    Modern Life In Appalachia

    I just read of an interesting study that might shed another ray of light: the 'message' voiced by men's mags [Playboy, Maxim, Field & Stream {?!}] is basically that everyone is having sex. The message voiced by women's mags is that sex must be consensual, and women should never engage because...

    Plame speaks.

    Maybe you should reread that topic, because we discussed the difference between a genuine mistake and a deliberate decision to exact revenge. Unless you know of some evidence that this was other than a mistake? :confused:

    First Lady signs legislation into law

    Maybe you'd be taken more seriously if you started proofreading and "catched" mistakes before posting - just sayin....;)

    Gowdy takes MSM to the woodshed

    So who introduced the press conference and Allen West into the discussion, hmmmm? I'll cop to Stacy Dash, because: Benghazi! Ok, seriously: because something about Allen West and Fox just seems to make her a natural [if there's anything natural about her at all :rolleyes:] companion.

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    Having raised a couple of kids to adulthood, I really feel sorry for parents like the one in this story, because I know there are some 'kids' who simply cannot be 'taught'. Trained, yes, to respond out of fear, but that's not learning, it's self preservation, and the 'lessons' don't get...

    roads of the future

    Why would the initial investment have to be huge? It wouldn't be done all at once, just as repairs/replacements are needed. Those use time & money too, so the disruption would be minimal, and the investment would be well worth it, IMO. As for the government, well, what can I say? It's not...

    MAY LOCATIONS Mayday Mayday Mayday

    I put one in my cargo van, found it in the 'Scratch & Dent' section of someplace in Indiana, where they do a lot of conversion van work. The seats fit on the base already in the van, not sure about a Sprinter. They were kind of surprised that I wanted to pick it up instead of shipping it, but it...

    Technical log question...

    Um, technically, the log never ends - it's 24/7/365. I'm sure you meant to ask whether the 14 hour workday starts when the phone rings, and the answer is no, because it is less than 6 minutes, and there's no way I'm logging it. :p

    Of course - because wheel chocks don't roll, lol. ;)

    Modern Life In Appalachia

    The repeated references to his "enemies" is pretty chilling, when you know he's referring to "people who have sex"...... "If I can't, then no one else should" - what a miserable, twisted attitude to have, even if you don't mean it as literally as he did.

    First Lady signs legislation into law

    When they speed read or skim in order to make it appear they're not reading it, mistakes happen - to everyone, every day. But she didn't say Michelle Obama "has the power to sign", she said Michelle Obama "signed". A vastly different thing, and a simple enough mistake - unless you're desperate...

    Gowdy takes MSM to the woodshed

    If the article on Allen West is a 'jagged pill', it would be for those who support this nutjob - it didn't hurt me a bit. [I've never had a bad time, laughing.] And yes, the line about "God sent" was hilarious: he doesn't believe in coincidences, so therefore, it must have been God? Allen West...

    Gowdy takes MSM to the woodshed

    Rove told the grand jury that three days later, he had a phone conversation with Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper and, in an effort to discredit some of Wilson's allegations, informally told Cooper that he believed Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, though he never used her name. "He never...

    More bad news.

    Yep: the insurance carrier. They get to write the rules, and we get to follow them, whether they make any sense or not. Helmets and seat belts are proof that it doesn't have to make a bean's worth of difference in preventing an accident to become federal law. The insurance lobby has serious juice.

    Man forced son to carry 23# rock

    Dad charged for forcing teen to carry landscape stone "Military style punishment" is what works best for the military's goals, but parents have [or should] a different outcome to work towards. Teaching a child the wrong in spending too much time playing video games, at the expense of more...

    This waiting period!!

    Hey geffrey, if you've been reading here for that long, you know I have a proofreader's eye and warped sense of humor, [bad combo, lol] and what caught my attention is the number of years of membership vs the number of posts. Someone with your experience probably has some good stuff to share, I...

    Electric chair to return

    Even those who are against abortion except in cases of rape, concede that sometimes, abortion is the best solution. Interestingly, those times happen to be when the woman didn't choose to have sex. But they refuse to apply the same logic to the women who chose to have sex, and did not intend to...

    Modern Life In Appalachia

    Really, Turtle? Aside from the fact that the shooter was not mentally healthy, there is one huge difference: gay teens who fear society's [not just the object of their affections, or even their peers, but a much larger segment of the population] scorn, don't kill others when they decide life...

    Gowdy takes MSM to the woodshed

    Uh uh - it happened because Pilgrim linked the Kabul incident to the Plame incident, in an effort to blame the MSM for not reporting the outrage of Benghazi enough. :rolleyes:

    Electric chair to return

    It's a 'problem' you [generic you!] created, with your beliefs, but that doesn't give you the right to make it a problem for those whose beliefs are different. Especially when the opposing beliefs are based upon facts, and guaranteed by law, based upon the Constitution you [personal you!] claim...
