    Condoning religious violence?

    It's a tossup as to which person is the bigger "doofus" - Zombie Mohammed or Judge Martin. The difference however, being Zombie Mohammed is exercising his 1st amendment rights to be a doofus in public. The larger point here that's not discussed is the growing tolerance of certain muslims...

    Knowledgeable business operators like yourselves will do fine - others with less experience might get confused by the incomplete information displayed on this proxy of the Selectus board. The large carriers don't post their trucks here because they don't need to and some carriers don't because...

    There are considerable legal implications involved with marriage, especially in today's society. Benefits, inheritances, taxes, insurance coverages - really there are too many to list. The feds have to be involved because these legal issues can get entangled in different states, and all kinds...

    That's exactly right - to a point. What you're seeing in a certain area - 50 mile radius of Atlanta for example - is the number of Alliance trucks in that area, and the info comes straight from the Sylectus board. Could be a tad bit misleading for the random customer looking for a Load 1 truck...

    That concept is the key that opens the magic box, especially in the expedite business. In a perfect world the carrier has a customer base - and usually a group of key customers - that will call them exclusively whenever they have a critical shipment; in those cases they're concerned with...

    Well said - consider the "LIKE" button to have been pressed, since we don't have that feature any more.

    It's not worth taking at all. Obviously, the Yahoo Contributor Network will let any nut case sound off regardless of their level of incoherence.

    Half Mast

    That would be a bit more understandable considering that Davis was a true role model, especially for minority entertainers in the 1950s and 60s. He had a lengthy and exemplary career, served in the military in WW2 and died of old age. Compare his life with those of the brain dead junkies who...

    It shouldn't come as a surprise to see Gov. Christie ordering the flags at half staff for an occasion like this during an election year. Wonder if the flags were similarly flown in their respective states upon the deaths of Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, John Belushi - all of whom...

    Truly the end is near.......lmao!!!

    Where are the Log Cabin Republicans on this deal? One would think that with the proper spinning this situation could be salvaged if the sheriff was well-liked in his county. Of course this isn't Boston, but Barney Frank and his boyfriend were caught in 1989 running a homosexual brothel out of...

    There are a lot of expedite companies that are marketing themselves now as one-stop transportation sources. They not only offer standard expedite services, but also air charter, air freight - domestic and international, truckload, LTL, flatbed, and maybe even carrier pigeon. Of course they only...

    Seriously...He Believes this Tripe?(Santorum)

    Actually, it's ALL about the church, their doctrine and whether or not the government has the power to dictate to any church what their doctrine will be. There are two outrageous impositions of power being attempted by Obama in this so-called "insurance mandate": (1) forcing the Catholic church...

    If the retail customer knows your expedite company might have tractor trailer equipment, they might pass along a T/L or LTL load offer to you. From there it gets posted on the load board in an attempt to cover it for them. Most likely the retail customer is offering it to other sources as well...

    Panetta: Israel May Strike Iran This Spring

    Of course no one knows the exact details of all the locations for their nuclear facilities, but some are more critical than others. We do know that the U.S. is providing Israel more of the enhanced versions of the 30K lb bunker busters that would supposedly be effective against most of these...

    Panetta: Israel May Strike Iran This Spring

    The problem of our own making was Jimmy Carter's refusal to support the Shah, and instead allow the Ayatollah Khomeini - the father of modern terrorism - to return from exile to power in Iran. Granted, the Shah wasn't perfect by any means but he was considerably better than his replacement who...

    Panetta: Israel May Strike Iran This Spring

    So we're to believe that the Iranians have been pure as the wind-driven snow, and all this trouble is because the evil imperialist yankees "meddled" in Iran's affairs??:rolleyes: That's just pure, unadulterated (expletive deleted) that comes straight off the Lew Rockwell website. You seem to...

    Computercide and Rotten Kids

    This was obviously in a rural area and the guy was well away from people and traffic, and the daughter was obviously not around. And yes, I'm aware those rounds have a stated range of a mile or so but he was obviously familiar with firearms and was shooting into the ground. The foul-mouthed brat...

    Panetta: Israel May Strike Iran This Spring

    I agree wholeheartedly so long as they keep it inside their borders. However, when and if they start exporting terrorism or aiding/abetting terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah that effect us or our allies like Israel, then it creates a problem we need to address.

    Jimmy Carter Redux - Obama Leads from Behind, Middle East Implodes

    Actually 20% of the available 2286 delegates would put him at 457 - too early to tell, but IMHO he ain't gonna make it. Your 230 range is about 10% and that's where he stands now in the early stages with the fuzzy numbers. His problem is that none of the other candidates are going to bail out...
