Today is November 11th. Veteran's Day in America. Also marked as Remembrance Day/Armistice Day in most parts of the British Commonwealth. Tomorrow would have been Private William Henry Young's 60th Birthday - if he were still alive. My buddy Bill died in November 1969 - shot through his gut...

Thanks for the early morning laughs y'all :rofl: I'm having a good hearty laugh - wife is just standing there shaking her head :1orglaugh cheers,

Don't put words in my mouth... cheers,

Do you believe in Universal Housing? Surely every man, woman and ***** deserves a home - no more homelessness? Do you believe in Universal Clothing? Surely every man, woman and ***** deserves clothes on their backs? Do you believe in Universal Food Distribution and Consumption? Surely every...

Re: But what is a militia? LMAO! So said **********. What's the matter - you run out of defensible arguments? Or do you just like to spout off your 'opinions' without "stuff" to back it up with? Well yeah - no one ever said this was the Presidential-fucking-debate. :1orglaugh Why can't y'all...

Actually, we are a (Constitutional) "Republic". Nowhere among our principles is it ever mentioned that "majority rules". Ever. (Take our system of "Electoral college" for example). Please re-read our founding documents and educate yourself about our principles before passing judgment on us...

I appreciate this post for a couple of reasons: 1. You are 26 years old. 2. You live/stay/reside in/around Chicago. Pretty astute observations there, my young friend :) cheers,, R.

Re: But what is a militia? Of course not! (despite how "funky" the 'definition' might be in RELATION TO THE ARGUMENT IN POINT!) In McRocket's World= Definitions mean 'nothing'. They are interchangeable after all... (unless it agree's with his PoV): "Personal" interpretations is what you...

Re: But what is a militia? The same tired old argument again : As usual, the fundamental LACK OF KNOWLEDGE as regards American history in the foundation of the argument: One just needs to read the "Federalist Papers" to gain a simple insight... (empasis mine -R.) Finally, even the so called...

Actually, a lot of **** still do. Hundreds of thousands actually. This is exactly why I talk about "Flyover Country" - Folks on the coasts assume how the rest of America "ought to be" and dispense with their version of it. You're waging a useless/fruitless battle (par for the course, I'd say)...

You're reading it wrong. I might have pointed it out earlier in this thread - but I don't mind repeating it: Let us take the amendment in whole again, shall we? 1. The Amendment doesn't say "the right of the militia to keep and bear arms". It says "right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms"...

Question: Did you read/understand my previous post? cheers,

... OR you could vote for Dr. Ron Paul.... cheers,

Oh goodness! :eek: Sending good thoughts out to the victims and to EMS/FRT responding to that scene... "Ut ceteri vivant" in solemn thought, R.

"Today is the Tomorrow you worried about Yesterday". cheers,

And all I meant was that your comment of "his choice" (especially given his age, you think he'd know if it was "the most over rated song ever?" Not to mention the fact that such an opinion is subjective anyway?) was rather 'childish' in light of the over all picture. That's all. :) cheers,

Suit yourselves. I just thought it was rather nice that a young ***** could play music - period. Not "good music". Not "excellent music". But the simple fact that he could handle an instrument with a good degree of proficiency given his age. Forgive me for lowering your standards by posting...

A must read... cheers,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUXh-X1iveU Gives new meaning to the phrase "triumph of the will over adversity". My :hatsoff: to Ben - he taught me something valuable today. May we all learn something from him. cheers,

Obviously, you were composing orchestras and conducting symphonies when you were that young - hence your higher standards... He's only a *** for Pete's sake! cheers,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuSihWz7LlQ Pretty damn cool. Reminds me of my *** and his sax cheers,

That's NOT true. Atheism lacks every one of the characteristics of religion. At most, atheism doesn’t explicitly exclude most of them, but the same can be said for almost anything. Thus, it’s not possible to call atheism a religion. It can be part of a religion, but it can’t be a religion by...

What do I think of Dannis Kucinich? Just another liberal, pro big government, anti-constitution Statist. He's no different from Hillary Obama or Rudy McRomney. cheers,

I've been a Sabres fan for as long as I can remember. I recently had to attended a conference in Buffalo - and my travel dates were 'coincidentally' arranged to allow me to catch the Sabres in action on home ice ;) Anyone who has ever been in HSBC arena on game night ('specially when the Leafs...

Thank You. cheers,

Read the full story Read more LawDog cheers, R.

I remember this story from a long time ago (back before most members on this board were born), back when I was a rookie paramedic stationed at a podunk hospital (meaning: sticksville. "The boonies". Middle of nowhere. Armpit of the nation. You get the picture, yeah?). It was a fairly large...

You can only "forget" something that you have/had previously learned. The American people never did "learn" the lesson of Vietnam. cheers,

I agree... Absolute, unadulterated bullshit. Not only do you overlook the 'significant' "Revolt of 1857", but also don't give an explanation for the fact that British families were "able to live peacefully" through the sub-continent thanks to ruthless laws that protected their presence...

It's been rainin' cats, dogs and elephants here. Windy as hell too!

You completely misunderstand economics. You have just highlighted in your post one of the most common fallacies assumed by most people - the so called "Make Work not Money" fallacy. i.e. Labor is limited/Labor is mis-utilized and this is a bad thing. You also touched upon the "money can't keep...

Just to clarrfiy: I'm not claiming that what the Turks are now (want/wont) to do is legit. Merely stating that for the Turks to use this ****** as a "Gulf Of Tonkin" type incident ought not to be far fetched. cheers, PS: Do you think the Kurds have a right to agitate for a separate homeland...

Actually my point was somewhat multi-folded: * "Charity" is by definition "voluntary contribution". "Government programs" can never be "charity", simply because governments don't "own" anything - and thus can "contribute" nothing from their own pockets. Government money is levied via taxes -...

I wouldn't be surprised if this turns into a "Gulf of Tonkin" type thing a couple years from now. Hey, if we can do it why can't they... cheers,

I admit to not knowing much about China - but India? Damn! Look at that country 10 years ago and look at it now! That is some serious growth in just 10 years and their growth curve is only going up and up ... cheers,

Huh? Say what? Did you just say: government program like SCHIP = charity? :confused: cheers,

(I probably won't be alive to see it, but) I predict that aisan markets - particularly India and China will eclipse the United States by 2020. The dollar is in far worse shape than most people imagine. Our economy is good - but this "cycle" is just one of the half-dozen we've already had...

Yep! Exactly! Women don't suffer from the same maladies obviously! cheers,

:1orglaugh :hatsoff: cheers,

PS: For the detractors in the article::::: * That is true. But it also denies the existence of millions of folks who have access to dynamic IPs as part of regular internet access - such as most users of dial up internet access. AOL internet anyone? Which essentially translates to a bunch of...

Oh my god! The free market at work! Run away people! Run away! This is a bad thing! Shoo!

(said with a straight face) "I am still a virgin". cheers,

This thread is fast becoming "irrelevant" thanks to all the silly comments based on subjective notions claiming to be objective fact.... Is Boxing "easier" than Baseball? Is F1 racing "easier" than Tae-Kwon-Do? Is Soccer "easier" than (American) Football? Is Poker "easier" than Blackjack? Is...

Ahh, there is none. :) There is no "patting yourself on the back" involved - you just do the "right thing", no "other" thoughts whatsoever. You're a treasure, Lady. Stay true to that thought. The world could sure use more of your manners :hatsoff: cheers,

That's the fact. Some states regulate adult content/pornography at 18, some at 21. cheers,

Honestly, sometimes I think it's because we are dumber/stupider than the fairer sex... cheers,

Old Army joke: Private Smith: "Well, see here Private Jones, the thing is..." Lt. Henderson: "Quiet back there in the ranks!" Private Jones: (whispers)"What's his problem?" Private Smith: (whispers)"Oh he's just jealous because he can't walk and talk at the same time..." *Ba-dump* *tish*...

Stardard treatment for anyone with MRSA over here is a 3-14 week course of IV Vancomycin - and because IV vanco irritates your veins, the treatment is typically admiinstered through the use of a Cental/PICC line (which comes with it's own set of risks and problems). Vancomycin cannot be...

When I was a student in college, I remember finding a wallet at the cafeteria. It had over a thousand dollars in it. I had a lot of debt back then - was already working two jobs to put me through college while my wife worked to pay the bills at home. The thousand dollars could have really...

Actually, there was just as much crap music in the 60s and 70s. Just as much crap movies. Everyone thinks the "good old days" were good but honestly that's not true. Garbage has always existed in the arts.... cheers,
