore) but this lineup just doesn't do it for me. The headliners aren't anything special, and the middle tier acts will be playing every other festival (or coming through Chicago) this summer.

 

I love Pearl Jam, but I've seen them a million times, and I'd rather see Kanye on the Glow in the Dark tour.

 

And Metallica? Seriously?

 

Eh.

Kinda feel the same way, but they do have some great bands though. Just the big name are weak. I am hoping more get added. At least one big headliner and a few more middle tier names. Would love to see Arcade Fire. I still think I am going.

Metallica???? Why Bonnaroo Why?

Have you heard Jeff's version of Ripple?

Fat Tuesday is better.

The best thing about George Jr. being Prez was that we can say we have Bush and Dick leading the country.

Everyone here enjoying this slushy wintery mix? Lots of snow headed our way, then freezing cold, gotta love Feb.

Plaxico and Amani are lovers.

Eli is short for Elizabeth.

I would say you can discount WP almost entirely, but that's just me.

 

Jay Fiedler had 5/6 winning seasons as the quarterback of the Dolphins. He is alot of things, but he definitely isn't a good quarterback.

 

Some quarterbacks elevate the players around them on offense. Brady, Manning, Marino, et al. But they still don't play defense. I don't see what is so hard to see about this. A team is only as good as it's offense and defense. The quarterback only effects one part of this. Is he the single most important player on the field at any given moment? Probably. But, at best, he controls 50% of a team's ability to win.

I dont know Fielder's stats but just because you have a winnging season doesnt mean that much, you can be 9-7 and have a winning season if thats what u mean and that isnt good. You have to have a high winning percetage and win in big games. I do think offense can effect the defense. A horrible offense can discourage a great defense along with wearing them down. I saw this all season long with the Bears.

The QB still has the most effect on the game than any other one player in the game by far. Reason why Eli Manning got MVP and not the Giants Defense, Defense in my opinion was the true winning factor in the game.

Giving quarterbacks credit for wins and losses is, imo almost as dumb as giving pitchers credit for W/L in baseball. They have a large hand in it, but even the best quarterback influences less than half of a game.

I do think the pitcher and the QB are the most important positions by far in each of the sports. Yeah, its not all them and both are team sports and you need a great overall team to be a winning team. Alot is coaching too, everything plays into it. Still winning is important and a gage to how good a player is. Of course there are some exceptions like Marino, but for the most part, consistent winning is a good measure of talent, just like any other stat you talk about. Cant just discount winning percetage.

FYI, no one said this. Whether you agree or not, Bobbob has always maintained his stance on Brady. This latest game has nothing to do with it.

 

Edit: please correct me if I am wrong here, bobbob.

I think mostly directected to jakobnicholas who I was directing to. Bobbob did always say that about Brady, which he will eventually start seeing differently.

Can you argue with what I said? Regardless of how easy it is or isn't to get this done, this has been the only way people have beaten them in the past few years.

 

I've always felt Brady's been an overrated QB. He's maybe a top 10 of all time for me, but that's mostly because I don't really care about how many Super Bowl winning teams a qb has been on when ranking them. Dan Marino is the greatest quarterback I've ever seen, but he played on some awful teams, so he never won one. How can you blame him for that?

Your plan to shut Manning and Brady down is way too simplistic. It says nothing.

With Brady, forget the superbowls then. Look at any other stat and where he is in his career. A part of being a great player is winning with bad players. Winning is the key.

And Tom Brady, a good quarterback, is OVER-RATED. Funny how, when he's under pressure, he looks average.

3 Superbowl championships, Most TDS in a single season. Perfect 16-0 regular season. Wininng percetage just to be brief.

How can he be overrated? He is one of the best out there. 1 Superbowl loss doesnt bring him down much at all.

Just wanted to say to all the Giants fans that didnt even believe in their own team. You know who you are. I told you so. Always believe.

pps, haven't they already remastered a lot of those, including 'it's too late to stop now'? i swear i remember stickers saying that on most of his 70's/80's cd's when i bought them in the late 90's.

Yes there were already some remastered versions on cd, but most of them have been out of print for awhile now. Now all will be back in print with bonus tracks, which also I agree with you should just be put on a diff disc to perserve original album. I wonder if these new remasters are better than the previous ones. In any case, I had trouble finding some of Van's albums such as Avalon Sunset at a decent price so I am really glad these are coming out. I am finally gonna complete my collection of all his studio albums.

I just saw this movie and liked it. This part cracked me up so hard.

Totally agree with the encore thing. It shouldnt be a planned thing.

The thing that comes into effect is the time limits on certain events. There are hard time limits that a performer needs to stop by. Does the performer play till the very end leaving no possible time for encores?

I didn't want to record the whole show because I was afraid of getting absorbed the camera and not by the show itself. I picked my battles.

I always thought that would be the case for people recording.

Actually I liked Denver and Portland alot. I like mountains too.
