Where are the "not yet" and "I'm working on it" buttons?

Nah, Halliburton and KBR already have 18 billion dollars worth of no-bid contracts... And it's all 'legit'. Why would they need to sneak around like that when they have an ace up their sleeve? The money went somewhere, thats for sure... Where? Nobody is especially interested in finding out... I mean, its only 12 billion dollars.

Billvon, I like your approach. I think that the human mind is an unbroken circle. we can't have lose ends. When we have questions that we don't have answers for, we feel the need to fill in the blanks in the best way we know how. We are terribly curious creatures and we can't leave unanswered questions, so we fill the cracks in with whatever answer we have available for such situations. For some it is "beats me" and for others it is "god did it". If we are trained from birth to fill the cracks in our psychological construct with "god did it" instead of "beats me" then i think it only prolongs the inevitable. Think of how many wars have been fought over god. Think of how many people were burned at the stake or beheaded for God or Allah... If every person in the world only accepted that which was provable by science and thought rationally about every situation, the world would probably have another billion people in it. Instead, we will continue to kill each other in the name of a supposedly benevolent creator that knows only love and compassion... What a way to emulate a peace loving, compassionate creator, huh?

Ouch... Sorry, I love my AK-47. Next candidate? LOL.. really though, democrats won't touch this with a 10 ft pole, at least till they can push something through unopposed. Many believe that gore lost a few states over this issue in 2000 so it has been virtually nonexistent as a campaign issue thus far. I don't want a black guy. I don't want a woman. I want somebody that the NASCAR and WWF crowd might actually be fooled into voting for. Not because I am racist or because I am a misogynist pig, but because I am a realist and pragmatic. Democrats have their 'perfect storm' they have been waiting for since 1994, and they are going to screw it up by not putting up a rich, old, veteran, white, male with a squeaky clean record, etc, etc that says all the right things and has a smooth answer for every question. If only Wes Clark had an IQ of 140 instead of 180 somebody might understand what he is saying half the time. If only Gore had slightly bigger balls and drove a pickup. Hillary is the wicked witch of the east but she does have slick willy (a.k.a. the Cigar Driver) as her closest advisor.... Obama is getting a lot of play because 'technically' he is black and might actually have a shot. Stop the press! John Edwards is a Trial Lawyer. Nuff said. Wes Clark crapped out. Al Gore pussed out. Uh, PLEASE give me somebody I can vote for!!! Oh well, the whole thing is rigged anyway...

buy a pair of sweat pants. Cut them off till they are like sweat shorts. Sew/tape/glue a few washcloths to the inner thighs. Works like a champ. My 1st jump i got f**ked up big time. Straps werent tight, they were in the wrong spot on deployment, and I got huge bruises. It was an old beat up tandem rig with no padding left in the thighs. I asked around and the up jumpers laughed and told me to stop being such a 'girly-man' so I basically had to invent this method. It works great... It like sitting in your grandpas Cadillac. Making sure your leg straps are tight and they are in the right spot will make 99% of the difference too. That way you aren't trying to artificially relocate skin from down mid thigh 3 inches closer to the family jewels at 100mph... Take this with a grain of salt, as you can see from my jump numbers, I have VAST experience in this area.

sorry for the wuffo question (NEVER PACKED A RIG), but can you tell me how it should look? I assume the cable should run through the two silver rings? I just want to learn.

I have seen the curve of the earth. On both sides. Sorry. It's also round on the Korean side.

I would be more worried about the 12 BILLION DOLLARS that vanished in the 3 months that Paul Bremer was in charge of the Coalition Provisional Authority. I am not sure, but I think you could probably pick up a few black market russian nukes for that kind of dough... 'cause a whole mess of missing AK47s isn't really a big deal. Everybody over there already has an AK... FYI.

Bull crap.. There was no threat. The US has never preemptively attacked another country without being provoked until now. It sets a dangerous precedent. In the time we have been tied up chasing our tails in Iraq and feeding our sons and daughters into the meat grinder, North Korea has developed and tested Nuclear Weapons. Iran has moved to the forefront and are hard at work at going nu-clu-lar. They Lied. Just accept it. Do some research on the "project for a new american century" or PNAC. This war was in the works long before Bush took office. 9/11 was a blessing to the bushies.

Hell yeah. I guess the brain is out unless the circus is in town. The liver is pretty much shot it this point. The kidneys probably look like the oil filter in my car, and the lungs probably have tumors like softballs... All the fingers have been broken a couple times over. No sense replacing bad knees with even 'badder' knees... LOL But I got a heart like a V12 Ferrari engine. And plenty of skin that hasn't been ground off in motorcycle wrecks. And a few good vertebrae left. Three brown eyes, as long as 20/60 vision is ok with you and one of the eyes smells really bad... heh heh But if they can put any other parts on Ebay, then I am all for it... Part me out... LOL If I crash a Mercedes, and it is sitting in the junkyard, does that mean your mechanic can just go stealing parts off of it "because I don't need them any more"? Hell no! It took a lot of pancakes to grow those parts, and if anybody wants them, then they should offset the cost of growing them to the exquisite specimens that they are today...

I just wanted to say THANK YOU all... This has provided me with a great deal of amusement on an otherwise dreary Monday morning...

Nope. you are right on the money... LOL And what is wrong with bigotry again? If your dumbass president and the republican party can try to force Christianity into every aspect of government, then they are unapologetic bigots against my beliefs. I am a firm believer that turnabout is fair play. Or is it only bigotry when the bigot isn't a bible thumper?

Yeah, that's always the catch... Believe me, I hope I am wrong. If I am, then I get to burn in a lake of fire for all eternity. After a few years in Phoenix, it isn't really as scary as it used to be... If you are all wrong then just picture what a monumental waste of time this has been, and all the guilt and worry and looking over your shoulder your whole lives has all been for nothing. You were worried about the boogeyman under your bed. Well all, its been stimulating but I gotta go to work now. I will leave you with this thought.. I guess the standard view of death is even changing, and some doctors now believe that being brought back hours or even days after death is possible because they are unlocking the mysteries of the role of oxygen in cell death. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18368186 cheers

I am Howard Dean, see? AAAAAAAHHHHHHHAAHHHH!!!!

I assume that you have some sort of references or documentation these all of these people believed that they had 'face-time' with god, in the George Bushian sorta way... Right? Besides, there is a big difference between 500 or 1000 years ago and today. Like, we have drugs and therapy that can fix that now! I could understand back then because when there was an eclipse, they thought that they had made god angry, and had to sacrifice a virgin (noooooo)... Just as it is today, everything that can't be proven by science is attributed to 'god' or some supernatural phenomenon. Before doctors believed in germs, they attributed fatalities to gods will, not septic shock or unsanitary operating conditions. It is funny to watch the dwindling numbers of people that cling to faith, like tadpoles in a drying mud puddle. It's sad too, because even in the face of cold hard scientific fact they still cling to their silly beliefs as if it were a flotation device in the sea of truth.

If I were in an asylum, and all I ever did all day long was draw clouds on the wall in my own feces, and I never showed any propensity for violence or anger, does it make me any less crazy? Yeah, just like those whackos... Just because you don't start illegal wars, or murder millions of people doesn't mean you aren't bat-shit crazy. It just means you aren't dangerous. I am a firm believer in science. And I also believe that people that 'talk to god' instead of just forming a prayer and sending it off with no return receipt are delusional. It is the ultimate existentialism to believe that god talks to you. The same sort of egocentric world view that makes people pick names for themselves such as 'dropdgeorgeous'.

OK DropD, heres the plan... You post some long running diatribe trying to 'share' the 'thought' that 'god put in your heart'... Then, right before you get fragged, I will come in, drop a few bombs and draw their fire... This diversion will give you just enough time to slip out the side door unnoticed... It's ok yall... Go ahead. Let me have it with both barrels. Give me the whole 9 yards. Meanwhile, lets try to keep in mind that generally speaking, people that think that god 'talk to them' are very likely on the edge of a real mental disorder. Lets try to think of a list of people real quick that beleive that have a 1 to 1 relationship with god... Hitler, George Bush, Charles Manson, hmmm, DropDGeorgeous, uhhh lets see here, well you get the idea... It's dangerous thinking. There was a lady that hacked all of her children up with a machete here because she believes that 'god put the idea in her heart'. Same thing with Susan Smith drowning her 5 children. For those of you that somehow gleaned the fact that I have nothing but contempt for religion and god, then congrats. Quit your job and apply down at the local pokey as a Police Detective, because your powers of observation and deduction are unmatched. Last I checked, understanding and patience for the slowest in the herd is a uniquely Christian trait. And since I am not a Christian, I will continue to light these bible thumpers up with a 50 caliber machine gun every chance I get, and publicly humiliate them, in order to prevent them from spreading the disease of Christianity to otherwise reasonable people. For those of you that think that Athiesm is a 'belief', I only ask you the 'prove' any tiny little piece of supporting evidence that god exists. One tiny shred of proof. At any rate, I already succeeded... I got more replies off that one post then I ever hoped for.. LOL.. The best thing to do now is ignore me. Remember kids, don't feed the bears.

I decided to take another bite: Soooo... Ya got into med school huh? It just goes to show you that even a broken watch is right twice a day... Why don't you roll up a big fattie and sit back and ponder how that 'thought' really 'got put in your heart'? Then go back on the Haldol, or Thorazine or whatever is the standard script for overly preachy, naive little girls that have allowed themselves to be so programmed by the church to actually believe that any of us really care to 'know a little more about god'. If we wanted to know a little more about god, we would be tuned into the 700 Club or Oral Roberts (snicker), not surfing dropzone.com... Mmmmmkay? Or maybe you are just big on yourself 'dropdgorgeous'?

Uhhh, I have ADD. Does God do like "Cliff Notes" or bullet points or anything? Oh yeah, I know god!! Duh! He's the joker that Atheists like me pray to "just in case" (heh heh) right before we jump out of a perfectly good airplane.... I want to tell you everything there is to know about atheism: 1. There is no God. 2. When we die, we don't 'float up to the clouds', listen to Kenny G and Yanni all day and get fed grapes by a gang of Swedish lesbians (as much as it pains me to say so). We turn black and stinky, fill up with gas from our rotting organs, and maggots eat our brains. I don't understand how people still believe in God in this modern age, especially when Science disproves another facet of the Bible practically every single day. Look at the facts and decide for yourself. When I see people so preachy, it reminds me of the villagers in the remote amazon tribe that thinks the guy with the videocamera is trying to steal their soul... Come on.. For real.. Do you really believe the crap you spout? I am brave enough to face a world where there is no God. Are you? After all, if there were no god, it sure would explain a lot wouldn't it? AIDS, Darfur, the Tsunami a few years back that killed 280,000 people, Adolf Hitler, the Flu of 1919 that killed 10,000,000 people, etc, etc, etc.... If there is a God, he should be fired for sleeping on the job.

Yeah, after a night of hard drinking, mr. fishie might just hit the spot... Especially all dressed up in a martini glass...

Oh My god... I have been in Texas too long... I think I am infected.

I dont know... The rabid liberal in me says that he is a retard that threatens to destabilize the region with inflammatory talk, and that peace is the answer, and that only by coming to a common understanding then we can reach a mutually beneficial and lasting respect. Yadda yadda lets all sit and have a big group hug... Then again, if we used 10 or 15 of the largest neutron bombs we have, detonated at a fairly high altitude, then we wouldn't really *break anything* structural, just eradicate all of those pesky little dirt-kissing terrorists huddled around those sites... After all, they killed more people on 9/11 than at pearl harbor and we nuked the Japanese and didn't even blink. And, by all accounts, it was very very effective in demonstrating just how irritated we were at the whole affair. Why have we now become so afraid to break out the big guns? Sure, bush would be reviled forever as a war mongering murderer, but then again, I think that ship has already sailed... So why not get some mileage out of his 'crazy ass bastard from texas' legacy and get some dirty work done? Seems reasonable to me... Whats the point of being the most powerful nation on earth if a guy with 5 pounds of semtex a bicycle and a cell phone can make CNN Late Edition? They have demonstrated that they want to play 'hardball'... Women, Children, Babies, innocents, heads chopped off, etc, etc, and so on and so forth -- Soo? "I say we pull out and nuke the site from orbit" - From the Movie 'Alien' lets play hardball... It's a war people, lets start acting like it, get our game faces on and start killing some folks. I am birdshit, and I approved this message

Probably a windows XP system right? If it cant find ntldr the this is beyond what can be fixed by a non techie. Take it to geek squad or have a good computer guy in your area takea look. I am in dallas, dont know how that relates.. cheers

Whoa hold on.. 18,000? Like measured in Feet? I thought 14k agl was the max?
