    Guy Gets caught breaking into trailers, Killed

    George Zimmerman: 'I'm homeless and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder' | Mail Online Your Hero. Now he says he had a regular conversation with Martin, after he shot him! And - get this: he "thought the bullet only went through Martin's shirt, and got lost" Idiot knows less...

    'Logical fallacy'? I thought it was just the snark some people use when they got nothin, lol. ;)

    Quiting = no pay?

    He never bashed you. And he's right. If namecalling on a third grade level [that's what 'puerile' means, case you don't know how to use a dictionary] is how you defend yourself, you're going to get your butt kicked a lot. When Moot pointed out the discrepancies in your various comments, you...

    Veterns Bennie Udates

    Did you for even a second think they wouldn't? I'd like to know more about the Republicans who objected to paying for it by closing an offshore tax loophole, and the Democrats [including Governor Tim Kaine] who objected to requiring a social security number for children claimed for tax credits...

    Illinois government at work

    Isn't there some mention somewhere about it being government's job to 'promote the general welfare'? And aren't people healthier and happier when they find things to laugh and smile about? There's the answer. On a related note, I once saw a construction site with 7 miles of 1 lane - usually...

    Guy Gets caught breaking into trailers, Killed

    But the freedom from fear that LOSer desires is not what FDR promised, it's what a police state would be needed to enjoy. And I, for one, don't want that much 'security', thank you. Nuclear weapons didn't exist, but atomic bombs did, and they may as well have been nuclear, for all the...

    Don't mess with Ted

    I don't know much about the Israel/Palestine turf wars, because I can't even keep up with what happens in the US anymore, sigh. What I know is that what is 'right' doesn't change with the times. What changes is the willingness to admit the wrongs. That's how we advance society. [Well, that and...

    A cowardly murderer is released from jail.

    It's called "creative license" - both of you should look it up, lol. ;)

    If you don't have a sense of humor, you don't have any sense at all, lol. If you have any sense, you find out what it costs before commenting on the fiscal responsibility...:rolleyes:

    Don't mess with Ted

    I'm not "fixated" on the fighting, it's what I inferred Tom Brokaw meant, in the context you presented it. And what I admire about the FFs is not the fighting, but the system of government they created, that sought to keep 'fighting' on a verbal level: no bloodshed required. I like that very...

    Turtle: the fear LOSer referred to and the fear FDR referred to have been addressed in the same manner: reducing a country's ability to use the nuclear option on a macro scale, and reducing crime on the micro level by employing law enforcement. Both are about as successful as possible: we can...

    Night Driving Glasses

    I do the majority of driving at night, both by customers' needs and my own preference - I HATE rush hour traffic, lol. I do not wear any glasses [except the sun kind] but I notice that headlights are getting much brighter on new cars/trucks. Like the LED billboards & other signs, I think it's a...

    Don't mess with Ted

    Ya know, when doing something just because it's the right thing to do [even fighting, and risking death] is considered "the greatest", that's a really sad comment on our society. We should expect people to do the right thing, shouldn't we? The difference is that the founding fathers didn't have...

    Don't mess with Ted

    IMO, the best way to honor the sacrifices made [and I, for one, have read & continue to read about WW2, and am truly appreciative of the fact that we have never been bombed on a daily basis in our own homes] would be to work for peaceful solutions to disagreements. Killing people is a barbaric...

    Accident

    It's a hard thing to accept, but some questions have no answers. :( What I wonder is why, given all the publicity about the gridlocked roads in Atlanta, so many drivers in NC did the exact same thing this week, and gridlocked every city in the state. People are just nuts, that's all you can say.

    Quiting = no pay?

    I drove for Bolt a few years ago. When I left, they paid what was due, and there were no surprises on either side. I could go back tomorrow, if I wanted, but it just didn't fit for me. They are not in business to rip drivers off, ok? Listening to unsubstantiated chatter is a waste of time...

    That happens, who's going to run all the corporations on Wall Street until replacements are found?

    A cowardly murderer is released from jail.

    1) It matters not how many were or weren't offended, it's trolling if the intent was to offend. 2) Neither of the two victims you referred to as 'animals' were ever found guilty of any crime - and even had they been, their "crimes" in no way merits the description. Had they been sadistic child...

    The first two are attainable, the third is doubtful, and the fourth is flat out impossible. "Want", in this context, means food, shelter, medical care [not XBox and iPhone & Air Jordan shoes, lol], but "fear" is a state of mind that's comprised of perception. It can be highly irrational...
