    Modern Life In Appalachia

    Well, that was the intended premise, anyway, but that appears to be just a vehicle for the real message you ended up sending. It didn't go unnoticed that you crafted your threads specifically within a very narrow scope, yet many of your comments were not about sharia law at all, but rather...

    Modern Life In Appalachia

    My apologies. I've been waiting so long for the answer, I simply forgot and got the two confused.

    Bringing back the firing squad.

    Well, what are your suggestions for a more humane way to carry out an execution?

    Hey, I tried! Look at the picture closer.

    Modern Life In Appalachia

    I agree. Fortunately, I nor anyone that I know of has portrayed Southerners or Appalachians as wife-beaters. Beyond the pale is accusing someone of something they did not do, while knowing they did not do it. Good for you. I'm of the same admiration. Your posts on Muslims are bigoted, trolling...

    Mainstream Muslims and Radical Jihadists

    I'm just trying to stave off any pedantic objections later on. My claim was that, "I heard and read plenty of comments from mainstream Muslims denouncing Islamic radicals and terrorists actions." I didn't claim that I read or heard any of that from high level Muslims, or from those who were...

    Modern Life In Appalachia

    Haven't you been paying attention? Right. Because men won't allow it. Male nuns are called monks (or friars). Monks (and friars), however, can be ordained into the priesthood, whereas nuns cannot. If you say that as a student, perhaps, because nuns are stereotypically abusive of children. But as...

    Modern Life In Appalachia

    That's pretty funny, considering in which thread you made the request. I look forward to you addressing it another thread. I do hope we don't have to wait as long as we had to wait to hear back on how invading Afghanistan was done to protect the US Constitution. The rioting that got out of...

    Question for load1 drivers.....about shower credits

    Like I said, I've never had less than 5 on my card. That includes coming out after 4 and 5 weeks of being at home. Well, I shouldn't say "never." I have, but not since, oh, about 2½ years ago. I don't know if it's a glitch, or just another perk.

    Question for load1 drivers.....about shower credits

    Exactly. I've gotten fuel, driven 300 miles, and then put in 15 more gallons. You could do those same two transactions at the same time, one right after the other, but what's the point? So you get the extra shower credit 5 or 6 hours sooner. For most people (non Load 1 peoples), a 50 gallon...

    Feminism vs. Kirsten Dunst

    Too true. However, I'm gonna have to be offended, highly, by that, as well. I'm trying real hard here. Maybe I should go with deeply.

    Why no celebration?

    A butterfly flaps its wings in China and it rains in Central Park. Chaos Theory describes how that works, and it also describes how things can be affected on a cosmological scale. A star goes supernova in Vega and everything from dark matter to sunspot activity to the manner and speed at which...

    Feminism vs. Kirsten Dunst

    You've qualified your statement that both genders CAN BE both, not ARE both, but CAN be, and further qualified it with "depending on the circs" (circumstances, I'm assuming). That indicates it's possible, but certainly not the case in all cases, meaning that not all men are strong in every...

    Question for load1 drivers.....about shower credits

    You need both cards, actually. If you use the Rewards Card and pay cash, you'll only get half a shower credit with each 14 gallon purchase, because the Rewards Card doesn't identify you with the Load 1 program. If you use the Fleet Card, which identifies you as being with Load 1, you get the...

    USDA and machine guns

    The US Forest Service's Law Enforcement and Investigation Unit is a part of the USDA. That's probably where the guns are headed. They have to deal with Clive Bundy somehow. <snort> If you notice, every federal agency is beginning to become armed in military fashion. They're not stupid, they...

    Good Eats Good to great BBQ

    I concur on the Hard Eight. Man, that's some good BBQ right there. I've been to two of their locations, the one in Coppell and the one out in Stephenville. Both are excellent. Another place I go to in Dallas a lot, because it's so close to the Flying J, is Dickey's Barbeque Pit in Desoto. Take...

    Feminism vs. Kirsten Dunst

    Highly? Highly offensive? I find it highly offensive that you would turn "sometimes" into "a normal routine" so that you could create a context in which you could be highly offended. I find it highly offensive that you would characterize Dunst's support for her stay-at-home mom as offensive...
