  1. Took this off another forum and didn't see it here. I've seen it this way as well as very much not this way so recognize that it does not cover every situation but still an interesting take. [U]JOE vs. Lee[/U] You have two families: "Joe Legal" and "Lee Illegal" . Both families have two parents, two children, and live in California . Joe Legal works in construction, has a Social Security Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted. Lee Illegal also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table". [U]Ready? Now pay attention....[/U] Joe Legal: $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for state and federal tax; Joe Legal now has $31,231.00. Lee Illegal: $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200.00 per year. Lee Illegal pays no taxes. Lee Illegal now has $31,200.00. Joe Legal pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $24,031.00. Lee Illegal has full medical and dental coverage through the state and local clinics and emergency hospitals at a cost of $0.00 per year. Lee Illegal still has $31,200.00. Joe Legal makes too much money and is not eligible for food stamps or welfare. Joe Legal pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $18,031.00. Lee Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for food stamps, WIC and welfare. Lee Illegal still has $31,200.00. Joe Legal pays rent of $1,200.00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Joe Legal now has 9,631 .00. Lee Illegal receives a $500.00 per month Federal Rent Subsidy. Lee Illegal pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Lee Illegal still has $ 31,200.00. Joe Legal pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for car insurance. Some of that is uninsured motorist insurance. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00. Lee Illegal says, "We don't need no stinkin' insurance!" and still has $31,200.00. Joe Legal has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc.. Lee Illegal has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, and what he sends out of the country every month.. Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work. Lee Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family. Joe Legal's and Lee Illegal's children both attend the same elementary school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches, while Lee Illegal's children get a government sponsored lunch. Lee Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children go home. Now, when they reach college age, Joe Legal's kids may not get into a State School and may not qualify for scholarships, grants or other tuition help, even though Joe has been paying for State Schools through his taxes, while Lee Illegal's kids "go to the head of the class" because they are a minority. Joe Legal and Lee Illegal both enjoy the same police and fire services, but Joe paid for them and Lee did not pay. Do you get it, now? If you vote for or support any politician that supports illegal aliens... You are part of the problem! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  2. I'm not sure what constitutes a part kit but I have built up my AR15 pistol from scratch. Closest thing to a kit was the trigger group. Is a kit a bag of parts you assemble or do you mean just buying the parts and making your own build? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  3. So for those who have attended what is the attendance like for this? How are the first and last days? I'll be back in the states by then and should have enough time to get current again. I'm thinking of going but I need to either be back by Monday or take my daughter with me as that Monday is her birthday. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  4. Mine consisted of sleeping, working, eating, and pissing every so often just to mix it up. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  5. I went with the Bonehead REvolve as my first helmet. I like the flexibility of being able to choose either an open helmet or full faced without carrying around more gear. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  6. It goes on because people figure odds on their side they'll either get away with it or be able to settle for a fraction of what they should pay. Tell them to settle instead of money you'll just accept their land as payment. You gain land and lose a crappy neighbor. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  7. I don't think it has to be on its side. It's more of not allowing the camera to be still or remain on a certain target for any length of time. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  8. Is that why there isn't much posted? Not much in the Calendar either. I'll be back mid-Feb and was trying to make plans after I get current again but didn't see much. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  9. It was the opposite. You start off not believing in God and somewhere along the way people get convinced of the idea. I was never convinced. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  10. My reserve is already going to need a repack and I still haven't even seen my gear in person yet. 3 months left. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  11. Watch out for the deals to get it free. They've had it for students and Moms now. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  12. I'm waiting for the day someone tries to get me with a swear jar. I'm going to take a bill out of it, say thank you, and walk away. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  13. I've had Prime for a while now. Always Free of course. However the Free one does not include the Video streaming. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  14. I've been told they can't talk about salary either. Just what I am told though. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  15. Cool Story Bro. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  16. Who cares? You're the one stuck on manufacturers. Get over it and you'll be much happier. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  17. Take your step back and look at what was asked. "For those of you who would buy a new car, what are the "extras" that you would consider as something you would "need"." You have no idea what I use my car for. I gave my response, you'll just have to deal with it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  18. I'd say no. The money I've saved by skipping these types of warranties, including electronics etc. have more than made up what I could have spent out of pocket if something happened. One time I decided to get one because of the car I bought. The original manufacturer warranty had just expired and the cost of replacing a $11 part was going to be about $2k which is what the extended warranty cost me. I thought at least I would get my money out of it. Turns out the company went bankrupt and I was SOL. So much for that. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  19. You still make no sense. Why are they "mutually exclusive"? By your name I'm going to assume your in the states. What state do you live in and what is the specific statute prohibiting roll cages? Your state must be special as I've never heard of such a thing. So hitting your head on everything else in the car i.e. windshield, steering wheel, pillars is ok but not if it's a bar that is part of a roll cage? I mean if your bouncing off the roll cage you must not have a seat belt on right? Now I'd have a 5 point harness when I do the cage just to not half ass it. Speak for yourself on the track being the only place you would ever see a roll cage. On my car I want an internal cage, when I get another truck I want an external cage. So since your so focused on track cars what about cruise control would hurt a track car? Why is it the last thing you would want? So you would want a sunroof before cruise control? What about a gps system? Dice hanging from the mirror? Really, cruise control is the last thing you would want? Out of curiosity what else could it be? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  20. That's gotta be nice on those long trips when your back gets all sweaty. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  21. Makes no sense. You can only use a Roll Cage on the track while you are wearing a helmet (driving a Roll Cage equiped car without a helmet is asking for it), but why would you want Cruise Control for the track? That makes no sense. What about a roll cage requires a track while wearing a helmet? What about Cruise Control requires a track? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  22. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roll_cage I have a 4-point roll bar right now but I want to add to it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
  23. Yowza! I went down in Turn 2 there. Camera died before I went down but I have video from several laps. Getting passed most of the time but still fun. Fastest guy out there when I went had his girlfriend on the back. Heard she wasn't too slow by herself either. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

  25. Couldn't this one be true? I've thought it would be cool to do similar. Either buy my own little plane or to build one. It would be fun to fly and when I wanted to jump my brother or someone else could fly it. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rap is to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.
