Truce! And Merry Christmas to all of you and yours. :)

I think we all know why Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard could say their piece without being made to suffer for it, and it isn't where they were when they said it. It's because neither of them is an uppity liberal female, is the difference. Especially one whose talent has been widely recognized...

If you find AMonger's obsessive ignorance about homosexuals driving your blood pressure up, here's what I do: picture all the people he knows, accepts, and genuinely likes [or just treats the same as ordinary people] - because he has no idea of their sexual orientation. That makes me smile every...

We keep a REAL close eye on the ones who can't mention someone with whom they disagree without including an insulting reference to their appearance, ie: "fat". Because their appearance is absolutely relevant to the merits of the argument. After reading all of this, [and there are some good...

GLAAD promotes tolerance, but is that supposed to include tolerance for anything & everything? You don't suppose they tolerate mass murder, do you? Lynching, maybe? Roasting babies? The tolerance they promote is for treating others with respect, and when Phil Robertson equates gay people with...

I don't see how an entertainer onstage with a mic, commenting on a huge current event can be described as 'going out of her way', but anyhow: both expressed an opinion that offended people. When the conservatives were offended, there wasn't a whisper of freedom of speech, but when they agree...

So, how many of you who are defending Phil Robertson's right to speak his mind did the same for the Dixie Chicks when they were ashamed of George Bush [in his race to invade Iraq]? Their music was banned from 'country' stations, bonfires were held in public and people invited to toss their CDs...

That's a pretty lame excuse, I think. ;)

Zane: how many homosexuals do you actually know?

The issue is that Robertson has the right to say whatever he likes and people should accept it, because "it's in the Bible". So does that mean anything and everything in the Bible is acceptable? Or do people just pick the parts they agree with, and ignore the ones that nobody agrees with...

That vid is awesome, lol. I know it's not good news for workers, but it's the future, and we need to find ways to adapt. Without losing the hope for 'upward mobility' that has sustained us for generations.

There are some family members who are liberal, and they disagree with my support for gun ownership, but nobody considers the other side a 'nazi'. I don't carry guns into their homes, and they don't try to take mine away. That's how it works. I'm wondering what the response would be if the...

This is about RLENT, not about what he said. That is a personal attack. And being on the subject of getting banned for personal attacks from one who has been banned for personal attacks, it was stupid, too. That is just a fact. Asking how stupid is a commonly used expression of incredulity, same...

Phil Robertson suspended from 'Duck Dynasty' | www.ajc.com He also said that black people never felt unhappy about slavery or discrimination, because he worked along side them, and they were always happy. So he knows what they were thinking. And it goes for all black people, not just the ones...

I never thought I'd live to see the day when a fundamentalist Bible thumper is called a "free thinker" whose opinion is "different" - just saying.

Out of bounds. Uncalled for. Unacceptable. Do you think this is in ANY way a legitimate contribution? It's your opinion, yes, but it's also a gratuitous personal attack, for which you have been banned yourself. Really: how stupid are you?!

Now that you clarified, I agree, it shouldn't matter - to anyone else. But you know how people are: if you drive for Swift, you're dumb & inexperienced, JB Hunt: you're a traitor, FedEx, you're 'stuck up', etc. It's all malarkey, but that's what some people "know".

I agree that it doesn't matter what size you drive, but some seem to think that 4 wheels isn't a "real" driver. I left out that I also drove a cargo van, so I know better. I disagree about who you drive for, though, because that matters. A lot.

It probably isn't any help in this case, but a speeding ticket of 1-5 mph is not subject to CSA points, either. I think because the speedometers cannot be guaranteed for accuracy any closer than that.

If one takes 8 hrs in the sleeper, it extends the 14 hr deadline by 8 hrs, at which point one must take the remaining 2 hrs off, then the full 14 is available again. Example: Drive 1000-1400. [4 hrs drive time.] Sleep 1400- 2200. @ 2200, can drive another 7 hrs [until 0500], then need to stop...
