The above statement borders on wild-eyed lunacy .... Yeah ... Venezuela .... right ......

Yup - the place where people often go off the rails on that though is to assume that self-interest doesn't include the well-being and survival of others. They think it's "me-as-an-individual-only" sorta thing - it ain't. Ahhh ... but I don't think that's the case at all ..... Children are...

I would submit to you that that is indeed the case - they were all insane - utterly and completely. And not only were they insane, but they were possessed of the worst, most vicious and destructive form of insanity that there is - not the rather innocuous garden-variety, babbling...

No, not really ..... particularly if you studied under psychs ..... not at all .... Likely not correct ..... most of them are nuts. It is a commonly known fact that they are, and that they suffer from a significantly higher incidence of "mental illness" than the general population.

Some might say that it is ..... :rolleyes:

Which might tell ya just a little about how insane a government can become ..... .... only for someone who believes that such killings are not the act of an insane madman ...... Wow ..... that is just utterly scary ..... (that you apparently believe mass murder is a sane act.) That, and the...

Turtle: well said - had I read your reply first, I might no have written this: Not at all. It would be right to say that it should have no bearing on whether he is held accountable. It certainly may have figured into why he did what he did - although, even if it did, it in no way justifies...

Good call. And here's a link to a PDF of it, in case some want to understand who exactly "they" is: None Dare Call It A Conspiracy Considering much of what gets posted on here ? Likely never .... For some even know not, for whom it is that they toil ....

Cute .... :rolleyes: Yeah ..... pretty much ..... that, he would be .... Although you could add psychopath to it as well, since that is really a far more accurate definition of what they really are, or were. ..... as to their motivations, or the exact computations they were operating off of...

I don't know that he was a terrorist - but clearly he was an insane psychopath .... And obviously, he claimed to be, a Muslim ..... but, of course, insanity isn't confined to a single race, creed, color, gender .... or anything else. Which only goes to illustrate the fact that people who are...

Not really ..... Try these names instead: Timothy McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Charles Whitman, Jason Rodriguez, Michael McLendon, Jiverly Wong (a Vietnamese immigrant), Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, Steven Kazmierczak, Robert A. Hawkins, Cho Seung-Hui, Sulejman Talovic, Charles Carl Roberts IV...

Went back in service Tuesday afternoon after getting the annual DOT inspection done on the van. They actually called me for a load while I was in the service bay getting it done. Picked up in Galion, OH Tuesday afternoon and delivered Wednesday morning in Willowbrook, IL. Then got one out of...

Actually it was more of a concern for the health and safety of the motoring public .... but yes Leo - I do worry about you too :eek:

Hey Corf ..... mebbe youse guys just been on that POD teat too long .... :p

I'm not entirely sure because I haven't had a chance to fully research it between loads, but the 15% may merely be a "trigger amount" .... IOW, anything over 15% will have more of a chance of triggering an audit, whereas anything 15% or less won't (or is less likely) In any event, one needs to...

You may wish to read the post of mine in the thread linked below, at the end of the thread, and check out the accompanying links in it: Re: The IRS cometh Not sure offhand. From Publication 535, Business Expenses: "Interest You Can Deduct You can generally deduct as a business expense all...

That is absolutely true ..... bottomline: My carrier (Bolt Express) does not have an advance program for cargo vans or Sprinters, preferring to allocate their resources to those who have, in my estimation (and apparently theirs) a far greater need for advances. If you are cargo van or Sprinter...

Please square the above comment with the comment directly below, made by you, earlier in this thread: Lesseee .... first you think it's someone else .... and then you've now suddenly recalled that you had this conversation .... dunno .... maybe testing for Alzheimers ought to be part of the DOT...

It's not at all semantical - if you are capable of assuming the viewpoint of the carrier - if you are only capable of seeing it from the position of the contractor, then yes, it is semantical. Looking at it from the viewpoint of a carrier, advancing monies on a load not yet run carries much...

Thank you. Well ya might just wanna flag that source of info as: "dubious, at best"
