  1. Blah if I'm dead I'm dead. Don't really care what they do with my stuff once I'm gone. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  2. Was the speech I quoted/linked by Alexander Hamilton not enough? www.FourWheelerHB.com
  3. I read the article this morning and was a bit surprised. Why is this the first account I've read about an attempt to defend a ship utlizing lethal weapons against modern day pirates? www.FourWheelerHB.com
  4. Having debated in years past with kallend over gun control I can safely say he does not believe in gun bans, however, he does agree with the SC's interpretation of the 2nd which is to say the 2nd is not unlimited. In fact I'm not sure there is one American on this board that would agree with a total gun ban. Mainly what we have are members who simply want laws in place regardless of their effectiveness. The gun ban thing tends to be completely a European/Down Under perspective... on this board at least. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  5. I have no problem with buying that kind of stuff for the woman in my life at all. And I don't buy the wrong one....................on purpose. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  6. I'm not saying it is or isn't a terrorist act or enemy action. I'm just saying we don't know yet. If they don't get the Purple Heart because it doesn't fall with in the required criteria then I'm fine with that. Also if they do receive the award because either they do fall with in the criteria or Congress approves it then I am also fine with that. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  7. I think that remains to be determined because I wouldn't be surprised if in the end the act was considered to be terrorism which would make the victims eligible. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  8. The Military Order of the Purple Heart awards scholarships. The Military Order of the Purple Heart Scholarship Program is exclusively for MOPH members, their spouses and their direct descendants. Scholarship funds can be used for tuition, books, incidental fees, room & board, and other direct associated costs of higher education. http://www.purpleheart.org/Default.aspx Thanks!
  9. Not according to the wording of the second amendmend. The Foundinf father's were pretty clear that the right to bear arms was to keep the government in check. If they meant in general, they would have said: The right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Look at the first amendmend, they kept that one pretty to the point. (For those with serious reading comprehension, this does not mean I am in favour of the american government banning arms. What I do mena is that the right to bear arms in the constitution was granted for a specific purpose. Hence, arguing that the right to bear arms for another purpose is a protected right under the constitution is IMHO not valid.) Many of our founding fathers were opposed to the Bill of Rights for this very reason. There was fear, and rightly so, that any rights not listed in the BoR would be not considered rights by the US government simply because it isn't listed in the BoR. Unfortunately they were right and the BoR has served to not only enumerate but to limit the rights of the American citizen. I go further, and affirm that bills of rights, in the sense and in the extent in which they are contended for, are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. They would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colourable pretext to claim more than were granted. For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? Why for instance, should it be said, that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? Alexander Hamilton May 28th, 1788 www.FourWheelerHB.com
  10. I'm all for giving the victims in that attack purple hearts which they are currently not eligible for unless this is deemed a terrorist act. My question is what benefits do purple heart recipients receive that they otherwise wouldn't? www.FourWheelerHB.com
  11. There's an article in a women's magazine on how to "rekindle the love" and it has instructions for men on interior design? I'm calling bullshit. Love, sex, and relationships make for great threads especially how you get the women so worked up but you failed with this one yo. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  12. I am fortunate as I have a biological alcohol limiter. I can have two drinks and be ok. But if I have that third I have to continue drinking otherwise the hangover kicks in an hour. So two drinks then it's decision time. It's very cool. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  13. And yet Jon Stewart is still one of the best interviewers in the news business; real or fake. Half of the problems with politicians would go away if all news interviewers held to as high a standard as he does for accuracy and not letting people get away with shit. Always couched in humor, but he's damn good at what he does. Agreed! Jon Stewart is awesome. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  14. Hilarious! Thanks for sharing that. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  15. $320 Million in sales in 24 hours...you can't really argue with their business model. Serious gamers? Seriously? That's just silly. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  16. You obviously don't know the history of these guys....even though they went over it alittle before the jump. They have been playing bigger and bigger pranks on eachother forever. It goes back and forth and they are always good friends about it. Did you know about the million dollar basketball shot or the will you marry me question at the ballgame....it goes back way further than that even. They both find it funny or they wouldn't continue thier pranks on eachother. How rediculous is that that you are offended and find it wrong to prank someone when even the one pranked finds it funny. Its just like all the white people feeling offended for mexicans and blacks and american indians when even they aren't "offended".....like trying to ban all football teams with indian names or mascots because it was offensive to indians....and the indians protested the ban! WTF would Indians know about what could possibly offend a native American? www.FourWheelerHB.com
  17. Any 360 users on here feel free to send me a friend request. Gamertag: Jspiral ESPECIALLY YOU DARIUS! www.FourWheelerHB.com
  18. The vid actually made me laugh. "Duncan, Duncan, Duncan, Dun, Du, Du, Dun, Dun, Duncan, Duncan!" www.FourWheelerHB.com
  19. Haha that was my favorite part as well. Damn it do the Ducks miss that guy. [/laugh] www.FourWheelerHB.com
  20. I just want to see better officiating as well as suspension/fine management. I don't agree with the checking from behind rule proposed. Players already turn their backs on a player about to hit them to try to draw a penalty. Saw one just last week in the Ducks vs Penguins game during the last minute of play. www.FourWheelerHB.com
  21. That might fly with someone who doesn't know any better www.FourWheelerHB.com
  22. Mandatory naughty nurse outfits! www.FourWheelerHB.com
  23. Are all Germans this antagonistic? www.FourWheelerHB.com
