  1. Would this be connected to Florida being a 'no fault' state? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  2. It is easier to walk thru life with the blinders on and not question anything. Leaving the comfort zone of ignorance is too much for many people and may shake the foundations of ignorance they were raised on. Also - short term, selective memory also helps fuel their misguided angst. Despite our best efforts to piss off the entire world, a large portion of the countries out there offered and organized aid for the Gulf Coast after the string of deadly hurricanes. Most of that aid sat unused as pride got in the way of using what was available. Sure, excuses can be made - but in the long run we choose to borrow money from other places that most likely cannot afford the loss of those funds...esp since our war funds have drained us of so much already. The only thing worse than ignorance is nationalism fueled by a misguided sense of pride. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  3. Enjoy taking pleasure in the misfortune of others to further an ignorant opinion on another country? Because nothing like this ever happens anywhere else? When somebody makes a soap box out of this sort of tragedy I tune out and can't hear the point they are trying to make. Kick a man while he is down, huh? One set of teens (always a stable mind) represents an entire culture? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  4. However, it is a different culture. This may sound cliche, but it is very hard to make it out of those neighborhoods. Not because the children there are sub-par, but many things are missing to help them get to the next step, too many things missing for their parents, etc....and too many strong negative incluences that are often too much for any young mind to overcome. I didn't understand this until I spent a couple summers living in those neighborhoods and spending time in their lives. This post would be far too long to explain everything I experienced those summers....but I saw enough to know that most people giving an opinion in this thread have no idea what they are talking about. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  5. That area of Chicago, for the most part, is mostly minorites. The graduation rate is terrible and the mortality rate of those that leave is even worse. It is an issue that has been a topic for many years. Is it right or wrong? Eh, I'm not going down that road as too many uneducated opinions will stem from that. However, something needed to be done - I'm curious to see if this will have a positive outcome. I hope it does. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  6. Why? You have money they want. How is that different than anyone else in this world? Just stay away from them - considered working for them a while back. They will tell you they are not the financial amway....but....the way its setup reminds me of Boiler Room. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  7. Those cameras are all over Chicago now. Our Mayor loves to empower the Dept Of Revenue to find new ways to get massive increase of funds. Anyhow - a trip to traffic school informed me that anything put on a license plate in this state is illegal. In fact they can write you a ticket if you don't remove the previous yearly tag before putting on another one (mostly to stop people from putting them all over the plate). Those plate holders are considered illegal in IL since they can block some of the plate, and the grey/smoke plastic covers also used to disrupt laser guns/cameras are illegal. Been that way for about 6 years now. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  8. Saw this in a movie once....Robocop...yup, thats the one. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  9. Too many people were getting off of legit DUIs due to refusal and spending the night in jail. In IL it works against you to refuse. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  10. Guess I just haven't been paying attention to this news story. So, from what I was told at work today: -a pandemic called the spanish flu happened years ago that was a version of this -it goes bird to bird, and bird to human, but not human to human -chance that it could mutuate and go human to human -the mutation on each jump could make it hard to come up with a way to stop it. -could be a pandemic if that happens. cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria SO....what I can tell is there isn't anything you can do other than wash your hands and stay away from sick/dead birds. Am I missing anything? Lucky me I have almost no ability to fight off colds! Looks like a few days off of work in my future _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  11. How is their golf game doing? Seems they got a head start on it this year. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  12. Don't think I've left the office much since that. Too many deadlines. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  13. I believe that search bar is classified as spyware - try using adaware and search and destroy to see if they remove it. Hijack this is also a great tool for removal of this sort of thing. Be more careful where you get your pr0n from _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  14. Went out with a girl in college that did this....detroyed part of her stomach - ate away at tissue and caused bleeding. Required surgery to fix and had digestion issues afterwards. Yet another one of the reason I prefer to manage pain without pills if at all possible. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  15. Finally found the police reports from that night. 8 Chicago area celebration related arrests. Much less than any previous celebration we have had in this city over the last 15 years. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  16. Or the air base that hosts the WFFC in Rantoul, IL? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  17. Rumors of another research place called Area 52 has often been the rumored spot for the real testing. http://www.dreamlandresort.com/info/ttr.html http://www.dreamlandresort.com/info/tonopah.htm http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mjpowell/Nellis/Part1/Fig4.htm There has also been a rumor of a base in Utah that is being used to test another form of space entry or even low level space deployment. The idea is that the vehicle travels on an arc into the lower reaches of space and then lands at either Area 51 or 52. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  18. Or they did do screening before hand and realized the potential she had to draw viewers. Also, there is a good chance she is playing it up to the camera. Bad press is still good press and people will be roped in to watch it. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

  19. Mark, Good luck man. I've heard both good and bad about working with EA. Hopefully you will find the good....but I'll tell you this after been in IT for far too long....most of these jobs are what you make of them. Hope you get more than 5 days a year to ride the bike! _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  20. Not sure they will care, but in my travels I will not jump at any of those. The one I quoted avove used to be a favorite place of mine to go. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  21. Luckily I may have some connections at Travelocity and I will show them the thread, lawsuit info and BBB information. From there it's their decision. (If I can reach this person) _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  22. After all these years - why the swap in dates? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  23. Is Robin the guy that lost the toggle on landing because he didn't have his hand in the toggle loop? _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  24. It's a South Side thing, you wouldn't understand. I'm going to enjoy this all winter long. This will help keep me warm until spring training begins. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....
  25. Notice no riots or any of that stupid junk? Just fans finally enjoying what should have been our so many times before. Uhh...so apparently you didn't hear about the couple of cars being set on fire? No, it definitely wasn't as stupid of a scene as when the Bulls won, I'll give you that, but people were still being stupid. Watched WGN news this morning and they made no mention of it. Figure the Tribune company would be the first to report something like that. I was living on the west side one summer when the Bulls won. I spent the night in the basement with my baseball bat - the riot was that bad. One or two people being stupid? Ok, I can handle that over a riot or what happened on Division street in 2003. Last night? I was out standing on the street with the rest of my neighborhood (south side) and taking it all in. Driving home from the bar in Oak Park to my area was a lot of fun as well - Harlem was lined with cheering fans, no one doing anything stupid, no one being a drunken idiot. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....
