  1. I didn't see it that way at all. I believe his beliefs has as much ownership of this Season as anyone elses festivities. As far as I am concerned, he did this from his heart; not as a way to stamp some sort of claim. It's his way of celebrating. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!! _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  2. Christmas has been cancelled and was made illegal for debauchery throughout the years. Today's Christmas is an overlay of various customs in which some have been celebrated before the birth of Christ. He was not the original reason behind this period. So your "perversion" is actually the other way around. Except I don't think that the Pagans were too upset. Merry Christmas. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln

    SoCal Flooding

    I live south of Perris off the 215 about the same latitude as Elsinore. . .It never stopped raining here. Thank goodness this is a newer neighborhood with all the new drainage systems. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  5. My disagreement is more with the fact that the way to apply control is different, not exclusive, between the two types. The drivers will have to learn that difference going back and forth. I can make my wheels do the same relative to the engine regardles what type of tranny I am using. I have to come about it at a different way. But, I kind of agree with you also. Many people don't know how to use an automatic. And I have also seen people abuse manuals also. Downshifting without bringing the RPM's up to "meet" it. Downshifing and using the clutch to control engine braking. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  6. Yes I can. Saves the synchros. That was one of the old ways of shifting back in the olden days that is now very popular with the street racers today. But I usually don't race through corners anymore. All the gears are permanently meshed. You aren't changing gears with the shifter, you are moving the collars back and forth between gear sets. It a matter of syching up the input shafts, lay shafts and output shafts to allow a seamless shift, whether up or down. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  7. Why is that? You can upshift and downshift with automatics also. Neutral is always a next indent with the Drive selection and usually doesn't require to toggle anything to bump it there. As far as Standards, even today's transmissions have some cheats that doesn't give you complete control. All you have to do is push in the clutch and put the stick into gear. No more worrying about RPM's and wheel speeds before downshifting. Do you know how to downshift without using your clutch? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  8. Um. . .what forms were you using to file three years ago? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  9. I hope you don't confuse experience and knowledge as fear I hope you won't confuse lack of knowledge of the subject as hole to fill up with internet conspiracy sites. I hope you don't mistake this rambling you are doing in this thread as a champion for freedom, Ben Franklin. Most of all I hope you won't sell out those serving in the military ,for the profits of the elite Funny you should say that. Just how many military personnel have a net worth of over a million? You would be surprised. Some of us military types know for a fact that just by investing the same as the elite (some of us are childrens and grandchildrens of the elite by the way) tend to help our bottom line. Don't confuse us as simpleton bumpkins that jump at an order. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  10. those feeble minded you described are real enough for anyone who happened to be victims to legitimate explosives if he was able to get it from someone else. There's nothing feeble about someone willing to try to kill people. Don't confuse intelligence with ability. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  11. You are welcome. Umm. . .why midgets? Why not the barker for the Yak Woman? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  12. I think you are confusing lack of actions on the terrorist side as no attempts vs. unsuccessful attempts. There have been many arrests of attempted bombings in the U. S. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  13. Don't run a red light with a BAC of .08. You didn't break any law. Got it. Just don't go around and produce any explosives with what was previously legitimately owned chemicals and you will continue to be a "free man". _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  14. Well, shit dude, I only had three. And it all pertained to sigint/masint eavesdropping. What's the holdup on O'bama's Executive Order? It's been almost a year. ON the other note. Who have you known that was detained without due process for terrorist-like actions? And, what manner of Outlaw are you? Don't tell me you got arrested for something legitimate and trying to pull this subject to validate something ridiculous. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  15. So. . . How many Rights? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  16. Yes! Just because the average size is 14, doesn't make the average attractive. If I can remember, I never chased after "average". I'm with the poster. That is gross. The truth is most people can't get away from wearing certain garments. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  17. is it cruel that someone with a lisp cannot pronounce their disability correctly? _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  18. It's extremely unrealistic. The point was to drive the fact they care more for themselves than the harm they are contributing to. I agree here. It's the only way to decrease demand. Everything else is about the flow of supply. MJ? Pretty vague. Not much public info that supported illegalization to today's acceptance, but there are a lot of popular conspiracy theories. Other drugs? Just like anythinge else. the users became "other peoples' problems". True. Will never happen. Just as long as they know that they are responsible, even more responsible for those victims than are the laws that were put in place. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  19. Well. . .a perfect model for medical MJ. It won't work with other drugs unless it is globally legalized. As it is, there is abuse to our MJ laws and is the bigger reason why LA county, for one, is decreasing the amount of shops. But there is a demand here caused by users that are not prescription holders. The cartels grow illegally here and also traffic from across the border to meet it. these users are definitely not doing the MJ patients a good service. legalizing it here won't help Mexico's crime and will cause higher Cartel involvement in this state as the barrier will be put within the continental U.S. It is essentially increasing the 150 mile porous barrier of SoCal/Mexico borders to an extrememly porous barrier the lenght of the perimeter of the state of CA . _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  20. Exactly. that was what I was poking fun at. Laws may assist in increasing the violence, but the fact is, people just not using the stuff in the first place would cease the need to have those laws. From reading of many of the posts here, some would rather exercise their right to do what they want with their body "as long as it doesn't affect others". They are partaking in a past-time that causes lives and discontent to supply it for them. But they would rather exercise their rights or self-indulge rather than do the responsible thing. Total douchbaggery in my mind. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  21. Nope Over here, the belief is it's the drug laws, not the recreational users, that are causing demand. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  22. Hell yeah . . . Congradulations!! Love grows stronger over the years. Enjoy the rollercoaster. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  23. I put her through two deployments and a war. She is still here. She's a good Wife; I'm a good a husband. There's no question
  24. Yup. Been unfaithful. Against a girlfriend or two. But, I don't really call that cheating unless your are engaged or the next step. . .Marriage. Looking back, calling it "cheating" on a girlfriend is rather over-dramatic compared to being committed to someone by a proposal and marriage. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
  25. I don't know. . . I get a feeling that most standard drivers here love their synchros. _____________________________ "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you can never know if they are genuine" - Abraham Lincoln
