    Well, they may not be forgiven by God, but they are forgiven by Allah.

    Justice is blind or just downright political

    True, but I read the same line in the article before that, and it was the impetus for my comment in the first place. It just so happened that you picked that very sentence to post. The "majority of citizens of this country were offended" part of his statement led me to conclude that the use of...

    GOP wants Dr. Paul's followers, but not Dr. Paul

    "But alas, the illegal maneuvers of the RNC have robbed the movement of their last show before the cameras, and contrary to assurances by an "insider" within the RNC, Ron Paul will get no speaking slot." That's disingenuous and grossly misleading. Ron Paul was offered a speaking slot, it was...

    pay rate ALL Miles

    When the FSC rises but the overall rate does not, one of two things is happening. Either the carrier is pocketing more than their fair share of the line haul or the FSC, or they are giving the customer a price break in order to get the load, and the price break is at your expense.

    Armstrong Vs. Obama

    Well, you're only obligated to register the vehicle if you want to operate it on the public roads. If you don't, then you're not.

    Justice is blind or just downright political

    I understand your point of view, tho. From the sentence you posted, actually: "Sentencing him Judge Jamie Tabor QC, said: 'Not only soldiers but the majority of citizens of this country were offended by seeing the poppies burnt. They, however, did not react as you did'. " Not at all. The ""mob"...

    coolant system help

    I don't use Evans coolant because the cooling system is the Sprinter is not designed for it and it is not recommended. In order to use Evans in a Sprinter I'd have to mod the system to make it into a zero-pressure system instead of the pressurized system. The coolant flow would alsol have to be...

    Armstrong Vs. Obama

    They aren't participating, they are making a choice to operate the vehicle, and therefor must show they are able to financially handle their obligations that can arise from accident or injury. You still have a choice to not operate a vehicle, and therefor aren't mandated to buy insurance. Yes...

    Voters in TX won't have to show ID

    "Republicans are trying to disenfranchise minorities, poor people and college students..." "strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor," like, you know, college students, who are issued a college or university ID when they register for classes. In defense of the decision, though, Texas should...

    coolant system help

    When the engine gets warm the coolant expands, the pressure regulator (usually the radiator cap) allows it to expand a specific amount to raise the pressure and the boiling point of the coolant. When it over pressures, the regulator (usually the cap) allows coolant to flow under pressure into...

    Dont what to think about this!

    Dispatch favoritism happens all the time, and there's no way around it. But it can be measured and tempered. When it's blatant and overt, as with dispatchers who also own trucks and vans, it's both scummy and icky, and destroys any Duty of Trust and Confidence between the contractor and the...

    Justice is blind or just downright political

    Both were certainly insults, but one went a tad further and attacked a specific mosque instead of insulting all of Islam. Possibly. But, I think it was a verdict that was consistent with the law rather than with the wishes of a (understandable) mob mentality. The mob wants Muslims, all of them...

    Armstrong Vs. Obama

    No, I'm not mandated to buy auto insurance. There isn't a single state in these United States, not one, which requires its citizens to purchase auto insurance as a requirement for citizenship. The Affordable Care Act is dramatically different than that. If you want to drive a car, you have to...

    Justice is blind or just downright political

    Burning Remembrance poppies, and shouting 'British soldiers burn in hell' is bad, but it's really more of a free speech expression. Not a smart one, but it should be without penalty. Like burning the American flag here, it's not very smart, and it isn't looked upon very favorably, but it should...

    UK Firemen Rescue Cow Stuck in Tree

    It's not all that widespread and common here in the States, either. It's mostly inner city firemen who need to do that.

    These Are the Samsung Products Apple Wants Banned

    Apple actually was granted a patent on the "rectangular shape with rounded corners" for the iPhone and iPad, which the jury dismissed in a common sense move because they felt that geometric shapes should not be patented. But the jury allowed for the patent for "square icons with rounded...

    UK Firemen Rescue Cow Stuck in Tree

    Oh, yeah. They've all get body armour. They need that when responding to calls about cats in trees. One of them might be a lion or something. :D Seriously, many firefighters are now carrying bullet proof vests for when they have to respond in dangerous areas, especially when fire erupts in...
