  1. I guess we are supposed to believe you would have supported invading Afghanistan prior to September 2001.
  2. The F-16 has been in service in the Pakistani Air Force for over twenty years. They currently have about 40 of them.
  3. They serve Easter Bunny? Mmmm, conejito tacos.
  4. Eloquent, and yet still rude and disrespectful (by his own admission previously). It differs from the behavior that led to his monniker in the first place in that he acknowledges it and explains his beliefs with a clarity that separates his statement from the some of the other callous remarks made on the topic. Still, I hope he doesn't try that 'piece of meat' act at a funeral home, lest some of the loved ones of the dearly departed decide to try to split that colossal egg head of his.
  5. You misunderstand me. I never said this was a case of euthanasia, nor did I say my opinion should count as common law. The court system has ruled removing a sustenance device is not euthanasia. But since there are people who believe otherwise, the subject of euthanasia had entered into the discussion and I made my statement on it. Given the circumstances of the legal proceedings, perhaps it is a subject for a separate debate.
  6. Good for your brother, I think I know that priest. Long story short, I guess he figured out he better leave me the f alone. I boarded there, and worked for the janitors/custodial crew every day after school and sometimes on the weekend to help pay tuition. Hated it at first, but it was the best school I ever attended. I wish I had spent all four years there.
  7. I don't think euthanasia will lead to the death of a baby for it's brown eyes - it'll be advances in genetics combined with abortion that will eventually produce that. However, accepting euthanasia as a remedy for suffering will inevitably lead to expansion. When killing is redefined from moral wrong to a beneficient and legal act, it necessitates defining which specific case meets the criteria. Care to guess how many different answers you would get on that? Witness the Dutch for a lesson. Peter Singer, the Princeton University professor that forwards some of the strongest arguments in favor of euthanasia, has clarified at least one aspect of his opinion - his mother, suffering from Alzheimer's, is not subject to euthanasia. But if she were, it would be morally acceptable. At least to him. But she is not.
  8. What a great school. I regret that I only attended it two years.
  9. No kidding. Right now, I'd settle for a Bills win in Pitt or NE.
  10. As I said in another thread (that is remarkably like this one in every way, but good idea starting a new one ), I have no illusions about steroid use in the NFL. Yes, even on the Bills. Haslett had no business naming other players. That shouldn't be so hard to understand.
  11. Give me your snot, your chemical concoctions, your huddled insects yearning to be free... Years of military chow/mess halls, living off the economy in third world countries, I think I can eat virtually anything. Mad-cow disease infected beef, e-coli? Eh, I'll just work it through. The only part of 'Fear Factor' that impresses me is when it involves eating something still moving - that's a psychological barrier that's tough to overcome. Which I've also done. Of course, at this point, I wouldn't go as far as to say my innards are in the best possible condition.
  12. I'm not pretending no one took them. Like I said, the fact that the league started testing for it is enough proof it was an issue. If he had stated it the way you said it - 'the era when he played football, alot of the players took anabolic steroids' - and left it at that, it wouldn't matter. Naming specific people was wrong; he had no business calling out other players.
  13. That story is disturbing for so many reasons, I wouldn't know where to begin. Yikes.
  14. Naming other players, what a crappy thing to do. The fact that the league starting testing for it back then is proof enough you weren't the only one. Let the other players speak for themselves.
  15. Sure they do. Health Care Decisionmaking and Declarations in New York.
  16. Does that have anything to do with the toilet paper shortage?
  17. This is the strength and conditioning coaches have their initial impact. Go get 'em, Brad Roll (and best of luck to Rusty Jones in Chicago).
  18. A look at Gulf coast beaches. The only one I've been to is Clearwater, many years ago. Fort DeSoto Park and Caladesi Island State Park are said to be pretty nice.
  19. Maybe he was dictating it.
  20. And imho people taking similar action is the only positive aspect of this story.
  21. Yes, that outrage. Where for years while the hunt when on, and after the criminal was caught, members of his community were/are absolutely stunned and shocked that someone would do these horrific crimes. The vigils for the victims, the crowds that ventured to the facilities where the subject is held. Many of which who are now bemoaning the fact that he will not be subject to the death penalty. Does that meet your standard?
  22. In every story I've read about it so far.
