Ok, calling it a "Hate Summit" is overkill, [but not by much!], but since they no longer use the "values" label in campaigns, it's up for grabs. I don't think I've ever seen such a list of crazy statements, misrepresentations, and outright lies being taken seriously by alleged adults. It...

I know I want one, just comparison shopping now, but the one question I haven't found an answer to is whether they all operate off the 12V outlet? I have only one, and really don't want to add more 'stuff' to it [already alternating between Garmin & charging the mp3 on long drives]. Do any have...

Ummm - what's the reason for so many long time members being labeled 'new'? [I suspect it changes when you post under the new format, in which case: never mind, lol] Also, what's the diff between, say, Highway Star's 'active member' label, and Moot's 'well known'? And is 'well known' a good...

That's one reason I don't want to have to move over a lane to allow them to enter - they're exactly the oblivious types who won't let you move back again! They hover just where you don't have enough room to get in front, so you have to slow down to get behind, or speed up & hope there's not a...

Of course it's the 'job' of those entering to merge, but when they don't [or won't], I have to either accommodate them, or run over them. I think they probably deserve to be run over, but the delay in my schedule and the ridiculous paperwork involved makes it smarter to just run in the middle...

No matter how well Cruz "handles himself" in the coming months, he's already got his message out, and a large number of citizens [some are even Republicans too] don't agree with it. Blaming "the media" is just shooting the messenger when you don't like the message.

That didn't answer the question I asked, Leo. We all know there are many "enthusiasts", but I wonder about those who aren't. Those who got a permit because their life requires them to be in sketchy places from time to time, or those who sometimes transport "high value" items, or even those who...

We need more like Jon Stewart!

The only 'proof' required is the belief that one is defending oneself or others against great bodily injury or death. A sincere belief [even if completely wrong] is a 'get out of jail free' card. I don't know how much training is required for a CCW permit, [I suspect it varies by state], but...

But Elizabeth Warren isn't known for an effort to shut the entire government down because she didn't like one policy. Cruz was "ridiculed" long before he announced his candidacy, not because of it, as you posit. Cruz is fearless at delivering the conservative message: lower taxes on the...

As I read the second article, the only role "Big Brother" has here is funding [to the tune of $15K - peanuts!] a device to measure the usage of water in hotels. After that, it's up to the free market to decide whether it's useful or not - and I'm guessing hotels will be torn between saving on...

I started out staying in the right lane, but found maintaining a steady speed often impossible, too many drivers entering/exiting forcing me to speed up or slow down to accommodate them. I try to keep speed and lane changes to a minimum, so the middle lane works for me.

It "proves" nothing at all.

I believe you nailed it: "stories" like this are meant to stir fake outrage, [and it works] in order to distract attention from what is actually being accomplished by legislators - and it works at that, too. Bravo for the vid clip, couldn't have said it better. "We are number one in just 3...

Ted Cruz has about as much chance of being POTUS as the Easter Bunny. :o

I agree that it was a very bad idea, because real genuine conversations can't be forced. Not to mention that in the setting of a retail business, where others are waiting to be served, conversation is far from a a crowd pleaser. I can't agree with dragging Obama into it, though. It's true that...

This time, I clicked on the link within the linked article, which explains that the water measurement device is a wireless contraption designed by students, and that the free market, not the government, will decide if it is a good idea. Hotels can choose to use it or not, and guests can check...

As I said: this particular incident didn't appear to be racially motivated. If the students & other protesters feel it was, there will be facts and figures to back them up. The relevance of the other incidents in the spotlight lately is that it may give people hope that their complaints of...

I prefer the middle lane. As Turtle's post mentioned, there are fewer "opportunities for interaction" than the right lane, and if I'm not passing, I don't belong in the left lane, even when it's allowed. The 'opportunities for interaction' is why I dislike driving in states with different...

You'll never know, lol.
