Well . . . "despicable" is not the word I woulda gone with but . . .

I thought he didn't handle himself well. Even if the questions were fair/unfair you are a national figure of important significance in these tough times. He shoulda been prepared or did he expect a love-fest? instead of a hard drill?

And of course any criticism of an admin official reflects on the commander chief, and is infact an indirect indictment on him, this has been true for the past 43 presidents, no?

Three of our starters are even injured right now sef. See the reason we are a 2nd rounder or 3rd rounder is simple! Dirk does not get enough consistent help in crunch time situations especially in the post season. The only time we did get consistent help we got to the Finals and that help is Josh Howard when he is in All star form we are at par with the Lakers in the West but he's decided to be injured and inconsistent at the same time. The good part is with a younger back court of Barea and Beaubois there is depth in the back court the front court is a bit older but i am liking that Humphries dude sha he's been productive with his lean minutes and Gooden has been an excellent addition so far i can only hope Marion gets back soon and even Dampier lol even though i still think he sucks. Bottom line is till we get that other consistent go-to guy we would always contend but fall short Kobe needed Gasol, K.G needed Pierce and Allen, Duncan had Parker and Ginobili it just may change for us this season who knows? I'm only scared of the Lakers and maybe the Nuggets thankfully the Hornets are not playoff candidates
I'd advice ma Mavs to trade Howard by season end if he doesn't shape up he turns 30 anyway and go for Rudy Gay who's wasting with the Grizz[/quote]He is wasting for real. I'm not so sure all Dirk needs is a better supporting cast . . . I think he needs a co-star.

When would the Nets get their first win? 0-12. Jay-Z must be pissed!

lol . . . this is not a good way to woo LeBron over.

No2 heard of this new show called "Conspiracy Theory" on history channel I think, hosted by Jesse Ventura - former wrestler and governor?

semid4lyfe:
And won't the instant replay and issuing of challenges by coaches truly slow down the game? I can imagine a match were every goal, penalty, freekick, yellow & red cards, throw in's etc. is challenged.

It won't if its limited and used properly.
Basketball reviews end of game or game-altering calls, Baseball reviews whether it was a home run or not, Tennis issues I think 2 challenges per set to the players and extra if it goes into a tie break.

  American football should be the standard. The coaches have challenges/timeouts (2 per half I think) - if they challenge uneccesarily/are wrong they lose a very costly timeout. Also officials can themselves initiate a review of a call during the last 2 minutes of a game.

  Soccer needs to catch up with the times and institute replay asap to stop the kind of injustice that happened to Ireland. One challenge (review/replay) can be equal to a substitution if the coach ends up being wrong, that way a coach would think long and hard before challenging a call on the field.

No2Atheism:
Yes Global Warming is a myth . . .

1. Nope there is no conspiracy by scientists.


2. Actually its politicians that are peddling and fostering the idea of global warming. . . renowned scientists are actually now publicly speaking up against global warming.

3. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not a pollutant . . . it is required by plants. Hence more carbon dioxide means more plant growth.

4. Pollution by other chemicals is a bad thing . . . however pollution is not what causes global warming. Global warming is not talking about pollution . . . I am completely against pollution.

5. The Earth has been going through natural cycles of warming and cooling, hence humans have nothing to do with those cycles.

6. Guess wat, in the middle of the last century it was actually claimed by the same propaganda machine that they earth was freezing up . . so in essence, the global propaganda machine went from GLOBAL FREEZING TO GLOBAL WARMING . . . just under 100yrs . . .INCREDIBLE

7. I was a global warming believer like you (yes i confess) . . .however i stopped being a believer and started to actually started to question and examine the facts instead of what the general consensus is.

8. Other planets such as Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have been reported to also experience rise in the temperatures. . . so are there also humans on them that are causing the global warming.

9. The one common denominator of rise in planetary temperatures can only be traced back to the Sun (i.e. the sun is doing its job of provide heat and light) so technically speaking, increased solar activity can easily account for the interplanetary increase in planetary temperatures.

10. Ozone layer depletion is caused by pollution and not global warming . . . please do not mix up the two.

11. Ozone layer depletion is caused by pollution through harmful chemicals . . .

13. Ozone is not depleted because the temperature is postulated to be rising . . . on the contrary, the opposite is actually true.

Kai! this one na geography/geology class oh . . . Max is this more than you bargained for?

why settle to be a lowly suicide bomber when you can enlist in the US army and be a well-paid, desk dweller, surfing the net for fellow jihadists, turning down any assignment you don't like, saying whatever you want as the management is handicapped by political correctness, living up the good life at the local strip club?

Global warming - the increase in the earth surface/air temperature. Contenders believe it will continue and is largely due to man's harmful activities (greenhouse gases, deforestation etc etc)
Climate change - can be described as the change/fluctuations in local weather patterns.

Max the simple truth is a lot of these legitimate scientist believers in global warming are armed only with theories and faulty statistics that bend and break under the close scrutiny. I agree wholeheartedly man needs to curb pollution and uneccesary emission of harmful gases into the atmosphere but to the extent of which we have caused any substantial, measurable damage on the 'global warming' scale, is anybody's guess.

Lol . . . the poor guy thought he was doing a service and coming to educate us, instead we fended and chased him off as if with a broom  if not for it was a 'christian' event lol we wouldn't have been so nice

  Some of the other stuff about pollution and teaching people how to interact with the environment is good, practical stuff though.

Americans can now know that their President is a ceremonial leader,there are 27 powers above him in American and there may be evident of an extraterrestrial involve.your thought on this before I provide proof.

My thoughts are you should provide your proof before we proceed

I haven't watched the videos, but I know very well a certain man of God, fearless in his presentation and declaration of the gospel of Jesus Christ - a man named Paul Washer. You will do well to listen to him.

Digress all you like homeboy . . . this entire thread is one huge fun digression.

Max you can't be buying into the Al Gore song and dance, complete with a sham of a nobel prize. I think global warming is a myth, there's just not enough scientific data to support the sentimental propaganda. We had one of the foremost experts on evnironment give a presentation at school last year. He wrote a book called "Our Father’s World: Mobilizing the Church to Care for Creation"

Needless to say I (and a few other unbelievers) were tormenting the poor guy all night with a global warming skpetics dream-questions. I think he was flustered and slightly teed off at the end while exchanging pleasantries.
-To say people should only eat beef once a month so as to reduce the emissions of a cattle factory in a land far far away

bawomolo:
Any sport that doesn't have instant replay in an era of HD technology is lost.

I was just about to say that. Instant replay and issuing of 'challenges' by the coach should be a staple in every sport.

Well the knicks have nuthin to lose by getting Iverson for the rest of the year . . . he will score and sell tickets cos Lord knows they gon need the money next summer.

Lol . . . this is too funny.

I wonder . . .

   is the measure by which some christians ascribe authority to the bible based on available historical evidence (archeological, anecdotal and otherwise) that correlate and hence validate biblical narratives confirming them to be indeed factual accounts?

or

   is the measure by which some christians ascribe authority to the bible simply based on the fact that the words of the bible are life and power, bursting at the seams with a soul-transforming message of love, death, sacrifice and redemption?

---

  I'm wary of christians of the former persuation, they have missed the point entirely while convinced they be on some sort of justified, laudable search for greater spiritual enlightenment. However intellectually profitable extra-biblical materials may be - and oftentimes they are - but for the christian they must never become the foundation upon which you stand or even a pillar upon which your faith leans. I'm reminded of 2 Tim 3:7 "always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth"

but please ignore me, I was just wondering out loud . . .

QBs dont suffer that much abuse in the modern game. Its RBs that get the most punishment. The fraction of people that suffer cerebral damage from playing football is minimal, and does not warrant limiting a child's ambition to just being a kicker.

Boxing, on the other hand, is a different beast altogether.

Cerebral damage only? are you forgetting the tons of other medical issues ex-pro football players suffer?
