I hope advances continue to be made. I love Judas Priest too much to keep my hearing.

Yep, that one astounds me. Sure, there are some people with glandular or metabolic problems that have an excuse, but the vast, vast majority of the time, one, like me, is fat because we eat too much for our activity level. It's only a disease in that obesity interferes with cellular processes...

Suspending the Constitution, aka martial law, does not exist in this country. There are no provisions for it in the Constitution. It is not listed as a power of the government, therefore it does not exist as a power of the government. Further, it is the constitution that gives the federal...

I would institute very harsh criminal penalties for any elected or appointed official who violates it, up to and including capital punishment for some violations. Mandatory and on-the-spot.

I've seen similar vids of people getting cochlear implants turned on for the first time, which I imagine this is, though they weren't hearing themselves but their family. The reaction is always very similar; immediate tears, shock, or both. Hard to imagine what that's like.

Newbies and wanna-bes, pay heed. I used to run a forum for wanna-be drivers (big trucks only). I got an email from one guy who was figuring how much he could make. ".xx per mile, x 11 hours a day at 70 mph = big bucks, right?" he queried. I had to shatter his dreams, telling him why and how he...

Without doubt, Petro/TA is better than Pilot for actual trucks. The shower credits work for you that way. Just isn't nicer for vanners that need shower credits when fueling. Fort Wayne, for me. Just finished a crazy week during which every load was screwed up. Was going to go home, but then my...

So all any furren leader who wants to goad you into an attack has to do is sail his navy off your coastline IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS? Sounds like the making of another Gulf of Tonkin incident, and it would leave you very susceptible to false flag attacks. Being that hot headed and predictable...

It'll be the pedophiles, next. Their advocacy group will surface in a but, out maybe the beast-ophiles. We're careening down the proverbial slippery slope.

There are many manufacturers and models of Android phones, each with their own design. A few have physical keyboards; most don't.

iPhones suck. The day the salesman convinced me to give up my old Treo for an iPhone was a dark day. If you've had a truly advanced phone, the iPhone will be a step down. If you're just had regular phones before, an iPhone might impress you for a while. Surfing the net is the only thing they do...

My recommendation is to stay away from Sprint entirely. With their network, I dont know how they can even call themselves a national wireless company. I got away from then as fast as I could once I found the immense gaps in their coverage.

Stoops Freighter, Indy... Clutch went out, so I floated it in. They had it for quite a while. When it was done and I went to pick it up, they said there was a problem. As soon as they put it in reverse to back it out of the shop, it went BANG! The tranny blew up. The guy at the desk showed me...

Jeez, that's twice I've been on Snopes today. That's entirely too much. If you look at mirrors you know to be these observation mirrors, it's quite obvious that's what they are. I thought everybody could tell just by a quick glance. I just wonder if the cops think they're fooling anybody with...

I'm guessing that one of those three is the one he's trying to replace...

Not to mention the fact that it's quite obvious that the person who wrote this: unquestionably didn't write the piece in the OP, at least not without some major copy editing. I'm sure CL is a nice enough guy to have a beer with, but it's quite obvious the real writer paid attention in English...

Our defense budget is more than adequate to handle the non-threat of a sovereign nation sending their navy into international waters. Ever see Whale Wars on Animal Planet? I love that show, mostly to see the leftist vegan kooks screw up repeatedly. I'm guessing life aboard an Iranian navy...

The following is an exhaustive list of all companies selling comprehensive health insurance in the US at reasonable rates:

I met a guy in El Paso that had one on his van. If your damages were 9K and 3 weeks off, it sounds like cheap insurance. The guy said just be sure to not tighten it down so much that there's no give to it. According to him, you WANT the give to absorb some of the impact. I have no idea how much...

I'm pretty sure everybody knew this was fiction, and as Turtle said, rather poor fiction. But then again, most of those "you're garbage if you don't forward this" things are.
