  1. exact. That's the problem in modern organised youth sports: adults.
  2. But with the UB Bulls slowly becoming a competitive team in the MAC, don't you think it's probably more interesting to go to their home opener tomorrow than to go to the Bills preseason game? (by the way who's responsible for this stupid scheduling with both games at the same time?!!)
  3. Does it say if the Bills will make the playoffs?
  4. whaou the real estate market is really gonna CRASH if everybody waits to be sure to face any kind of events happening to themselves or their children before buying a house!
  5. yeah right change the issue so you can avoid facing it. I have a good friend living in WNY. College graduate, smart, energic girl. She has a 6 years old girl. A few years ago she 's started her own business. It was starting to go fine. Then her husband has started to fooling around, becoming aggresive, even violent. She quit him. The guy does not want to divorce he starts to harrass here. Even try to take her daughter, she has to call the cops a few times, some crazy stuff for a few months. Have to go to court, win the trial, the guy has to stay something like 5 miles from her house , goes to jail a couple of months. But all this was not priceless for her... Lot of time lost, lot of stress, she lost some of her best customers and well with a probable link to all that stuff she gets cancer. With the business not going too good, time passed for treatments at the hospital not helping it, medical bills starting to come (what kind of private insurance do you think you can afford when you start your own business?) she has had to sell her flat and is now back at her parents'. The girl is working like a fool to recover her lost customers even if that may put in jeopardy her recovery. And of course there's her daughter to take care of. Don't you think a little of public help is too much to ask when you're living in a rich country like the USA and facing that kind of events?
  6. You know it's not the point. You know millions of americans can not afford even basic medical care and those millions are not all stupid irresponsible people, most of them are just poor, lot of them working poor.
  7. i just wish you and "stupidnation" will never need to pay for heavy medical costs for you or your family because i know that with the no "safety net" system you have currently in the US, any kind of serious medical problem can become a financial disaster ... I agree everybody should be able to enjoy the fruits of his hardwork but i don't think anybody should sell his house because his son has cancer...
  8. Serious Bills fans have only one way to get real good Bills coverage: They come here!
  9. Thanks for the link TPS.
  10. Ho man... Just reading "Rich in Ohio" i 've slammed my fist on my desk ... instinctive memory of my body i guess...
  11. we know! Wacka loves interleague play!
  12. first my name is OlivIer second the USA is the only country i know where i'm "on the left".
  13. Basic health insurance = Slavery?!!! Wahou! Now THAT's a reach!
  14. cool he's your hero, fine. I've never liked the guy, with his wacko wife and his non stop "God GOd GOD" gospel . And i consider he's one of the least talented NFL MVP ever.
  15. Actually any person who lived in the NO area before Katrina knows nobody is to blame more than any anybody else as they ALL KNEW. When i passed a week in NO two years before Katrina i've heard several times locals explaining me the town would be completly flooded if the "right" hurricane came and that there was nothing really planned to avoid/ face it. It was in fact the way a lot of locals were explaining the special atmosphere of the town to visitors "we party like that because we know there may be no tomorrow for this town!"
  16. LOL i was about to make the same post when i saw yours!
  17. i did not say he is NOT underrated, in fact he may be... but after all those years when he has been called the "second coming " running the best system you can dream of if you're a NFL QB, well it's nice to see the balance has gone the opposite way...
  18. i never ever imagined i would read that sentence one day! Warner has been the more overrated player in the NFL for most of his career!!!
  19. if Hell is free of religious wackos, it sure will be a better place to pass eternity than Paradise!
  20. It's your right to think it's OK to have millions of poors with no basic health insurance in the richest country of the world, it's his right to think it is not tolerable. Just like it's his right not to help a person he does not think he should.
  21. Nothing to be proud of IMO.... (and it's the same for french politics)
  22. Well went twice in Del and it looks much more a part of the Philly metro area than a suburb of DC...
  23. it's a totally personnal issue. He does what he wants with his family.
  24. Don't know much about Biden, but from what i hear here and elsewhere that does not look like a bad choice: The only thing republicans seem to find to attack him is that he's a friend of MacCain!
  25. never heard of them... But they shoud!
