  1. This is straight up populism. Unfortunately, it will be quite popular if it is allowed to happen. I smell the work of a certain chief strategist here. The Reuters story is not well attributed. Meaning it is from a source who is leaking. I wonder if it is really a leak, or a deliberate trial balloon? Reuters is reporting on how it plans to deal with the Trump administration the same way it deals with other unfriendly governments in the world. Sad. http://www.reuters.com/article/rpb-adlertrump-idUSKBN15F276 Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  2. Could you explain their reasoning to me then? I can't understand it at all. Maybe you meant something else? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  3. The sad thing is that he is not really conning anyone at all. What he is doing is appealing to the worst in people, and they are responding. He is bringing out the fear and using it. YOU ARE ALL FUCKING LOSING IT!!!! Let's see about that.... you are the one screaming and all CAPS, laughing like a maniac. And you think I am losing it?

  4. I sort of agree. Ground shipping is available after all. I think (but don't know) that they just don't want people, including riggers in the field, opening them up and doing the change. And then sealing the gasket up again. You still have to do that to change the cutter or control head though. They probably have seen too many units messed up in the field by now. But I do wish they would not blame it on battery shipping rules. It's pretty obvious there are ways around that. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms.

  6. I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of this. They'll never find the bodies of those hookers I bet. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  7. Are you arguing for American immigration regulations to be enforced evenly against all nations? I wonder how Canadians would react if the US decided to be less selective and demanded that all visitors go through the full rigours of a consular visa interview before being considered for a US visa--including Canadian visitors. Now if we are merely talking about supporting the Muslim community then it is fairly simple. Focus on Quebec City where your support is desperately needed. Not on Washington DC where your support is unwelcome. No I am not arguing that. I am asking how Americans feel. That is all. I am on the road this week in Mississippi right now. Otherwise I would have joined my wife last night when she attended a service at a local Mosque to show support to the Muslim community after the recent act of Christian terrorism in Quebec city.

  8. I'm on the road today. I just talked to the wife. She went to Mosque in Winnipeg this evening to show support. It was very full. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  9. Yes, that is the consensus. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  10. Actually, he set you up nicely and you obliged him. He said one thing that really means another. Just as Trump's anti- Muslim law says one thing but really means something else. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  11. I'm going to start a movement to ban Christians from entering Canada. On the grounds that they might commit acts of terror. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  12. Airtec has always bragged that the 4 year and 8 year service included upgrading to brand new specs. Is this now an alternative fact, or will older units be upgraded as promised? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  13. So far we have "pickup truck owner have small penises" to go with "Prius and Tesla owners are douches". Got it. Kindergarten is out now kids, time for all of you to go for a nap. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  14. Good question. Ask a tea partyer. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  15. But you glazed over the bit where the countries were named by the Obama administration and placed into legislation by them... Quite convenient. I suppose you condemn this order by trump, but supported Obama illegally bombing the said countries? Amidst all this hysteria, we have billions of dollars of weapons going to kill people and that is ok... but inconvenienced travellers is abhorrent. Makes sense. Well now, there you go again. One more time blaming Obama for what Trump has done. You talk a nice game, But the words still add up to alternate facts.

  16. Comrade, the new players don't get to blame the old players. Trump owns this and he owns the list. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  17. Will fortress USA be weaker or stronger than open and engaged USA? It will be great again, one day when Trump is long gone. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  18. Standard US Interstate weight configuration is 80,000 lbs on 5 axles. There are a lot of states that allow more in different setups, but that is the national standard. You could argue that they don't pay enough tax for the damage they cause, but that is pointless. The goods that you consume have to get to you somehow. And you will pay for the roads like everyone else one way or another. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  19. I'm curious. Rushmc is the biggest Trump apologist regular on here. Hey Marc, what is your spin on this? The reason I'm asking is that if Trump loses even you, he pretty much has lost the nation. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  20. Beaches have a dangerous hazard close by. Usually the ocean. They often have a tree line running parallel to the first hazard. Be patient, life is long. You must prove your skills before someone will be willing to risk losing their permission to land on the beach for you. Aren't you the guy that posted only a few months ago about accuracy problems? Accuracy comes with practice, accuracy is absolutely needed for beach jumps. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  21. I'd rather wait to see if that happens. If it does the stock will tank. That would be the time to buy. Right after a big setback when the price is low. Buy low, sell high. I bought my BP stock a few weeks after the disaster in the Gulf. It was very heavily discounted at the time. It bottomed around $25 or so. I got it for $27. Before the accident it was over $100 Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  22. yes, yes, no, and yes I am a not a rich man. I make conservative investment decisions. I like my oil stocks because I'm addicted to the dividends. But I am becoming somewhat wary that they are getting past their prime. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  23. I can read. But I get a little impatient and annoyed when it gets down to name calling. The douche business started with this: I think. I'm not going to discuss douchyness anymore though. I will talk about subsidies and thier merits and drawbacks. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  24. Bump Well, that's kind of a stretch now isn't it? There must be at least 10 or so solar powered aircraft in the world! I've seen DZ operators who have their own tanks, and bypass the airport operator completely. Other pilots talk smack about the "meat bombs" all the time. Where were we? Oh yea, you think Tesla owners are douches who don't respect other people and their tax burden. Have you had one of these terrible rich men talk down to you? Because I suspect that you have not and this is just something you are saying to express your resentment. Or was it airdvr who started with the name calling? Either way, driving a Tesla does not make a man a douche, or a woman either. Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
  25. The world is in an uproar, or at least a lot of the world outside America is. I keep seeing FB posts denouncing it, but few from American friends, and even some in support. So I am wondering, how do Americans feel about it? Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.
