I don't know how to answer the "is it not true?" question, because "not true" = "false" in my brain, and trying to answer that question always messes me up, so I'll just say that most of the items on the full listing of the Hazardous Materials Table are categorized on Table 2 of the DOT HAZMAT...

Phrased in that manner, you'd be wrong. There are certain types of hazardous materials that cannot be hauled in the cab of a truck. Since the entire cargo van is considered to be the cab, it follows that certain types of hazardous materials cannot be hauled in a van. Principally, these are...

A Google search for "Facebook is evil" will tell you why I'm not on there. Shortly after Facebook went live to the masses I created an account and checked it out. I could see what was going on and where it was headed. Early comments by Zuckerberg didn't ease my concerns. And it's gone exactly...

The Internet is spilling over into real life more and more. People are being less civil and less polite to those they disagree with, much like they do in Internet forums and comment sections. They feel entitled to insult others with abandon. Columnist Peggy Noonan recently suggested the same...

Thank you for your intelligent, well-reasoned and not-at-all emotional addition to the conversation. It's comments like yours that foster spirited debate and intelligent discourse of exactly the kind The Soapbox thrives upon. Kudos to you on a brilliant comment!

I don't know if the two actions are equatable, other than both are protests, or stunts, take yer pick. I'm not so sure that kneeling in political protest during the national anthem is in some way befitting of a jock, particularly a jock who is being paid millions of dollars by virtue of living...

I think he's one of those people who go to the games, and then leave early to beat the traffic.

Well, first of all, no, not really. Trump and Pence have both taken a very public stance on the issue which, along with most Americans, is that of kneeling during the national anthem is the exact opposite of petty nonsense and is not acceptable behavior. By staying, he wouldn't be showing he's...

Kneeling for the national anthem is a stunt. Trying to promote exactly what Kaepernick said to do. See? It works both ways. Stunt, protest, tomato, tomahto. That wasn't the goal. His statement on the matter made that very clear. Setting aside for a moment my shock and surprise (and some...

Why? If he stays he's condoning and accepting the kneeling, if he leaves he's exercising his right to not support that type of protest.

Golly, some unsolicited anecdotal testimonials from the Interewebs praising EnerBurn. How original. And by "original" I mean droll, and lame, and bread & butter advertisement-esque spammy. Earlier in this thread I posted the following... You've squandered an awesome opportunity for some...

Well, my point isn't whether or not automatic weapons have been used on citizens by law enforcement, it's a question of whether they are available and able to be used on citizens. Any weapon the State can use on its citizens, the citizens should have the same right to those weapons. Otherwise...

As Leo noted, yeah, it kinda does. It guarantees the right to keep and bear arms. Arms is defined very broadly as anything used in defense or offense. More specifically, it is defined as anything that a man wears or takes in his hands for his defense, or uses in his anger, to cast at or strike...

And the Washington Post. If WaPo and Fox agree on something, it's probab true.

He's on life support after having a heart attack.

Same thing can be said of cocaine, heroin, tobacco and religion. I wouldn't have a problem banning all guns from society, as long as it's everybody everybody. But, whatever weapons the government has at its disposal to use on the citizenry, the citizens should have the same exact weapons to...

And did it so stupidly. Silencers? She's been watching too many movies. Thinks a silencer makes a gun sound like an envelope opener ripping open an envelope. Sorry, Hill, not even close. A silencer muffled the decibels a bit, but it's still loud AF

Too early to say, too little is known about the incident. But I doubt he'd flip.

Hey the Bengals won! OK, it was against the Browns.

Well, if you're in Tacoma and you spend all your time bouncing back and forth over the Cascades, snow tires are your friend. But expediting in the Midwest means all-season tires are fine. The roads are cleared quickly, and every load you get in the snow will just take you to Laredo, anyway.
