Having traveled a lot I got Verizon. They do good. Expect to pay a lot of extra money though. All the extra features you have now will cost with Verizon. Price check what you want before you commit, and then throw in about an extra $25 a line for the extra taxes and fees. If you do a lot of traveling, go with Verizon. Their costumer service is great. If you don't and T-mobile meets your needs, stick with them. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

Iran's grooming guidelines: No more mullets
jgoose71 replied to lost_n_confuzd's topic in Speakers Corner
Impossible, I saw it on youtube. Not all Arabs are Muslims, and not all Muslims are Arabs. The same goes for the people of Iran. However I can't help but have dismay over how the fundamentalists are taking over countries little by little. Speaking on a macro level, revolutions tend to occur in countries where governments are oppressive, or corrupt, or both. Many countries that in the past, say, 50 years have had either Communist or Muslim fundamentalist revolutions and/or coups d'etat were countries that had puppet governments covertly installed and/or propped by the American CIA because they were anti-Communist, when anti-Communism was, quite myopically, the only thing US foreign policy gave two shits about. This occurred all over Latin America and Asia, and to a lesser degree in Africa. Those governments' leaders took billions in American aid (one of the top 5 or so reasons Americans never developed a national health care system after WW2 like the rest of the developed world did), stole most of it, looted their own countries' treasuries as well (think: Imelda Marcos's shoes), kept their citizens in poverty, and repressed them with US-trained secret police to keep them compliant. This happened all over the world: Nicaragua. Panama. Guatemala. Argentina. Chile. South Vietnam. Indonesia. The Philippines. And, among others, Iran. In 1953, the CIA sponsored the coup that overthrew the existing government in Iran and replaced it with the Shah. He was a thief and a tyrant, but he was a bulwark against Communism, so the US propped him up. His secret police, the Savak, was notorious for its domestic brutality against Iranian citizens. The Islamic revolution in Iran of 1979 was the eventual result of that. If Americans want to direct their anger and disgust at the existence of the government Iran has had since 1979, a large portion of that anger and disgust should be directed at one of the principal root causes: the United States government. Not trying to split hairs over semantics, just trying to make a prediction. Iran, being mostly Shia will crack down on the population with the religious police and republican guard. Soon everyone not wearing traditional garb, head wrap, or not having a proper beard and mustache in accordance with Sharia law will be prosecuted because they are not loyal to their religion or their supreme leader. We've already seen it in other Muslim countries. I really don't think we are that far off from it. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Eric Holder Dismissing the charges against the black panthers that were threatening voters. Bush or anyone in his administration never ACTIVELY supported an extreme hate group like that. This is the real issue here. Hate groups, no matter who you are, need to disappear all together, not told to just "stay clear of the voting center for the next three years." They can still go to other voting centers.

So you can have a gun, but after you buy it until you get home you are breaking law. You are mandated to take gun safety courses, but your gun can't leave your house. Do they use plastic cap guns for the course? After you get the gun, if you want to stay proficient with it, you have to turn your house into a shooting range? I imagine that is illegal too. I kind of reminds me of some motorcycle rules I heard of a town having once. Basically you had to keep both hands on the handlebars at all times and had to use hand signals whenever you made a turn. In another words, if you weren't their kind of people, just keep going through. We are learning a lot about the Chicago way "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

Iran's grooming guidelines: No more mullets
jgoose71 replied to lost_n_confuzd's topic in Speakers Corner
Dude, they wear their man-dresses with no underwear. Somethings no matter how hard you try and how much you drink, are just so disturbing that you can't get them out of your head. Have you ever seen 2 Arab men on guard duty with AK-47's slung over their shoulders holding hands and kissing? But there is no homosexuality in Iran Shariah law has strict grooming standards, which is what Iran is moving to as it cracks down on it's people, but these laws will only be enforced on the political enemies of the Supreme Leader.

Only if they are 12 year old illegals in an Arizona sweat shop. Union workers produce way less.

Mexicans wearing Mexican flag in Mexico during 4th of July
jgoose71 replied to jgoose71's topic in Speakers Corner
Hang on a minute - if any Mexicans wore their flag in school on the 4th, and if their principal was an American working illegally in Mexico, would he have sent them home? Is that the question? Even though the 4th was a Sunday, yes, that is pretty much it.... "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

Mexicans wearing Mexican flag in Mexico during 4th of July
jgoose71 replied to jgoose71's topic in Speakers Corner
I wonder if any Mexicans got in trouble over the 4th. Do you think any Americans jumped the fence to get a job in Mexico? Do you think those guys were principals of Mexican schools? And do you think they offered as fucked up a ruling as the principal in the US school? What do our liberal friends think?

California and Illinois Are In The Most Financial Trouble
jgoose71 replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
Just like Bush was held hostage by a Democratic congress for the last two years of his presidency, Arnold has had to deal with a financially irresponsible government his whole term. Anybody remember his message to the state congress a while back? Here is a reminder. I suggest you re-read the message. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/27/schwarzenegger-sends-lawm_n_336319.html Lucky continually seems to forget exactly how government works. Congress writes the bills, the president or governor signs them. If a president or governor can veto line items, it doesn't help the process to much, it's still crap in, crap out. A bill or budget still has to be of quality going in. Term limits. Nough said. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

Not supprised to see kin sales suck so bad. I had a windows based phone and it blew goat penis. Add in how badly windows computers perform (my XP based computer got corrupted rather quickly) why in the hell would anyone want to willingly buy any computer with a microsoft based OS? The only reason the xbox took off was because HALO. People had a choice after that, pay $50 for xbox live, or buy a playstation. If you already have an xbox, the cheap way out is to purchase xbox live. This post was done on a droid phone.

Only if you find the mii more sexy than your wife. If you do, you may want to talk to someone about that. Preferably not your wife. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss." Life, the Universe, and Everything

I down loaded Flip4Mac and then installed it. You should have an Icon in your applications if done correctly. I only had to do it once and it worked like a charm.

If you are thinking that 600's are heavy compared to your Ninja 250, try looking at a couple of the 500's out there. The kawasaki EX 500 has full fairing, light and bigger than the 250. The twin piston configuration makes is sound OK also. Suzuki makes the GS 500. Similar but without the full fairing. If you got your hands on an old Honda Interceptor 500, you may be the envy of a few people. If you find a Yamaha TZ 350 two stroke, you may not want to park it on the street. Hide it in the garage.

What words can you NOT make a sexual inuendo out of?
jgoose71 replied to turtlespeed's topic in The Bonfire
I wass going to say - you won - but you used them BNOTH in the same sentance with Skymama and proved yourself wrong. Hint: do not use HerHotness next time. Callipygian= One with a nice buttocks sesquipedalian= One who uses big words I was thinking that making a sexual inuendo out of big words would suck the sexy out if it. I didn't take the Skymama factor into account. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

jgoose71 replied to turtlespeed's topic in The Bonfire
How about "SESQUIPEDALIAN"? Or even "CALLIPYGIAN"? Used in a sentance: "When he said Skymama was callipygian, he was being a sesquipedalian." "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

Bill, I think your numbers are for just California alone for Health care. http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2008-01-21-immigrant-healthcare_N.htm I think we can all agree that Illegal Immigrants are a part of the problem with the US Health care system. As far as Americans going over seas to get stuff done, here in the US, you get what you pay for. If you got money, you get the best. That is why Canadian Officials come here. If you don't got the money, you go over seas to some one who can perform the same procedure but isn't trying to make up the development costs for some of this stuff, or pay for illegals. When I got laser eye surgery in the 90's I went to Canada. After they adopted the latest technology that the US developed, they were able to offer it at half the cost. They didn't have to pay for development. I know that the US doesn't develop every medical break through, but for a while we were on the leading edge until lawyers and costs over runs started taking over the health care system. Again, where is this being fixed in the Health care reform bill? "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

OK, you asked for it...... Illegal Imagination: The average citizen is covering half of Mexico's use of the emergency room. Do you think this is a problem in the Netherlands? Malpractice insurance: I've seen some reports that up to $100,000 a year may go to Malpractice Insurance per doctor. A cost that gets sent to the patient. Unneeded procedures: I've already stated in previous threads that doctors treat lawyers first with a battery of mostly unneeded tests. Yet more time wasted, resources used and more costs sent to the patient. Life style: If I lived in Europe and only had a 30 work week to deal with, I would be a lot more healthy too. Despite all of this, Canadian officials still make there way to the US for health care, why is that? Lucky for us though, the new health care bill that was passed covers none of these issues. Medicare will now pay doctors less, yea!!!! Now they will really be able to for the malpractice insurance. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

Can you say a judge who is bought and paid for by BIG OIL.. and is HEAVILY invested in oil stocks made the decision.... MMMMKKKK Amazing who is doing all the bending over for OIL and other big corporations around here You think it could possibly be due to all the coastal employees out of work for 6 months? So quick to judge. Agreed, many fishermen and people who depend on tourism are out of jobs in the area, no need to compound it by putting the rest of the people out of work. A more realistic approach would me mandatory safety inspections by independent people. In the military when there is a mishap, the war doesn't stop. You find out what went wrong, fix it and move on. The trick is getting qualified inspectors on the oil rigs. Obama, if he even gets involved, is most likely to send out people with English degrees rather than engineering degrees. This is all of course because the Unicorn Tear power plant that Al Gore uses on his Gulfstreem Jet hasn't been approved for public use yet. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.
