He isn't admitting guilt. He is merely saying he is not going to fight the USADA in court anymore. So the USADA - who can ban him and strip him of his titles without any due process and without proving their case, will "win." In it's history only one athlete has ever successfully defended themselves against the USADA. Their process is bullshit and it is in fact a witch hunt against Armstrong. The "evidence" they have is all witness testimony - mostly from former U.S. Postal riders, many of whom have already been caught cheating (Landis, etc.). So who knows what sorts of deals these folks worked out with the USADA to rat out Armstrong? Say what you want about the guy, but his foundation has raised $500 million for cancer research. It's sad, unfortunately, that in professional cycling there isn't a level playing field. The list of TdF winners who have been caught or admitted doping is very, very long, dating back at least until 1975 when steroids were popular. The wiki page on Doping at the TdF is astounding. Check out the top then finishers in each TdF since 1998 and the allegations or evidence of doping: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_at_the_Tour_de_France About half-way down the page. Pro-cycling is all about cheating IMHO. It would seem almost impossible for Armstrong to have beat all these cheaters 7 times in a row without cheating himself. But the fact remains - no one has actually proven it beyond a reasonable doubt in my eyes.

Yer a pleasure to play with Rusty - thanks for hanging out with us.

I used to work at a circuit board manufacturing company. The board would be assembled in layers with fiberglass between them. My job was to put them in vacuum sealed steel boxes and place those boxes in an oven. The top rows of the oven were so high you had to get on a step ladder to load them, and the boxes weighed around 80 pounds. Once done, then you had to remove the super hot boxes (the heat of the ovens basically melted the fiberglass to bond the layers together). The boards would have a jagged melted fiber glass edge, so then you had to take them to this other room where there was a diamond bladed circuit saw to cut off all the jagged edges, and a beveling tool to bevel the edges. The room itself was about 5'x8' with no ventilation. You would come out of it covered head to toe in fiberglass dust. We were given dust masks thankfully, but that didn't help too much. After that, the boards had to be de-oxidized. So you would load them in these wire racks, and wheel them on a cart into this chemical room where you bathed them in open vats of different strengths of acid - sulfuric and hydrochloric. You were given a pair of rubber gloves for this task. That's it. So... I would come home from work covered in fiber glass dust. God knows how much of that shit I inhaled. And once I washed my clothes, which needed to be done after every shift, all the fresh new holes would show up where acid got on them. I had that job for about 6 months. Probably went through a dozen pairs of jeans and 4 pairs of shoes. Seemed like itched for 2 years after. I worked 3 12 hour shifts per week with a 4 day weekend so it worked well with my 2nd job - which was working at a paintball field as a site manager running games, etc. I made a whopping $8.40/hr at the job (in 1992). I ended up quitting not because of the OSHA-nightmare working conditions, but because I had this asshole for a boss that acted like that job was the only thing I would ever be able to accomplish in life. I'd sure like to pay him a visit now. Fucker. The only good thing about it was that at least I got to listen to Twins games while working, and I worked basically alone so no one bugged me.

You didn't conjugate that verb correctly SOB. I am sure you meant to say "I'm embarassing now." Although why you would add the "now" is beyond me.

While you are waiting get a couple more beers already!

Welcome to the forums. If you ignore the following people: Hxtr PimpedOutPete You will get along just fine here.

I second.

Hmm... I think you are onto something there. This expectation in publicly traded companies to constantly have increased revenue run rates year over year, which has led to record profits for corporations even during our global recession has been great for shareholders, but not employees. I don't have any problem with greed personally. But if someone is a hard worker for you and helps you realize record profits, maybe you ought to share the love a little.

Welcome Death!

Got a pic of this bad boy on the farm I am hunting for the early bow season in WI. Hope I get a crack at him!

This post was an epic fail because you didn't mention Llama. I am truly ashamed of you. FU.

You must be saying thank you to yourself a lot Deano.

Killing a bunny hopper is easy. You just aim where they are going to land. I also "bunny hop" and I get irritated by people whining about it too. I guess I can just start whining about campers, snipers, sneaky fuckers like Ripple and Drama, and everyone else who kills me. Oh wait... I already do that. I mean hell, I got so frustrated by it I made a bind to respond to any whine by any person. What has always separated XI servers - since the COD2 CTF days - is the servers are about fast game play. Not about "realism." It irritates me to no end when people whine about unrealistic aspects of the GAME. If you don't like fast game play, then go find a realism server where you can poke your head out from a corner over and over for an hour, get shot by a teammate, and spend the next hour watching everyone else poke their heads out over and over for an hour.

Getting my fishing gear in order for a week of chasing muskies. I will be blissfully unaware of the Politics forum the entire time. FU HXTR.

As I have been known to say, "Fuck the damage deposit!"

Last year I hunted public land near Wyocena, WI mostly. This year I am hunting a farm out by Elroy, WI. I spend the gun season stomping around in Northern WI by Park Falls. Don't see too many deer up there. And every year I also hunt SE Minnesota gun season (shotgun). My mom and dad live in SE MN.

fu hxtr i hope your new computer case has mouse turds in it

Starts Sept 15th here. I am anticipating the best archery season ever for myself. I secured access to some private land here in WI. This will be my first time ever deer hunting on private land, not counting one trip I took to IL a few years back. I will spend opening weekend in MN with my dad (same weekend, Sept 15) then I am taking that whole week off to hunt the rest of it in WI. Hoping to put a couple of doe in the freezer as soon as possible and then focus on a new wall decoration.

fu hxtr! you goat fucker!

NHL Hockey

omg that's funny

That was almost as fun to watch as it was to play. You and your damn rocket.

Personally, I think the mod currently on Chicago is awesome. I agree that the Aug doesn't seem quite right to me from a "look and feel" perspective. I like the new model and the site picture is okay for me, but of the available assault weapons, I prefer the Scar on the new server. Just feels better from a sound and visuals perspective to me (note that I use both weapons silenced). Maybe it's the fatter silencer on the Aug, but for some reason it just seems like it's harder to aim for me. Also, without stopping power, it seemed like I had many occasions where I hit someone a couple of times and they didn't die. With the Scar, I never seemed to have this problem. These are just my impressions. I concur with Jah - I would really like to see a good shotty back in the game. Preferably the double barrel. I like the SPA but his criticism is spot on. One last thing - can the predator AGM see people who have stealth on (i.e. their little red squares)?
