[quote]Originally posted by groverat: Well, since the rulings don't forbid anyone from saying anything, it can't be argued. Then what does the ruling accomplish? You say that even though the law already prohibited people from being forced to s…

[quote]Originally posted by pfflam: perhaps you're right... I apologize. But I must say that the snap reactions of so many politicians who are obviously posing for the sake of their constituancy really gets my rile up. The picture of them jumpi…

[quote]Originally posted by pfflam: and besides, to make the posers feel better... Why are you becoming so ill-mannered lately, pfflam? In another thread you complained about ?you fanatic ?anti-regulation? mobsters?. Tone it down. I don?t h…

[quote]Originally posted by groverat: For you to say "they would think this is ridiculous" is laughable, just a complete joke. There is nothing about this ruling that exceeds the establishment clause, it's clear cut. It can just as easily b…

[quote]Originally posted by sjpsu: Eh. I agree but I meant the scope of the amendments can handle future issues. Basically, what you are saying is that the framers expected the Constitution to be re-interpreted in ways they could not foresee. …

[quote]Originally posted by sjpsu: The constitution was established to be modular enough to deal with unknown problems of the future. This issue is one of them. Yep. That's why they provided for a process by which it could be amended. That's …

[quote]Originally posted by groverat: How does that idea relate to this case? That's what this case is all about. The guy who brought the suit didn't want his daughter to have to hear the other students recite the pledge with the phrase "unde…

[quote]Originally posted by Mandricard: Those are the people who founded this country. Yep. Religious nuts with guns.

This is not a First Amendment issue. Or at least it shouldn't be. That won't prevent it from being treated as if it were one though. When the framers wrote and ratified the Constitution they were innoculating their new republic from the religious…

[quote]Originally posted by Thoth2: Yeah. Its called 1781 drafting style. Most of the Nouns in the Constitution are capitalized. Thoth Not sure what beer's point is but it wouldn't have anything to do with this. The phrase "separation of …

[quote]Originally posted by Fran441: Fine, so don't waste a pitcher's arm. Bring Nomar or some other fielder into 'pitch'. Not sure that's such a good idea either. Didn't Canseco get hurt doing that? Why don't they have more pitchers on the A…

A TIE??? What the hell is wrong with these people?

[quote]Originally posted by Gregg: Sounds like this could only be slightly more effective than the "don't buy gas next Tuesday" campaigns during the last few price runups. At least with baseball, you can't buy a ticket later for the game you didn't…

I'm in. Last time they went on strike I swore I wouldn't go back. Then like a putz I went back. If they go on strike again, it'll just show how little they care for the game. If they don't care, why should I? Hopefully this fan strike will send a me…

Banks and pension funds are taking a bath on this one. 61% of WorldCom's stock is held by institutions. And they can't sell! If they did, it would drive the price to zero defeating the purpose of the sale. The thing of it is: there's value here. Eve…

[quote]Originally posted by MarcUK: Great Britain and Britain refers to every country except (Southern) Ireland that come under duristiction from the Westminster (London) government... And what does "Cool Britainnia" refer to?

I like the discussions about time travel the best. Art Bell is all over the map. Frequently he comes across (to me) as a nut. But now and then he has someone on who seems credible and I start to feel myself, ever so slightly, getting sucked i…
