  1. I love the optimism! I surely hope we can beat NE--esp. on national TV.

     

    BUT--and this is coming from an eternal optimist-- I can't recall the last time we won a road game. That is what worries me about this game.

    Yes, I will admit to being concerned about all these things. But I have a "feeling".

     

    You know what I mean?

  2. The Ecstasy, of course, is the Bills upset over the dreaded Jets.

     

    The Agony is the Iggles' sound thrashing by the dreaded Stillers.

     

    Well, I guess you can't have everything!

    Donovan's getting benched on my fantasy squad this week.

     

    1 TD in 2 weeks? PUh-THETIC.

  3. Kelsay has really stepped up. He is turning into the guy we hoped he would be, and makes a nice addition to an already strong defense. The Special Teams have been terrific most of the season. Moorman's punt to the one was one of the biggest plays of the game, it was simply tremendous to plop it down there, right at the one, right at the marker, into the wind, just when we needed it, and directly led to two points on the safety. There are a lot of things to like on this team.

     

    Next week, of course, will be a good indication of how close we are. Moral victories will really mean nothing. We have to win in NE at night on national TV. It doesn't matter if it is pretty, or ugly, or if the refs "just give it to us". We have to win, and soon, those little calls and bounces are going to go our way.

    Write it down. Bills win by 10 next week.

     

    The PAts are susceptibe to the rush, ans Willis is firing on all cylinders.

     

    If...IF...the Bills win this week, we could see them finish as high as 9-7 which would be nothing short of miraculous and a good omen for 2005.

  4. For me, what separates it is pretty clear.  Some people believe that a collection of cells implanted in a female womb is a child (I happen to agree).  Other people believe that a collection of cells in a female womb is a collection of cells in a female womb.  I completely disagree with that, but realize that there *might* be, just *maybe* two different ways of looking at this issue, and refuse to impose MY moral values on people who don't share them.

     

    Reasonable people cannot (and do not) disagree that a 2 month old child isn't a human being.  Reasonable people can (and do) disagree about whether a collection of cells (what I call life) inside a mother's womb is a child, or not.

     

    I think people who have an abortion are going to have alot ot answer for when it comes time to 'meet the maker'.  That doesn't mean that I think that there is no chance that I am wrong.

    Read "The Pre-persons" by Philip K. Dick. It's an eloquent argument against abortion.

  5. Two weeks ago half the people here were saying we'd never win another game this year.  How quickly times change.

     

    Me, I'm still holding hope for the playoffs.

    I think that's a stretch. But 8-8 is a definite possibility, INCLUDING for the first time in umpteen years at least a .500 recrd in division!!!

     

    w00t!!

  6. OMG. Promo and JSP are upbeat. In other news, Hell is out of snow shovels.  :(

     

    Good thinking, lad.  I agree.  <_<

    The Pats beat a suspect STL team today. Any team witha solid D ((us)) could have beaten them today.

     

    I love this D. And I'm starting to really like WM. Travis just didn't have IT.

     

    Roethlisberger has IT. And I think WM has IT too.

  7. But I think the Bills can win this week. NE is starting a WR at CB.

     

    A WR!!

     

    Talk about desperate.

     

    A win this week would move the Bills to 4-5 with4 very winnable games to follow. STL and SEA are not nearly as good as they would seem, Cleveland is beatable and Miami....well....AHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAAAA! Losing to Arizona? I have two words for them: PA-THETIC.

     

    <_<

     

    :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Miami, I love seeing you lose.

     

    ((for all of you in the know, this is my crow-eating post. I'm THRILLED by the performance of WM. THRILLED! And I was wrong to call TD on picking the kid up. I don't know what IT is, but he's got IT.))

  8. Basically an argument I and others have made on the board many times before.  Thank God we have a President with a detailed and realistic energy policy.  Not that an energy policy is as important as critical issues like gay marriage.  Once we get that Constitutional Amendment in place, maybe then he will have the time to come up with an energy policy that deals with the reality that affordable oil is not going to last forever.

    Yet, in further reading on that site, the author has determined that NO solution can or will ever be found to replace oil.

     

    I'm still of the belief that we could stretch out our oil window by moving our entire electrical production to nuclear power.

     

    At that point, we could mandate more electric vehicles until hydrogen became more widely available.

  9. Sorry, I directed that toward MM's "answer," not at you. 

     

    Either way, I'm not sure I agree that the UN has a handle on the situation in the Sudan.

     

    Our church was able to get a couple of young men (now 16 and 19 years old) out of there a few years ago, and they're now really just begining to assimilate in the States.  But the horrors they've described are shocking.  Ben (his Anglo name) and his father were held down and forced to watch his mother and 11 year old sister be raped by 8-12 men.  His father was then shot in the head.  Ben was shot in the chest, but survived long enough to be rescued by an aid worker.

     

    There are millions of evacuees in camps, thousands of men and boys are still being slaughtered, and their women are still being gang raped.  It's a mess.

    All this in the name of Islam. Wonderful religion and further proof that Muslims should be wiped clean from this world.

  10. I'm glad job numbers are up, that's a good sign for all of us. 

     

    But why is it that when job numbers are down, it's "not the president's job to create jobs, it's business' job," yet when numbers are up, the president gets the credit?  I have difficulty reconciling that.

     

    Please don't take this as a shot at the current administration, it's an observation based on GOP & Dem rhetoric over my lifetime.  It seems that, depending on who holds the office, that both sides are equally guilty of this.

    103347[/snapback]

     

    Except for me, I've consistently stated that the President has little or nothing to do with job reation: businesses do.

  11. served in the military??? how long??? what  branch?

    102633[/snapback]

     

    1 tour, 4 years, Army Artillery Corps.

     

    Redleg leads the way!

     

    Had I not been arrested for underage drinking prior to my enlistment, I would have gone to Ft. Huachuca and been trained in Arabic and Interrogation. And probbly, i'd still be in today if I had gotten the job I wanted. I enjoyed being a sodlier, but Combat Arms was the pits.

  12. When did this fact become the fault of the government.  The government didn't give me my stocks. I bought them myself.  With my own money. The money I earned after  working three jobs to get through college so I could have a good, solid source of employment and income so I could take personal accountability for my life.

     

    Tell me why again you bring this point up?

    But...but....FLIGHTSUIT! HALLIBURTON! NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!

  13. The whole POINT of freedom of speech is to allow UNPOPULAR SPEECH. Read that again for effect.

     

     

    So how come it's not OK for a white person to call a black a ni**er?

     

    Oh, OK. Freedom of speech is only allowed when it doesn't hurt feelings.

     

    This is my problem with your statement.
