Opposed Quotations | Page 4

I think condo conversions will continue to be a more feasible option for people looking to buy. As opposed to the higher priced high-rises, and with the median price for all condos continuing to rise, the value provided by conversions makes them more palatable for a lot of buyers.

PEOPLE are experience rich and theory poor. People who are busy doing things ? as opposed to people who are busy sitting around, like me, reading and having coffee in coffee shops ? don't have opportunities to kind of collect and organize their experiences and make sense of them.

People are getting to this place of understanding that their lifestyle choices actually do matter a whole lot as opposed to this notion that you live your life, come what may, and hope for a pill.

I'm still on West Coast time. So maybe I have a little jet lag or just up to this point for me I haven't really worked on, like, my 40 time. I haven't done too much focusing in that area, as opposed to just trying to gain weight and get bigger and stronger. And now this month I'll focus on my 40 time a little bit more than I have in the last month.

It definitely is not everyday business. This is just like one of those freak things, one of those 100-year floods. It's good to get a chance to help in the country as opposed to going overseas getting shot at.

I think this team is as good as Dick Cheney's shooting skills. This is a recycled Bush-Cheney political team that represents the policies that the vast majority of Californians are opposed to, whether it's Supreme Court nominees, whether it's the environment, whether it's education. I think it's foolish of Schwarzenegger to have brought in Bush-Cheney's campaign team.

I still think that we have a hesitance to talk about things racial. And I think we do it at our detriment. We go from incident to incident, and we have spikes in which race becomes something that we talk about, as opposed to talking about race in those less contentious times when I think we might make more progress.

I thought in the first half we were very tentative. We missed open shots, we missed free throws and it was just playing to the pace that they wanted as opposed to dictating what we wanted.

I think something that's developed from scratch will have a much better shot at taking on the desktop, as opposed to something that's got the age behind it that Linux does.

I think that when we're looking at things when we're right in the center of things, as opposed to being a bit unmoored from what's going on around us, we see things through a kind of dulling lens of convention, and there's something about extreme emotional experiences that gives us a heightened clarity, I think, of thought and of feeling.

It is challenging but the more positions you start to play and develop in as a player, the better you get and the more adaptable a player you can be to more teams. It always different when you play with your back to goal, as opposed to running at defenders. It is a challenge because for a long time you might not get the ball, but when you do, if you can put it in the back of the net, then you did your job.

I think the end of last season helped me, but here (at Ohio State) you have to compete with a lot of good defensive linemen, ... I could have started since my freshman year and still not have solidified my starting spot this year. I think I am more of an overachiever than opposed to a great football player. That's why I am more of a hustler, a player that runs to the ball.

It is hard to think, as I sit here, of examples of decisions that appear to be Gonzales making decisions on his own, as opposed to his status of defender of the administration and the White House. His role doesn't seem that much different than his role serving as White House counsel, only now he has a much larger staff.

It is an inconvenience, but what is the cost of those minutes opposed to the safety that is gained?

It is an insult to the person who has always opposed these non-vegetarian things.

I think the word is going to spread at how accommodating and easy it is to do things here, as opposed to New York City and other places.

I think they become a little more explosive in the passing game, just from a standpoint of experience. I mean, this guy's a three-year veteran as opposed to a rookie. He's seen more looks.

Our citizens never hesitate to take sides against one another, whether it's Democrats versus Republicans, Coke drinkers opposed to Pepsi enthusiasts or Yankee loyalists against Red Sox aficionados.

Our price per credit hour is about $110-$115 less than the state schools. So you go to a state institution and try to get into graduate school, it's probably about $350 per credit hour so you're talking about a thousand dollars per course as opposed to $690 per course that we have here. So we think we have a viable product and there is a viable market out there for our product. And we think we're doing the right thing. We're upholding the standards of the institution, just looks good all around.

I think I had an advantage studying with a female teacher, ... Most people who study with women as opposed to men have a little different concept of the voice. Women help you retrain the soft, high part of your voice.

I think I'm kind of attracted to the material more than the medium. I'm not opposed to doing a television show, though. I actually think there are a couple of good ones. And there is some terrible theater. Film is a very different kind of acting.

I still take my own lunches to work. That way I can control what I'm eating, as opposed to another doughnut.

I think had we disposed of Superior, it would've been eight (East Region teams) and two (West Region teams), then we would've been playing St. Olaf (12-9-5) on Saturday, as opposed to Superior (17-9-3).

It doesn't surprise me. Again, I'm not saying it doesn't surprise me because it is Tennessee. I am just not convinced that that sort of special treatment -- changing of grades, making sure kids are eligible as opposed to really educating them -- isn't going on at a lot more places than Tennessee. I don't think Tennessee is unique in that regard.

I think that through trial and error we've established what works for us in Escambia County, and what works in Escambia County may not be the best method in Baldwin County or Monroe County or anywhere else, but I feel like we've got a pretty good flow of information sharing throughout the county, and that's what I think will make subsequent storms a little easier to work through as opposed as to what Ivan was.

It is not just the BCCI that is opposing the Champions Trophy. The PCB has also opposed it through a letter to the ICC, saying that it does not want any tournaments, including the Champions Trophy, between four-yearly World Cups.

It gives you a lot more incentive when you're doing it with a group as opposed to doing it at home.

It can always get better. I think we're starting to communicate a lot better, especially this year as opposed to last. But it's a process, and as the season goes on you're going to see it get better and better, just because we're going to learn each other's tendencies more and more, and we're going to understand each other better and better.

I think it is very problematic and unfortunate that people who have been in Sweden for so long make proposals such as this that are so opposed to our intentions, when we are fighting for women's rights and the right to divorce.

Yeah, totally! I think you've nailed it! You know, I don't think SOULFLY sounds like SEPULTURA , myself. I think it's just that whole connection that people have with Max . I think it's just like a vibe thing with most fans. But I consider myself a fan of music first, and I agree with you. You know, I definitely think SOULFLY sounds like SOULFLY , and I think that SOULFLY is more of a groove-oriented band. As opposed to SEPULTURA , which was really thrashy and pretty much straight metal. I mean 'Roots' was a really groovy record, and half the songs on that were really groovy, but I think that that was a natural progression of the way that Max was writing at the time. And then, as opposed to the way we do stuff now.

The problem most people make with their media presence is they're trying to craft a media presence as opposed to just consistently publishing who they are.

We are disappointed that Will is leaving the Fire.

When we looked at the depth of talent on our Senior roster, this was simply not a realistic option.

We are interested in producing theater in places where people are. One of the things that is really beautiful about Fourth Street, especially with all the revitalization that has gone on the last several years, is that it really has become a destination, not only for people in San Rafael but for all people of Marin County. Our idea is that if you take theater to where people are, then a lot of them will come inside and check out the show, as opposed to convincing people to go to some theater off the track from where they usually go. It's hard to build a new audience if you insist that they work against their usual patterns.

We don't have good numbers on this, but the information we do have is a lot of the activity is from buyers who buy one to two or more properties over the course of a year or two. The majority of these folks are actively in the market to buy investment properties as opposed to people buying a one-off home to rent. They are serious residential investors.

I would let this play out as opposed to trying to be brave and buying here.

I would not be comfortable letting a contract if the governor opposed it. The governor's office provided a letter that they were quite satisfied with the existing board proceeding with the contract.

The American people rejected strict managed care in the late '90s. Government regulation, like the kind in other industrialized countries, is opposed by powerful industry forces and is not in the cards politically. So we're stuck with a bunch of halfway measures.

We have always been opposed to politicizing the human rights question, ... Practice has proved that confrontation cannot solve the problem.

We have always been strongly opposed to anything that would threaten the separate identities of the British football associations and that has not and will not change. The present set-up has been around, in our case, since 1873 and we have separate privileges within FIFA and UEFA. From a football perspective, that is more important than participation in an Olympic Games.

I was opposed to the deal but all my cabinet colleagues were in favour,

I was opposed to the New Right when it emerged throughout the English-speaking world in the 1980s.

My character on 'Orange is the New Black' is not one that requires being absolutely shredded with 5% body fat. But I wouldn't be opposed to doing that for a role one day.

My broad advice is to concentrate on individual issues as opposed to trying to predict where the market is going. Making market calls is of very little value whatsoever.

We aren't at all opposed to disciplining Microsoft, but we think a breakup is simply too harsh. We continue to believe that a more appropriate remedy would relate to behavioral changes, government changes and perhaps an economic hit.

When I think about the biggest studios in New York, they're owned by people that are not musicians or artists, and artists come in and spend their money there, and they'd rather do that, as opposed to getting the headache. So they pay someone else to get the headache.

Whether you're writing television or movies, at some point you're going to encounter a male executive or investor who's going to say, 'I don't like that woman. She's unlikable.' And often, it's literally for being a regular human woman as opposed to an attracting human woman.

You always get higher support for things like 'military action,' because that could just mean bombing, as opposed to sending troops or going to war.
