You don't seem to understand freedom any more than Marxism.

That's precisely the argument used by segregationists and racists who didn't believe black people should be treated the same as whites. [Everybody needs someone to look down on, right?] The American people didn't buy it then, and we're not buying it now, either. In a clash between beliefs and...

Re: Looking for OTR striaght truck job-18 years experience RF: if you are set on driving OTR, you may as well begin planning to get a CDL, because it will be required. Unless you want to drive an under 26K truck, and the ones that go OTR are generally run by sketchy outfits.

It sure wasn't directed at me - I would rather be homeless than pay $1000 rent every month. :eek:

Those 'shaming' sites don't seem to be having much effect: most days, every 3rd driver I see is doing something [texting? looking at movie/restaurant reviews? updating facebook?] with their phone. They may be 'smart' phones, but they're in the hands of some dumb people. Worse is how the car...

Reading about Rick Scott, & HCA is absolutely nauseating. This cretin is admired and held up as an example of a "successful" businessman! [Only if the business involves cheating, lying, and fraud.] Equally disgusting is the current series in the Miami Herald about hospitals charging 'trauma...

Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri Irrelevant Repetitive Disrespectful Moronic and OFFENSIVE. Why am I offended? Because I resent having intelligent conversation derailed, curtailed, and ended by such comments. They serve no other purpose, do...

If I'm at fault, not having a camera won't get me off, either, so I may as well protect myself against what I can't control: other drivers. The hit & run aspect hadn't even occurred to me, but it's a good idea - thanks. Do insurance carriers offer discounts for using them?

Cleveland's not so bad, it's kind of relaxing to exit a parking lot from whichever driveway is closest, instead of doing complicated geometry to figure out which exit is best for making a left turn, lol. ;)

Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri Well cripes, there was a Sgt already in there, also suited up, so what's the point of rank, if you can't delegate?! :D On topic: what would be the point of a travel ban, when people may be shedding the virus...

Um, what brand is it? I like the second camera, placing it where the blind side might prevent me from seeing what happens out of my field of vision. What all is involved in installation?

Re: Should the US impose a travel ban to and from Ebola-stricken nations of West Afri Well, we know LOS hasn't, or he'd know better than to say that Ebola isn't an enemy the Army has the training or experience to deal with. LOS: ask the people at Fort Dettrick! As RLENT pointed out, that's...

I stopped there twice last week: inbound, they asked what I was hauling. I said "Cabinets" and they not only looked at the BOL, they made a copy of it. [Never noticed them do that before.] Outbound, they didn't even ask, just waved me through. Weird!

The articles state the semi was going 65-100 mph during the chase. Want to bet it's used as another justification for mandating speed limiters? :eek:

How many were stolen? [Detroit humor - but I'd say the same if you lived in Cleveland, lol] ;)

^ Me neither, lol.^

I drove for Panther for awhile, [an ex Con, like Turtle & Moot] but I never filed for the class action suit - figured $1.09 would be about all I could expect, cause I didn't stay long. El Gato Negro was not a lucky one for me.

I've pretty much decided to get one, but my head is swimming from reading details & user comments - mostly 4 wheelers. Anyone have advice on brands, features, installation? I don't want all the bells & whistles, but not the el cheapo version, either - midrange would be about right, I think...

I don't have a flashy fastmobile - but when I'm with either of my daughters, I ride in one, lol. The Kia is my son in law Ryan's, it has trophies, sponsors, and is a sweet lowrider. The GTO is my daughter's fiance Chuck's. He's owner of Big 3 Racing, so it's fast - really fast - 9 or 10...

OK, that went right over my head, [but when you're 5'2", what doesn't?] but I bet it's like the novel QBXII, where the plaintiff who sued for slander wins, and the jury awards him what his reputation is worth: 1 cent. Whatever, it's nice to see something bring you guys out of the woodwork, lol.
