    Should porn on a public library computer be ok?

    Why does looking at porn automatically means dropping trou and..... I'll come back to that in a minute. Imagine a library before the Internet, where there were only books and magazines and vinyl records in there. Some of those books and magazines and records contained sexy, erotic, even...

    What your Kids are being Taught in Public Schools

    Ok, seriously... what is wrong with you? Rather than make just butt stoopid assumptions about what they are being taught in a high school in Des Moines, based on a single item of study, why not find out what the heck is really going on? Or better yet, pull the foot-long carrots (euphemism for...

    What your Kids are being Taught in Public Schools

    Isn't it amazing how the more information you get about something, the less you have to assume stuff, and the more accurate your conclusions become.

    Oh, I know. I'm just surprised that after moving from Baltimore to Roanoke that my next load didn't pick up in, you know, Baltimore. :D

    What your Kids are being Taught in Public Schools

    Correct. If you look at the context solely within the context of the cartoon, and then make the assumption that it is a standalone item and not part of the studies, and that it was created (in the style of the 1950s print media cartoons) specifically to teach kids that Communism is better than...

    Should porn on a public library computer be ok?

    The ACLU suit was brought in 2006 “on behalf of a college student who was prevented from researching for a paper on youth tobacco use, an artist who couldn't look at sites of art galleries and artwork, a political group whose publication ‘Women and Guns’ was blocked, and a man who wanted to...

    Re: Newbie...Just Retired From Private Jet Piloting...Now Have Class A CDL...Now What I think you'll find that being stuck in Chicago rush hour traffic on a Friday afternoon is really no better than being stuck in a holding pattern above O'Hare.

    What your Kids are being Taught in Public Schools

    I'd be willing to bet real money ($100) that the flier was part of a History class where they were studying propaganda related to the Cold War, rather being something to teach kids that Communism is better than Capitalism. Any takers? I mean, the radio show did an entire hour on it, and people...

    They paid me to go to Roanoke. I asked why not Richmond? They said nothing ever comes out of there. 2 days later in Roanoke, they wanted me to go to Charleston, WV (the hotbed of expedited freight <snort> ). I didn't move. 12 hours later got one from Roanoke to Ypsilanti.

    I wonder how they deal with it when the shoe is on the other foot. Like, you know, only delivering freight on-time 90% of the time. :rolleyes:

    6 V versus 12 V House batteries

    Life expectancy of a battery is like asking, "How much money will I make in expediting?" The life expectancy depends on the proper sizing of the battery bank, depth of discharge, type of loads, battery maintenance regime, ambient temperature, charging algorithm, and the quality and...

    Telsosemarketers calling our cellphones starts soon

    I used to get an automated calls about sport betting. I'd get them about once a week, for about 6 months. Those were the only calls like that I've ever gotten. But I haven't had any more of those for about a year and a half. I have a suspicion that it was because of a particular sports app I...

    Not for everybody but.....

    Oh, well, since they were important to you, then that's OK. That's what I mean by justifying, logical fallacy, and picking and choosing.
