  1. I thought the mission was already accomplished....
  2. The best part of this thread is where the pro gunners take actual data and twist it around to say that the number of murders is down by only one and that it doesn't mean anything. Then they turn around and claim that the increase in crime in texas is due to the influx of people from NO (who would be allowed to own a gun as well, don't think the rules are much different between Louisiana and Texas). Even though there is absolutely no research or data available to back up any part of that claim. Then all these "great" minds stand around and pat eachother on the back....what a joke, too funny.
  3. Living in the 5th largest city in North America I can tell you there is nothing crisp or fresh about the air here.....
  4. I am not surprised that the majority of posters don't see the difference.....I am surprised that some of the smarter minds on the forums don't recognize this.
  5. This statement is so incredibly flawed it isn't even funny.... Please define Law Abiding Citizens
  6. I see sarcasm is completely lost on you.... If you truly believe I seriously meant any of that, you have had too many hard openings and I would suggest jumping slider up only.....
  7. Since this is bonfire: AJAX has no skills...PSV is where its at....
  8. the behaviour of english hooligans is clearly indicative of the fact that Brittish christians are by definition violent and cannot be reasoned with. I say we drop a nuclear bomb and turn Great Brittan into a glass fucking parking lot. Fucking limey bastards clearly do not belong in western society with such a long and detailed history of violence.
  9. I am happy we caught them as well and have potentially thwarted an attack. I'll reserve my name calling until the case has gone to court and they have been found guilty.
  10. So Haliburton has Cheney. Turns out Gilead has Rumsfeld. What is Gilead you ask? Well, they happen to be the manufacturers of Tamiflu. If you don't know what Tamiflu is, well you probably have been living under a rock for a while. In the end, I am sure this is just all a coincidence.
  11. I would think Ann has more "followers" than this dude, therefore can probably effect more change and maybe she should be held to a higher standard? The funny thing is, I saw an interview with Ann on a Canadian channel in which she was just making baseless statements. When she got called on it she ended the interview and refused to reply to any further communications. She makes a lot of noise, some seem to equate that to intelligence. Would certainly explain their behaviour.
  12. Can you point out where exactly I said that this definitely happened? I specifically said that it would be next to impossible to prove that it did, or conversely that it didn't. I did state that the optics certainly werent favourable, nor that the administration did themselves any favours in that regard. Your arrogance coupled with constant one-sided contempt and willful misstatement of posts makes it next to impossible to have any meaningful conversation with you, never mind an actual discussion. I am certainly not the first to point this out. Lastly I'll say this: Just because something cannot be proven true or false does not take away the possibility of it happening. You seem to be taking the standpoint that since it is not proven true, it is not worth discussing, almost to the point of stating that it isn't even possible.
  13. Not disputing that at all. I was creating a parallel with a comment Nightingale posted earlier.
  14. I think any climber on Everest for the first or second time could be considered inexperienced, regardless of prior climbing history.
  15. So, should an inexperienced mount everest climber try and save another climber when already dealing with their own life threatening situation? (and being at that altitude alone qualifies as a life threatening situation)
  16. I am half tempted to say: Obviously you have no understanding of the social business network system or the concept of covering your ass, read up on it and get back to us....but that would be stopping pretty low. If you understood the concept, you would understand it would be next to impossible to prove. The phone call made wouldn't have to be made by the P or VP himself, but could be done by a close adviser, creating "plausible deniability". It wouldn't state anything more than how pleased the P or VP would be if a certain direction were taken. This sentence is more of a joke I would assume. How would you prove me wrong to begin with?
  17. Why would it have been cut, that would counter the purpose now wouldn't it?
  18. The stories of which I speak have nothing to do with the acquisition/contracting process. They have to do with social and business networks, favours for friends and people in powerful positions. Not quite sure which regulations that would be covered under, since that almost appears to be the only thing you understand....
  19. Based on the company I work for, it actually is. There is no law in the US that says the President or Vice-President can't make a phone call is there? The optics are really bad in this scenario. It would behoove the current administration to ensure there are no possibilities of such stories to get started. They have certainly not done themselves any favours.
  20. What is the truth in this matter? What evidence do you have that backs it up as truth?
  21. If you truly believe this then your arrogance is even more misplaced than I already think it is, so far I thought it was only attributable to SMS. So if it isn't in the FAR or DFARS you are convinced that the President of the US or the Vice-President of the US have no "persuading powers" in any of this? I can tell you that when the president of the company I work for calls me, he can have some pretty persuasive "arguments" even if it doesn't show up in our official policy binder....
  22. technically you are correct yes, though it is a bit of a semantics argument
  23. Margins in grocery stores typically average around 2%. That would be well below the 9% profit margin you don't understand. (note that the 2% isn't a profit margin, but a margin between COGS and selling price, meaning the profit margin is actually lower). Since you have been in business so long I figured you would have realized there are widely different profit margins, ranging from the low double digits to the high triple digits which can be found in the higher end jewellery stores.
  24. Can you explain to me how when the price of crude goes up, the price of the pump goes up the next day. But, when the price of crude goes down, it takes a couple of days for the price at the pump to go down?
