  1. Say what you want about Eagles fans, they are suffering like Bills fans, they are passionate about their team,  and BOTH of our stadiums have courts setup in the stadiums...and since the Linc was built and replaced the Vet, it has cut down on the amount of "animals" that attend the games there.

    Thisw is my tack this year. I'm hoping that rooting for another longsuffering fan to be happy will in some strange way make me happy.

     

    I'm just trying something different, because 30 years is long enough to wait.

  2. It's charming that you're trying to force yourself to make lemonaide out of lemons with our situation here, but I'm sure even you see the problem with your argument.

     

    Essentially, you're saying, if we had won Super Bowl XXV and not repeated, you'd have been like, "Well, I'm happy, I guess. But I would have rather went and lost four than to have one just this measly one." Which is just ridiculous.

     

    The Chicago Bears have only won one Super Bowl, and have pretty much sucked since 1985. But they can still at least hang their hats on that. I wouldn't mind having that.

    Exactly.

     

    Fezmid's delusional if he thinks people look back on the Bills as ANYTHING other than CHOKERS. To this day, people use the Bills as the standard by which choking is measured. For good reason.

  3. TWO things that most cigarette smokers HATE:

     

    1. A cigar smoker.

     

    2. Someone who bites their fingernails.

     

    Just an OBSERVATION!!  :lol:  I happen to do both.. tough smokers! :lol:

    Nothing like a nice Macanudo, Punch or Fuente after a steak dinner. Yum.

  4. I completely disagree!!! Our state is a balance of ideas that comes together with tremendous understanding and wisdom that few states have these days. I love its ideals :lol:

    Oh please, I'd be willing to bet that if you took a poll of people living in Bennington whether they considered themselves liberal, moderate or conservative, you'd find that the overwhelming majority consider themselves liberal.

     

    Waiiiiiiitaminute.

     

    I know (knew) a Bills fan who lived in Vermont. Hrm....Could you be him? Are you really....no, it's not possible. Last I saw of him, he had just been beaten silly byt the Erie County Sheriffs.

  5. My congressmen ALL voted NAY for the war... That speaks volumes as to the lack of support my state had for this action.

     

    I didn't bring it up to start... I just cannot believe people question it when legitimate concerns are raised.

    223929[/snapback]

     

    Outside of San Francisco, there is no more liberal a haven than the state of Vermont.

     

    IIRC, did they not elect a socialist governor at one point?

     

    Oh, and I know this as I have relatives who are 20-year residents of Rutland.

  6. A tolerator of Communism??? Fighting AGAINST Communists was toleration? WHAAAAA?  :lol:

     

    Ohhh, you know... Eisenhower met with Communists while in uniform, so I guess HE was a traitor as well.  :lol:

    223899[/snapback]

     

    It's not how he behaved IN THEATER, it's what he did OUT OF THEATER that I'm speaking of.

     

    He met, without authorization, with NVA and Viet Cong officials while in uniform and in the service of his country. That, IMO, makes him a filthy traitor.

     

    And yes, Eisenhower met with Soviet officials....IN AN OFFICIAL CAPACITY.

  7. Well said. The narrow-minded have tried to spread their influence through various channels. RIGHT ON about the hypocrisy... it is scary when the hawks raise up and act the way they do. But what can you say when 52% of the people vote the way they did??? That is undeniable... scary, but undeniable, and it has a lot to do with the weak nature of John Kerry.

    223867[/snapback]

     

    No, it has to do with the fact that Kery was a TRAITOR and met with NVA and Viet Cong members in Paris (suprise) while in UNIFORM!

     

    Kerry was and is a scumbag and a tolerator of Communism.

  8. please don't mix as americans always do the cause of the USA and the cause of freedom.

    223861[/snapback]

     

    Oh, that's right. Because only a citizen of a former COLONIAL POWER would think that the USA's history and orientation is not the cause of freedom. OK.

  9. No my friend, I do not.

    Are you telling us that lifting the ban would hurt you SO much that you would age 20 years? Come now.  :lol:

    Joe, you are a good guy, and a serious MF. Honestly, you are one of the few people from whom I could even begin to dignify such a flimsy stance. THIS is how much respect I have for your service to our country, and you as a person.

    Otoh, you can say what you want about blzrul, but SHE took the correct position on this issue Bro.!!! The decision should rest upon the shoulders of the property owner, not the government (nor the smoker). I hope that deep down, you are not geting "flimsied away," but in any event, I hope to see you at 1/5 this year. I promise to not contaminate you and spoil your health surge by standing too close to you if I am smoking (outdoors).  :lol:

    Oh hogwash I still smoke an occasional cigar. Just have given up the cigarettes.

     

    And as I said, personally I have no problem with people smoking in bars. They still do it here in PA.

     

    It's just nice to occasionally have a beer without the secodnhand smoke, that's all.

     

    SHIITE... have bowling tonight and all sorts of people smoke there.

  10. AD, I work with a person who comes from San Diego. He claims that fans are not allowed to eat, drink nor smoke in the parking lot of the stadium in which the Chargers play.

    Could this be true?

    If that's the case, as much as I want to visit SD for a game, there's NO WAY I'd go there.

  11. "Bad Yanks, Bad.  We know better, we'll tell you what to do."

    I find it better than some english telling you "Good Yanks, you have the worst ideas in the world to fight terrorism so we'll go with you whatever you do!"

    Well at least we know who our friends are.

     

    The French, going back to the "no-flyover to Libya" days under Reagan have been nothing but an obstacle to the cause of freedom.

  12. We wouldn't even BE A NATION if it wasn't for the French!!! WE'd be licking the boots of the English like my Scottish ancestors had to, and my French-Canadian ancestors had to!!! We owe them a large debt for saving us... calling them a has-been nation is not cool. Calling them blind, or ignorant of the facts, or salfish is one thing; but to deride their past is totally unfair! Why do you THINK the Statue of Liberty is there in New York??????? Come on now!

    221667[/snapback]

     

    Yes, well, I like to think that the last 50 years counts more than what happened 200+ years ago.

     

    At least to me it does, and everything coming out of France has been a litany of anti-american posturing. From pulling out of NATO to telling us we couldn't fly-over via Libya, to Iraq. It's all the same. "Bad Yanks, Bad. We know better, we'll tell you what to do."

  13. Yeah, believe me, I know the WW is a left wing vehicle and all that, but it's got some great plotlines this year so far. The focus is on the primary races (the president is finishing his second term), and the Dem. and Rep. nominations are wide open.

     

    The Rep. who will no dount win the nomination is Alan Alda, who plays a 100% honest and forthright politician, who says what he believes, and panders to no special interest. We're clearly supposed to like him, and we do.

     

    On the left are three candidates, two suckups made for TV pander to all interests' types, and one, played by Jimmy Smits, who is trying to be a man of principle, but struggling with the desire to win and compromise that principle. His campaign manager is a former White House staffer who is the devil on his shoulder, but struggling with his own cynicism.

     

    Anyway, the interplay between the pandering and principle is good stuff. Last night, ahead of the Iowa caucuses, all the candidates went to Iowa and had to give a speech to the Corn Growers association in which they said they supported ethanol subsidies. Every candidate thought ethanol subsidies were a waste of money. The two total sell-outs made the speech easily. Smits struggled, but in the end gave in and backed subsidies. Alda's character , despite heavy lobbying from his campaign managers (the wife from Home Improvement and Milton, "please return my stapler" from Office Space), stuck to his principles and criticized ethanol subsidies.

     

    At the end, Alda and Smits have a conversation where Smits confesses that he doesn't support the subsidies, and Alda looks off in disappointment.

     

    Good stuff in an age of gutless middle of the road politics.

    That's rich, Alan Alda playing a Republican.

     

    What's next? Barry Goldwater in an all transvestite review?
