  1. He could pay it back with his upcoming appearance in Michael Moores next movie
  2. seems to be an approach, though 300ft from the entrance to the cemetary seems grossly excessive. That isn't even a city block
  3. Too soft, I say. I say strip of commission, dishonorable and throw some time there too, at a minimum. I second that, raise your right hand, take the money, take the training, then you don't want to fight "this war"? tough shit the guy should have never signed up.
  4. Too bad Clay didn't kill Zarqawi himself...he would have made a nice wall hanging
  5. While I'm sure that is a true statement, let's not forget that there are still very many illegal aliens from places like Ireland, Poland, Bulgaria, India etc., who are very well educated indeed, but cannot get visas on account of silly preference rules. Well John don't you understand that the mexicans should get the lions share of the visas issued each year? this is also the reason we should let them all come into the US illegally without any interference.
  6. Lately I havent been working many hours in consulting, so I have been busy working on my house
  7. Aint nobody gonna get their hands on the "icecream"
  8. it was a freaking typo relax, it was meant to read Pb, as in a huge fucking chunk of it flying through you at around 3000f/ps. What can I say I type like shit Cu can be very dangerous @17k f/ps or more
  9. Ask for a Bj instead, either way it works out well

  11. BTW have you ever seen a cop fail to announce himself, in a dark area when the homeowner is looking for an intruder? Good thing he lived to be reprimanded
  12. the military guy can face severe punishment through USMJ and I suggest you get on that immediately. I am sure you have his name and therefore can contact his CO or the CID. I don't want a piece of shit like that in our military and if I was still active duty I would have his ass courtmartialed ASAP, as we don't need thieves and liars serving our country instead of serving time.
  13. Well, conservatoves do but it's located next their your wallet. Oh that is why I am a wealthy man huh? you know what? next time you generalize about peoples finances keep it to yourself ok? BTW some of the wealthiest Americans are liberal an run corporations etc. Oh I forgot liberals hate money
  14. ACLU = protections for poor people against governmental bullying, arguments against moral issues that deprive or imprison people. Yeah the same way they defended those poor downtrodden pedophiles that belonged to NAMBLA
  15. No, it's deliberate right wing propaganda. If you tell the big lie often enough, people will believe it (paraphrased from Josef Goebbels). Ansar al-Islam Salman Pak Sure, and Boston's existence proves that the US sponsored the 1974 IRA terrorist attack in Birmingham. That could be closer to the truth than you think
  16. I saw him at DQ getting a banana cream pie blizzard!
  17. I still have to visit ME, ID, AL, MI, NY, VT, RI, NH, ND, MT, ID, and NM,

  19. Actually that was not the first act of terrorism by an islamic fundamentalist movement, please do some more reading and you will be astonished at what has been going on now for many many years without repercussion. No wonder Terrorists have become emboldened
  20. A cyclist passes sprinklers at Washington Park in Denver, April 14, 2006. The rising cost of copper... Metal Thieves Likely to Turn to Aluminum Tuesday, June 6, 2006 3:28 AM EDT The Associated Press By ROBERT WELLER DENVER (AP) — Thieves have been stealing copper for years as prices have risen, mostly an expensive nuisance. Now they are targeting aluminum products, with experts saying safety is at risk as everything from light poles to highway guard rails are disappearing. "Aluminum prices are at an 18-year high," said Chuck Carr, vice president of member services for the Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries. Thieves in April made off with $4,000 worth of aluminum bleachers — enough seating for 100 people — from P.C. Campana Park in Lorain, Ohio. Highway guardrails and light rails have been stolen for years on the East Coast but "now it's everywhere. It's worldwide," said Matt Haslett, spokesman for Metro Metals Northwest of Portland, Ore. Officers are even staging metals theft stings. In Westminster, a Denver suburb, officers took aluminum park benches to a salvage company, where two employees allegedly paid $33.65 for 58 pounds of the metal. The Benson and Benson Metals Co., pleaded guilty to theft by receiving and will pay $500 to a food bank. Strong demand from Asia, especially China, is driving the metals market, said Robin Adams of CRU Strategies in Seattle. He contends the mining industry was caught by surprise by demand and can't keep up with supplies of basic metals. The trend is likely to continue for a couple of years, Adams said. Other metals would be stolen, too, but it isn't practical. "Aluminum and copper are the ones that stand out. They are on highways," Adams said. In the past year, copper water spouts have been taken off churches. Coils of communication wires. Power cables for trolleys. Raw copper from the Navy at Pearl Harbor. Authorities attribute at least five deaths to thieves being electrocuted. Railroads have sent out warnings about thefts of spikes, communication equipment and track. In Idaho, some of the thefts have been linked to methamphetamine users. In San Joaquin County, Calif., nearly $300,000 in metals thefts have been reported this year alone. "We are going to make periodic checks of our junk and recycling dealers to make sure they are keeping records of who they buy the copper or aluminum from," sheriff's spokesman Les Garcia said. Carr's institute and its members are taking their own steps to control the thefts. He said many dealers work with police to set up stings. "A lot of our people are having to hire security guards because people are breaking in," he said. Haslett's company, meanwhile, is videotaping all its purchases. "We stall sellers of stolen material and call police. If it is moderately suspicious we will ask the seller to provide some documentation," he said.
  21. Conn. City Leaders OK Riverfront Evictions By STEPHEN SINGER, Associated Press Writer 2 hours ago NEW LONDON, Conn. - City officials voted to evict two residents whose refusal to give up their riverfront houses helped lead to the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling that governments may seize property for private development projects. The City Council voted 5-2 in favor of eviction Monday. An attorney for the residents said they are considering continuing to fight. "You are a disgrace to the city, the state and the nation," one of the residents, Michael Cristofaro, told council members who voted to evict. The city has been trying for a decade to redevelop the once-vibrant neighborhood at the point where the Thames River joins the sea. Seven homeowners challenged the city's plans to seize the property and build a hotel, convention center and upscale condominiums, saying eminent domain can't be used to make way for private development. But the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 last year to uphold the city's right to take the homes, saying municipalities have broad power to do so in favor of private development to generate tax revenue. Since then, five of the homeowners have settled with the city and agreed to leave. Two holdouts, Cristofaro and Susette Kelo, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, still refuse to sell. The vote came five days after a settlement deadline. One resident agreed to a settlement just minutes before Monday's meeting began, The Day of New London reported. The city attorney plans go to court to seek removal of the remaining two families and obtain the properties in the Fort Trumbull neighborhood, a process that could take three months. Scott Bullock, a lawyer for the residents, said they will consider asking the state to pull funding for the development. City councilman Robert Pero, who supported the effort to remove the families, noted that the issue has been through state agencies and three courts. "This was a plan that was well thought out," he said. "The development of this peninsula needs to move forward." But Charles Frink, one of the two council members who voted against the plan, said supporters should admit their mistake. "I can't accept a possible reduction in taxes by having neighbors thrown out of their property," he said. "This is morally abhorrent to me. I refuse to profit from my neighbor's pain." Quote I wonder why the city let that neighborhood run down, and then the strangest thing happened, several local politicians started buying up the houses before this plan was announced. I am sure it is all just a coincidence
  22. I'd be willing to bet that if we hadn't messed with them in the first place then they wouldn't be terrorizing us. Kinda like the old "ow, it hurts when I do this". Well, don't do that. So if I go back to around 1979 or earlier is your reason still valid?
