Where's Selmon?

It's funny how many similarities there are between Stevie and Chad.

He's "mentioned in the same breath" as Peters because that's who he's replacing for the 2nd time. It's a relevant piece of information. http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/article-1/Eagles-Fortify-Tackle-Spot-With-Bell/0ea3f634-a34b-4e2d-96ab-27331d794098 And the way that article is worded, it seems as though Bell changed his name back to what it says on his birth certificate. At least, that's the impression I get.

Not only talking about the people linked to in this thread, but I see this sentiment a lot. Where's the line between hating America and wanting to change it?

Yeah, but let's see him do it drunk.

The traditional 4th of July drinking schedule... Johnny Walker [Red], [White] Wine, and [blue] Moon

"OH GOD, IT'S A COP! DID HE SEE ME DRIVING?"

I guess I don't personally identify with being proud of any inherent quality. But I know plenty of people who are proud of their heritage, for example. Irish American guys running around in their leprechaun costumes on St. Patty's Day don't (typically) hurt anybody. Of course, they didn't do anything to make their grandparents Irish. They were born with it. It doesn't have to be logical.

The line should be wherever other people are egregiously harmed by the behavior. Gay marriage doesn't qualify, neither does consensual sodomy.

Which one of our sarcasm meters is broken? For the record, I was just trying to make a joke on the "pride in blue eyes" thing.

Bah, jokes don't count.

Seems reasonable. And yet, we're not great at empathy when it comes to stuff on the road. I've accidentally cut people off a couple times, but when it happens to me I don't say "Oh, I've done that before, it's ok, I hope that guy has a nice day."

I'm inclined to say yes, but it seems like something bad happened once when people were TOO proud of their blue eyes.

Some people are criminals and inherently bad. And some people are raised by their parents and mentors with the message that homosexuals are threatening to the American way of life. You don't see how specific hatred gives way to crime? Not to hyperbolize, but doesn't national identity fall under your definition of exclusivity? I mean, we're human beings, we put labels on things. That's not going to stop. The goal isn't to stop noticing differences, it's to stop fearing them.

If you want to be. "Pride" isn't some exclusive club that homosexuals are part of. Loads of people on this very board are vocally proud to be American, proud New Yorkers, proud Buffalonians, proud parents, etc. The word doesn't need to imply an accomplishment.

Why does gay pride need justification?

Don't look in the box. There's a dead cat in there. Or a really pissed off cat.

It's funny. Everybody agrees that most of the other drivers on the road are horrible, and we all have the same gripes about the hypothetical "other". But you never seem to meet the terrible drivers.

Anybody see Ted? Here's my review... http://www.entertainment-bureau.com/ted-review-reviewsday-tuesday/2286 Much better than I expected.

In other news, Woody Allen reveals he's Jewish.

Now, think...what if the known universe is just a quark in an infinitely larger physical reality? INCEPTION

Not judging, but as a hip hop fan it was pretty meh. Props on the analogy though, made me laugh.

Chronic back issues for a guy his size...regardless of on-field performance, he'd be smart to walk away from the game.

Meh, who knows? But check out the private webcam. Hopefully Bertha's finished with her sandwich now.

Actually we've had them for a while, but they're mostly girls who didn't get callbacks for the Jills. So we prefer to keep it under wraps.
