Like seat belt & helmet laws, Obamacare is a great big gift to the insurance industry - like they deserve it.:mad:

Pilgrim: I am 100% behind the right to bear arms, but I'm also troubled by the ease with which people who cannot be trusted can obtain weapons, so I feel some common sense restrictions are needed. Damifino what they are, [except the 'loopholes' like no background checks at gun shows need to be...

In several places, [including Cleveland, Oh] they are now allowing private enterprise to raise taxes, too - why am I not surprised? More to the point, why don't the citizens even know it's happening?

It's comedy and tragedy, wise people and wise guys, real truckers [some of whom drive a van] and newbies - who could ask for anything more? :)

If you seriously think either winter or Justin Bieber were ever cute [gag me!] or exciting [puhleeze!], then you need to stop drinking. Or start. ;)

*waves* Hello yourself - always nice to lure the lurkers in, lol. Welcome!

It's not just the "younger" generation it appeals to - I think it's great to see a POTUS who isn't afraid to have fun when it's appropriate, even laughing at himself sometimes. Being "Presidential" shouldn't mean being weighted down with the gravitas of it all 24/7, I hope. Besides, I think...

I hope you posted this for general knowledge, and not as a response to the OP, because if he/she hasn't found anywhere in nearly 5 years, he/she isn't capable enough to drive for a living. Just sayin......;)

This is one I've never run into, and it is just mind boggling, frankly. If I have a BOL that shows freight to be delivered to that address, I'd say if they refuse it, I could return it to the shipper. They're welcome to see [and make a copy of] the vehicle registration and my license, but who...

What I read in Obama's speech was simply a reminder about "people who live in glass houses", in order to forestall the serious [as in bodily injury & death] Muslim bashing that inevitably occurs when one fanatic part of a larger group commits atrocities. It's the same speech we heard [not from...

ALEC is private businesses and ​conservative legislators - hardly representative of all the citizens. And it seems highly unlikely that legislators "helped write it" when the identical legislation is passed in several states where ALEC is involved. I don't like the idea of corporations writing...

In the first link, where it said "gerrymandering is usually thought of as a bipartisan offense", then explained why the 2010 Republican plan was particularly egregious. But you shouldn't have to click the link to know it's something both sides do.

Remarks by the President at National Prayer Breakfast | The White House He didn't tell anyone "not to criticize", in fact, he called ISIL "a brutal, vicious death cult", and I'm ****ed if I can see where he criticized Christians, or minimized America's values, either. :confused:

In many ways, it does: without the huge military budget, we might be forced to get creative about resolving conflict without killing people.

Humans don't "need conflict to advance science"! Intellectual curiosity is inherent in most humans, to some degree: we want to know the answers, and that advances science.

Sorry, Pilgrim, but they most certainly mentioned that gerrymandering is done by both parties. That's something that needs to be truly bipartisan.

Buy a logbook at any truckstop, directions are printed on them for HOS. Not sure if they include the latest mandated 30 min break after 8 hrs drive time, [which needs flagged on a paper log, because they might not know why you took a 30 minute break, right?] but it should be included on the elog...

I'm going to have to read the text of Obama's speech - I don't believe he "admonished everybody to back off and give ISIS a little slack" - they are terrorists, plain & simple. No comment on the Crusades, because history is written in different ways by different sides, but as far as Jim Crow...

If the society we live in today gets its news exclusively from television, we are definitely doomed. Even online news is woefully inadequate, but tv news is a farce, strictly to produce revenue from ads. What a sad comment on our society that is!

PS: after the way Obama has been treated by the opposition for all six years so far, I can't blame him for being angry or vindictive. They made it clear that if he was for it, they were against it, no matter what "it" was. Cutting off their own noses to spite their faces is hardly a...
