wopphil got a reaction from halobob in DiPoto speaks
The situation was obviously extremely toxic for Jerry. Most people don't quit a high-paying, highly sought after job (in which they are highly respected) mid-stream unless something is seriously wrong. There was way more going on behind the scenes than we know.

wopphil reacted to eaterfan in RIP Sir Nicholas Hinton
I just wanted to post a link to this guy's obituary on here. He died at 106 and was a truly good guy.
His story doesn't get a lot of attention and he wanted it that way. But basically he saved 670 children from the Nazis in Czechoslovakia and brought them to England. He didn't tell anyone until the late 80s when his wife found a scrap book of it in their attic.
With all the attention doo many bad people get upon their passing I just wanted puerile to hear the story of this guy and remember what he did.

wopphil reacted to gotbeer in Big Catorce on Josh Hamilton
It would be kind of funny if Hamilton goes on a rant about how the Angels made him fail by not preparing him with scouting reports before games.

Watching the Direct TV commercial where they boast 99% up time. In a year, 99% up time means you are down for 3.65 days. That is a heck of a lot of down time.

Yeah, no offense to the OP, but this is the worst idea I have ever heard.

I wonder if Lou thinks this is funny or if he thinks you are a collosal douche.

Probably a dumb question, but even if you get "banned for life" what is really stopping you from going to more games? Do they have a "Wanted" poster like the old west days so that staff can recognize him?

I'd say 95% Tiffany is a fat chick who graduated high school between 1986 and 1991.
Tabitha is always a fat chick.

It is funny that people think Europe is less racist than the US.

Awesome. Hopefully they shoot the other one too. These guys would best serve this world not serving this world.

wopphil got a reaction from Amazing Larry in SCOTUS: Same Sex Marriage Legal Nationwide
I couldn't disagree more with this decision. I think states should get to decide this issue, not 9 completely out of touch (mostly) senior citizens.
On a personal level, I have no objection whatsoever to gay marriage. The last time I had the chance to vote on the issue, I voted in favor of it. I just don't think the courts should be deciding this issue.

Hk is better. However the gap is not remotely as wide as we thought it would be. That tiny gap is well worth heaney on the cheap.

Is that how you decide laws? For example, assuming you work, how will cutting welfare impact your life? Would somebody marrying their dog and killing their one-year old impact your life?
Most people decide laws on the common good and what they think its right.

Nice and well-thought contribution to the discussion.

Justice Scalia agrees with you:
"Today’s decree says that my Ruler, and the Ruler of 320 million Americans coast-to-coast, is a majority of the nine lawyers on the Supreme Court. The opinion in these cases is the furthest extension in fact— and the furthest extension one can even imagine—of the Court’s claimed power to create “liberties†that the Constitution and its Amendments neglect to mention. This practice of constitutional revision by an unelected committee of nine, always accompanied (as it is today) by extravagant praise of liberty, robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves."

Are you referring to the Latino post above? Is there a majority Latino area in orange county that votes for the more conservative candidate? If not,then its not that dumb, is it?
One correction is that the relevant number as far as elections is percentage of electorate, not population.

Maybe his BF ("Balls Factor") is low, indicating he doesn't have the balls to come in with runners on and get out of the situation with minimal damage.
