If, as you say, there is no guaranteed freedom FROM religion, then you are advocating that a religion be FORCED onto people, whether they like it or not. OK, which religion? Incidentally, "We know our founders intended this country to be a Christian country by giving us guaranteed rights by...

You get a say when you get pregnant, same as the others. Until then, your say means about as much as their say.

You said, "Let the giver of life make that decision and we all will be better off including the born or unborn," and I asked, "Does that mean we should "let the giver of life", you know, God, make that decision in the cases of rape, incest and the health of the mother?" Rather than give a...

Does that mean we should "let the giver of life", you know, God, make that decision in the cases of rape, incest and the health of the mother? Or do we know better than God in that regard?

We like to keep track of who is, and who is not, paying attention. :D

Trying to enter this industry with your own authority and trying to look for loads, rather than learning the industry first and already knowing where freight comes from before getting your own authority, is the most risky way to get into expediting. There are no expedite load boards with tons of...

It's certainly an astounding demonstration of political condescension, I'll give her credit for that.

Actuarial science is a term that cracks me up. It's an oxymoron, same as creation science. Actuaries use mathematics, statistics, and financial theory to study uncertain future events.

The quote doesn't tell us anything at all about whether there will be death panels, or anything negative all. It doesn't tell us anything negative or positive about the bill. It gives no information whatsoever about the bill. None. It gives people who are scared of everything the ability to make...

If he looked like Charles Manson's brother, sure. Why not?

Thanks, but trust me, I have immaculate battery cables. :) The battery load-tests just fine, and there are no voltage drops on any of the important cables. Fuses and relays have been checked. Most likely it's a situation between the transponder chip in the key and the ignition switch. Primary...

Unfortunately, er, uh, I mean, fortunately, no. I'm enjoying the many pleasures of camping out at a Mercedes dealership waiting for them to open in the morning so they can fix my Sprinter. The battery works just fine, tests out fine, except when I turn the key to start the van, then it acts...

Testosteronie, the REAL San Francisco Treat.

That's true, but others quickly elevated it to a whole 'nuther testosteronie level, half of whom who would soil themselves while shooting themselves in the foot before having their gun taken away from them.

Asjssl, if you want to start a thread about how many of what sized animals should be allowed in a cargo van, go for it. But just because you have a different opinion about that than someone else does not justify hijacking a thread in order to attack someone over the difference of opinion. I've...

I would imagine that some of then will have a medical background, same as the military base closings panel had some military pepper on it. But I wouldn't think it would be a panel made up of mostly doctors. That would have conflict of interest written all over it.

Best correlation that I've heard and read about is that it's similar to the same panel that oversees the military base closings and other military budget cuts. A panel making hard decisions based on something other than politics. We'll see.

Your decision making skills are coming into play here in this thread. You're attacking the person, his decision making skills, based on your disagreement with how many and what size dogs he has in his van. Are you kiddin' me? What does any of that have to do with anything in this thread?

Actually, it's not. The language that Palin was screaming about was removed from the bill entirely before it was voted on. It dealt with having Medicare pay for physician consultations for living wills and end of life decisions on an individual basis between physician and patient, with no panel...

Too many people think shooting a paper target will adequately prepare them for an adrenalin-rushed reaction situation where panic overcomes rational thought more often than not. There are countless examples of armed citizens having their gun taken away from them and then being shot with their...
