    Unbelievable! Just

    Agreed - we're on the same page with all that. However, right now Gander Mtn has certain models of the Sig P238 ON SALE for $649.99 - others at $800 regular price! Gander Mtn ? We Live Outdoors | Free Shipping Over $50 I passed on one that was priced around $500 last fall, kicking myself now...

    Unbelievable! Just

    I was in Gander Mountain the other day and one of the salesmen behind the counter was telling a young female customer that all a .22 is good for is "pi**ing somebody off"; of course she knew nothing about guns and he was trying to sell her a Sig P238 for about $600. Of course he's as dumb as she...

    This article by Charles Krauthammer offers the clearest picture yet offered about the conflict in Gaza.

    Sounds Like Israel Has Had Enough...

    It might help to actually read the transcript. This is not bland reporting of the facts - it's editorializing, and it starts when he says "I don't think...". It's obvious that "people in this part of the world" translates to "Palestinians", and he's offering his opinion that he "thinks" the US...

    Sounds Like Israel Has Had Enough...

    It might tell us that Hamas in Gaza is getting blown all to h*ll, with civilian casualties all around available for the usual photographs and videos. BTW, when did the mainstream media develop a bias towards Israel?

    Sounds Like Israel Has Had Enough...

    Probably the same poor little guys that were caught on video celebrating in the streets after the 9/11 attacks. The cold hard fact is that during war there will be civilian casualties, and a lot of these civilians are not only victims of the actions of the same Hamas terrorist organization they...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    That stuff must be taught in the school of asshattery to which you referred recently. On the other hand, more info about conditions in Central America continues to leak out:

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    The point I was making is that the ad can very easily be interpreted as offering $6k for one child, and that article cited isn't the only one to see it that way. It's safe to say the vague wording is not unintentional. It would be hard to count the ways this program is ripe for fraud, and no...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Reich is an academic - a theoretician who developed himself inside the bubbles of college campuses and think tanks, then moved to government administration, always avoiding the harsh realities of the private sector and real-world experience. Sounds a lot like Obama.

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Evidently there's money somewhere to bring out our big-heartedness and decency. Ads are running in certain local newspapers offering $6000/mo TAX FREE for families to take in some of these illegal "refugees". One small condition - they have to be over 12 years old. But what big-hearted liberal...

    ...of the random rocket attacks coming from Hamas terrorists who hide behind civilian Palestinian women and children in Gaza while shooting at Israeli civilians. Netanyahu seems determined not to let them off the hook this time and give them an opportunity during the false pretense of cease-fire...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Murdoch isn't the only billionaire with a holier-than-thou message about immigration reform; there's also Gates, Buffett and Adelson offering their self-serving opinions: And speaking of unpleasantries, some additional insight on the train pictured in the article on "lifeless, dead bodies" (are...

    I Wanna Hijack a Thread

    Good point. There are poor, starving children living all over the world - Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana, Sudan (pick any African country), India, Haiti, the list goes on and on. Why stop with only those in Central America? All we need is for some corrupt govt - using the foreign aid money we give them...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Since you didn't provide the link to El Universal (although it's in the article), here it is - the translation option has to be clicked - for anyone that might be interested to read and draw their own conclusions.

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Mexico is indeed "a wretched hive of scum and villainy", but one thing their govt does control is their borders; they have some of the most stringent immigration regulations in the world. However, they have found an area of flexibility and accommodation when it comes to illegal immigrants coming...

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    Try telling that to a production manager in most any factory in the country. It sounds good in theory, but in most cases it doesn't work in the real world. It might work in garment sweatshops or with construction work like roofing crews or bricklayers, but in most of today's factories...

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    Finally, a post with some specific examples. Personally, I'd like for someone to provide some specific examples of jobs in today's factories where communication with co-workers in English would not be necessary to perform the job effectively on a continual basis. Granted, there might be some...

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    In most right-to-work states employees can be fired with or without cause. However, the employer better be careful applying this policy to women, minorities, the obese, anyone over 40, the handicapped or disabled, and anyone with red hair:rolleyes:

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    "For factory workers, not so much"??? That's absolutely absurd - the necessity to be able to communicate effectively in the operation of a production facility should be blindingly obvious to anyone that's ever been around a factory, but I'll offer one example why and it's one we should all be...
