    Ohio Class C

    A Class D is a regular operator licence and a Class C is a Commercial Drivers License. You will have to take a driving test when moving up from one class of vehicle to another, and you'll have to take it in the class of vehicle you want the license to be used for. In the case of a Class C...

    Inexcusable murder

    It's the summary totality of your message, a synonym akin to "etched in stone," or "it would take a Constitutional amendment to change it," is a figure of speech, a torn of a phrase. You've specifically stated a lot of things. In a hurray? No. It's after a rather long and protracted effort to...

    Cargo Van Cargo Vanners What GPS do you use?

    Yeah it's very different. A truck GPS won't route you on the parkways in New York and New Jersey and other roads where trucks cannot be, a car GPS will, every time. A car GPS will run you down residential streets where a truck GPS won't. My old Garmin had setting for shortest/fastest for both...

    Truck driver needs to be identified and arrested.

    Not that it really matters to this thread, but in the Qur'an it talks of sensual Jannah (Paradise) where men are rewarded by being wed to to 72 virgins (houri) with "full grown", "swelling" or "pears-shaped" breast. On the other hand, in the same Paradise, women are rewarded with just the one...

    Dried Fruit: Good or Bad?

    I do love me some dried apricots. But, like all other dried fruits, it's just concentrated sugar, so I have to be careful. I stay away from dried fruits usually. But every now and then I'll eat a few pieces. The trick to bananas is eating them while they're still relatively green. If they're...

    Children, schools, contraception, parents

    The reason I said that was, it was a direct response to you saying, inthe context of giving 11 year olds IUDs, "Keep pretending that all parents are responsible about informing their offspring about the reality of sex, and all teens [and preteens] will behave with good sense [when their hormones...

    And the bigotry continues

    If pedophiles started dying in large numbers due to some mysterious illness, do you really think society at large, much less politicians, would be falling over themselves to find a cause and a cure? Of course not. Pedophiles would make desperate pleas, and every one of them would fall on deaf...

    Taking offense at flags

    South Carolina's House voted to take the flag down. Good. It's ridiculous enough to fly a defeated flag. It's just absurd to fly it as a symbol of pride.

    Inexcusable murder

    Like I said, you should probably do a lot more research on this than you've done instead of running around looking for stuff that you think supports your position and then going, "See! Here! Look!" The Supreme Court has, ruled on this issue four separate times (1814, 1830,1875, and 1898). The...

    July in Load One Nation

    Houston, TX to Carteret, NJ, straight through. That's a hike. When I pulled into the J in Knoxville to grab a couple hour nap, I got a call from the Chattanooga office about a pickup just a few miles from where I was.. in New Jersey. According to what he was looking at, I was already here...

    Inexcusable murder

    It's not my interpretation, it's the interpretation of Congress and of Immigration and Naturalization. They spelled out precisely what "jurisdiction of" means, and it's different from what you, for some reason, want it to be. You should probably do a lot more research on this than you've done...

    The Trump Card...

    Is that what you think I'm doing, defending Trump? No. Trump's a buffoon. But even a buffoon shouldn't be expected to give the prostate exams to all his minions' minions.

    Inexcusable murder

    Yes and no. Prior to the 14th Amendment "citizen" meant solely a citizen of some state. But it gets mentioned many times in the Constitution long before the 14th Amendment cane along. Article IV Section II, for starters. The first section of the 14th Amendment defined what it meant to be a...

    The Trump Card...

    The contractors, especially Lend Lease, and the subcontractors, all know the laws, from building codes to employment. To sit them down and go, "Now make sure you follow all the laws and don't break any of them," is ridiculous. It almost as ridiculous as the Washington Post sending a reporter...

    Inexcusable murder

    Apparently, you think "subject to American jurisdiction" means the same as some kind of police jurisdiction or something. That's just one of the definitions. It doesn't mean that at all in the context of the Constitution. In the Constitution it means authority, dominion, sovereignty. Under...

    Inexcusable murder

    It really wouldn't require changing the Constitution at all. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside" It was legislation, the 1965 Immigration Act, which allowed the...
