White Sox bats wake up, top Rays in Game 3

For example, just look at all the Yankees fans rooting for the Mets in the stretch, and vice versa - I think I saw them holding hands and singing Kumbaya in the stands. *rolls eyes* - I got $5 to get you started on your plane ticket back east.  (Yesterday | post #96)

White Sox bats wake up, top Rays in Game 3

Nah - head on over to the game three loss article, the one with over 1400 comments. You'll find plenty of reasons not to root for the Sox - I've never seen a bigger bunch of degenerates that get more jollies from the Cubs losing than they do from the Sox winning.  (Yesterday | post #95)

Cubs-Dodgers: Who has the edge in the NLDS?

Duly noted, opinion registered. Now crawl back under your rock and stop whizzing on the parade :-)  (Sunday Sep 28 | post #51)

Comments were assault on decency

Other public forums use an approach that seems to offer the best of both worlds. Look at "Yahoo! Answers", where the community rates the individual responses: if the rating falls too low, the system hides the response behind a link - if you want to read a low-rated response, click the link, and the response reappears. Nothing gets censored, yet the drivel doesn't clutter up the actual discussion. Best of all, it isn't one "moderator " making the decision.  (Wednesday Sep 24 | post #73)

Zambrano, Cubs slammed by Cardinals

That's cool and classy, man. Big Z got shelled today, but he's still one hell of a pitcher. I'll have him on the mound when the playoffs are on the line. I'll also have Demp, Lilly, and Harden. I'm feeling pretty good about this year.  (Friday Sep 19 | post #80)

Ex-Lake County chief judge says he did not break traffic laws i...

Hence my second post - which I unfortunately hadn't thought to add until I clicked "Post Comment" and had to commit the mortal forum sin of a double post :D  (Aug 29, 2008 | post #30)

No pets for you. No pets.

In your oh-so-humble opinion, of course. Others disagree - and if that makes them irrational to you and others, well, I don't think they give a flip. I certainly don't :D  (Aug 27, 2008 | post #264)

This is an anonymous internet forum. What is credibility?  (Aug 25, 2008 | post #222)

You returned the dog that you had for a year in a fit of frustration, and you're *surprised* that PAWS wouldn't give her back to you? THIS IS WHY SHELTERS ASK TOUGH QUESTIONS IN THE FIRST PLACE! Get a life, hoser.  (Aug 24, 2008 | post #166)

Well, they opened the shelter and they pay the bills, so I guess they can be as "crazy" as they want to be. And all you can really do about it is go elsewhere, write columns in the paper, or add snarky comments to said columns.  (Aug 24, 2008 | post #141)

Here's an idea. If you don't like the way a shelter is being run, or think the interviews are just too intrusive and/or a pain in the butt, form a not-for-profit corporation, raise funds for rent, staff, food, vet bills, et cetera, open up your own darn shelter, and run it however the heck you want. If you have the dedication and drive to open and run a shelter, you can be as choosy as you want to be in the adoption process. If not, go somewhere else if you don't like the way you're being treated.  (Aug 24, 2008 | post #137)

A head-scratcher for satisfied Prius owners

Actually, I do, and have all my life. Hardware store in HS, restaurants in college, IT post-college, independent consultant right now. I just do it right, do it well, and my customers keep coming back.  (Aug 24, 2008 | post #24)
