Flying van: I understand the disinclination to live under total government control, and luckily, so did the men who founded the US. Power corrupts, absolutely. But having said that, I can't go along with those who bash the government at every opportunity, either. Without the government's...

A 'mistake' in not knowing the info was classified [if they really didn't know it, which seems highly unlikely for Rove, but it couldn't be proven that they knew] in the one part does not cancel out the intent to cause harm, which they definitely did. The intent is the difference, if you haven't...

Yes, it do seem like that, don't it? ;) So here's the official answer, courtesy of Terry O'Connell, who knows everything - or at least where to find it fast, which is maybe even better, lol. I hate to disappoint; however, a DOT Q&A interpretation of the regulation is as follows: Do telephone...

Freedom of religion means that if you choose to subscribe to the "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today" promises, you are free to do so. Billions have, in spite of not a single one ever demonstrating receipt of payment due, or evidence of promises kept. I can't 'believe' in what I...

I just read of an interesting study that might shed another ray of light: the 'message' voiced by men's mags [Playboy, Maxim, Field & Stream {?!}] is basically that everyone is having sex. The message voiced by women's mags is that sex must be consensual, and women should never engage because...

Maybe you should reread that topic, because we discussed the difference between a genuine mistake and a deliberate decision to exact revenge. Unless you know of some evidence that this was other than a mistake? :confused:

Maybe you'd be taken more seriously if you started proofreading and "catched" mistakes before posting - just sayin....;)

So who introduced the press conference and Allen West into the discussion, hmmmm? I'll cop to Stacy Dash, because: Benghazi! Ok, seriously: because something about Allen West and Fox just seems to make her a natural [if there's anything natural about her at all :rolleyes:] companion.

Having raised a couple of kids to adulthood, I really feel sorry for parents like the one in this story, because I know there are some 'kids' who simply cannot be 'taught'. Trained, yes, to respond out of fear, but that's not learning, it's self preservation, and the 'lessons' don't get...

Why would the initial investment have to be huge? It wouldn't be done all at once, just as repairs/replacements are needed. Those use time & money too, so the disruption would be minimal, and the investment would be well worth it, IMO. As for the government, well, what can I say? It's not...

I put one in my cargo van, found it in the 'Scratch & Dent' section of someplace in Indiana, where they do a lot of conversion van work. The seats fit on the base already in the van, not sure about a Sprinter. They were kind of surprised that I wanted to pick it up instead of shipping it, but it...

Um, technically, the log never ends - it's 24/7/365. I'm sure you meant to ask whether the 14 hour workday starts when the phone rings, and the answer is no, because it is less than 6 minutes, and there's no way I'm logging it. :p

Of course - because wheel chocks don't roll, lol. ;)

The repeated references to his "enemies" is pretty chilling, when you know he's referring to "people who have sex"...... "If I can't, then no one else should" - what a miserable, twisted attitude to have, even if you don't mean it as literally as he did.

When they speed read or skim in order to make it appear they're not reading it, mistakes happen - to everyone, every day. But she didn't say Michelle Obama "has the power to sign", she said Michelle Obama "signed". A vastly different thing, and a simple enough mistake - unless you're desperate...

If the article on Allen West is a 'jagged pill', it would be for those who support this nutjob - it didn't hurt me a bit. [I've never had a bad time, laughing.] And yes, the line about "God sent" was hilarious: he doesn't believe in coincidences, so therefore, it must have been God? Allen West...

Rove told the grand jury that three days later, he had a phone conversation with Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper and, in an effort to discredit some of Wilson's allegations, informally told Cooper that he believed Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, though he never used her name. "He never...

Yep: the insurance carrier. They get to write the rules, and we get to follow them, whether they make any sense or not. Helmets and seat belts are proof that it doesn't have to make a bean's worth of difference in preventing an accident to become federal law. The insurance lobby has serious juice.

Dad charged for forcing teen to carry landscape stone "Military style punishment" is what works best for the military's goals, but parents have [or should] a different outcome to work towards. Teaching a child the wrong in spending too much time playing video games, at the expense of more...

Hey geffrey, if you've been reading here for that long, you know I have a proofreader's eye and warped sense of humor, [bad combo, lol] and what caught my attention is the number of years of membership vs the number of posts. Someone with your experience probably has some good stuff to share, I...
