I wasn't attacking you, I was actually agreeing with you. Though reading it again I could have worded it better then to start with a question.

Does that bill even apply? All I saw under Title VII was to deal with webpages, which for all intents and purposes of this bill are semi-static communications. Whats the definition of a telephone solicitation of a minor? Would an IM be able to fall under that definition?

Know that old saying that every joke has a piece of truth in it? Well, even if it *was* a prank, Foley had to have shown signs that he would be willing and able to be rather perverted for the kids to even think of egging him on. Most 16 year old boys wouldn't be sitting there going, "hmm, I wonder if Congressman Foley likes boys around my age, lemme measure my penis and see what he says"

Yeah, they don't. They both think of the people at the ends as retarded.

With how far right you lean, and putting it into the context of Fox? Yes.

I don't like the whole epiphany thing at the end of most South Park episodes, I find it a bit cheesy. I prefer story-driven writing (like the WoW episode) which doesn't contain that type of stuff. Law & Order style writing. Matt Stone also appeared in Bowling for Columbine, lol. I know Trey Parker has said before that he's a card-carrying libertarian, but Matt Stone has always come off as an old-school Democrat to me, not one of the people who were labeled a Liberal. Overall, South Park has a Libertarian-taste thanks to Trey Parker, but I wouldn't be so sure to say that about Matt Stone or other things they produce besides South Park.

If they did, I'd be really fkin happy!

No, worst 3rd as in 1/3 (2 teams), but yeah, what you said is also true.

Who al makes the playoffs then? SD, Baltimore, NE, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, ?? (By the way, 5th best in the playoffs = worst 3rd)

Remember that only 4 weeks have been played, and also remember that one game (Cincy losing to NE) does not a season make. New England also ran the ball for 133 yards in that game against St. Louis. Don't kid yourself that Indy's running game is as good as it was last years after losing edge. Its not. So far they've ran the ball against NYJ, Jacksonville, Houston, and the Giants. Against the only two run defenses in the top half of the league, NYG and Jax, they had 55 yards and 63 yards respectively. This also magnifies their #30 run defense. They aren't going to win ball control games without extenuating circumstances (such as good ST play vs the Jags). An elite team is one that can win in the playoffs. If they go 14-2, and then lose in the 2nd round of the playoffs after a bye, they aren't an elite team. They are a good team whose offense won them some football games. Jacksonville doesn't have a good offense by any stretch of the imagination. They are a team that relies on their good defense to win them games. Jacksonville is good at picking on teams with small defenses, but when they go up against an average defense, they're outmatched. Currently Jacksonville is 13th/32nd in the NFL on offense. Now, Indy's defense is currently 20th in points allowed in the NFL. Thats in the bottom half of the NFL, and its only good for 11th in the AFC out of 16 teams, which is the bottom 3rd of the AFC. This after going up against the likes of Houston and Jacksonville, both teams with mediocre, at best, offenses. They are also the 3rd worst defense at stopping the run in the NFL. You aren't gonna win many games like that. Wait till Indianapolis meets Baltimore or San Diego, who are giving up 2.6 and 3.3 yards per carry (and in the AFC, mind you). Chicago's running game has a lot to do thus far that teams came into the season playing the run versus them. No one expected Grossman to be ready to play like he has. As defenses have to stay more honest vs them, they'll run better. You saw this vs Seattle, when TJ rushed for 98 yards and 2 TDs, and the Bears as a team rushed for 143 yards. This against the 6th best rushing defense in the NFL, who prior to this game, hadn't let a team get more then 73 yards rushing (even the Giants couldn't break 100 yards rushing on them). One of the lessons I had to learn was that in the NFL, relying on last years records as anything more then a general benchmark is a mistake. A couple small changes can add up to a high impact on records. Remember, Indy hasn't exactly had a hard schedule either. They beat the Giants and barely beat the Jags, which is about on par with Chicago's beating of Minnesota and Seattle. I don't bet money on sports games outside of fantasy stuff (gotta restrict myself - college is expensive lol), but I'd be willing to bet you our signiture lines for the two weeks between the Conference Championships and the Superbowl.

I know. I usually don't as well, but Saw is just awesome if you can put yourself in their shoes.

I doubt it. Thats not a smart political move to put signs up which draw attention to the Foley scandal, it would hurt Charlie Crist, Katherine Harris, (not that the Republican party cares about her) and any Republican candidate on the ballot not named Negron.

Ah. You played SWG too? My sympathies.

Two movies for me this month: Saw III & Man of the Year

rofl, yeah I've always found the term to be somewhat.... whats the appropriate word here... gay? But thats what the community has decided upon. Basically its a character that doesn't level much past level 19 or 29, spends a buttload to get the best gear possible at those levels, and then kills other players in the low level battlegrounds with ease. It seemed kinda fun, and I hadn't done it before now.

Haha. I have a bunch of chars, I keep abandoning them once I hit 60, lol. Two nights ago started a twink with my friend on Duskwood.

Not really much news, eh? Just confirmation that they went judge shopping. I'm interested to hear what the next court which rules on this has to say.

Do you always make this little sense?

I'd disagree that its the smartest show on TV. The plot lines are pretty generic: They make fun of something, the kids get in trouble, then at the end theres some sort of an epiphany. Once in a while there is no epiphany, like in the WoW episode, because the whole episode was about people playing too much. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are both WoW players, and decidedly Democratic (Team America anyone?). What realm do you play on?

Bit drunk last night? Yeah, I think that if JP does seriously disappoint the rest of the way (hope not), we might end up with Matt Schaub.

How about teams with a run defense being better then the Colts? And a running game? Someone like, you know, Chicago? Indy isn't a complete team. They've already shown earlier this year that they aren't. If you aren't good running the ball and stopping the run, you aren't going to go the distance.

Bears 21, Bills 17

I like Stanton, I think he might just possibly end up as the best QB in this draft. That being said, if JP continues his progression the rest of the season as he did the first four weeks, no way we're drafting a QB. I'd have to consider taking Blalock there, as we could really use a tackle to go with Peters.

I personally don't think its a huge deal, but I haven't been following the thread close enough to comment on blz and the others.

I thought it was pretty funny.
