    No freight!!!

    Too funny. Man, you just got OWNED! He posted facts in response to your opinions, and you change the subject to something completely irrelevant in a lame attempt at a drive-by insult as you cut and run. What does he voting for Bush a second time have to do with the facts that he posted...

    haz mad

    If the load requires placards, you must have a CDL with a HAZMAT endorsement. If it doesn't require placards, you don't need the HAZMAT endorsement because it's not classified as HAZMAT. Technically, there's no such thing as non-placardable HAZMAT. Part 383: Commercial Driver's License...

    U.S. Passports: made overseas, obscenely profitable

    Any idea how many critical and sensitive electronic components for things like signals processing, encryption, guidance systems, firing controls and other computer chips for the US military are made in China and Japan? It's a jaw-dropper. The F-22 Raptor, for example, has several critical...

    Biden Does It Again

    "Well, if I knew what I know now. How this country treats vets...." That's actually one of the big reasons behind all this. If everyone knew what it was like,... it's like walking a mile in a dispatcher's shoes, or a dispatcher having to drive a truck, kind a thing. Once you know what it's...

    Biden Does It Again

    Freedom of choice? You mean like taxes and stuff? :D Yeah, I know, a mandatory thing really does go directly against the whole notion of inalienable rights, with the biggest one being Liberty. But there should be some way to deal with that, same as dealing with the requirement that kids go to...

    Hawk: "If a pregnant woman is murdered, then the killer is usually charged with the murder of the unborn child, as well. If the courts deem that the being inside the womb is indeed a human life, how can that change just because someone wants an abortion?" Me: Well, the unborn child is a life...

    A metrosexual is just a male who is a little over the top concerned with his appearance. 35 types of cologne/aftershave and about 5 types of shampoo doesn't by itself make you a metrosexual. But it's a start. :)

    Biden Does It Again

    Is there anyone else besides me that thinks everyone, and I mean everyone, should have to do two years mandatory government service, preferably in the military, and then if not able-bodied or of sound mind or whatever the case may be, be assigned to other governmental duties? Like, two years...

    I was naughty today

    Well, I actually kept it brief (for once, yeah, I know :) ) and as non-technical as I could to make it understandable. I left a lot out, like how things like even kitty litter can cause a false positive. Carrying a bag of kitty litter for getting out of any snow, are ya? :) It was probably the...

    No, I read what you said, exactly, and comprehended it. I understand that you are not forcing anyone to believe in God, nor did I say you were. I simply used both God and abortion as two examples of beliefs that should not be be imposed onto others, and I used them together very deliberately...

    Ask Not

    Sheesh. OK, fine. We're a representative republic (not merely a republic), which is a democratic form of government, not a strict, direct majority rule form of government, and as such, democratic forms of government, (a.k.a., democracies), have historically lasted just about 200 years. There...
