  1. I can understand the shoe throwers frustration. Now that guy is gonna end up in some secret prison without any rights and getting tortured instead of the guy who deserves it, namely Bush.
  2. Pretty good film. I haven't seen it in ages. Thanks for the reminder.
  3. I would like to think that this kind of abuse is just at this school, or maybe a handful of schools around the nation at most. However it seems more and more often these days police or security officers are abusing their power. They forget that they are there to protect and serve the public. It's disgraceful that torture like this happens, but we still have a president that condones torture and tv shows that even glamorize it. It's hard to know where to place the blame. Of course most of the blame belongs on the perpetrators, but I think at least some needs to be placed on media and other authority figures.
  4. I really like this video. I love Karin's voice.
  5. True. I still think a playoff is possible. Maybe someday it will happen.
  6. Nebraska is going to the Gator Bowl. Should be a good game, but Nebraska is gonna kill. Rose Bowl = Penn State .vs USC. I'll root for Penn. Sugar Bowl = Utah and Alabama. I gotta root for Utah even though I don't think they'll win. Orange Bowl = Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati. Don't care who wins here. Fiesta Bowl = Texas vs. Ohio State. I think I'm gonna root for Ohio St. BCS Campionship Game = Oklahoma vs. Florida. Too bad they both can't lose. I don't like either team.
  7. The bowl selection show is on ESPN tonight.
  8. So Florida beats Alabama, and neither one of them move in the BCS poll? Just doesn't seem right to me. Of course the BCS has never seemed right to me.
  9. Looks like Bama is gonna loose and USC is gonna win. Now for the Oklahoma vs. Missouri game. I'll root for Missouri also.
  10. I'm no hater. But just because they might get one or two right, doesn't lend validity or credibility to the organizations or the spectacle.
  11. Right. They glorify sales and not talent. And they don't even include artists that aren't associated with the RIAA. You have to be under a major label to even be considered. Keep on pushing that mass produced crap and next year there won't be any platinum albums. Bunch of tone deaf asshats and studio made artists.
  12. Teens Charged In Nursing Home Abuse Cops: Female caregivers spat on, spanked, humiliated infirm elderly Source: The Smoking Gun DECEMBER 2--A group of teenagers working at a Minnesota nursing home abused and sexually humiliated elderly residents suffering from Alzheimer's disease and dementia, prosecutors allege. The six young female caregivers were named yesterday in criminal complaints charging them with a variety of cruel behavior at the Good Samaritan Society nursing home in Albert Lea, a city in southern Minnesota. Only two of those charged--Brianna Broitzman, 19, and Ashton Larson, 18--are named in the complaints since they were not minors when the alleged abuse occurred. According to District Court complaints filed against Broitzman (pictured above left) and Larson (above right), nursing home residents were spat upon, spanked, improperly touched, and tormented by the teenagers earlier this year. Excerpts of the misdemeanor complaints can be found below. Broitzman allegedly poked one resident's breasts, spit into the mouth of another elderly person, and "put her bare butt" in the face of a Good Samaritan Society resident identified as "S.W." Larson once "inserted her finger into a resident's rectum," spit water on another "vulnerable adult," and would deliberately bathe a resident in a rough manner so the elderly man would get an erection. The minor caregivers are identified in the complaints by their initials and dates of birth. Broitzman, charged with 11 criminal counts, and Larson, charged with 10 counts, face a year in jail or up to a year in jail on each of the raps. (8 pages)
  13. Cool. I've always wanted to learn to play guitar. Thanks for the info.
  14. I thought it didn't sound anything like old GnR. It wasn't bad, but definitely not like the old sound. I guess that is to be expected since Axl is the only remaining original member. It's more like Axl and friends. He just got to keep the GnR name.
  15. I am thankful for music and BK! And whiskey sours.
  16. The donation hasn't showed up on your ChipIn page, but I have confirmation e-mails from ChipIn and PayPal, so let me know if you don't get it.
  17. There are still some games left. There could still be some shuffling among the top teams.
  18. You're not too far from me. It started to get a little scary towards the end of the BS game yesterday. I don't have alot, so I could only donate a small sum, but good luck with school. I have been semi-unemployed for the last couple of months as well. The temp agencies have saved my butt. You might want to check out some of them. Kellys or the like. They are also really good at working around a school schedule. Once again, good luck.
