    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    If you have to explain a joke in detail so that others will get it, then you told it poorly. Same thing with sarcasm. Are you a US citizen?

    U.S. proposes cellphone ban for truck drivers

    Well, according to the proposal, companies won't be banned from calling us, but if they do then they will be ipso facto encouraging cell phone use by drivers, and will be guilty of willingly allowing drivers to use cell phones, and would then be subject to serious fines. So unless the carriers...

    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    If you (we, they) secure the borders for real, then we won't have to go after corporations and others who are using cheap labor, since the borders will be secured. Trash the DREAM Act since it's a Band Aid at most, and certainly trash the part about being able to come here at 15 years old as a...

    They're hoping the increase in speed alone will entice truckers back onto the toll road. Highways 20, 2, even 322 is getting beaten up pretty bad because of the truck traffic. They're hoping to get trucks off those roads and back onto the big road, and they'll try anything short of reduced...

    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    Aaaaand you're still talking about me, instead of the issues. Sheesh. Get over it. If you meant it as sarcasm and I didn't get it, well then, OK. Not everybody gets my sarcasm or humor, either. But I try not to beat them up because they failed to get it. Time to move on.

    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but the issue is exactly whether or not not we should allow whose who came here as children to be part of our country. That's what the bill was about, it's what the thread is about, and it's what the example of the kid from home is about. Fact is, we've never...

    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    I agree. Nothing can be done without first securing the borders. I find it extremely odd that both political parties say they want secure borders, yet neither are willing to do anything about it. I have a sneaking suspicion they're both lying to me. Liberals because, well, they're liberal, and...

    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    My English language and reading comprehension skills are just fine. There is nothing in your comments that even hint at sarcasm. Don't blame me because your ability to effectively communicate sarcasm is so weak that you have to get all pіssy and attempt to attack me personally using English...

    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    Okie dokie. Yeah, it's a real problem when people set up homes and contribute to society by working an honest job, living their lives and staying out of trouble. Like I said, they're good-for-nothing. <snort> Once we start applying things in black and white with no compassion as a people, we're...

    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    Uhm, if you say so. Second in a million - Pedro Ramirez, Fresno State's student body president, came here when he was 6 weeks old Third in a million - Hector Lopez, former student body class president at Rex Putnam High School, came here when he was 3 years old I'm thinkin' there might be...

    As has been noted already, people in the military are already taking showers with gays. They have been for years, decades, centuries, even. Not really a lot of problems with people bringing their own wash cloth hangers so far. However, if you create gay-only showers, sheesh, you'll never get...

    Murder or job well done?

    It doesn't really. I suppose you could stretch it and say the guy who ran down the block and shot the other guy is the same kinda sorta revenge that happened in the book (and the movie) where the father of the girl who was raped laid in waiting in the courthouse for the prisoner transfer and...

    Murder or job well done?

    A Time To Kill by John Gresham. It was his very first book, later made into a movie.

    "Dream Act" immigration bill blocked in Senate

    I don't support this current bill, the one that fortunately didn't pass, because as the critics say, it was too broad. It allowed for a path to citizenship provided you came here prior to age 16, which is hardly the age where America is the only country they've ever known. If they come here...

    Favorite runs of the year?

    Most memorable run was just the other day where I snorkeled from Nashville to Elizabethtown, skated from E-town to Louisville, snowmobiled from Louisville to Indy, skied from Indy to South Bend, then finally drove the last few miles to Niles. Favorite run was delivering to about an hour south...

    Cheri, Cheri, Cheri, you know darn good and well that it'll be a straight up hate crime, regardless of the provocation. You could run a pedestrian down while they were crossing at a cross-walk, and if they turned out to be gay, it's a hate crime. Dood at Rutgers jumped off the GW Bridge because...

    How will this affect us? End of cell phone use!

    I believe the question was, "How will this affect us?" My answer is, I don't think it will affect us very much, even if implemented. The DOT generally has to show supporting data for their rulemaking, and even though their own data shows cell/text use is highly age-biased and highly biased...
