Paragraphs (2,4,7) raise questions about the conclusion, but the questions are ignored rather then refuted. Paragraph 3 is almost a non-sequitur, stating that comparisons between artists from different times are difficult, then making a point about Amy Winehouse.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:01:44 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Benitez Burns His Bridges</title><link>http://epltalk.disqus.com/benitez_burns_his_bridges/#comment-2213625</link><description>I think this post should be retitled "Paul Bestall has a moan about liverpool"</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 02 Jul 2008 15:53:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Is The Premier League Becoming A Home For Mercenaries? | EPL Talk</title><link>http://epltalk.disqus.com/is_the_premier_league_becoming_a_home_for_mercenaries_epl_talk/#comment-2213846</link><description>I have to agree with the first comment. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'd add that we, the fans, are as much at fault as anyone. We pay a lot of money to see our team WIN.  There is fan loyalty, but any look at the comparative income of teams (in any sport) would be enough to see that teams that win, make the most money.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;That drive to win trumps loyalty and it becomes a matter of economics. While loyalty would be nice, you can't really fault players for looking after their own interests.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:36:21 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Poll: Landon Donovan Heading To The EPL? | EPL Talk</title><link>http://epltalk.disqus.com/poll_landon_donovan_heading_to_the_epl_epl_talk/#comment-2214410</link><description>Wow, there sure are a lot of Landon Donovan haters out there.  :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It'd be interesting to see, but would a premiership side really sign him considering his previous experience in Germany?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:28:39 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Forget A Four-Horse Race, It Will Be Man United And Chelsea At The Top Again</title><link>http://epltalk.disqus.com/forget_a_four_horse_race_it_will_be_man_united_and_chelsea_at_the_top_again/#comment-2214616</link><description>I think JM hits the mark - both in terms of analysis  and conclusion.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; It's easy to forget that Arsenal was at the top of the table for a large part of last season.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also, I'm not sure if I'd still class Scholes and Giggs with the other "major" threats listed.

They're like listing to the drunk guy next to you at a bar while you watch a game.  90% nonsense, but if you focus, you can normally figure out what he's getting at. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think the central points being made are 1) English players aren't getting enough playing time in the Premier League to develop and 2) that England needs to invest in a national training academy. I think they are both good points.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The rest of the article is a mix of nonsense and unsubstantiated assertions. Some personal highlights:&lt;br&gt;+ "Americans prefer team sports they can dominate or manipulate the rules to their advantage."&lt;br&gt;(...or, because of its historic geographic isolation, America developed its own unique set of team sports, that remain its most popular)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;+ "Moreover in the rugged individualistic culture that is Americana, Tiger Woods is hailed as a national hero while our footballers are anonymous to most."&lt;br&gt;(...or, Tiger Woods is hailed as a hero because he is, possibly, the best player of all time in a popular sport, compared to American footballers who are above-average in a locally-not-very-popular sport. See Michael Jordan for a counter example)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;+"United States who has never accomplished in any internationally competitive team sport what England did".&lt;br&gt;(...if you selectively choose only internally competitive team sports we haven't accomplished anything in - i.e. soccer, cricket, rugby. I think the point is really that we haven't won the World Cup - and that's the only internationally competitive team sports competition that most people care about)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;+ "In addition today’s footballer is mentally weaker than those of the 1966 England team"&lt;br&gt;(...if you generalize the thousands of footballers, none of whom you've met, into a single caricature)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And my personal favorite, from the subsequent comments:&lt;br&gt;"They produce real sportsman who understand self sacrifice. Going through what England went through in World War II gives the Anglos a perspective we Americans will never have."&lt;br&gt;(...eat that France!)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:54:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Best of 2006 so Far - Part 2</title><link>http://undomondo.disqus.com/best_of_2006_so_far_part_2/#comment-2981570</link><description>It's great... i love this music! :P</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Jul 2006 18:18:07 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Asuna</title><link>http://undomondo.disqus.com/asuna/#comment-2981579</link><description>imprOrchestral-japan-children music... a sweet crazy!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 17 Jul 2006 18:21:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Group Vows to Boost Parental Involvement in Schools, Stem the Flow of Blacks into Prison</title><link>http://iowaindependent.disqus.com/group_vows_to_boost_parental_involvement_in_schools_stem_the_flow_of_blacks_into_prison/#comment-1664787</link><description>&lt;strong&gt;Confession&lt;/strong&gt; I have tertiary syphilis.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 06 May 2008 11:01:49 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Beauprez Keeps Digging Own Grave</title><link>http://coloradoindependent.disqus.com/beauprez_keeps_digging_own_grave/#comment-1669975</link><description>&lt;strong&gt;The bottom line is election day...&lt;/strong&gt; I am confident Ritter would not have leveled that charge unless he had good reason to believe it was true.&amp;nbsp; But politics is quirky; just because it seems like this will help Ritter, don't count on it.&amp;nbsp; We've got to stay focused and get out the vote.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Oct 2006 17:15:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Living and Dying in Colorado Without Referendum I</title><link>http://coloradoindependent.disqus.com/living_and_dying_in_colorado_without_referendum_i/#comment-1669987</link><description>&lt;strong&gt;Afraid of the slippery slope?&lt;/strong&gt; Why is there all this hysteria about Ref.

Hrm... Let's start with you.  From what you've said you've written studies of good Christians that include Anglicans (Lee), Calvinists (Jackson), and Catholics (one of your two minor Northerners).  It seems to me that however you define a good Christian, you can't reconcile all of these people as being 'good.'  For instance, during the Civil War, a Calvinist would dispute the Papal authority the Catholic would claim.  You are looking at Christianity in a way that is completely ahistorical to serve your own present needs.  With your approach the best you can possibly say is 'they stayed true to their own beliefs.'  Of course, this is what most people do.  It also encourages perverse interpretations of history and religion.  One, in the fashion that you do, might claim that Osama bin Laden was a good Muslim, and that his terrorism was just politics and did not detract from him being a positive role model.  Shame on you for claiming to be a historian."&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 15 Dec 2006 12:07:12 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Religion And The Civil War</title><link>http://cwmemory.disqus.com/religion_and_the_civil_war/#comment-17053153</link><description>&lt;p&gt;This, all in all, seems to be a quite moderate response.

First, most houses (where I am at least) use natural gas for heat anyway. Trust me, we're feeling the pinch as prices rise, but this is certainly a more efficient use of natural gas than a centralized power plant. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;And sorry for the confusion relating to the &lt;a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/05/generating_elec.php" rel="nofollow"&gt;Power Gen&lt;/a&gt; system that we blogged about a while back. Both are Micro-CHPs, but these run on internal combustion as opposed to a sterling engine, so they're more expensive, and use more gas, but produce two or three times more power. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hadn't read that story when I wrote this one, thanks for pointing it out. &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 18 Nov 2006 14:11:11 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 25% of America&amp;apos;s Energy Could Come From 100 Million Acres of Land</title><link>http://treehuggercomments.disqus.com/25_of_americaaposs_energy_could_come_from_100_million_acres_of_land/#comment-17488152</link><description>&lt;p&gt;As for changing the US ecosystem, any time you fly over the middle of the country, it's pretty obvious that that's already been done. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Agreed that the tractor is misleading, and I apologize for the use of the word Rangeland, which here in Montana, means semi-arid land that isn't any good for crops.

Bilandic was also lied to about snow removal efforts by his ward bosses who also hated him so every night he was on TV telling people that the media was making up stories. I remember coming home after a 2 to 3 hour trip each night and seeing his dour puss on the news telling me that I had imagined the crawl home. I wanted to reach through the TV but used the ballot instead. Daley will be punished for his arrogance in the next election but the punishment will be that he only receives 70% of the vote instead of his normal 80% of the 30% of registered voters who even bother to vote. Chicago voters are scared to death about the unknown without Daley. The common refrain is always "Chicago will be another Detroit" I no longer live in Chicago but work there and live close enough to be affected by his majesty's whims.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 25 Mar 2009 11:30:48 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Chicago&amp;#8217;s toxic political brew</title><link>http://capitolfaxcom.disqus.com/chicago8217s_toxic_political_brew/#comment-18218572</link><description>I agree that Chicago will not become another Detroit but it's a handy boogyman for many of the masses who may be getting tired of Daley's tricks.The city related blogs are full refernces to Detroit and consequences that come with it.

Anyone who thinks that the four mopes currently under arrest are the only ones involved are sadly mistaken. Problems have been going on for years. I'm not surprised at the lack of action by the GA as I believe Funeral Directors as well as some local authorities have had a hand in this. Some well known names/organizations may be made public. I would expect once the media gets tired of interviewing grieving relatives and the breathless reports about whether Michele Obama's father is or isn't there, things will quietly go away. Too bad about Michele Smith or Michele Jones whose relatives did wind up in the bone pile. Looks to be more Black on Black crime. Does anyome really care once the cameras are off?&lt;br&gt;As others have said, enforce the current laws.

Cheap server price and no CAL's required.  When they did their first upgrade, out came the CAL's. They get you commited to their product then put the screws to you later when you can't back out very easily.  Its also another example of how Microsoft's business style is steal other people's ideas then put them out of business.  Typical of Microsoft, they may try to look benevolent but look closely at the eyes and you can see they're red with yellow pupils.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Hank</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 03 Apr 2006 16:36:00 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
