I'm actually very conservative. I'm also a pragmatist, a realist, employ critical thinking and reasoning skills. And even though they are plain for all to see, you somehow managed to completely miss the methods I used to handle my labels about you, as that is the only logical explanation for you...

I'm looking forward to seeing a beautiful body morphed up there on India's head.

No, you posted the paranoid perception of an imagined truth. There's a difference. They have been fighting in the Middle East for a long, long time, and it's not likely to end any time soon. Your fear may very well come true, as history shows that is very likely. But the reasons behind it are...

Beemer's all bent out of shape about dual citizenship and the Jews, er, excuse me, the Zionists, having taken over the US government to support Israel, without once giving thought to the notion that Israel is nothing more than a de facto 51st State that is located in a very strategic position on...

Clearly, you have your own "special" definition of what a Zionist is that allows you to be antisemitic without being antisemitic, which is pretty impressive in its own right. The rest of the world defines a Zionist as a supporter of Zionism, which is the 19th century born movement against...

You guys are missing the point. This is Israel we're talking about. Zionist Ground Zero. They are not supposed to exist (even though they kinda sorta have for more than 3500 years, but that's beside the point), since by doing so it enables them to take over the world. We can't coddle them with...

If you haven't seen it, you should check out the opening sequence of the 09-13-08 Saturday Night Live. One of the most spot-on skits in the history of the show. Absolutely hilarious. Saturday Night Live - Palin / Hillary Open - Video - NBC.com

Kewl. Thanks. :)

hehe It's all good. I signed a contract to haul for a certain rate, knowing full well that many loads would have paid significantly more if I were on a percentage of those loads. Then again I also know that carriers who pay a percentage will skim that like crazy and filter it through various...

It really doesn't matter what percentage of participation is involved, unless the sole purpose is for Panther to make the most amount of money it can from the flat FSC program. I saw the actual numbers at Con-Way, and it's a significant advantage for the house. More loads will have a higher FSC...

One comment from an AP News story just cracks me up: "The oil industry was trying to find out how severe damage was to at least 10 production platforms destroyed by the storm." Uhm, if the platforms were destroyed, one would think the oil industry would be smart enough to figure out that the...

Yep, the spirit of true warez is not to steal it and then sell it, which is scummy and slimy in the extreme, but to share it. Started with software, then MP3's, then movies and TV. For many years I operated a rather large, very secure, private FTP site that contained, uhm, let's see...

Some of it is real, some of it is gouging. All of it should be relatively short term, possibly as long as the end of September. Still, the price of crude has dropped significantly over the last couple of weeks prior to Ike, yet the pump prices remained relatively steady. That question will...

It's not that heavy of a drain on the batteries at all. There's the inside heating Espar, and then there's the one that does both. The one that keeps the engine warm does, indeed, go through a lot of fuel. Mine is the Airtronic 4, the bigger one for inside-only heating, and even when it's below...

No, it's not right, then again, are they really losing money if I download a movie instead of not seeing it at the theater? No, they're not, not really. That doesn't make it right, I know, but they aren't being damaged by it, either. It's when people re-sell these movies for a profit that the...

Any time I get a load going to Laredo, if I take it, I do so with the knowledge that I will be there for a week. If it delivers in Laredo on a Friday or the weekend, I can figure 10 days. I usually get out of there much quicker than that, but if I don't it doesn't bother me, cause I knew that...

I forgot to comment on the above. It's not a matter of $200 versus $400, it's a matter of how heavy of a bag you're left holding if you want to get out of this (if you fail). I entered this business with a used Ford E-350 that I paid for with $5000 cash. I then put, I dunno, $2000 maybe into it...

Quite likely, yes. Don't know your carrier or their customer base, though, but in any case those numbers are too high. More likely your per mile figure, including FSC, will be a good dime or more less than you think. But, first order of business is to completely discard the silly notion that...
