We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful. Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Mr. Freaking Awesome

I was a freshman in High School, and was driving to school with my little brother listening to WGN they said a bomb went off in WTC and I kept thinking. Oh gawd 1993 again all over. I walked into my homeroom class (history teacher) and told her, she did not believe me so we turned on the news. I spent my entire day in that room in horror as I watched live people jump from the WTC towers and the buildings fall. Girls in my class were crying, I was angry but didn't know who to direct my anger towards. When news was released about the pentagon, I knew it was a terrorist attack. I actually figured it for right wing extremists a la Oklahoma city bombing at first but they usually don't act in such large groups so I dismissed that thought after the Pentagon news. We got out of school early I told my bother to take the bus, I went to a friends house and drank beers on his couch while we watched the buildings fall. I thought to my self, this is my generations JFK, everyone will remember where they were and what they were doing. I was just one of 330 million Americans but I was sad and angry just like the rest of them, I don't think we as a country have ever been so united in a general feeling ever since. |

This is the song I was talking about in the shout box earlier today. I only heard about the first two minutes of it, but it was very touching. I can't imagine how much more so it would be if I was a father such as yourself. |

yeah, I have a 4 year old daughter, so nearly everything that little girl says reminds me of her. |
![]() The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism. | |
