  1. Now, as I have stated before, huge parts of each party were reversed, creating a new alignment with the same party names.

    Not unlike what is happening currently.

     

    Frederick Douglass could not live in this era... the complete degradation of civility and reason would shock him.

     

    Douglass wouldn't be shocked, and I think he'd tinker along just fine being civil and intelligent hisownself. In exactly what era of human history did we have civility and reason? The test is if its practitioners outnumbered or outgunned the baseness of the rest of society.

  2. I know it is true. So does everyone else.  Your dramatic impact with pseudo-vulgarity was not necessary.

    This is hardly the most "pseudo-vulgar" thing that's graced over the TBD bricks. Nary an hour ago on the main board:

     

    he was too busy eating/coating himself with greasy food and masterbating with his gold telestrater pen and screaming tom brady's name over and over again...

     

    Let me guess, you're one of those people who blushes when they say "erection" on those Cialis ads?

     

    How dare I speak about systemic problems in our churches when it's clearly the Islamics who we're forming the posse over in this thread, b/c their systemic failure is the only one we're going to point out, nevermind that there's three fingers pointing back at us. How many Hail Marys and Our Fathers have I racked up so far?

  3. Just a passing thought from a fan who desperately wants the Bills to get back into the first round.

    I'm not averse to amassing two or three second- or third-round picks by trading Henry and your JJ scenario.

     

    Why pay first-round money for, what any other year, would be second-round talent?

     

    Only reason why I might want to get a first would be if Nugent's stock goes up and other teams start drooling over him.

  4. That is indeed a terrible thing, but your analogy is lacking.

    Right. Well, if the pedophelia epidemic isn't enough for you, try reading "Hitler's Pope" and then pretend that the same structure isn't there. Never mind the library of other monstrocities the leadership has endorsed or swept under the rug. The largest landowning entity in the WORLD, and they can't afford a settlement that will provide pysch. care to their victims?

     

    I erased your quote from my reply. It was disgusting and you didn't need to go that far to make your point. Please try to use some tact in the future.

    215984[/snapback]

     

    It is disgusting. It is also true. But don't bother yourself with that detail. Sorry, you can get back to talking about whippings, stonings, beheadings and the like. :devil:

  5. I can live with that.

     

    Look...is it all that unreasonable to believe that people who aren't singers shouldn't masquerade as such, and that disabled people shouldn't be exploited or coddled simply because they're "special"?

    What if it was a Make-A-Wish thing?

  6. The point is that this would be like Catholics killing a boy for eating meat on Friday during Lent or something similar.

    215358[/snapback]

     

    How about a Catholic that makes a boy suck on his penis, and the leadership's refusal to accept any semblance of resonsibility for shuffling pedophiles below the radar of police involvement and directly leading to that boy's suicide 20 years later?

     

    But Islam is just as much a 'religion of peace' as any other religion.

    215358[/snapback]

     

    Implicit here is that no religion is peaceful. It establishes a group of believers who form a looooooong list of grievances in their text. They can then feel morally superior when they have run-ins with the Other.

  7. Actually, stutterers are perfectly fluent when they sing. Usually when speaking in unison as well.

     

    Sorry, just had a DC Tom moment.

    215641[/snapback]

     

    I was talking about non-stutterers who stutter-sing, by drawing out a syllable and breaking their voice in between short segments for 20 seconds.

     

    If what you say is true, why couldn't Ken sing out 'Cathcart Towers Hotel' in "A Fish Called Wanda"? :devil:

  8. I think it was something that a player had to actually get an Rx to be allowed to wear a tinted visor. Like if they get headaches from bright sun or somesuch.

     

    IIRC, it was instituted so fans could see/"connect" with the players. Even tho they introduced a penalty if a player takes his helmet off on the field....

     

    Then again, this is the NFL we're discussing, where a fumble is a fumble. Unless it's not. :devil:

  9. You were all drinking heavily during the first game, weren't you?  That was horrible...not nearly as bad as the kid in the Eagles game, naturally, but putrid nevertheless...

    215579[/snapback]

     

    Mmm. Why are people so impressed with stutter-singing?

     

    And the land of the <awkward pause> Braay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-a-a--ay-ay-ay-a-a-a-ave.

     

    Started with Whitney Houston in the '91 Super Bowl and now they all sing in a way that calls attention to themselves rather than the lyric. Moved into regular music too. I hate it. Carry the note ala Jeff Buckley or cut it off.

     

    No offense to the girl, she's just mimicing all the others who have nice voices but have no connection with what they're singing.

  10. I don't know if this story is true because I did not personally see it, but a friend told me it happened.

     

    Johnny, iinterviewing  a professional golfters wife ( if Iremember correctly it was either Mrs Nicholas or Mrs Palmer). "Do you do anything to bring him luck"

     

    Mrs ??? " Yes before every match I kiss his balls"

     

    Johnny -- You get the Johnny look.  That look was enough to make it hilarious if it wasn't already.

    215321[/snapback]

     

    :devil: That look! A cross b/w Innocent choirboy, "Hey, you said it!" and "I hope the censors don't axe us."

     

    Gumbo.

     

    We're the Fucawi! --- The funniest thing was the screen just went black a second after he said it. All it took in any show after that was him raising his hand to his brow. The NBC censors made that joke into so much more than it ever would have been otherwise.

     

    You were the best, Johnny.
