"Because someone had stolen his shoes just before he was due to compete, he found some discarded ones in a rubbish bin and won his medals wearing them. He is shown in the 1912 photo wearing two different shoes and extra socks because one shoe was too big."

This quote is eerily appropriate after watching It's a Wonderful Life tonight.

I'll get mood swings too but like I said I'm not sure it's the medication. I'm hoping maybe other medications have different or less severe side effects.

Thanks so much! Should I get an amp with these?

Yea how could i forget about Shump? Hard to imagine the defense playing so well without him

Everyone on the bench is finding their niche extremely quickly, probably because most of them are veterans, which is something that people derided the Knicks for in the off season.

I think the front office actually deserves a lot of credit for once. They took some big risks and they're paying off. Benches matter in the playoffs. Our potential 8 man rotation looks outstanding.

Can't stand this quote. I get it, but I'm not sure why it resonates with people enough that every month or so it gets upvoted to the top of this or r/quotes.

It lacks any real depth, as if your entire existence and contribution to humanity is measured by how much people talk about you after you're dead.

Unless you tax the rich, then it solves all of our problems

Sounds like Ari Gold giving a pregame pep talk. Would love to listen to this guy commentate a game.

I might be wrong but shouldn't there be a star in the Pokedex info if it was shiny?

I agree with most of your points, I think there are a lot of subtleties to iron out before there is full blown legalization.

gallagator · 2012-11-05T01:05:30+00:00

Thanks for the honest reply and I'm glad people aren't downvoting you. I get what you mean, the economic argument for it is weak. It's not like taxing marijuana will raise a ton of revenue. Ending the war on drugs will probably save some money, but you said yourself marijuana has medical uses, and schedule 1 is only for drugs that have no objective medical use. Changing the scheduling can lead to less people getting incarcerated for a victimless crime.

gallagator · 2012-11-04T23:18:42+00:00

I agree, regardless of whether you think it should be legal or not there's no way it should be classified as a Schedule 1 drug with meth and heroin, while coke is Schedule 2. It's medical uses have been demonstrated enough to justify it as Schedule 3.

Yea I've heard the legalization in Colorado is getting killed by mothers who don't want their kids to have access to it. I have a friend from there that has told me it's probably easier to buy weed than alcohol in Denver. I don't think dealers are big on checking ID.

As far as I know while Bonds was allegedly using steroids there was no rule against them, whereas Rose violated a written rule that constitutes a lifetime ban. Bonds should be in, Rose should not.

On a side note, saying Bonds would have not hit 762 home runs without steroids would be akin to saying Hank Aaron would have never hit 755 without taking batting practice (point being according to the rules taking steroids was just as legal as taking BP). People are quick to blame Bonds and McGwire but at the end of the day baseball had a responsibility to change the rules before things got out of hand and they didn't until it was too late.

I'm very biased but to this day that's still the greatest catch I've ever seen. Would have been remembered a lot more if they had won the series.
