It was a good enough reason for the colonies to dump tea in Boston Harbor & declare war [in so many words] on their King.....:o Actually, that's just half - it's because they want it really, really badly, and they believe having it would harm no one, individually or collectively.

Agreed: there should be some limit in place as to how long a truck must wait before pulling the plug. And finding out what the compensation is for waiting shouldn't be like pulling teeth, either. [I'm assuming that's difficult, as I've never done it, lol] Dispatch is trying, [3 offers today...

That's what I've said ever since the media began spotlighting the danger of cellphones & texting: focusing on that makes people disregard the fact that it's distraction that is hazardous, not just the phone. Smart phones and apps are a real concern: how many people are checking something on...

Can't tell you how sorry I am to take your spot, but after 2 [!] days of waiting, [one for freight to cross border, one to unload truck], my load out of Laredo just cancelled. How does this even happen?!

Whoever she is, she's a pretty smart cookie, lol. Me, personally, I don't like fishing. Except for crabs - that's hilarious: hang a piece of slimy chicken tied with string over the pier, watch the crabs swim up for a nibble, and net them! Pretty soon, they're waiting in line for their turn, lol...

Truckstops are putting CNG stations in everywhere. In the back, where there was already not enough truck parking, sigh. I mentioned it because vans probably don't drive to the backside of the truckstops.

I don't care if they offer porn, but how can they defend child pornography, which is illegal? [Because "it's a good decision for the shareholders, as it increases profits"?]

Why now? Why not now? The simple answer is because now is when gay people have collectively decided 'enough is enough' and they are no longer willing to pretend to be what they can not be. And why should they? Because it makes some people feel disgust? Well, people used to feel disgust when...

I understand why they're used, too, and the truth has nothing to do with it - it's all about manipulating emotional responses. They use the same tactics on everything from billboards with adorable already born babies to the forced ultrasound & 'counseling' requirements: all designed to make...

So you'd be fine with protesters against rape showing graphic images of lacerated vaginas? How about protesting child abuse by showing images of beaten children? Or sexually abused toddlers? There is a point beyond which civilized discourse doesn't venture, and graphic images of aborted fetuses...

You are correct that the science needs to be reviewed, but the fact is that they've been looking for waves that would show the pattern of distortion for a very long time, and didn't find it. Newer instruments are capable of catching much smaller images, and there is the exact pattern they...

You guys are hilarious. I'm not defending the Professor, just observing that graphic images of aborted fetuses are intentionally inflammatory, the display of which in public is not moral behavior, IMO. That the images provoked a pregnant woman to behave irrationally would surprise no one who has...

Making a career in a male dominated environment doesn't prove I'm capable of thinking for myself, it just proves I don't let the ******** get me down, especially when I know they're wrong. When you say that I just repeat 'liberal propaganda' instead of thinking for myself, you are very wrong...

And the anti choice camp doesn't use "pretty phrases"? You know, like "innocent babies" instead of fetus? and those photos of adorable already born babies they always use, because the truth would not be nearly so persuasive? The argument is really pretty persuasive: gays don't claim to have...

Do you believe science has found ALL the answers to everything already? [Or anything, for that matter] There's so much more that remains to be discovered, and the thing is, they're not likely to find things they aren't even looking for. I don't think there's a whole lot of heavy research in this...

I don't see doing the right thing as warm and fuzzy- it's just the right thing to do. I may be wrong about it, but I have to go with what I believe, and **** the consequences.

People who carry signs at a protest depicting "graphic images of aborted fetuses" don't get to claim the moral high ground, IMO. Nor should they be surprised to be attacked by a pregnant woman. :rolleyes:
