    Back when I got the Nokia headphones is when I first looked into all this in depth. I was actually very surprised at how many states don't disallow the headphones covering (or in) both ears. I figured none of them would allow it because A) it's something I wanted to do, and B), it makes sense...

    The Blue Tiger Elite Bluetooth headset (that we're talking about with the bad mic and the foam problem) covers both ears. There are several stereo Bluetooth headsets for use with telephones. I have a Nokia BH-905 Bluetooth Headset that has killer noise canceling (for listening only), and dual...

    Sadly, it really and truly is all politicians, not merely most of them. They all appear to wish to represent the interests of the citizens, because that's part of their job description. A politician is a per who acts, usually in a manipulative and sometimes in a devious way, typically to gain...

    I don't have a problem with someone making money. More power to them. I don't even have a problem with someone quitting a job so they can do something else that makes them more money than the job they just quit. My problem with her is that she stood there and said she's never quit at anything...

    Thanks for letting us know. That's so sad. I hate that.

    Our Government an instigator of terror activities?

    I don't disagree at all, it's just that I'm very familiar with Mencken and his writings and views and know how he used the term, both before that article and for several years afterwards. Like I said, he used it as an insult, but it was really more of an unflattering statement of strong opinion...

    I agree. The reason for leaving the road and entering the park and pulling up on him that fast was to get the advantage of the element of surprise, in order to take him down. They knew what they wanted to do before the got there. Never having heard "It's probably fake" no doubt played a major...

    You should probably be aware that in some states it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while wearing earphones over, or earplugs in, both ears. It's legal in Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, for example, but illegal in Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New...

    You can keep repeating it but it's not gonna get any less ludicrous. Your comparison was a straw man in the first place - people don't get mad a truck drivers when they quit to spend more time with family therefore people shouldn't get mad at Palin for quitting for the same reasons. You think...

    It's about a cop shooting a 12 year old in under 2 seconds after arriving on the scene.

    Clearly, that particular brand, make, and model of headset is not for you. Over the years I went through probably 20 different Bluetooth headsets, from Motorolas or Jawbones to Plantronics, before I found the Blue Parrot. The foam covering the mic on the Blue Parrot is actually rather difficult...

    In a holster? Really? I'm guessing you didn't get that definition from the Ohio Revised Code. Does that mean "concealed carry" is defined as not in a holster? Open Carry means: The act of publicly carrying a firearm in plain sight. Plain Sight means: Not being hidden from common...

    When are these idiots going to learn

    When you can see, you aren't following too close. Suddenly, you can't see, and you're following too close. Twice that I can recall I've been driving when suddenly I ran into a wall of white out conditions, like someone flipped a switch. You look up ahead and you can see just fine, then all of...

    Racism really isn't soooo 1960s. It's very much with us today, even worse thanks to institutionalized racism. It just looks different, isn't quite as overt and casual, but it's still here, always waiting for the opportunity to rear it's head. We have just as many bad cops now as we did back then...

    I stated, "Open carry is legal in Ohio. Holding a gun in your hand, even pretending you're a beauty queen in a parade with it, should not mean you are subject to being shot on sight by the police." You responded with, "Open carry is legal, for ADULTS, not children." My question is, what does...

    Our Government an instigator of terror activities?

    Yes, by 1922 is was being used an as insult. Mencken wrote his comment in 1920. 1920 does not a 1922 make. But even in 1922 its use as a derogatory insult wasn't particularly widespread. It took 40 years for that to happen. (On a side note, the Able-ist word profile at disabledfeminists.com...

    It's not greasy, but I got that t-shirt. 4 or 5 times I've had to break it into 4 parts. More times than I will admit it's been broken into 3 parts. Breaking it into 2 parts happens so much it's almost routine. LOL

    Didn't really answer my question, but OK. As for what you read, put that in the context of what the video irrefutably shows, that the cop car pulled up, and slightly less than 2 seconds the door opened, the cop exited while drawing his gun, and fired as soon as he cleared the door.
