    I Wanna Hijack a Thread

    Don't think the Catholics "gold" is going to come close to fixing that problem. But a funny comment nonetheless.

    I Wanna Hijack a Thread

    The operative word is "helped". Like many other countries, they have a long way to go, even according to your article. I will give you credit though in that you want the borders closed. Many on the left clearly don't support that position and think we should let all the poor in.

    I Wanna Hijack a Thread

    What would be the difference if both are starving? And again, at what point should we say no? You skipped over that question.

    I Wanna Hijack a Thread

    I don't think most have a issue with showing some compassion. The bigger question would be for how long and at what cost? Since we are doing nothing at the border, what is that breaking point? At some point we will have to say no. If not, mind as well start running flights to Ethiopia and bring...

    Birth control is a issue down there, but it isn't something we can do much about because it is largely religious and political down there. Ending unwanted pregnancies in Latin America | Gates Cambridge Unless you are invading, you not going to change that. Money isn't the biggest problem on...

    Re: Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border. Birth control has zero impact on children coming from South America. The word is already out. The more kids you have and bring over the border, the more in US aid you will receive. White House already is moving money for aid including...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    And let us not forget. We are in addition to taking care of these people, we are sending big money in aid to these countries that they are fleeing. What are we thinking? Cut the aid to these countries.

    Michigan, your state is next, for starters.

    Well, one thing for sure is the Washington excuse is to save the foreign illegal children from gang violence in these southern countries. Have to wonder how that would be sold in say a place like Chicago? Plenty of gang violence there.

    Michigan, your state is next, for starters.

    And on a related note, the 3.7 Billion dollar babysitting fee that Obama wants is exactly the same number they came up with to close the border and said it was too expensive. :rolleyes: No need to complicate the simple. Either close them or open them wide up. I think we are headed for the...

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    That was my original point. If language was a barrier, they didn't have to hire them in the first place. Now the government hiring is much different, but a private company isn't obligated to hire them if they didn't speak English. They just simply don't tell them why they weren't hired.

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    I would to some degree fault the company for hiring non English speaking people in the first place if they felt that should be a requirement. Can't fire someone that was never hired.

    Free Trucks

    How the maintenance is handle through that two year period would be critical. Who pays for what and under what conditions? If it wiped out a transmission or engine, then what? And as mentioned, the simple things like tires? Lot of items and things to look at.

    Free Trucks

    The ad doesn't say. One would have to see a contract and the trucks to make that determination. Outside of that, it may not be worth anything at the end of the two years. So in that case, why bother? If it is a 06 and it runs for another two years, it would equivalent to a 04 today. Not really...

    Free Trucks

    I don't believe it is free either. As to whether it is a good idea is too hard to tell. No where near enough information to make any kind of assessment.

    Why do people post thread after thread blaming the American people?

    We are likely to tolerate a little more if the tire discount goes to 30 percent. :cool:
