    Polar bears not endangered, US confirms

    "Hmmmm you never talked about the nuclear testing now did you, I think that would denude a forest or three for decades :rolleyes:" Fair point, but I'm not aware of any nuclear testing having been performed in the forests. Most have been underground, or in the remote desert. No large areas of...

    Workers comp ?

    Yes, and no. But it depends. Panther doesn't get a cut of the premium. But as for worker's compensation, if you get actual worker's compensation, instead of Occupational Accident Insurance, then you'll pay the same as an employer would, depending on how many worker's comp claims the employer...

    US attacks North Korea 'sacred war' threats

    You really need to read up on how we and our allies poked and prodded Japan into launching an unprovoked attack, and then you'll see the stark similarity to what has been going on so far in Korea.

    Polar bears not endangered, US confirms

    That's just what they're called. The names weren't the cause of the extinctions. Well that's not tooooo taken out of context, now is it? LOL Here's the context: Full article here, courtesy of the English Lass herself (thank you for that), and it's a very interesting article (and not only...

    US attacks North Korea 'sacred war' threats

    Well, even the history revisionists can't help but to touch a little bit on what actually caused Japan to launch their "unprovoked" attack on Pearl Harbor. They just try and play it down is all. But I got my information from Wikileaks, so I'm good to go, not a terrorist at all. I'm a free...

    Do Bugs Have A Place On Your Dinner Plate?

    "The world's food crisis could be eased if Westerners included insects in their diet to make up some of their protein needs, according to a Dutch scientist." It could also be solved if Westerners stopped producing wheat and corn for the rest of the world. :D "Arnold Van Huis, Professor of...

    I'm still in Tomah, where the moon is shining, on all the frozen birds.

    US attacks North Korea 'sacred war' threats

    Don't forget that both of those were also in response to provoking events. Don't kid yourself about why the US and South Koreans are there and doing what they are doing. They are there solely to elicit a provoked response, and then call it provoking. Kinda like what the US did to Japan in...

    Polar bears not endangered, US confirms

    Putting aside the fact that the above quotes are from people who largely make their living off human-induced Climate Change, we have one person saying that "since 1950, human intervention has caused more changes in the ecosystem than during any other period in history," completely ignoring major...

    Polar bears not endangered, US confirms

    I'll have more to say once I've done some research and gathered my thoughts on the subject. :D

    Broke down in Lexington Ky

    If it's any consolation, Freedom Dodge is really good, even if they won't give you a price break on the parts. The Sprinter techs there really know their stuff. And they're honest.

    US attacks North Korea 'sacred war' threats

    Because, of course, live fire drills on the border isn't the least little bit provocative. <snort>

    Polar bears not endangered, US confirms

    No. There's not enough data to support a definitive position one way or the other. On the surface there certainly seems to be, but that's not a substitute for is. There have been interglacial warming periods where rapid warming occurred at a rate far faster than it has since the Industrial...

    US to make 'wild' public land eligible for protection

    Good. If it weren't for the efforts of a relatively small number of people, the Grand Canyon and all the surrounding land would have been destroyed by mining interests. And that's just one example.

    LOL Just a test to see what level of tree hugger you might be. :D The simple answer is, yes, of course he is. But since man really and truly is a part of nature, by definition he cannot be "interfering" with nature, and anything he does is also a part of that nature. It's just that man can...

    Do you carry extra keys?

    You can't be outside the van and lock a Sprinter with the key in the ignition, without using another key. The remote doesn't work when a key is in the ignition. You can't open a door, lock it, and then shut it with it remaining locked. If you lock your keys in a Sprinter, and then lose your...

    What XM station are you listening too?

    I listen only to Elvin Radio, and Hair Nation. Just kidding. :D Baseball, Jazz, Blues and Classical channels, POTUS, BBC and occasionally the other news channels, XM Public and NPR Radio once in a while, the Decades channels, Deep Tracks, Classic Vinyl, Margaritaville, quite a wide variety...
