    Estab GOP Sees Writing On Wall - Decides To Go "3rd Party"

    Entirely irrelevant? If that's true, then you have a reading comprehension problem. If Jesse Benton represents the campaign in any way, shape or form, then it is not inaccurate at all to refer to his statements about the campaign or about campaign issues as being made by the campaign.

    Estab GOP Sees Writing On Wall - Decides To Go "3rd Party"

    Reading comprehension is the ability to understand written communication in order to receive and relay without substantial error what is being conveyed by the writer. It does not mean being able to pedantically split hairs of precise language where price language is not used.

    The new Ron Paul game

    Fascism is a political/social ideology of extreme patriotism, such that nothing the nation does can be wrong. Something we should keep in mind.

    I ask twice!

    Why? If you are given an AWB#, a pro number (for an LTL pickup), a pickup number, or an NLMI number, those are very specific. Those numbers refer to documents and freight which list precisely what is to be shipped. If there is a discrepancy then you double-check with the shipper and then...

    Naaa. If they were gonna cut you lose, they'd call you and tell you that right after you delivered to Belgrade, Montana or Grants Pass, Oregon. Someplace like that. :D

    In all fairness, from the article at the link provided by Dave... Now, I'm not the sharpest tack in the drawer, but that sure seems to me to be saying what Dave said it did. What am I missing?

    Thank you, Witness. Wordy I have no problem with. I embrace it, obviously. Could be 5,578 words. Doesn't matter. But ya gotta break it up into readable paragraphs if you want it read by as many people as possible.

    Well, traditional conservatives are hardwired to tell other people what to do, what to think, and how to live, so it's not surprising that the notion of personal liberty scares the Hеll out of these people. As for his foreign policy, it's really pretty simple - it's the same foreign policy the...

    Reading a 578-word paragraph requires more of a commitment than I am willing to make. Can you sum it up in a sentence or two? :D

    It's very rare when Panther books a load quoted by weight. It's generally the same price for 2000 pounds or an envelope. The customer is paying for the entire truck regardless of what they put in it. It happens, especially when there is LTL or air involved, but it's rare.

    Interesting, I think, how we have evolved as a citizenry to the point where personal liberty has so little appeal to the masses.

    With the AWB# from Panther in hand, there's nothing else to do, nothing else to consider. That AWB# tells you precisely what you are to pick up. Even with the discrepancy there's really no need to call, as it can be assumed based on the AWB# that the QC information is incorrect. Somebody screwed...

    I wouldn't pay a penny over that. Panther says you should have called, but that's because they want to put the blame on you. If you got the AWB# from Panther, it's all on them, regardless of what was on the QC insofar as pieces and weight. When I was at Panther the pieces and weight on the QC...

    North Carolina voters reject same-sex marriage.

    Better context if you read the linked NY Daily News article. But I don't see a problem with a religious institution requiring its employees to not be hypocritical.

    He who controls the food supply, controls . thats it.

    It won't work because grocery store checkout clerks won't haggle back with you. "That's the price, you want it or not?" If you want to haggle over food, you need to haggle with someone who is in the position to haggle back with you, like at the fish market, the meat market, the farmer's market.

    Why Is This Not Making MAJOR HEADLINES??

    I don't have a first punch theory. It's a simple question I don't know the answer to. I do know that Martin had a history of sorts of throwing a punch at someone, but I also know that Zimmerman has a history of sorts of assaulting a cop. I'm not sure how either of those things are relevant to...
