While the >President says that we are for free speech in America, >these people are being hauled away. There's a hook in my lip, right? You couldn't be this stupid. John Rogers AU Class of 1985 The Al Del Greco of Atlanta "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

The only thing I'm taking "personally" is a douchebag Ravens fan blathering at fans of a franchise they actually supported for an entire generation losing it to another city for no reason fault of the fans. Your as always speaking out your ass without a clue what you are talking about. You won't find anyone on this side of the country that doesn't know who owns the team idiot. You also are clearly clueless as to how this all went down. > Kudos to the city of Seattle for sticking by their decision not to pay > for an upgrade of Key Arena; that's the city's right and the choice was > certainly theirs to be made. Actually that isn't what the city position was at all...which again shows you don't know what you are talking about. The cities position had been and remains that upgrades to Key Arena should have sufficed. This owner that you are sorta defending held one single position from the outset. That a brand new arena was required in order for him to keep the team in Seattle. His "proposal" amounted to a $500m arena fully tax payer funded. Mr. Bennet's position was that since he purchased the team that amounted to his contribution. Throughout this interaction he always stated that an upgraded Key Arena was not acceptable. He had one position. Give him a brand new arena or he would take the team away. Having said that, it's the owner's team, > not the city's.

I supppose Viacom is within their rights to protect their property. My question wasn't answered in the article - What data has Google/ Youtube been keeping? "Who uploaded what?" makes sense, but "Who is watching what?" is little scary. Are they logging my IP even when I don't sign in?

Seeing that Jim Neidhart is her father , you'd figure there would have been mention of her along time ago. First time I've seen an word about her has been this year and it was worded in ways that sounded like she was a rookie just getting into the business. Is she a real 'wrestling veteran' like Victoria and Mickie James that actually get in the ring ? .. or a 'veteran' like Torrie wilson or stacy keibler of ( attempt of taking eye-candy and training to be a wreslter) who although had been in wwe for like 5 years, but spent 90% of the time shaking their ass because they had almost no in-ring skill ? > -- There is said to be some legit heat between SmackDown Divas > Michelle McCool and Natalya Neidhart.

I do pay attention. Its not my fault that the newsgroups and fan sites are littered with irrelvant jibberish or spam and not enough real info. lol == 4 of 5 == Date: Fri, Jul 4 2008 6:52 pm From: "Butters" "Becoming something you're not [was LH]" <lfkkhjssssssssssik@lhhhhggd.com> wrote in message news:lfkkhjssssssssssik-8D6746.20521704072008@newsclstr03.news.prodigy.net... > In article <4bzbk.55674$Jx.29614@pd7urf1no>, "Brad" <none@invalid.com> > wrote: > >> Natalya has been wrestling for 8 years ??
