I've gotta say that your crusade about this topic is one for the ages.

And he actually SANG LIVE!

Don't ever disrespect the talented Paul McCartney by thinking GNR is in the same league. GNR blows.

I graduated in 1990.

LOTR by far. Lucas was probably shaking in a corner watching those because he finally realized how a REAL trilogy should be done. I'm a huge SW fan, but Jedi was a complete POS. Ewoks sucked, and the story blew. Wow, another death star? How creative! Additionally, Lucas got much of his general theme from LOTR.

Dude - not true. I love Indiana Jones, but the Temple of Doom was one of the worst POS movies of all time.

Ugh. I still don't understand how getting THAT drunk is fun.

I bet they start taxing people that don't pick up their dog poop. I bet taxing plastic bags will create a huge problem with dog poop on their streets.

I have yet to see how this is legal. How the hell can you fire someone who is stupid enough to smoke? It doesn't make sense, unless someone signs a contract WHEN THEY ARE HIRED indicating that they won't smoke. I think smoking is stupid, and everyone who smokes should quit. I also think the ill effects of smoking causes everyone's insurance costs to go up. But I don't see how this is fair for people who allready worked at this place. On the other hand, a company should be able to hire and fire whoever they want,. especially if it enables them to remain competitive. That's freedom for you. I like freedom.

Are you insane? Really, this is a really bad idea.

Well, yeah. The smiths, cure, morrisey, etc didn't really come around until the early 80s, but in high school I knew lots of people who into those bands.

The Zen is still a good product, don't get me wrong.

I think UMASS has a stronger groove. Planet of Sound is all in your face, which is also good. Tough call is right. I feel bad for people who haven't had the luxury of being exposed to music that isn't played on the radio. I'm convinced that the reason people are so obsessed with the same groups is that they just haven't heard much else.

How fair is that? Whenever my wife brings another girl home, I always get to join in.

I considered it because of price, but my 20 gig Ipod is far superior. And the interface is better. And the industrial design is better.

I can't pick just one: 1. fitted shirt, the - Spoon 2. mogwai fear satan - Mogwai 3. ocean - sebadoh 4. the national anthem - radiohead and quite possibly the most rocking song of all time: 5. UMASS - Pixies I have a playlist on my Ipod with songs that "rock me hard."

Rock & Roll McDonalds (repeat, repeat, repeat) RIP Wesley.

I would like the guy's talent on our team, however you shouldn't mention Abraham and Smith in the same paragraph.

You keep harping on this Kendall guy, yet that is ONE example. There are many more examples of where TD made good moves. It's time you buck up and give more examples of TD being a tightwad.

Not true. Donahoe has spent lots of money on good players. Moulds, Takeo, Fletcher, etc. Saying that he is cheap is just silly. It's beyong being wrong, it's just silly.

Yeah, Bledsoe was brutal, but so was the rest of the team. I expect more heads will roll than just Bledsoe. Bledsoe didn't step up when the rest of the team needed him most. We need a QB who will do that.

So I'm selfish? Are you actually going to judge my entire economic opinions and personal worth on the merit of one post? You're trying to discredit my opinions, which is fine, but don't think that I feel that material goods are the be all and end all. Truth is you know very little about my thoughts, and whether or not I am materialistic. I've made certain decisions regarding my profession that might lead you to think that I am most certainly not materialistic or selfish! However, by making those decisions it's important that I don't throw $$ away on crap products. And by doing so, I can also tell the American auto industry that there is still work to be done before I return as a customer, which is actually doing them a favor. I am reflecting on the future, just not in a way that is equivalent to charity.

That's great. I buy what benefits ME. It's my money. I earned it, and I get to choose how I spend it. Buying a car is not charity for US auto workers, and doing so would be an injustice to our way of life. There is no viable reason to buy an inferior product. I tried to do it, but found it strained my car maintenance budget too much. I prefer to take the macro view of things. In a capitalistic society, if people don't buy the best product, there's no incentive for the inferior ones to improve. This is basic economics (unless you belong to a union). Let me put this another way -- American cars have been steadily improving since the 80s. Do you know why? Do you think they would have improved if they weren't under tremendous pressure from other corporations building better cars? This is the way the economy works, man. I will never, ever, buy a product just because it was or wasn't built in a certain country. As soon as I see an American car I like and am confident in it's reliability, I will buy it. I haven't seen one yet. I don't buy a car because it was made in Japan, I buy a car because I feel it's the best, most reliable car for the $$. BTW - I worked for Kodak. I saw the "American way" all too well. Inefficiency, waste, sloth, poor products, etc. Kodak isn't sh!tting the bed because of the Japanese, Kodak is shitting the bed because it failed to compete in a global market. There is never any reason to buy a Kodak product unless you feel it is the best available. Buying a product just because it is American is stupid. It doesn't fit the model of what an efficient market really is. Get with the 21st century, man. This is a global economy. Make good products or get out of it. Bon appetit! PS: I don't have kids, and I'm not planning on it.
