    A South Dakota perspective on New York mosque debate

    No, I didn't miss the CURRENT in your post at all. Just because YOU say there are CURRENT Muslims at FormerMuslimsUnited.com doesn't mean there are very many of them, if any. The site doesn't cater to, nor is about CURRENT Muslims, it's for and about former Muslims. That's why it's called...

    Imam Rauf: Moving Mosque Location Threatens Our National Security

    He's a man of God, a Christian, same as all the other Christians. He represents what Christians are all about. Doesn't he? Or are there some Christians who aren't wacko crazy and not as extreme as this guy?

    A South Dakota perspective on New York mosque debate

    Of that I have no doubt. Do you really and truly honestly believe that former Muslims have an unbiased and objective opinion about Islam? It's akin to disgruntled former workers being unbiased about their former workplace. It's like getting an honest an objective view of Christianity from a...

    A South Dakota perspective on New York mosque debate

    Ah, but the Barbary Pirates were Muslims, which therefore hence thus thusly and ergo makes them terrorists. <snort> Hey, didja know the most famous, feared and notorious Barbary Pirate was a Christian Englishman named Captain Jack Ward? England wasn't a member of his fan club. The Crown had a...

    A little Turtle trivia

    I dunno. Maybe. I once cracked a couple of ribs. Went to the ER where they took x-rays. The x-ray technician had trouble reading the pictures. Had to confer with the doctor to figure it all out. They pointed out to me what was causing the difficulty in seeing what they wanted to see. Basically...

    A South Dakota perspective on New York mosque debate

    Interestingly, I have not read nor heard a single Muslim make that same statement. Not even a radical one. I have heard several Muslims state, however, that they wish it wouldn't be built there. Yes, the name Cordoba has special significance to Muslims. Among other things, it commemorates the...

    A little Turtle trivia

    Yes, it's true. Turtles have two special sets of respiratory muscles. One set pulls the body contents outward, toward the openings at the front and rear of the shell. This expands the body cavity and draws air into the lungs, which are located in the top part of the shell. The other pushes...

    Your best bet is a trailer place, especially horse or utility trailers, but most big truck trailer repair places will have E-track, too.

    Pilot Fatigue Rules...Sound Familiar?

    Unfortunately, they have history on their side, where drivers (and pilots) will use bad judgment and push it, sometimes with things like amphetamines or large doses of caffeine, to keep the wheels rolling. And now we have this, where you almost hate to see something like this happen: You'd...

    Yeah. Maybe I was wrong about the whole "not so gay" thing. Purple and teal are tough to get around.

    Imam Rauf: Moving Mosque Location Threatens Our National Security

    Oh, you bet there is. People snatch snippets of the Bible and interpret them and use them however they want all the time, usually to make others think like them. Who's interpretation is correct? Yours? Terry Jones? Mine? Context, in anything, whether it be the Bible or not, is extremely...

    There is little doubt in my mind that if you order something from him you'll get it. What I doubt, highly, is that he owns or is even a part owner in 4 manufacturing facilities, much less of the ridiculous size and scope he claims, nor does he own any part of several warehousing facilities, or a...

    Hana Express - Experience

    They're a small carrier out of Frankfort, IL. Cell phone dispatch (no Qualcomm), and do mostly NLM and other auto freight. Met a driver from there once. Seemed happy enough.

    Shirts and ties

    The bow tie is the best to wear with a polo shirt. Stylish, refined, understated, yet not so gay as to make people think you're gay.

    Imam Rauf: Moving Mosque Location Threatens Our National Security

    Yes, it does. Ironic, isn't it? Jesus was a big fan of the Old Testament, thoroughly approving of the Old Testament, its laws and the prophets. Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. So in Jesus' own words, the Old...

    Imam Rauf: Moving Mosque Location Threatens Our National Security

    Deuteronomy, 13:13-19 That wicked men are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known; Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing...

    But, but, but, at between 2.56 and 5 million exhaust assemblies per year, reaching $100 million is a piece of cake, assuming the average price of each assembly is between $20 and $39 a pop, give or take. EB mentioned the word scam. I'm not sure that truckpipes is a scam. I think if you order...
