  1. "Being green" isn't cheap. Have you ever wondered why not a single oil company has built a refinery in the US in the past 20 years? Ever wonder why the refineries that are here are closing, instead of being refurbed with the newest 'environmentally friendly' equipment? Did you know that we are actually importing gasoline now? That's one single example, if pressed I'm sure I could find more. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  2. Rhino, why do you feel that Bush is in denial about Iraq? Do you understand the consequences of requiring strict environmentally 'friendly' policies? There are two sides to every coin. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  3. A bad swoop can hurt your bride? Does she know this? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  4. I'd let my grandmother pack for me if I could figure out how to get her to do it. Packing sucks. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  5. A) Get a qualified canopy coach at your DZ to take you under his wing. B) Attend a canopy control course. C) Buy and read Brian Germain's new book, The Canopy and Its Pilot. D) Jump, a lot. Practice makes perfect. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  6. Things started drifting right about here. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  7. From a legal standpoint, yes. The accused should enjoy all rights afforded to the innocent until it is proven in a court of law that they are guilty. However, see my example above. If you knew that the police had just pulled out a mountain of evidence from your babysitter's house that would likely get her convicted on some sort of child pornography charges, would you continue to employ that babysitter? To do otherwise is human. To do otherwise is normal. We may not be able to go back and change the way we treated someone, but a reasonable person would understand. Don't you think? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  8. Would you invite someone over to babysit your children if you knew that he was accused, but not yet convicted of child pornography? What if, although not yet convicted, this person had substantial evidence against him indicating his guilt? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  9. You're either lying, naive, or . . . - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  10. So, would you let your kids play with this guy? Nieces, nephews? Unsupervised? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  11. I couldn't disagree with that statement more. She's the single most important person in John Kerry's life - do you REALLY think that the 1st Lady doesn't influence the President? Hell, she's probably MORE powerful, and has MORE influence than the VP. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  12. It's not the memo that's going to sway people, it's the blatent dishonesty, it's trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the American public, it's the disrespect of the process . . . The memo means nothing. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  13. Convenient that you left this part out. If you're going to bother quoting the story then quote the whole story - isn't that why you gave the original poster a hard time? Anyhow - back to the clothing issue - let us not forget that clothing is the most basic form of shelter. I think it's important. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends.

  14. Hmm... Where is Kallend? He's usually all over these Florida elections issues. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  15. Not adequately authenticated? At least two of CBS's document examiners told them that they were likely forgeries. They had them authenticated (or not) and ran with the story anyway. Hell, I'm still waiting for CBS to release the name of their 'unimpeachable' source. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  16. It's not all in the name of COMFORT, it's all in the name of the all mighty dollar. Don't be either naive or dishonest by suggesting that these people are out there working because they want us to be comfortable. Thank you, Mr. PC Police. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  17. It seems in this forum, more so than in others, we link to news sites that require registration. I found this over at http://www.awbansunset.com/ and thought I'd pass it on. I think it could be useful, interesting at least. http://www.bugmenot.com/ - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  18. Does the name Bernie Goldberg ring a bell? - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  19. Maybe, if he's lucky! - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  20. As I recall, France, Russia, and Germany, had dubious financial dealings with Iraq. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  21. 9/11/2001 It might, but I don't think we have to worry about a foreign super-power right now. The super powers (who are they these days, anyhow?) didn't get that way by making poor decisions. We have to worry (as does just about everyone else on the planet, it seems) about the new war, terrorism. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  22. The DIRECT link may be bogus, however it is dishonest of you to deny any link between Al Queda, terrorism against the US and its allies, and Iraq. It is documented that Iraq, at a minimum, provided safe harbor to known Al Queda operatives. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  23. You may not believe it to be true, but that doesn't make it so. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  24. That guy is so over the top I just can't watch the show, at all. I think he does a disservice to the real stars of that show. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
  25. This is hardly limited to ABC - here's a little story from their competition, NBC. http://www.nbc10.com/politics/3724911/detail.html Check out the Info on Ban link while you're there. The poll is interesting, too. - Jim "Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.
