Iain: That means 10 in the clip PLUS one in the chamber, for a total of 11 chances to stop the f'ing bastard trying to carjack you.

I would patently disagree. The "greenies" have discovered that the best way to change things to the way they want is to get into the organizations who write the rules. This has happened in the USFS and I am sure it happens in other areas.

Oops!! Sorry, Jim, it's already on the way. Just kidding. It just seems that everyone has credentials to support their opinions, so why not publish the text of the rules you are discussing to prove your point?

You sound like a dancing fucking fool, j_b. F-off you commie elitist prick.

What's 22 years of experience in light of the fact that many people believe that the Earth is hundreds of millions of years old? Poseur. Sheesh. I'm with you RobBob

Why would one believe that NOAA is free from scientific bias?

Massage is a good one. I, personally, would scale it back a bit so as not to overburden the sore shoulder and also to avoid an over-compensation injury to the healthy shoulder. Ibuprofen before workouts and maybe ice after workouts, would also help.

DFA - Fuck you you fucking fuck.

Just do the lat pulls with one arm!!! That's what Twight would do.

Build a moisture farm like on Tattoine.

Gee, Iain, it doesn't sound like you're too committed to solving this problem.

Raise your own beef, it's healthier, cheaper, and super-tasty.

fc9 - Read part of the article and printed it out. Sounds cool if they can make it viable and market-friendly (as in, affordable). With fewer parts the unions will fight this tooth and nail. You are talking about putting union labor out of work, or displacing them, and they won't like that. Will it power my Silverado?

This is not profiling. Stop re-defining the term. Communism isn't just about the Cold War, j_b; it's an ideology that has no regard for individuality or personal freedom. Therefore, I oppose it or any of its trappings. Greg W P.S. I can't wait to meet you.

True, I think a lot of jobs were created but didn't necessarily put a lot of cash out on the streets.

Give it up, dude. You made some irresponsible posts, deal with it. Don't like it, hit the bricks; like Timmy said. Later, Gator.

AlpineK - I made this same assertion to my financial planner last week and was corrected. He informed me that the economy really didn't start taking off until the 50's. The 40's weren't an incredibly boon economically. It was news to me, but thought you might like to know; whatever it's worth.

j_b, You are scary. So, in your plan, "society" is going to decide what vehicle I need? How will "society" do that? Set up a board of auditors that I will have to go before to prove my need? Who will appoint these people? Who will pay them? Is there an appeal process? This sounds very ominous and scary - very communistic, no thank you. I was quoting your statement on the fuel-efficiency levels that manufacturers adopted. If theirs were higher than the government, what does that tell you? CO2 levels have nothing to do with the automakers' level of self-regulation, they are just an indicator of consumer use. Explain to me how profiling limits your freedom please. Profiling is simply an investigative technique used to narrow the field of suspects. There may be side-affects of profiling that inhibit personal freedoms and I oppose those. As far as this whole dictionary thing, drop it. You are using this as a attempt to make me look, or feel, stupid and it won't work. You somehow (because of your beliefs, I am sure) think you are superior to me. Whatever.

Being anti-60's-Astronaut is gay.

Leave me alone, I'm just in a mood to argue today. Massive miniaturization efforts were undertaken by NASA in an effort to reduce weight and bulk of equipment necessary for space travel. This is the main reason you and your giant, bulbous head were rejected from the astronaut program.

So, Iain, you're saying that JFK's push for NASA to reach the moon was just a boondoggle to draw public attention away from the fact that he was banging Marilyn Monroe and a string of other hotties? Diabolical!!! Even my conspiracy theory-infested mind didn't think of that one. Good sleuthing!!

Without the space program, you wouldn't have velcro, microchips, cell phones, satellite television, and a whole host of other things that I can't think of right now.

I'm sending Buzz Aldrin over to kick your ass, Iain. Bwahahaha!!!

A-S-S W-A-D. Sorry to confuse, DFA.

You think McCarthy viewed sportclimbing as un-American, too?
