Word up, Caix.

Just don't fucking read RR's posts if you don't like them.
Why is that such a bizarre concept to so many people all of a sudden?

Agreed. RJR is doing the right thing by taking a time-out rather than let an internet forum piss him off any further.

More people should consider this rather than turning every sodding thread into a pissing contest.

exactly. this forum has offline ties as well as online. whiffle ball, BBQs, poker and shows to just name a few. man, this summer would have been boring if it wasn't for the core group of chicagoans on this board. seems like we were all at the note every friday, buying randall shots of jack to wash his beer down with.

For real, I've placed animals in good homes, fixed my computer, guitar, cell phone, etc...., gotten shows, made friends, heard great music, ate great food, seen great movies, on and on and on......all that I wouldn't have otherwise all because this place exists

Aside from maybe one or two people being sorta not very cool with me for whatever silly reason, pretty much every single person I've met off here, especially RR has been a really, really swell person willing to go out of their way to help a someone out when they needed it, no questions asked.

Fuck all the haters and crybabies, EA rules forever no matter what.

Yea I just don't read a lot of the threads I'm not interested in. I see a thread about Ron Paul I go to the tech room and see if anyone is talking tech.

By the way we will miss you.

Does White Castle have Chicken O's in Chicago, they are very popular here in New York kind of a small onion ring shaped piece of chicken. If so what part of the chicken are the O's made of? Speculation.

They do. This is by far, the worst foodstuff (not even sure it's food) I've ever had the displeasure of consuming in my entire life. I wouldn't feed this to a starving Somalian.

I have it on good authority that the Chicken O's are made from the chicken's soul, which is ripped from it's dying body with sort of a vacuum type device attached to it's decapitated body.

Yes. But still. It would be nice to read a thread about US Politics on here that doesn't get Godzilla'd.

Although RJR is no fan of mine, I was a fan of his.

*sad face*

He's right though, although I'm almost certainly part of the problem and not the proverbial...

I've never experienced a political discussion that didn't turn into a heated debate. So, good luck on that. Never going to not happen. But I'm glad to see people have passion, either way.
