  1. Oh come on, it's not like they were trying for a seat on the human rights council while sponsoring/committing torture, terrorism, repression, etc. Oops. My bad. Yeah they were. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  2. From a scientific standpoint, I'm curious what, if anything, they'll find that is statistically relevant. From a real world application view, I'm scared to death. To make it work, they'd need to monitor every person every second of every day, and they'd have to know what was going on every second to compare baseline to variation and variation to activity. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  4. Depends on your education and attachment to a given area, I'd imagine. Ask Mr NGutenberg which he has a bigger reaction to. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  5. They tell us it's for keeping all the scary people out. Immediately followed by "I'm from the government, I'm here to help." witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  6. That's ok John. If we believe everything we hear out of Tehran, then in twenty years we may look back and thank them because they saved the USofA. How'd I come up with that?

  7. You've got the right idea, but an analogy failure. If the US invaded Mexico and seized half the country, and built a wall bisecting Mexico City, and you compared them, it'd work. This is a completely different brand of stupidity. So while I agree with you, your analogy just hurts your case. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  8. They make themselves sound more asinine and irrelevant with every article and announcement. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  9. Could be a since he's male, a duck, and green, he could be a mallard. Lots of folks think of mallards as "green ducks". I'd say those are silly folks, but regardless there are lots of them. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

  12. I'd rather the BATFE close it's doors and be absorbed into the Treasury and FBI. And taking the DEA with it might not be a bad idea. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  13. It's always got to be so fucking EXTREME with you guys.... no one said they hate anyone, no said they were asking for a free ride. A little more compromise.... perhaps that is all that is being asked for. If you've read his posts, you realize that really does (sadly) sum up his position. I'd love for him to answer questions and give his thoughts. Since he refuses, we can only take what he gives us. So, when can we expect your open letter of support for the aviation tax? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  14. Government agency uses taxpayer funds - isn't this a bit like "dog bites man"? Finishing the sentence helps. The point, dear professor, is that while it's bad for the government to let folks commit crimes and go unpunished, it's far worse to actually fund those crimes with taxpayer's money. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  15. This is probably a good example of why we need guns. Something about being able to rein in government when it becomes too oppressive and out of control. In the past the arms of the civilians could compete with the arms of the government ... this is no longer the case. Ask the Irish if you need tanks and jets to fight back against folks that have them. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  16. U.S. Government Used Taxpayer Funds to Buy, Sell Weapons During 'Fast and Furious,' Documents Show So what jackass thought this was a good idea? edit to add: Lawyers, Guns, and Money witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  17. Yep, crossing the border outside an approved location: bad. Signs saying so: good. Signs miles away from the border telling folks to stay away from that particular American soil due to danger of illegal activity: VERY BAD. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  18. Still waiting for your answers. Also, do you think Abbas should be considered the leader of Palestine? Do you think the Hamas "government" in Gaza wants him speaking for them? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  19. Yeah, we get it. You hate successful people and want them to pay for everything while you get a free ride. So tell us bridgedweller: what specifically would you change in the tax law? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  20. What's next? Different water fountains? Or maybe you want to put it back on the APA list of psychiatric illnesses? Hell, let's just round them all up and ship them to an island. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  21. I'm no professional lip reader, but it looks like that is what First Lady M. Obama said to the president at a ceremony for 9/11. Washington Times article YouTube video Do you think that's what she said? Any alternate wording come to mind? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  22. If you define "most successful" by most money given to beneficiaries, that might be true. If you include elements of responsible management, sustainable funding, and lack of pyramid scheme funding, then it is not the most successful. Let's be honest. Without hiking SS deductions from paychecks, there is no way the SS program stays afloat unless it takes money from other tax sources. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  23. Not entirely. She still needed to obtain a court order to get her illegally seized property back. Why? Because sometimes The Man does the wrong thing; and it's human nature to circle the wagons and not admit you're wrong. But thank God we live in a country where The Rule of Law means something in practice and not just in theory. The courts are the instrument of that practice. Messy, but it beats a sharp stick in the eye. All true. None of which changes the fact that the local VA appears to have gone to the local PD without doing the paperwork, the local PD made entry into a home without a warrant, the local PD confiscated private property without a warrant and without asking a lawyer, the apartment complex let the local PD in without a warrant, and best of all the local PD forced her to take them to court to regain her property. All of that points to good reason to hire someone like you or lawrocket. I'd guess the PD is going to get the proverbial stick in the eye in the form of a judgment or $ettlement. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
  24. Well, TARP added about $2,200 for everybody in the country, about 33% of which pay taxes, so I guess those of us who earn our living can start by all ponying up about $6.6k for Caesar. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*
