i heard a guy today saying "so he killed a few dogs - big deal. they were his dogs, he paid for them."
so very sad. the NFL did the right thing here.

how do you like that vintage 16? i have a belair and am thinking about getting a v16.

They do that at Sam's Club also - it does not seem to me that they look very closely.
the wholesale clubs have you sign a membership agreement that allows them to check all receipts. regular stores can't do that.
-
all blanket statement generalizations are always wrong.

Just show the fucking receipt and be on your way. Jesus.
He could call Rev. Al. Sharpton could get things done.

i remember this christian radio station in columbus that always played "hip" christian rock (i.e. - godrock that blatantly ripped off specific secular bands). it was a game for us to "christianize" the secular victim band name. so the song would come on that sounded like the mighty mighty bosstones, which then became the holy holy crosstones, etc. that made bad christian rock fun. this sort of thing is just kinda scary. it looks more in place in iran than the US.

i use it to grab tv shows. no problem so far.

i'd prefer to have congress amend the war powers act so that the president cannot deploy troops in combat operations overseas for longer than 14 days without declaring war.

this is a multi-million dollar punishment, and it's well deserved. i hope the judge stipulates he's not to own or possess any domesticated animals ever again. this guy shouldn't be allowed to buy a goldfish.

i thought the aggressive marketing was rush limbaugh's radio show.

my limited knowledge base says that the new macs with the intel chip actually allows you load windows software on them so you don't need the emulators anymore. i don't even think you need to shut down and do the duel boot thing. I'm sure someone smarter can tell us the truth though.
you are correct. go to apple.com and look for boot camp for more details.

you switched at exactly the right moment.

i guess the moral to this story is don't break the law if you're not closely tied to the president. i guess there is still some form of justice for americans.

so our population isn't larger than it was in the late teens and early 20s?
our population is MUCH larger, which is why immigrants are even less needed for the jobs that aren't here anymore. labor unions (which i tend to support) were quite adamantly racist and xenophobic with their protectionism. now that constituency of the democratic party's value has been moved to the social conservative's platform for security reasons. it's nearly the same thing.

I think there has to be a better,easier (probably cheaper), and LEGAL way for decent and hard-working people and families to come here.
you're right, there is and there should be a way implemented. however, as long as people are profitable it is not going to change. mexicans and central americans who slip in illegally are employed at starvation wages (often, not always) and have no legal recourse. unethical employers take advantage of these people in many ways (see the fictionalized film BREAD AND ROSES if you haven't). big business loves illegal labor. the depressed wages in their home countries is just as beneficial to american corporations. if you want an interesting read, check out what coca-cola's labor record looks like in honduras.

i saw a mexican-american immigration activist in LA saying that he didn't cross the border, the border crossed his great grandfather. i thought that was a clever argument.
this issue kinda comes down to penicillin and steel. when the us was manufacturing and growing, we needed people. after WWI and medical advances, our population exploded and we needed far less immigrants. additionally, the xenophobic hysteria of the late teens and early 20s really put up fences to immigration at a time when immigration became less necessary. we've never seen the need to lift these barriers, especially for the poor, tired, huddled masses yearning to breathe free. especially since we no longer have the heavy manufacturing base that required so much labor.

i'd post a YSI link here if any moderator will weigh in and give permission. the record was never commercially released and i've got a digitally remastered version on my machine.

os9 to osx was a HUGE switch, too. i really hated os9. i used it grudgingly. osx is so nice. not having to reboot when you install any software is nice.

A game that is marketed and sold to the casual fan is a different kind of game than the type of game that a die-hard fan may want to see. And it's why I prefer college to NBA.
well said. i don't like basketball at all, but i do love minor league baseball and hockey for exactly the reason posted my mattz.

if you are getting a new mac, i'd strongly suggest one of the new imacs. that's apple's best bang for the buck. the macbooks are alright (that's what i have), but you get more computer for your money with the imac.

imho, this is microsoft throwing down the gauntlet to you windows users and begging you to do something about it. i guess when you have something in the ballpark of 90% of personal computers running your OS, you can be ballsy and ask people to pay a lot of cash for a piece of shit.

That's kind of discounting a lot of what they did around WWI in violating the Comstock laws and disseminating information about contraception. If you wanted to go for a base attack, why not just go after Margret Sanger's eugenics positions? At least that would be more fair to the scope of the group. Abortion is a small part of Planned Parenthood. At one time, building a master race was a larger part.
