    I don't want to give up, just because "it won't work". We've never really tried.
  2. Mike Sixel
    the purpose of a gun is to kill. the purpose of weed, not so much.

    Uh, restrictions in Chicago aren't going to work if I can drive 5 minutes and buy a gun. That's pretty lazy, imo, in terms of arguments. Of course there are other issues, but the top issue is, imo, it is really easy to get a gun. Really, really easy. "the US is unique", that's the same argument against socialized medicine and any other thing that most of the right doesn't want. It's a weak argument. People and societies change, look at how much changed with gay marriage in the last 10 years. If we wanted to, really wanted to, we could change gun beliefs and laws. I know I have a zero percent chance of changing anyone's mind here.

    Also, all those people who want guns to fight tyranny......how do those people feel about black rioters fighting racism and murder by police? Let's not pretend that there is much deep thought on this topic, here....
  5. Mike Sixel
    Well, those happen as a natural consequence of the game. If an NFL player hits another player with his helmet, he is ejected, fined, and suspended......it is not acceptable. Your examples have 100% NOTHING to do with retaliating if someone disses you.
  6. Mike Sixel
    Win Twins. great intro....
  7. Mike Sixel
    the rest of the world, that has a lot less shootings than us, disagrees.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Right, if it is clear your starter doesn't have it, yank him. Like, right away.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Shocking that making it easier to get guns leads to more use of guns. Just. Shocking. And, yes, NOW is the time to talk about it. There is no better time, frankly.
  10. Mike Sixel
    So, you are advocating physical violence because someone was a jerk? I just want to understand, that's all. Some one tell me why that is acceptable. Can I now start punching people that cut in line? I was dissed, and heck, I just lost another minute of time in line. More damage was done to me there than the bat flip. Clearly, we don't accept that behavior off the field, why would we possibly accept it on the field?
  11. Mike Sixel
    And if he misses with the bean ball, and gives the guy a concussion, injuring his brain forever.......all over a bat flip? Wow. People are defending this.
  12. Mike Sixel
    A bullpen start is almost always your best option for 1 game.....but not many managers have the guts.
  13. Mike Sixel
    I didn't until this week (or maybe last week).
  14. Mike Sixel
    Looks like that......they did make some changes to our settings (which actually fixed a real work problem for me).
  15. Mike Sixel
    You know, we disagree on something here, but I love how you are typing respectfully here. thanks!
  16. Mike Sixel
    All the research shows you are 100% wrong about the kid thing. And, come on, Hitler is like a guy showboating? Really? edit: I'm out, I've made my points enough.
  17. Mike Sixel
    In some ways, this is classic blame the victim.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    Brock, at work, they changed a setting on IE11 (I think)...... and now I can't use any of the formatting tools. Is this something I can somehow change back?
  19. Mike Sixel
    Every time I see this thread title, I see "mark this thread as red" for some reason, and it makes me smile. I know, that wasn't helpful at all.
  20. Mike Sixel
    Great write up, thanks!
  21. Mike Sixel
    Thanks for another good writeup, Seth, even if I don't actually like the content!
  22. Mike Sixel
    I'm not defending what he did or did not do, btw.......I'm arguing that throwing at him is wrong.
  23. Mike Sixel
    I said the immediate reaction isn't a big deal. Reacting by throwing at him, as some are suggesting should be done.......that's a big deal.
  24. Mike Sixel
    I personally hate it, but for many, it is part of what they like. I vastly prefer to watch the elegance of the international game, but again, it's entertainment, so I get that others don't share my opinion. I do think that an argument can be made that the violence in hockey keeps the normal contact in line with being clean. I don't know if that is true or not, but I think that argument can be made. That argument can't be made about showboating in baseball, since it causes no harm.
  25. Mike Sixel
    thanks for this write up. Very fun read.
