NY YANKEES SUCK! WE PWNED YOU LAST NIGHT! :sniper:

In other news, Boston has weird streets patterns because they were originally cow paths, and the cows went where ever the hell they wanted.

Meh. I don't follow baseball, but Im pretty sure its really just about money. They should call it moneyball.

Cow paths? What a wierd way to design a city, it sounds like something they would do in india, as not to disturb the cows.

actually the reason why the streets are completely incomprehensible is because Boston didnt have a city architect for a long time. So people just did their own thing, and then someone decided to put it all together. As opposed to say Washington DC, where the city was planned, thats why it's so tourist friendly

At the upcomming (or did it pass?) DNC they were going to put protesters in small sections of fence with mesh roofing so that they wouldnt be in front of the building

the zones were blocks away.

obviously following in the footsteps of our president. God this makes me so angry, why do the democrats sink to the same level as the administration??? but back on topic, Boston and how much it sucks, and how i need ideas of what to do there next year.

It just as apalling when democrats do it. Man, What is happening to my country? When I was little I really believed that we had the best way of doing thing around, but since we can't stick to that way, we have nothing. Maybe its time for that revolution that the founding fathers said was our right and duty.

i used to live in boston. the only thing i loved about it was the clubs, and the pot. some of the best pot i have smoked in my life. that and everything worth going to was a short walk from the "T". and ok the homless people were sometimes annoying, but soem times you got to see one flip out and start swinging at random people. that was pretty sweet too.

So about the "free speech zone":

The delegates have one entrance, and they are all forced to walk by these screaming protesters who are fenced in with barbed wire. Anyone think that the term "free speech zone" is a little oxymoronical?
