  1. Rex Grossman should be fired. He played that game like he was scared. Who's scared of baby horses? They're cute if anything. Lineman coming at you, you can do one of a few things. 1) Dodge left 2) Dodge right 3) Take the hit/fall for a three yard loss 4) Turn tail and run like a panzy ten yards back of the line of scrimmage on second and two to make sure that you get don't get a first down. Which one do you think Grossman did? Guy is wide open down the middle, do you: 1) Hit him while he's open with a good hard pass 2) Throw a weak lame duck off your back foot that would give a defensive lineman enough time to run under it? Which one do you think Rex Grossman did? I can throw a nerf ball into the wind as well as Grossman was throwing the football today. I could also probably take a snap better. Anybody know what Grossman's quarterback rating was today?
  2. So basically my friend and I got in a discussion about whether being a teen was about putting yourself in the best possible position for when you're older so you can live it up then, or living it up now as much as you can as long as you don't sacrifice TOO much when you're older. What do you guys think?
  3. Somebody put the show on estrogen pills. There is now more arguing about the constitution than there is ass-kicking.
  4. Grossman needs to be fired. At least I got to hang out with a cute girl.
  5. Chances are that he'll spend one year at UCLA, although I couldn't guarantee it. I see the value in an education, but I also see that if he goes pro he's set for life anyway. If he's guaranteed a living just by getting pro, I don't see why he shouldn't go to the NBA. A college basketball career is more likely to hurt him than help him as far as his future goes because of injury. I'm not sure I would say it's a bad idea for him to go to pro immediately.
  6. So, how it breaks down is that my (public school) basketball team beat (private school) Mater Dei's basketball team the #3 team in the nation by nine yesterday in their home (18 million dollar) gym. Kevin Love is our best player, actually according to ESPN he's the nation's best player. Oh ya, and also according to ESPN he has the best fundamentals of any high school basketball player in the last 25 years. He's not bad. Bow down.
  7. It never ceases to amaze me how people insist that you cannot actually become happy.
  8. John, I can summarize the whole thing for you really quickly and you really will not have missed much. I can't think of any real key things that you might miss in the small stuff, so anything else you can probably infer.
  9. I'm at my friend's house and we've been playing World of Warcraft Burning Crusade. The new expansion is really ridiculously cool. They stacked another ten levels on the max. The thing with it is I can make heads or tales of the new technical stuff so I can't figure out what's good with what type of stuff as far as classes and races go. I'm thinking about getting it for my laptop but I know I'll have to downgrade the graphics card to make it work. That's okay though, it's still a good time.
  10. Haha, don't wait to break out the second season. After all, who could resist seeing my very favorite Jack Bauer moment ever? The show is amazing.
  11. I messed up something in this post. I'm fixing it on word.

  13. Sometimes I wish I was alive back then. Other times I don't.
  14. The only thing that could be better if they were playing in the cold. Cold+passing game=weakness. Cold+passing game+ Bears' ungodly defense+ Brian Urlacher (he deserves his own mention)+God (Brian Urlacher)=Bears win. When the defense both is ungodly and has God on it, you know they're good.
  15. Two days until the Bears dominate the Colts.
  16. So if they ask then give it to them. Don't center your argument around it. It is a logical fallacy when used as a centerpoint in a debate. If someone asks for verification it is not, it's just complying with a request. When you said it would be a good idea to use arguments from authority, well that's a direct reference to the former.
  17. Michael, I think I finally have a handle on where and why we disagree. You say that abstract art makes someone evoke an emotion. It inspires an emotion in us. I completely agree. In order for an emotion to be felt, interaction is necessary. Someone who has no relation to anything cannot have emotion because consciousness is dependent on reality first. If there is nothing, consciousness cannot exist. When something is completely abstract it uses sensing and percepting. It does not make you conceive of what it is you are showing, in fact it defies you that. In other words, it lets you know that something is there and it lets you differentiate between entities, but it does not tell you what is there. If something does not tell you what is there it cannot show you anything. The difference is in that there is a difference between being made to have an emotion and showing that emotion. I can take a visual image and it can depict an idea. Abstract art can make you feel it without showing you. Lunch time. I'll write more soon.
  18. Brant said, I can appreciate that you have done many things which I have not. However, for the sake of argument can you tell me the logical thought process that lead you from your basis to your conclusion? Because you did not connect the two, although I am sure you can, what that post says is that essentially I am not capable of understanding because I lack something that I cannot get, that being experience. I am sure you are not trying to use an argument from authority, and I am sure that the issue could be quickly resolved by giving insight into the logical process you followed based on your experiences that I lack.
  19. On what basis do you say any of this?
  20. You know what a great game was? Advent Rising. I was WAYYYYYY into that game until my xbox broke and its not compatible with the 360. That game takes SOOOO long to finish, I don't even know how far into it I was.
  21. The lattermost. The first one is non-existent (or nearly so).
