  1. Haha, I was watching this game live and was going nuts after that goal. Arbeloa chested that down perfectly, made a nice move down in the penalty box, and finished it off perfectly. For a defender that was very impressive, almost like a natural striker.
  2. Haha, that was my only issue with the previous skin.
  3. Yea, like I said it didn't look that bad. Hopefully he'll be back soon.
  4. The Magic's next game is Thursday so maybe that will give Carter enough time to recover so he won't miss any games.
  5. Haha, same here. But yea, looks great. I didn't expect you to be done with it so quickly. Guess you weren't kidding when you said you would get it done quicker than usual.
  6. Last night I watched Where The Wild Things Are and a short by the same director (Spike Jonze) titled I'm Here. Really liked both.
  7. Redick and Anderson stepped up today. Too bad Carter got injured (strained right toe), but it didn't look that bad.
  8. Carter sprained his right ankle during this game, and he sprained his right toe today against the Nuggets. Hopefully he won't miss any games.
  9. I'd give up posting on an NBA forum most likely, but I have a few graphics and football (soccer) forums I post on already.
  10. It might be true and/or obvious, but it's ridiculous nonetheless to point out Bird has higher career totals. That doesn't illustrate that Bird is a better player than LeBron James. All it shows is that Bird was able to put up more points, rebounds, assists, etc. in double the amount of games. So what? In my opinion, that doesn't help your argument. All I'm saying. To be honest, it's actually an advantage considering LeBron James has scored almost more than 2000 points and dished out more assists than Bird in less games.
  11. Just to point out, it's not really fair to compare what Bird achieved in 13 seasons to what LeBron has up to this point. It's not hard to believe that Bird had more assists/rebounds in almost double the amount of time. Up to this point (543 games), LeBron James has... - 15,106 points - 3,768 assists - 3,819 rebounds - 948 steals - 479 blocks - .475% FG - .330% 3PFG In 7 NBA seasons (561 games), Larry Bird had... - 13,431 points - 3,334 assists - 5,897 rebounds - 1,034 steals - 471 blocks I agree with you, though. Larry Bird is the greatest SF at this point.
  12. Good luck with that, can't wait to see it.
  13. Oh man, two great consecutive posts by Real Deal. Out of +1's for the day, unfortunately.
  14. The United States might have been a super power for the past two hundred years or so, but everybody else is gradually catching up. The United States is not the superpower it once was. Our capitalist society has such a high standard of living, because we're doing so at the expense of others. In regards to the population, the U.S. is using an unproportional amount of resources. Now as other countries are rising up in terms of power and influence, they'll want the same amount of resources we do. What is the U.S. going to tell them? No? Do you think they'll take that answer? This system seemed great when we were the clear-cut number one in the world; you can't pretend we still are. If you look at health care patterns all over the world, in most developed countries the government programs pay more than 70 percent of health care costs, and individuals pay less than 30 percent. In contrast, individuals in the least developed countries pay more than half of the cost of health care. The United States, however, follows closely the pattern of the least developed countries where most individuals are required to pay 55 percent of health care. That's not going to cut it if we want to continue being a super power. Yes, because Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the Netherlands are all poor. They all have some sort of government funded health care program, including universal health care... and guess what? They are some of the richest countries in the world. Government funded health care is not synonymous with being poor.
