The tax deduction and depreciation is all fine well and good, but I'm with Guido, mostly. My first van was for $5000 cash, and then I put a few thousand more into for repair and maintenance getting it road ready, then some for outfitting it. Drive it for a long time paid-for, and saved for a...

Sorry, no straw man here. I didn't misrepresent, or represent at all, your original position, and then attack it. I asked a simple question, a rhetorical one that that, and you got defensive because you knew, even without me saying it, what I was thinking. Awesome. Circular logic is the...

Why is it that when someone disagrees with you, you immediately take a personal shot at them? This has nothing to do with my not thinking properly or the inability to see the big picture. It's the big picture that I'm looking at, actually, rather than looking at it solely from the point of view...

AppleCare confirmed that the new software update for the new iPhone will not fix the signal loss problem, although the new signal strength algorithm will confirm less bars in more places. The Apple Faithful are despondent. Their faith has been shattered. Some can barely function.They just don't...

Float the rumor, spread the scare... The economy is shaky. People begin to thing the economy is shaky. People stop spending. Pretty soon the economy is shaky. Pollution, crime, drugs, poverty and despair, disease, hunger - we throw gobs of money at them and problems only get worse. Why...

It's all good. They're all Muslims, and the only good Muslim is a dead Muslim. Onward Christian Soldiers We sang "Onward, Christian Soldiers" indeed, and I felt that this was no vain presumption, but that we had the right to feel that we serving a cause for the sake of which a trumpet has...

Back in 1975 a date and I were robbed at gunpoint in a parking garage in downtown Cincinnati by a black man. Therefore, I hate all black people. This purely rational hatred was reinforced when I was once again robbed at gunpoint outside of a restaurant in Nashville in 1986. Now I really hate 'em...

The deal is, buy a used van for $5000, immediately put another $5000 into it for maintenance to replace anything that is likely to go wrong and for outfitting it for expediting (like insulation and a bed), and then have another $5000 in the bank. If you buy a new van, you'll still need to put...

"It is a matter of trying to reach out and get the best of all worlds, if you will, and there is much to be gained by drawing in the contributions that are possible from the Muslim (nations)," Charles Bolden said. Yeah, that just makes me want to hurl. Almost as much as when they had that Jew...

Yes, exactly. Yes, exactly. <giggle> It would be even more presumptuous to do it based on someone else's opinion, dontcha think? Yes, I am aware of that. It was a satire of "The Boy King". No one minded it because of the context and the available applicable connotations. It should also be noted...

The 430 is the original first generation unit. No new units are being produced, although some can still be found for purchase, and map updates are of course still available. The 440 is the second generation unit with better electronics, a nicer rubberized case, and a jack for an external GPS...

Some carriers state that you cannot disconnect or disable the Qualcomm so at least they know where you (and their equipment) are. Of course, that doesn't prevent you from turning the volume on the QC down all the way. And since cell phones aren't 100% reliable, they can't expect it to be 100%...

If you know how the Internet works, and if you've actually read the bill rather than read bloggers who pump out just a snotload of misinformation (like the one in the linked article), then you'd know Lieberman is right about needing the ability to turn off sections of the Internet in times of...

Skipping meals is the surest road to obesity. It slows your metabolism to a crawl. I know.

Do you know why STI and HIV cases are frequently concentrated around major transportation routes? Because that's where most people live!! To gather information about the “risk behaviors” of truck drivers, the study proposed doing five things, starting with the focus groups and interviews...

Close, sort of. 70% of all Internet porn traffic occurs during the 9-to-5 workday, but 70% of all porn traffic is not even close to being 70% of all Internet traffic, especially since very little porn traffic occurs outside the 9-to-5 work day. But, 12% of Web sites are porn related. 8% of...

Actually, I thought it was very poorly said. Comparing the trials and tribulations of expediting, or anything else, to that of serving in combat is disingenuous and silly. To say that the only things you are allowed to complain about are combat related issues, or that any issues other than...

Keep reading through the threads, especially the ones about the Pilot deal, and you'll find it. :D

Yes, honest enough. I respect and honor you for not bowing out of the premise and saying that you simply wouldn't ever meet him face to face. :) I also would call him Mr President. But if the opportunity arose and he was open to it, I would also be brutally honest. What's it gonna hurt?
