They're predicting Sean May for the Lakers, but I really hope they can get Channing Frye.

Season 4 is like the perfect combination of the storytelling from Season 1 and the twists & turns of Season 3. My favorite is definitely Season 4. What a finale!

Mark it down, RJ. I agree 100%.

I think Miami will have to be carried by Wade, who needs to have a huge series. I would give the edge to Detroit even if Shaq were healthy. The Pistons will collapse on the middle whenever Miami passes into the post. Wade will need to be very aggressive in driving to the hoop, but the Heat will need an outside shooter. But Eddie Jones will fold under the pressure. Pistons in 6. And the Heat's announcer is just as annoying.

Seemed close to me, too. But, Bush was the first candidate since 1988 to win a majority of the vote and almost 60 percent of eligible voters voted, which was the highest number since 1968.

I'll stop you right there. Iraq is not Vietnam.

So, you don't see the importance of a stable democracy in defeating terrorism.

How does the virus get in the petry dish? Do creationists claim that God created all viruses at the beginning of time? Have there been no new viruses EVOLVE into existence during our lifetime? I have no idea. My point was that every sound experiment that helps prove evolution does indeed start with an outside force (the scientist) setting it in motion. You're right but the article you just posted is flawed in that the statement: "...intelligent design, the belief that some aspects of nature are so complicated that they can only be explained as being the work of a creator." I agree with lowercase "intelligent design" as written above. The problem is the nutjobs in Kansas believe in uppercase "Intelligent Design" with all the garbage of 5,000 years old and the like. Yeah, you can count me in here. That's why I hate Science vs. God debates.

How does the virus get in the petry dish?

The biggest thing I gathered from the recap ep was Shannon calling Boone: "God's friggin' gift to humanity." My mind is blown.

3 African popes: Victor I, Miltiades, Gelasius I

Did anyone notice when Boone was on the radio, it sounded like the guy on the other end said: "There was no Oceanic Flight 815."

Get BitTorrent and go here. Thanks a lot man!

Hey...I've been really sick and I missed the last 2 eps. Can I download them somewhere??

Why?

Shaq is inferior in game-closing situations, yes. Webber-bashers say he can't make the big shot. As the #1 option in Sacto he couldn't even take them...now he has an excuse but he's still not taking them.

If they were How-could-AI-be-stupid-enough-to-let-that-loser-Webber-take-the-big-shot bashers, absolutely.

You seriously can't interpret that statement???

Umm....that VALIDATES the Webber-bashing population.

The point is that he would be changing his dress not because of how he feels about his clothes, but to conform to the image that whites want to have about him. The problem is that his clothes are being seen as too black, not by blacks but by whites and saying "hey, why don't you dress less black". If basically telling a person they are to far down on the "black" side of the spectrum what essentially are they telling him to do by doing away with the things that they consider too "black" about him? Didn't say dressing like a thug equals dressing "black". Didn't say Iverson should dress a certain way. A complaint was raised about Iverson being labeled a thug...I pointed out that he literally WEARS that label. He has every right to wear whatever hair style he wants, speak English as poorly as he wants, wear whatever clothing he wants, and tattoo every inch of his body...but he shouldn't be surprised at the reaction he gets, nor should Ripper or YPOV defend him as a victim. He was convicted beyond his HS fight: "August 1997 -- Pleads no contest to gun charge after police near Richmond, Va., pull over a car, in which Iverson is a passenger, and find a gun belonging to Iverson and two marijuana cigarettes. Completes 100 hours of community service, two years of drug testing and three years' probation, after which his record is cleared." Frankly, I'm disappointed that the "this is a black vs. white issue whether you want to admit it or not" card was played. I expected more of you guys. And I didn't expect Ripper to know what every black person thinks. I'll be sure to ask you next time.

I meant "can't do it" as in "isn't allowed to".

How do you dress for work?

So Bush can't do anything Kerry promised? Under your theory, a party should run a candidate with the opposing party's platform and then lose.

Yes...because all black people think cornrows are great and that suits are for white people. If you really have a problem with my previous post...replace "cornrows" with "a hairstyle that is perceived socially to be unprofessional" and "suits and ties" with "clothing that is perceived socially to be professional."

Are you serious? Iverson is many things, well-spoken is not one of them. He's a great player and has quieted down as a citizen, but let's not exaggerate. Re: the "thug" aspect. I agree that he's not an actual thug, and that he can be portrayed negatively. However, Iverson doesn't do very much to counteract that portrayal. Everyone knows that your speech, your clothes, and the way you look have a bearing on your reputation. He has every right to choose to speak the way he wants, dress the way he wants, and tattoo himself up one side and down the other...but negative connotations will be attached to his current images. The way he presents himself is not the way a "torchbearer" should. I don't expect him to laser off all his ink... but if I was convicted of a crime and I knew I was thought of as a thug, I'd stop wearing the cornrows and I'd start dressing in suits and ties. If Kobe went boozing in public and bragging Wilt-style about women he was fucking, I'd criticize him too.
