  1. The departure of illegal aliens, whether by deportation or by their own choice will not happen so suddenly. It will take a long time, and the economic impact will be spread out because of that. It should start happening, in my opinion. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  2. You can keep it in SC by declaring that only libs/cons will be eligible to satisfy your needs. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  3. Quite right! I would call my insurance company to make sure of your obligations to report the accident to the police. If he doesn't pay up fast, you might be under some requirement to report it to the police within a certain number of days, or else your insurance company might not support your claim - going after the party at fault. You don't want to go past that limit. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  5. Please post the picture, and congratulations. Too bad that I already know I'm not in it. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  6. Then illegal immigrants wouldn't be able to work, and they would have to leave, isn't that right? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  7. Since you say it is a short cab instead of the larger crew cab, are the seat backs in the 2nd row more vertical than a normal car (about 21 deg from vertical is normal)? Those vertical seat backs really suck for comfort, and can be difficult to impossible to put car seats in. If kids can't sleep, then the parents can't be happy. Perhaps you'll never have kids to deal with. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  8. If the new suit is faster, then you are flying in a different body position compared to the old suit. If the old suit required a really fast body position to get the speed you needed to get the right fall rate, then it makes sense that you feel more in control. I would think that thick cotton will flap less than nylon. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  9. The proposed bill allowed temporary, renewable visas that can be had extremely easily. The supporters try to say it isn't amnesty because of the requirements for citizenship, but the temp visas can be renewed indefinitely, so it is amnesty.

  10. The best environment to create an "underclass" is to keep people in a legal gray zone - no rights, constant fear, etc. After the do-nothing populists had their day this is what it will continue to be. Congrats! Cheers, T I think they should have no rights and be in constant fear, because they are illegal and should go back.

  11. Perhaps it would be equally for funny for Mrs. Edwards to be called a cunt, on live TV, to see her reaction.

  12. Not all at once, for sure, but that would certainly be a part of it. However, if it is extremely difficult for illegals to get work, they would have an incentive to leave on their own, wouldn't they? Even if due to lack of work they became too poor to get back on their own, they could turn themselves in for deportation. If illegals that are here get visas that can be renewed indefinitely, then shouldn't we give everyone that wants into the US the same visa?

  13. That sounds like you are in favor of having a permanent underclass of immigrants that can be exploited. All of this in the supposed interest of preventing an increase in inflation. Is that the real message that liberals/progressives want to advocate? America is better served by innovation that increases productivity, not by a permanent underclass working cheaply to keep the price of produce low. However, this cheap farm labor prevents market incentives from causing innovation, such as the development and manufacturing of farm machinery that replace manual labor - whole new industries have traditionally started in just this way. That has been the model for advances in many areas, why are we to accept that it be supressed by the cheap, illegal workers?

  14. A long time ago, many countries did not have effective limitations on immigration, not just the US. The US is not the only country that now has limitations on immigration. I am in favor of allowing a lot more legal immigration, but only after we gain control of our borders and enforce the existing employment laws.

  15. Good advice. People are used to the obvious limiting factors like power and brakes, but the limitations of some other systems isn't so obvious. The need to have a lot more cooling of the transmission fluid and power steering fluid isn't nearly as well known. It doesn't take much hauling up a hill to heat up the tranny fluid to where it will start shooting out the filler pipe like a geyser. Serious tranny coolers are needed. The power steering fluid also gets really hot with all the extra work done to keep the truck and trailer between the lines.

  16. The dems want an issue to use for the next election, they can say that Repubs are anti-hispanic, blah, blah.

  17. I can't morally justify telling all the people that didn't break immigration laws that they won't get the same opportunity for a visa the same as those that have broken the law will get. I do think that there should be a LOT more legal immigration allowed. There should be no problem with that once illegal immigration is controlled.

  18. The Ridgeline doesn't have much hauling/towing capacity though, does it? I'm looking to upsize my travel trailer next year and want a truck with more umph than my current 2001 Tundra (4.7 L). Blues, Dave If the 4.7 liter isn't enough for you, then indeed you would also find the Ridgeline's 3.7 liter lacking. They aren't going after that market for really heavy towing.

  19. How so? I am more than a bit biased, having been a part of the design. It was styled in Torrance, CA, engineered in Ohio, and is built near Toronto. It has some really innovative features, such as the huge (8.5 cu.ft.), lockable, 'bed trunk', so big you can put a HUGE cooler in it, or just fill it with ice (and drain it when done). A really comfortable (std 21 degree seat back angle) rear seat that can fit golf clubs under it (even if you don't golf, that is a lot of space), and is split/folding for large items/bikes (you can put a full size bike across in the 2nd row after folding the seat bottom up). A really innovative center console with great storage features. Dual action tailgate (it can either swing down or out sideways) that is stronger (stands up to heavy guys standing/bouncing on it without deformation) than the competition's. You can fit quads and motorcycles with the tailgate down. You can fit 4x8 sheets of drywall/plywood between the wheel wells. The bed has an integrated, extremely tough liner (developed by GM, but they made it an expensive option that few chose to buy). In comparison handling tests with a full load in the bed, the competition handles like a wet noodle, the Ridgeline still feels solid. Other vehicles have a higher towing capacity, but the Ridgeline is very solid in handling its 5000 lb limit. It is a unibody chassis instead of body on frame style, but it is actually MUCH more rigid in torsion than the traditional frame type trucks. The all wheel drive system was first developed for the Acura MDX (also used by the Honda Pilot), it works in front wheel drive mode (efficient) when driving easy and cruising, but will anticipate the need to send torque to the back wheels if you accelerate hard - it doesn't just wait for wheel slip to occur before shifting torque to the other wheels, and it respond very quickly. Obviously it isn't a full size bed, they aren't trying to compete for that market. I could go on and on. http://automobiles.honda.com/models/model_overview.asp?ModelName=Ridgeline People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  20. The Honda Ridgeline is much better. I realize the styling puts some people off, but it is truly innovative.

  21. It is such bullshit when the supporters try to claim it isn't amnesty because of the things that must be done to gain citizenship. All that is meaningless when the illegal aliens can just keep renewing the temp visa, they don't ever have to seek citizenship to stay and work in the US. Ann Coulter had a good suggestion during her interview on O'Reilly. She said that illegal aliens should be allowed to sue their employers for not paying minimum wage. That would be a good incentive to not hire illegals, or at least to increase their pay.

  22. For some strange reason, the Mr. and Mrs. Edwards don't want to be interviewed on O'Reilly to talk about hate speech in the political dialogue and such. It would seem that Chris Matthews and Larry King are less threatening. They might actually get a tough question regarding their previous actions and statements, and that just doesn't fit into their plan.

  24. Quite right! Her interview on O'Reilly was very interesting. Lefties are told that Rush and Coulter are bigots, liars, blah, blah, and they gather it in and spew it back out. To think it is the right that are said to be the 'mind numbed robots'. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  25. My 3rd jump I landed in the dirt parking lot, with power lines on 2 sides, building on another side. I was jumping a round (T-10), and scared the shit out of my instructor, Refrigerator Bob Sprague at Wild Horse West. While at Kapowsin, we were stupid enough (including Jessie - the DZO) to go up when there was a small hole over the DZ, which promptly closed on the way up. We then compounded our stupidity by jumping anyway. The base of the clouds was 1500 feet or so, the bottom was about 300 feet. None of us had any idea where we should go. I flew through it in deep brakes, emerging with nothing but very tall trees in front of me. A quick turn of my head identified a small fenced backyard with a couple horses, so I put myself down safely. There have been numerous times when a long spot in Ohio requires a landing in a small patch of open ground, and even an off landing at Eloy can mean you have to deal with brush and cactus, so that you wish your canopy wasn't so fast (didn't require so much runway). Those are the times when you're happy to have a big, docile canopy that can be more easily sunk into a small area instead of a zippy wing that requires a long runway. You can't plan on having the right canopy for those times unless you're always jumping it.
