    I Wanna Hijack a Thread

    Especially in light of some people's views on the anti-abortion people should have to take in a bunch. We're coming close to hypocrisy territory here. Pro Life people play fast and loose with the death penalty, and pro abortion people want to take in the throngs of illegals because it's for the...

    I Wanna Hijack a Thread

    How many of these kids are you willing to take in and support? Five, you say? Great, in that case you get 20. And once you have those, we'll give you 20 more, and after that, well, they just keep on coming, so buck up and show a little compassion. At what point do you say no? I say that...

    Woman faces life sentence for traffic deaths.

    The ducks weren't in the road, they were over on the side of the road, in the grassy median (on hwy 30, just south of Montreal on the South Shore). She stopped her car, in the fast lane, to herd the ducks up and take them home. The law where it happened is no stopping in a lane of traffic unless...

    Woman faces life sentence for traffic deaths.

    That's a straw man logical fallacy. If her car had just quit, then it would have been totally his fault (he's not blameless in this). But that's not what happened. She stopped her car intentionally, causing a traffic hazard. You can come up with all kinds of alternate scenarios, like a stopped...

    Woman faces life sentence for traffic deaths.

    No brake lights, no emergency flashers, easy to not assume the vehicle is stopped. Happens all the time. Especially with all of the distractions of a busy highway, which is where she stopped. People have been stopped on the shoulder with no flashers, brake lights illuminated or triangles out and...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    The Examiner piece... that's one fine example of excellence in journalism, right there. It's so excellent that right before Rush Limbaugh read the entire piece on air, complete with selective commentary, of course, he stated, "Well, I took it upon myself to find out, and this is what they are...

    4-Wheeling Snap-Loc Loc-Link : 4-Wheeling

    I have a pair of 2x4 E-track brackets that I use on the floor E-track with a 2x8 wood plank that will secure probably 80 percent of my single-skid loads. It makes a very nice barrier on the floor that will keep most anything from moving. I carry two of the 12-foot (yellow) and two of the 16-foot...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    The speculation ran rampant, so it's not surprising that some of it would stick. I seem to recall Portland (Maine) getting a lot of airtime (as to where some of them entered, then drove down to Boston). None of the early speculation even mentioned Florida, and that's where they mostly hung out...

    Are Predator drones worth the money for border security? Eyes in the Sky: Are Pricey Border Patrol Drones Worth the Money? - NBC News These are some expensive little puppies, $18 million a pop, plus it takes a crew of 5-8 people to operate, plus a maintenance staff. Yet we have goobers with...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    They all entered legally on US government issued visas, through US Customs at ports of entry. Does it matter which port of entry they entered? But if you read the details, they entered in several places, ranging from Newark, Los Angeles, NYC, Miami, others.

    I think creating an even tighter web of entangling alliances is a mistake. We can't untangle what we've got as it is.

    New Chrome Plugin

    You might think this belongs in the Tech Shop, and it may very well should be. But I'm putting it here because of its comedic value. There is a new Chrome plugin that will play clown music every time you read about Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. It's absolutely hilarious that a military march...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Clearly, we can't dump any more money into those countries, since the corruption down there guarantees that none of it will go to where it's needed. Most of the aid to those countries already goes into the coffers of those in power. People are working on the problems, but all they're doing is...

    I gave you a whole new thread in which to post about this, and you'd rather continue to disrupt this thread. Now you're intentionally trying to hijacking a thread, and trolling on top of it. I do wish you good luck.

    Woman faces life sentence for traffic deaths.

    It's illegal to stop your vehicle in a traffic lane. It's illegal for a reason. It's because someone is likely to run into the back of your vehicle if you do. Speeding, following too closely, those are factors, but the cause is stopping in a traffic lane in a non-emergency. Heck, it's even...

    I think she should get 20 years, out in 8, and a lifetime ban from driving a motor vehicle on Provincial roads.
