  1. I feel for the guy. When the demons tell you to do something, what choice do you really have?
  2. If I might ask...why? Don't get me wrong, I'm more impressed by the physical talents of a professional tennis player than a professional golfer. But why worry about semantics so much? By your own definition, you'd have to knock Boxing, MMA and wrestling off the list. They require agility but not pure speed (unless you're a cowardly boxer or wrestler and you want to run away) .
  3. Wow, more info than I expected. Thanks, Tom. Podunkasaki
  4. Here's a question I have about the dropping of the bombs on Japan...maybe one of the true history buffs here can answer... Couldn't we have first dropped an atomic bomb on a more remote rural area of Japan, instead of a city? Wouldn't that have demonstrated the power of the weapon AND our willingness to use it without the loss of so much civilian life? I mean, I assume Japan's motivation to surrender wasn't so much the loss of life as much as the fear that we had 1,000 more atomic bombs and weren't afraid to use them.
  5. It's guys like YOU MICKEY
  6. Of course, if Whitner said this we'd all tell him to shut up.
  7. Ah, Gordon...brilliant stuff. But he's not Art...this is
  8. Ok, then your opinion is meaningless too. So if everybody's opinion is meaningless, can all of this please stop now?
  9. And by the way, dude...nobody is criticizing you for liking this band. Everybody has different tastes and maybe XTC just speaks to you in a way that others don't see. I have some favorite artists that most people can't stand. But you're no better than a religious converter, trying to ram this music down peoples' throats and insinuating that they're either stupid or misinformed if they don't like XTC. Get over yourself.
  10. I can tell ya one thing... Green Day >>> XTC
  11. Sometimes your words just hypnotize me.
  12. Scratch that...THIS is the best one http://www.theonion.com/content/video/nfl_...mentor_troubled special appearance by Keith Ellison!
  13. Of course it's funny, always great stuff from the Onion, especially Onion Sports. I just didn't bother responding because I'd already seen that one. my favorite one...... http://www.theonion.com/content/video/fata...center_collapse
  14. Yeah, David Wells' career was really limited by his inability to run the bases for the two seasons that he played with the Padres. You're correct that putting golf on the same level as football is ridiculous. But also ridiculous is putting golf on the same level as Poker. It's not like it requires zero athletic talent. Strength, accuracy, steadiness, soft hands, etc.
  15. Disappointing premiere, if you ask me. Poorly written and poorly acted, compared to the standards we're accustomed to.
  16. No. Unfortunately, I got dragged to it. Just do a google image search of Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, and you'll save yourself the $5 it costs to rent.
  17. They have a few quality wins on the schedule so far...Pittsburgh, Washington, a couple against NJ, Chicago, Detroit to name a few...mostly though, they've been feeding on the detritus of the Eastern Conference (and there's A LOT of detritus this year in that conference). I think they're a few pieces away from a Stanley Cup bid, but who knows what could happen if they get hot during the playoffs? A lot will depend on if they're able to hold off Ottawa from stealing first place in the Northeast Division.
  18. No, unfortunately I don't think we will.
  19. More accurately, Peyton Manning is Peyton Manning's QB Coach. Frank Reich must have the easiest job in football..."That's right Peyton, just keep doing what you're doing."
  20. Yeah, anybody who doesn't share your sense of humor must be an idiot. I actually thought a couple were pretty funny...on a related note, here's a link to my favorite online comic strip. This could've been the next Gary Larson, but he quit about a year ago... http://pbfcomics.com/
  21. Yeesh, the plot of a book isn't usually meant to be taken at face value. Did you hate The Godfather because Michael turns into a jerk?
  22. Ok I must have misunderstood this. I inferred that your company would fire you if you were to reveal your condition.
  23. You know what? Maybe my "I'm young and therefore know everything" approach doesn't jive. I admit that I've been foolishly stubborn in the past, regarding issues on which I lack perspective. I try my best not to do this, but in my own stupidity I often come up short. But your "You're young and can't possibly understand this" opinion is equally ignorant. You make enormous assumptions about me. One might say you lack perspective.
  24. Maybe not for you. Maybe other people in your situation (whatever it is), would enjoy the ability to identify themselves to others as bipolar without fear of repercussion. So long as a person's condition does not negatively alter their ability to perform a job, or somehow put themself or others at unnecessary risk...why should their position be terminated?
  25. You're bipolar but it doesn't affect your performance at work? I'd definitely argue you should be allowed to be "openly bipolar", if that's the case.
