  1. This is setting up to be a perfect opportunity for Trevor May
  2. Buck 4-5 with 4 runs scored tonight.....................damn wrist, thumb, whatever.
  3. Impressive Hicks, impressive. I take back all the bad things I said about you, even though I really liked you.
  4. This is like watching a game in bizarro world, these things usually happen to the Twins.
  5. How great is it to have a hitter again that you simply can't make a mistake to? And he's just getting started, I'm giddy like a schoolgirl...................and not ashamed to admit it.
  6. Hicksie's just all over it tonight, love seeing it.
  7. They should try taking this Mike Pelfrey on the road with them, he's a lot better than the one they have been.
  8. Hicksie!!!!!!! That's the leadoff guy we thought he could be.
  9. Not only that, when he does play why is such a difficult decision to bat him 8th ahead of Zuke?
  10. i do believe a lot of the shame and moral issues women feel about abortion can be eliminated based on how society views it, not all, that's an absolute. We're talking about whether the personhood of a fetus overides the personhood of the woman who's existence it depends on and her right to determine either to protect her equality , not what you or I decide to take issue with. This isn't about whether a person is a person or not based on skin colour or race, that suggests it's a "we" decision, which I don't believe it is. Reducing unwanted pregnancies should be the goal regardless of one's beliefs, but it has nothing to do with legalities, it doesn't have to be a "compromise", they need to co-exist. Manipulative narrative about "rights"? Not me, I 'm not trying to manipulate anything, why would I?
  11. Isn't that what education programs are intended to accomplish? Responsibility can't be taught through the fear of consequence.
  12. Nothing is absolute and the same for everyone, I didn't say that. I'm quite sure your friends felt the way they did, as well as others, many other women do not, I'm not kidding myself in saying society has framed the debate over abortion to be one of shame and guilt, it has become a moral issue regardless of whether it's a moral issue for the mother. The personhood of the mother is factual Levi and even if I were to believe that of a fetus is also factual I believe the woman's takes precedence over that. Her right to determine what happens within in her own body make it so.
  13. Education and increased, affordable access to birth control are good ideas. Enacting laws that protect children from harmful online pornography is a good idea. Allowing women the freedom to control what they do with their own bodies and determine their own futures is a good idea. They are separate issues, each with their own merit, I don't understand the need for a trade off ,other than simple pandering. In Canada, there are no federal or provincial laws restricting abortion (thankfully). Education and prevention initiatives exist but they have nothing to do with the legalities of abortion.
  14. Prevention is the only sane and logical way to deal with the abortion issue. Education and free access to birth control alternatives avoid the sanctimony that too many people weave into the debate, which imo nobody has the right to impart on a woman. From a feminist perspective, what really needs to disappear is the shame and guilt women are made to feel for having to make that decision, or the feeling that the decision is one that will somehow tragically alter their lives or make them murderers. Women's independence and liberty depends on their right to choose what happens with their own bodies. Their rights should always supersede those of the fetus whose life is completely dependent on the bodies of those which they grow within. A woman's personhood is real, their future is at stake, not one that has yet to be imagined. What I find heinous is the indignity women who have abortions are forced to live with, due to those who choose to frame the debate based on their own morality.
  15. Well said. The biggest offenders are usually the people who hitch their entire life's worth and happiness to the wagon of their favourite sports team. How dare Joe Mauer not provide me the opportunity to feel good about myself.
  16. If Plouffe could somehow turn into Jonathan Lucroy by osmosis I'm all for it. Failing that, there's no chance in hell.
  17. Perhaps you wouldn't have used the term "horrible" but it's still fair to discuss someone's lack of performance without being a jerk about it. If a pro athlete can't handle some legitimate criticism when it's merited then they're just in denial. It only becomes an issue for me when people decide to personally attack a player's character or comment on things they have no information on.
  18. Way......to......go http://cache2.asset-cache.net/gc/143176157-little-mr-smarty-pants-gettyimages.jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2&d=tdlqxtGKtzzUS4I9E2zIK3VfOtZTthm5hCKwvPO9NgSra4PJrioxLYuZiADodRA0
  19. That's usually the answer......
  20. Concur, a day late and a dollar short for the 5th straight year. Can't wait to hear the rhetoric defending this year. "We were a competetive team, we took a lot of strides, blah, blah, blah" Head still stuck in sand.
  21. It frightens me that this question is even being asked.
