It's spelled "Secks." Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

We as a society owe them nothing. They owe us. We as a society have to pay for their incarceration when they re-offend. Each one that we rehabilitate in prison can cost us $25,000 less a year in the future. I'm gonna call that $ well spent on removing malignant tissue from society. Life in prison on the installment plan. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

I'm the Walrus. Coo Coo Kachoo. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Really? Didnt realize that. I just figured it was proof she let someone put thier penis in her. What are you talking about?: Cock Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

"Give them something"??? How's about a kick in the ass and tell them that further fuckups will be dealt with more seriously?? We as a society owe them nothing. They owe us. Cheap meals, and no TV are fine with me. HOWEVER, shutting down prison libraries and educational programs strikes me as very counterproductive. When did I mention TV, libraries, or education programs? Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Cute? Yes. Sexy? Eh...dunno. Never knocked anyone up. But it is proof positive that she likes the cock. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Dude, unless you're privvy to the entire police report, all eyewitness testimony, and all empirical evidence, you're not in a position to conclude this. Let the courts sort this out. Stay dispassionate about it. We have a system for handling these things. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

I agree. Seconded. I love the fact that the dogs' meals cost more. Police dogs outrank inmates on the evolutionary scale. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

IIRC, the only restricting factors on the # of ppl in a 182 are GTOW, W/B, and available seat belts... But the pilot cramming so many pax into a 182 is necessarily shorting himself on fuel, and is gambling with safety. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

How did Le Chiffre lose so much in the first place? He sold his stock (cash in hand), anticipating Airbus' stock to tank. When it did not, how is he out millions, having just liquidated his assets? Just buy the stock back, unless it spiked in price? Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

The opening credits were a departure from the past, and therefore comparing them to the other movies is apples-to-oranges. I did like them, as they seemed a nod to the 1960s roots of the CR storyline. Although the Audioslave opening song is awesome. And...I will never buy real estate in Venice. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

007 was shat upon by Vesper. I can understand his going from arrogant to open to cold. However, to understand is not necessarily to excuse. The only thing that irked me was that they trashed three Astin-Martin DB5s for the wreck scene. That and the nutsack scene. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

...As I read this, my cat Neko is beating up my girlfriend's Schnoodle puppy.

If you want to get uber-technical, all munitions are chem-based (black powder, C4, etc...) Sounds like splitting hairs for sound bites' sake. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

I was really smashed at the DZ, and we had a stopwatch for that scene. IIRC, it was 4:32. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

"Marzipan" is an intrinsically funny word. "Marzipan." Heh. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

A fact lost on many on this board, and twisted to non-sequitor topics, such as drugs, guns, and half-assed whiny diatribes on narcissism and selfishness clothed in the deceitful guise of "personal freedom." Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

So...the alternative is anarchy, no Police, no nothing? No thanks. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

I agree it is bad that there are unaccounted for GIs from the Vietnam Conflict, but the consensus is that none are living. Engaging Vietnam in trade serves to improve relations. That could lead to greater openness in the endeavor to find more remains to account for those missing. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

There is a basic rule of business that has served me very, very well in other aspects of my life: Never Chase Sunk Costs. This rule is simple, obvious, and almost never heeded. When you buy a car and the muffler falls off, maybe you replace it. When the transmission falls out, maybe you replace it. When the gaskets blow, you junk the car. Yes - you have sunk some serious money into the lemon, but that money is gone. Spending more will not bring it back. That is the basic rule that people ignore: Make your decisions based upon where you are now and where your goal is. What you have already spent bears no - NO - relevance to the equation. We have lost three thousand troops and killed a hundred times that many Iraqis in this ill-considered and incompetently executed adventure in small-minded delusions. Spending another 10,000 will not make it any better. We failed. We need to set a new goal and get to it as efficiently as possible. All of the self-serving, bellicose rhetoric about "honoring the fallen" and "not making their sacrifice in vain" is chasing a sunk cost that has already been spent. One of the several characteristics this conflict shares with Viet Nam is the time lag between when a fact becomes patently obvious and when our leadership acknowledges it. It seems that nobody in Iraq has any doubt that they are in a sectarian civil war and are not marching towards becoming a stable democracy. So we need to convene a study group to consider this. If any one of us, however we feel about Iraq, were able to go back to 1965 and tell McNamara and LBJ what to do in Viet Nam, would anybody urge them to stay the course and commit more troops? That would be communist Viet Nam, one of our largest trading partners in Asia, where the president made some very complimentary remarks the other week. Although it was nice to see Dubya finally get over there. Never Chase Sunk Costs. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

This is exactly the kind of answer I was looking for. Thank you. Let's say, hypothetically, the President was obviously an enemy of the Constitution for reasons that had nothing to do with the military. Do you wait for an impeachment process to be completed before denouncing the President's authority? It depends on how you feel about being court-martialed in the interim. Military folk give up certain constitutioal rights while in uniform. Taking the oath also implies certain responsibilities. Unless a servicemember fashions themselves the reincarnation of Billy Mitchell, it's not worth a trip to Leavenworth to be an emotional fluffer for the anti-establishment lobby.

Just toke your bong. The amateur activist schtick is rather tedious. Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.
