Last I heard, it still isn't legal to kill someone for "messing with" you - though if Texas has changed that, I wouldn't be totally shocked, I guess.

If "purposely sowing hatred, bigotry, racism, misogyny [we'll wait while you look that one up] ...between others" is trolling, then calling George Zimmerman 'honorable' and Trayvon Martin & the unnamed victim in the attempted trailer break in death 'animals' is Trolling with a capital T.

Clearly in favor of the liberty to make provocative & insinuating comments, and to ignore any request for clarification. Also to ignore unwelcome questions of any kind. Commonly known as "he can dish it out, but he can't take it" kind of personality.

Sometimes, I could swear that "The Honorable George Zimmerman" [gag] has found his new career: ghostwriting for Brisco. It all makes sense now. ;)

As to the school of thought that having more credentials &/or equipment is always an advantage, here's a 'devil's advocate' viewpoint: some carriers will 'hold' such drivers/trucks [without the drive's knowledge] against the possibility of needing them for a customer. It's great if such a...

I still hadn't got my head around the statement you made several times about "justice being freedom from crime" when I read the one about the "two kinds of people". Seriously, what planet do you live on, where either [much less both!] of those statements is true? :confused:

Libra: you've had quite an intro to expediting, and also to how "he said/she said" is a very bad way to resolve disputes. Because all that matters is what's in writing, and you're not even sure about that. The guy who wanted you to go to work said "Don't worry about it" and you didn't. When you...

I'm still wondering: why is it not the owners' responsibility to remove the abandoned buildings? Why can the banks, developers, corporations, et al, just walk away and leave the mess for someone else? I didn't include homeowners, because lenders should hold a portion of money paid for escrow...

What you can afford has nothing to do with skin color, and everything to do with $. It would seem odd for Trader Joe's [or any upscale place] to want to build where their customer base is thin, but I guess they're banking [literally] on the aftereffects: more upscale retail, more "yuppies"...

Gentrification may make it better for some, but it'd be those who can afford to live elsewhere, not for those who have lived their all their lives. They just find they can no longer afford to live there, and after that, no one cares where they go, just so they go somewhere else. Housing for...

Everywhere I go in Detroit, the crumbling buildings [homes and commercial] belong to private businesses, or banks, who just abandoned them. Same for every other city, it's just worse in Detroit. Private enterprise fails, walks away, leaving buildings to become eyesores. People get foreclosed...

1) Yes, some carriers would, esp in a cargo van - that's why I suggested you call some recruiters. 2) Impossible to answer. Depends on too many variables, some you control [expenses, driving habits, maintenance] some you don't [loads offered, insurance rates, weekly deductions] to even make an...

Did I say I mind the namecalling? :p JK! Actually, I do mind it. I'd like to see opinions discussed with some civility, as far as possible. The whole "Merica! Love it or leave it!" irritates the bejeebers outta me, as I see patriotism in a different light. It's not insisting we are the best, but...

Hi, neighbor! If you're not in too big a hurry, [and this is a slooow time for expedite], you should attend an 'EO University' seminar. They're extremely informative, and fun, and , oh yeah: free, lol. Click on the banner at the top of your screen, there's one in Cleveland in May. Until then...

It doesn't mean the same thing: I know some sincere Christians, and others who wrap themselves in the Bible as protective coloration for some truly misplaced beliefs of superiority over others: women, gays, people of different color/beliefs/origins. All Christians are no more the same than all...

The namecalling is an admission that reasonable evidence & argument is nonexistent. To paraphrase: use 'em if ya got 'em.

If a potential employer says "paychecks may be delayed due to large or unexpected business expenses", that's your cue: run - fast and far. He's telling you that you may not get paid when it's due, what else do you need to hear: that he may need to borrow money from you, now & then?

I would not be willing to risk injury [to myself or anyone else, like bystanders] or to risk escalating a dangerous situation, just to prevent a theft. This is what bank and store clerks are taught to do, because the money and/or stuff is replaceable.

Did you miss the part about taking reasonable precautions? I've been in some of the worst parts of the worst cities in the lower 48, and I don't hesitate to get out of the truck in the middle of the night [in a well lighted truckstop, or WalMart] I just don't let it be a major big deal, because...

Protecting their employer's best interests? By exposing the employer to the strong possibility of a lawsuit, and themselves to arrest & imprisonment? Not seeing how that would help anything... It wasn't necessary to apprehend the thief - it's not their job to do that. They did it because they...
