Wow. Somebody once put a burning pile of dog crap on your front porch and you stomped on it didn't you?

It doesn't make any difference at all. I used term for accuracy, because that's what he was handed. But feel free to substitute any firearm, or lethal weapon of your choice, and my statement still stands. You had me going right up until that statement. Not that the type of firearm he was handed...

Not to worry. The school will be sued for gross negligence, and they and other school systems will ban tug-of-war.

So, you can only be respected and a hero if you volunteered, not drafted, and only then if you served in combat. Got it. And yet someone handed this obviously mentally ill nutcase with PTSD a semiautomatic weapon, thinking it would give him calm release. You just can't make it up.

Yeah, 'cause Ron Paul has no idea what it's like to serve in the military. Oh, wait....

As someone who used to do a lot of hiring, I would agree. Having a military background, even a two year enlistment, is generally a plus. But like you said, at the end of the day the people at the top of the list didn't depend on whether or not they were in the military. Having a military...

I've never seen any evidence that the transportation, trucking in particular, particularly covets career military people over anyone else who was in the military for less-than a career, or even over people who have never been in the military. I'm sure there are isolated cases where certain...

No. There's no way that any blocking app can get out in front of the carrier to do that. You can turn off text messaging completely, though. It'll save you some money and probably make you better with the English language. :D

When I read of the shooting, the very first thing that popped into my mind was, why would you take someone who is mentally disturbed, with PTSD, to a firing range at all, and then hand them a gun? The second thing that popped into my mind was not, "Live by the sword, die by the sword," but...

You mean like the clearly undeniable opinion that the transportation industry (trucking, in particular) so covets former "Military Career" people?

Handcent is a text message app that will let you blacklist anyone you want. The blacklist blocks unwanted SMS messages without producing any notification (sound /light/popup) and hide these messages. I've been using Handcent since very early on the Droid, and it works great. I haven't used it...

Oh, it's not just to Ziggi. Using slavery is a perfectly valid analogy, when it's valid to do so. Comparing a slave to an independent contractor is, as Ziggi so diplomatically, kindly and politely put it, nonsensical. Slaves were personal property and could only do what they were allowed to do...

It never ceases to amaze me the number of "professionals" in this industry who don't even know what "forced dispatch" means. If you've ever driven in a forced-dispatch system and in a non-forced dispatch system you will definitely know the difference. Non-forced dispatch does NOT mean there are...

Nothing like a nice 'n' juicy ad hominem wrapped in pickled red herring for a tasty snack.

Careful. That's exactly what a wacko Christian would say.

Exactly. It's fun, it works, has a cult following, but has great limitations in the range of applications where it can be used.

I dunno. If the litmus test for telling Muslims they have to leave the planet is just one crackpot cleric, then Christians should really keep a vigilant watch for any crackpot Christians out there.

That's where the word comes from, mostly. In poems that have rhyme and meter, a rhythm to them (prosody), where each section comes to a natural resting place before the next section, each section of the poem (the completed rhythm) is called a stanza. The term was applied to music for the same...

Wow. It surprises me that it surprises you that kids being rescued from a raging river is newsworthy. And if you jumped in, and the news media got wind of it, you'd be on the news, too. Kids go on and into the river, and come off and out of it all the time. But when kids are pulled out of a...

Well, being a Who'dey fan, I'm pulling for both teams to lose, with the 49ers losing twice. The best thing about this Super Bowl is likely to be the Mercedes Benz - Kate Upton commercial.
