  • [quote]Originally posted by ShawnPatrickJoyce: Spaceman, how do you know how Bono writes his songs? I was basically paraphrasing what Bono himself said when he was talking about how he wrote "Walk On" - a song that I love, by the way. I don'…
  • [quote]Originally posted by ShawnPatrickJoyce: Wow. How do you regard this song when compared to other songs that reference 9/11? I like U2 plenty but this doesn't compare with what Springsteen offers on "The Rising". U2's song is too opaque for…

  • [quote]Originally posted by pfflam: Its a really great movie and a terrible movie in many of its implications. I wish I could post all that I've written about it before. I showed this movie when I taught a class on Death, Fascism kitsch and …

  • [quote]Originally posted by running with scissors: my god, fire that incompetent fvck! dave campo is a moron. once again his stupidity has cost the cowboys a game that they should have won. I didn't see any of the game. I took the spacebrother a…
  • Okay, I'll take it. A win's a win. Would have been happier if things didn't get so dramatic in the fourth quarter tough. And Garcia gave up a couple of picks too. I don't think the Niners are striking fear in the hearts of too many people thses days…
  • Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn, damn!!!
  • Did Jose Cortez suck or what? At least he made the game winner. The Niners offense looked massive down the stretch yesterday. I don't get to see them much around here unless I go to a sports bar. It was nice being able to see them from my home for a…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Shanny: The Dolphin's new offensive scheme makes me wet. R.W. and Norv Turner should marry me. My brother's a huge Dolphins fan so we had to go to a sports bar to catch the game. (Glad I didn't stick around to see …
  • My Niners didn't really look that good against the Jints but at least they won. They had a lot of trouble in the red zone. The passing game was spotty. Not really worried about that, though. Garcia and Owens will be just fine. The running game looke…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Matsu: PS. Liberty's tip more than they should. Last time I researched this they didn't tip any more than did the Toyota Land Cruiser - or maybe it was the 4Runner... I don't know... Toyota has so many SUVs. It's har…
  • My sig is always a link to some music that I like - either something I've uploaded to my iDisk or something I've found on the web.
  • [quote]Originally posted by Telomar: Basically you attacked the author's workplace and discredited what he said solely based on that. Yeah! That's it! I based my attack solely on the workplace. It couldn't have had anything to do with the …
  • [quote]Originally posted by Timo: C'mon, spiff, it's much more interesting to debate the substance of the post than to start up, again, with the editorial bias of the New York Times. Why don't we just agree that the Times skews left, WSJ right a…
  • [quote]Originally posted by BRussell: Ad hominem need not be directed at a specific person. It involves questioning the source of the message rather than the message itself, which is what you did. Well gee! I guess we should never question The T…
  • [quote]Originally posted by BRussell: Well I guess if you can't refute any of the specifics of the argument, ad hominem is one way to go. Ad hominem? The Times isn't a person. And I don't know if I can or can't refute the argument they made. I…
  • [quote]Originally posted by BRussell: There was a NY Times editorial about this yesterday... Not very surprising that The NY Times came out against another Bush initiative. If Bush came out in favor of sunshine and puppies, The Times would cal…
  • [quote]Originally posted by Artman @_@: I agree with SDW2001 on thinning and burning forests. I watched NOVA last night called "Fire Wars" and it helped educate me on America's policy on this. Anyone around in 1910 would remember The Big Blow Up.…
