    Why we don't need liberals ideas

    Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas Well, first thing that should be done is to stop giving the media a chance showcase "unstable gun nuts" who go into places like Chili's with rifles slung over their shoulders. Is a response not unlike a three year who goes STOMP, STOMP, STOMP, "I'll show...

    Why we don't need liberals ideas

    Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas The problem is, Detroit isn't typical, it's the exception to the rule. Yes they do. Right. And they're coming off looking like gun nuts. And not in a good way.

    Why we don't need liberals ideas

    Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas Which is their right. El Oh El Maybe not intentionally, but the possibility exists. It may be a slim possibility, but so is needing everyone to be armed at Taco Bell just because. Why do you keep bringing up Detroit? Detroit is not a Chili's in Texas...

    Why we don't need liberals ideas

    Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas Like I said, there are places and situations where seeing people carrying guns is normal and not at all alarming. People don't freak out in those situations. In situations where guns are unusual and out of place, people are going to freak out, because...

    Why we don't need liberals ideas

    Re: Why we don't need liberal's ideas There are restaurants you can go into and receive service when you are not wearing a shirt or shoes, but not many, even though it is your right to not wear a shirt or shoes. The same is true for wearing a long gun on your shoulder. You have a right to bring...

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    That's the prophylactic approach, and it should be used. I'm curious how the prophylactic approach would work with a dog's tail. Duct tape the tail to the side of the dog, maybe? Everything in the world is new and interesting to a kid, so everything they encounter is worthy of closer...

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    OK, so I gotta ask... What is your solution to teaching a 2 year old child about not sticking a fork into an electric socket? How do you teach an 18-month old, before they've pulled the dog's tail, not to pull the dog's tail? And, how do you teach conflict resolution to kids without...

    Evergreens dieing, dying?

    New trees, old trees, doesn't matter. Some will survive better than others. The older, more established trees actually have a harder time replenishing the moisture because they need more of it.

    Evergreens dieing, dying?

    It's a combination of things. More salt, for sure, but trees not near roads are turning orange and brown and dying off, as well. Mainly it's just the long, cold winter, which was colder than normal this year and with extended periods to very cold temperatures (there's a reason you don't see very...

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    Actually, spanking is completely unnecessary for at least those three examples. Sticking a fork or other metal object into an electric socket is a lesson learned far more immediately than any spanking will teach. Snatching the toys of other kids is one that the kids usually resolve amongst...

    Batteries Inverter Problem

    I dunno. Low voltage can mean (not does mean, but can mean) high resistance somewhere along the lines, and high resistance means high heat, which can mean an electrical fire. I'd certainly have it checked out by someone.

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    Having to go out and cut your own switch is a real lesson learner. Didn't take very long for all the little tree branches to disappear and realize that pretty soon I was gonna need saw instead of a knife to cut those switches. :D

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    It translates into adulthood in the form of "consequences for your actions." Young children understand the immediacy of pain. As they get older they can intelligently understand the reasoning of consequences. You won't teach an adult anything by spanking him anymore than you can teach a 3 year...

    Father fined and gets probation

    After the father completes a parenting course, because that's actually a thing, as soon as his probation is up the no contest plea will be expunged, assuming he doesn't engage in any more old school discipline.

    Happy May Day and the rest of the month!

    Got a call the other day on a load. "Go ahead and start heading that way and I'll send the info over the QC as soon as I get it." 20 minutes later I'm out on the Interstate rolling to the pickup and the phone rings, "That load just canceled. Sorry about that." I'd give you the order number to...

    Batteries Inverter Problem

    At least one, probably all three of those outlets should be 15 amp (180 Watts) outlets. Assuming low-draw 12-volt appliances like a GPS works when directly plugged into the sockets, Otsuka like a low voltage problem. The Dome lights could be related, or they could just be low wattage bulbs, or...

    Some were correct. "On-duty time shall include: (2) All time inspecting, servicing, or conditioning any commercial motor vehicle at any time;" Fueling, washing, oil changes, that's all On Duty.
