    Handicapped

    Holy crip, he's a crapple! What's wrong with "cripple sticker"? It describes perfectly the handicapped sticker or tag in the window. What if he'd said "blue sticker"? Would that offensive to "people with disabilities" who are depressed and down in the dumps that day? The definition of "cripple"...

    No, I am not a mental defective. Thanks for asking, though. The Liberals hate everybody. They say they don't, but their actions speak louder.

    ExpeditersOnline.com I have an idea

    Not to put too fine a point on it, but the term as it applies to computers and Internet forums, originates from Usenet, and is defined as: n. [Usenet, GEnie, CompuServe] Common abbreviation of `topic thread', a more or less continuous chain of postings on a single topic. To `follow a thread' is...

    I dunno. I don't listen to him. Maybe he reads my stuff. :D

    OKC officer pulls man over for anti-Obama sign

    That's why it's called a mistake, and that's why the police apologized for it. Then you're obviously on the same list, correct? I supposed we all are. Based on your comments, I was really hoping you merely read the headline, and then assumed the worst. Tragically, that's not the case. Yes it is...

    If no one replies, is it technically a thread?

    MSsnow needs your prayer

    I'm so sorry to hear that she passed away, John. I know it can be heartbreaking under any circumstances, but especially when you see improvement, in rehab, and then it happens. The same thing happened to my dad. Then, when my mom had her stroke, she was fully recovered within 6 months and lived...

    Interesting. The Canadian wants things to be better for all Canadians forever, bin Laden wants to be isolated and left alone, and the biker wants to just kill everyone in the Middle East.

    OKC officer pulls man over for anti-Obama sign

    Well, gee, based on your comments here, it's hard to believe that you actually read the story. I don't think it's unbelievable at all that a local cop could make a mistake. It happens all the time all over the country. And since the Secret Service didn't find any evidence that he was a threat to...

    Ramos and Compean Released Today

    I can get emotional as the next guy, but I really don't like it when other people start playing with mine, trying to manipulate me because of my emotions. It doesn't matter if it's a left wing kook, a right wing kook, a car salesman, or someone trying to convince me that I have restless leg...

    Ramos and Compean Released Today

    I'm very conservative, just not conservative to the point of seeing only what I want to see, and dismissing logic and reason. :D In the case of Ramos and Compean, I refuse to let my own personal philosophy of the issue allow the ends to justify the means, to allow emotional issues of wants and...

    Seller says it's the best Truck GPS

    PC Miler does not do GPS routing. Their CoPilot Truck 11 does. It's $199 without a GPS receiver ($299 with one).

    Sprinter EGR valve, again!

    The Mobile 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40 is a 229.3 oil, and should not be used in an '08 Sprinter. Unfortunately, not all Sprinter dealers are up to speed on many things. One thing is for certain, when it comes to the Sprinter's bodily fluids, always stick to the list. If it's not on the list...

    Ramos and Compean Released Today

    Absolutely. He probably was a little over zealous. On the other hand, he has to work with border guards on a regular basis, and not many prosecutors will bend over backwards to nail a cop unless there's good reason, especially as in this case where it was still a quiet little local story when...

    Ramos and Compean Released Today

    This whole thing quickly became a political football, largely due to the polar opposites on some of the issues, the main one being illegal immigration. Those who are vehemently against illegals took one side, and basically skewed the facts to support their cause, the mainstream media didn't...

    Seller says it's the best Truck GPS

    I read it that way, too, but wanted to make a Grammar Nazi point. It may very well be that truckerjohn is just an enthusiastic buyer of a certain eBayer's items, I dunno. But I do know this isn't the only site he's posted the same things to. ;)

    Seller says it's the best Truck GPS

    I have no idea how to respond to that. I feel foolish. If I were to assume you meant to say, "Turtle, somebody gave me the system, please tell me it's not so," I'm still not quite sure how to respond. Am I to tell you that someone really didn't give you the system? What, exactly, am I supposed...
