Boon

Tell that to the thousands upon thousands of people who sit in seats along the walls in ballparks every year. The allure of the ball is enough to make someone reach for it. For the record- I'm sure he was fucking with Sheffield, and I still say Sheff shouldn't have reacted like that. The Sports Guy can come along and say whatever he wants- comparing the average Joe to someone who makes millions a year isn't gonna fly in my book. Should the drunk guy have gone after him? Absolutely not. But for the amount of money that he gets paid to play baseball, he needs to be able to deal with getting yelled at for a few hours and not let his roid rage get the best of him IF something like that happens. It's not like he's unaware of the fact that Red Sox fans dislike him and are going to be shitfaced assholes at the games. You deal with it because at the end of a day's work, it's those shitfaced assholes all over the country that make ball players millionaires. Oh- and comparing this to the Pacers/Pistons melee is beyond laughable.

Agreed, it's not such a big deal, and ESPN will have moved on to other topics by the weekend, but the dude did take a swipe at Sheff. Not super agressive, but he was trying to interfere, and there's no way you can defend him by saying "he was going for the ball" like some people in this thread have. That's bullshit. I agree with this. On top of that, to say that Sheff should be fined/suspended is downright ridiculous. I'd wager that 90% of the players in baseball would have done the same thing he did. Intentional or not he got hit, or at least swung at, from his point of view. Drunk Boston Fan has NO BUSINESS ON THE FIELD OF PLAY. When are people going to understand that. Your ticket to the game does NOT give you the right to interfere with the game, nor does it give you the right to ever EVER touch a player before, during, or after a ball game. Drunk Boston Fan should not be allowed back into a MLB stadium EVER AGAIN. Listen- the fan got ejected, his season ticks will probably be revoked and that will be the end of it. He'll pay his dues. Sheffield should not have gone after the guy, whether it was justified or not. I'm not saying suspend the guy, but for Christ's sake, slap him on the wrist. You can look at any stadium at any point during the year throughout the season- a ball hit long the wall, people are going to try and reach for it. It happens EVERYWHERE. It's not like he hopped onto the field and slapped Sheffield in the face. Personally, for the millions of dollars that ball players get paid, I like to see them get mixed up with the fans every now and then. Get your money's worth. This is fucking lame. I don't even watch ESPN, and I'm getting sick of their coverage of this whole thing.

Fuck that. Red Sox fans started a Yankees Suck chant at a Raw taping in Boston b/c some guy in the crowd was wearing a Yankees hat. It doesn't take much to get us going.

It was more relevant to the discussion of driver's licenses and ID. Shouldn't have quoted you.

Hillary's new bill- The "Count Every Vote Act" or whatever it's called.

Homemade chicken fingers and chicken parm are about the only real, unique foods that I can make.

I find it rather amusing, actually.

I really enjoyed when HHH feuded with Kurt Angle.

1876- Tilden/Hayes 1888- Cleveland/Harrison 2000- Bush/Gore I count three- what's the fourth time? Besides the fact that the electoral college has only been around for 36 elections, not 43. So by my numbers its 3/36, or about 8% of elections. Edit: These numbers might be off, I'm double checking them now. Per the founding fathers: -Election by state gov'ts was ruled undemocratic. -Direct election was shot down by the founding fathers b/c they felt the public was ill-suited to pick their leader. -Committee of Congress was ruled undemocratic. -All of Congress votes- violates separation of powers. So they set us up w/ the electoral college. You have other election problems not b/c of the electoral college, e.g. 1796 and 1800. Strengths of the electoral college: -Always produces a President -Supports two party system (which you may or may not approve of) -Supports federalism In popular vote, you still have big state campaigning, even moreso then now. Candidates absolutely forget about Delaware, Rhode Island, etc. It would also promote a multi-party system- if you think it's bad that we don't have a majority now, imagine what another Ross Perot would do to the count (take 20% away from the Dems and Repubs and then listen to the bitching about how theres no majority.) If you want election reform, I'd suggest either the District Plan (electoral votes separated by Congressional districts) or the Nat'l Bonus plan, where there are "bonus electoral votes" for winning the popular vote.

CNN.com is reporting that the Pope has received his last rites. Shouldn't be long now.

All Smackdown really needs is Brock Lesnar.

That's the argument I've heard in favor of file-sharing. If the material is good enough, people will stay pay for it. Not uncommon- I still buy DVDs all the time, when I could easily copy my own.

Edit: After reading some more, RJ's explanation about the second draft of V would answer my question.

I've never understood what people had ever seen in her. When she didn't have huge tits, she was sporting that belly. Now she's got those saggy, disgusting things covering up her stomach. Not to mention that ugly mug she calls a face. She is by far the least attractive woman in the WWE, IMO. HHH sure knows how to pick 'em.

I'd just like to say that I had this professor before he moved to Florida, and he was fuck-head then. That is all.

Sorry- I had him in high school math, not as a college prof. This was back before he moved to Florida- he was teaching in New Hampshire.

I'm hoping it will be for the IC title, so here is my prediction for the competitors. Jericho Benjamin Christian Edge Snitsky Kane Also possible: Maven, Hassan Thoughts?

I just buy it for the articles.

Aye. I guess I never noticed it before, b/c usually the remarks are sprinkled in between a lot of "Mike's a crazy fucking conservative and there he goes again," remarks. But I do see what you mean. Maybe everyone loves Mike after all?! Like when HHH gets face pops at live shows! I guess people just appreciate what he brings to the table, agree or disagree. Kotz- I think that the technology they most oppose is stuff that directly conflicts with their ideology, e.g. stem cell research and its ties to abortion, cloning and its ties to playing God. I assume that if the technology is supporting their ideology, e.g. a feeding tube supporting right to life, they're okay with it. Yeah, it's pretty hypocritical, but that's one in a line of many hypocritical actions taken by political activists, ideology be damned.

That was the entire point of my post... Everyone's silent b/c they haven't read that very lengthy post. And I really hope that you're not suggesting that "we people" are defending Mike, b/c that guy gets flamed more then anyone on this board. Guy has like two people who agree with him on any given topic. Besides, I'm the only one who has made any comment about it. And you have to admit, it was a pretty ridiculous way to end an otherwise thorough argument. Tons of us add nice little tags to piss off each other, but I don't need to read two paragraphs of Deadbolt waving his dick around back at Mike. ANYWAY At least now they can argue for a few more days about what to do with her body.

I think all Tarantino was direct one scene. Somehow I don't think he had enough stroke to make it out of order.

The only thing I enjoyed from the preview is Drey Barrymore getting hit in the face by a foul ball. To me, this is just another Celtic Pride. Fortunately, I won't be wasting my time on this piece of crap. And that's from a Sox fan in Boston.

Must your post include so much arrogance and sarcasm? As valid as your points are, people don't respect you when you cover valid political argument with so much pompous, useless clutter. For example- Frankly, you're no better at keeping your emotions in check then MikeSC, so you can drop this "I won't bother wasting my time" act b/c frankly, you come off as a complete jackass, as well.

I just say this French movie titled, La Haine (Hate), and I'm looking for the quote at the end. Does anybody know where to find original quotes from foreign films?
