    ***Official*** World Cup Prediction Thread

    Friedel isn't on the squad either. It's Keller, Howard and Hahnemann. I think Brazil is going to be fun to watch is the favorite for obvious reasons. Italy can practically field a squad that has been playing together for ages on the club level with Pirlo, Gattuso, Gilardino and Inzaghi on...

    Consumer Reports Best & Worst SUVs, Trucks, Minivans, Wagons 2006

    Why is that disgraceful? It's the best in it's class and beats 2 of the 3 best small SUVs. The RX400h was designed to offer more performance without sacrificing fuel economy and that's what it does. It was not intended to be anything else.

    acoustic guitars

    I could have sworn I saw a Hot Deal that Jokersmoker posted recently for a few $99 acoustics with free shipping. Let me see if I can find it.

    Did I make a wise college choice?

    My uncle went to Rowan back when it was Glassboro State and another uncle went to Rutgers and spent many years as an engineer for GE. I believe they sent him for his MBA and he's now in management there. Of the two, I'm suprised you wouldn't have chosen Rutgers, but I bet it's because you're...

    You're fired!

    I think Rebecca and Randall are a good choice for the final two. Alla is obviously a fantastic businesswoman, but she clearly has to be the boss. When Clay was PM for the Star Wars task, she basically did it all, and when she tried to collaborate with Felisha it turned into that clusterfvck...

    I'm grossly underpaid at work.

    The only time I really had to ask for a raise was when I had my first job out of college. We were understaffed in my department so I was doing extra and I wasn't making that much. I got another offer, and told them I was splitting. I got a 20% raise out of the deal and my raises after that were...

    The Giants Win!

    Meh...he's still adjusting. This was his first road win. Give him some more time to settle in and I think he'll be fine. I was a little disappointed in the Giant's offense yesterday as well, but I guess if you're going to have an off day it's good to do it against the 49ers. Last week was a big...

    I guess they should take that as a compliment considering they have 9 games left to play and you assume they will make the playoffs.

    YART: Fiance wanted to buy a "new" condo instead of renting

    Really man, I can't help but think you're parroting something you've heard without giving it any thought. And why generalize? We have a specific example here. He could stick $1500 a month or $18,000 a year in the bank. During the first year with a mortgage that size you'll pay around $5000 to...

    YART: Fiance wanted to buy a "new" condo instead of renting

    How can there possibly be anything wrong with this comparison? He's talking about where they live now and the condo they're looking at. This is his reality, not an example for the sake of conversation.

    Java v.s .NET job?

    Are you actually suggesting you can master a programming languange in a day or two? Well, if you take a .NET job and work at it for a few years, do you think you'll have an easy time getting a senior level Java position? And if you learn Java will you slide into a .NET position with no...

    Shaving is painful.

    What's funny is I was going to post that the people saying that have probably only shaved themselves so how the hell would they know? It's likely true of your post as well.

    Shaving is painful.

    I would think that you guys would be smarter than this, but for some reason you imagine that if it doesn't hurt you to shave, then it doesn't hurt anyone. Count yourselves fortunate, if ignorant.

    Supertroopers -- best film of the past 50 years

    I was a bit disturbed when I saw that Jay Chandrasekhar directed the Dukes of Hazzard! http://imdb.com/name/nm0151540/ Now that I know his name is Jumbulingham and he also directed a few Arrested Development epsiodes I forgive him. P.S. Who wants a mustache ride?

    I don't care who gets fired now that the annoying pompous "investment banker" b!tch is gone. You know, the one who couldn't figure out how a television works because it was obviously "beneath her." Here she is worried about her "reputation" when she just insulted everyone watching her anyway...

    Edmunds First Drive: 2006 Hyundai Azera

    I'm not so sure. Those things are generally the most expensive options and for many people completely unnecessary. As for those critical of the bland styling, sure it's not pretty, but it's not really about being pretty.

    Best shows on TV

    Arrested Development seems like it's just head and shoulders above the rest. I've had my fill of crime shows and reality TV. If I can find a game on preferably futbol or Football, I'm happy. I also have a 5 month old daughter so not too much spare time for TV.

    Maybe the reason blacks act out negatively is because they were FORCED to come here.

    My grandfather was a shopkeeper in Poland. In was imprisoned by the Germans and eventually escaped to the US. He had health problems due to the conditions/malnutrition and he had a doctor help him exacerbate the symptoms so they would release him. He came all the way to the US to work in...

    why does a person need to carry a gun on a daily basis in america in 2005?

    I'm not really interested in the subject of gun control, just curious as to the validity of the factual/statistic claims people have made in this thread. I know more people who have been killed by drinking and driving than guns. I agree that we have bigger problems in our society and violence is...

    why does a person need to carry a gun on a daily basis in america in 2005?

    I can't really tell. Are you saying Thera is posting inaccurate information? You just posted there were approx. 29,000 gun deaths in the US 6 years ago. What makes 30,000 so inaccurate? Where's your source? Also, do you think it's wise to use the UK as an example when we have 6x the...
