  1. Presumably we live in a "supply and demand" economy. However when the prices were at average $1.50 a gallon and going up it was all over the news. Slowly the prices crept to $1.75 and after that it stabilized for a few months. Then there were a few small reports about gas going up a quarter in the next two weeks and then we have the ANWR vote. Coincidence, I suppose it is possible. But who controls OPEC, the Saudi's? Who in the middle east are best friends of the US government regardless of political affiliation? The Saudi's!

  2. I think her trigger control is just fine. Fired me perfectly. "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  3. Never said it was good for OPEC. In fact they are increasing production to offset the spike. It is however good for GWB and cronies because it gives them an excuse to drill domestically in places we would not normally accept.. Run this search on Google. urban oil drilling "Truth is tough.

  4. Simply put if we stop pumping crap into the air it isn't going to hurt anyone and might help the planet. The problem with global warming is that by the time we can prove it is happening AND that we are responsible it will be to late to do anyting about it. "Truth is tough.

  9. Considering your wide open attacks on various subjects in other forums I am surprised by your apparent undying devotion to Microsquish products. Non-MS products will almost certainly come under attack from the insecure idiots who send out the various worms, trojans, etc. but as has been pointed out by others the response to these problems is much more immediate in open source products. The prolem at MS is the denial that there are hols in their sotware. I have been writing software for nearly 20 years and I can assure that there are holes in everthing ever written. "Truth is tough.

  10. Watch the news and see how involved and when involved his mother was in the case. Money and fame were the motivaters not abuse. "Truth is tough.

  11. Complete agreement here. The only harm done to this boy will be by the counselers that get ahold of him after the fact and explain how he was abused Yes it is a double standard but I guarantee you he enjoyed what happened and if left alone about it won't be any worse for wear. Is the reverse abuse 99.99% of the time yes because an adult male is taking advantage of different feelings from his victims. Was what this teacher did right, absolutely not but again long term harm is not likely. "Truth is tough.

    ADD/ADHD

    It really messed up my wife's sleep. She eventually decided the ADD was easier to deal with than being sleepy all of the time. "Truth is tough.

  13. What is the cost of living in said area? Is it possible that $1.00 per day is decent pay? Probably not but on the other hand someone living in many parts of the world can get by quite nicely on a whole lot less than US minimum wage. "Truth is tough.

  14. For the right kind of person going to work and then going back to school may work but it is very hard. You get a life going and then you change the whole thing again. Having to study when you got used to going to the bar after work is not an easy transition to make. "Truth is tough.

  15. As I said earlier the blood could be a simple special effect, Eyes and body movement are way out of my sphere of understanding, just like most people who would be on a civil jury.

    Tan Lines?

    You left out the third choice of "Yes." "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  17. Give it a rest. Rummy is an idiot but this is no slip or revelation or anything else, just bad sentence structure. Umarked military aircraft, yeah we keep them hanging around for things just like this. "Truth is tough.

  18. That does back it up as being real. But on the down side for the cops is that people do survive head shots on a regular basis and for no attempt to be made to see if there is a pulse or to stop the bleeding isn't going to go well for them. They seem to have said. "man that just screwed up my day, more paper work." "Truth is tough.

  19. Another reason there is no warning system in that part of the world is that this is a once in 500 year event. Something like 95% of tidal waves happen in the Pacific where the warning systems are in place. "Truth is tough.

  20. You might be suprised. Last year in Austin Texas a cop tried to stop a kid driving a stolen car. Somehow the cop got hung up on the car and was being dragged down the road. Put his gun through the window and shot the kid. Was charged with murder. "Truth is tough.

  21. Never seen a movie where someone caps themself and blood pours on the floor? Just wondering if there is a secondary source that indicates this isn't a fake. Any reason to believe someone from the police department in question would want this distributed on the net? "Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch; nay, you may kick it about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes
  22. Hope no else beat me to this but 144 posts is to many to go through. http://www.dogbitelaw.com/PAGES/statistics.html#Thedogsmostlikelytobite and for the alternate view http://www.thedogplace.com/library/articles156.htm "Truth is tough.

  23. Any secondary sources that validate this is real. Sorry but the cop coming in a picking up the shit on the table like he was cleaning up after dinner make it seem pretty weak. No one even checked his pulse. "Truth is tough.

  24. I am in an upper middle income bracket with a kid in college. Never was good at saving money, my fault, not blaming anyone. He does not quailify for any federal help and he can't get his own loans because he has no credit history. I have a bankruptcy in the past 10 years so that adds problems too. So far we have managed to scrounge up loans but it has been tricky. One I am paying on already and that started spring of his freshman year. Sorry but money is not falling out of the sky for people to go to school. He and is girl friend are getting serious and he has mentioned that married he could get loans no problem because he would no longer be a dependent. Shitty reason to get married. He has known for a long time that I would pay for his school, at least the passing grades and I think that is the correct thing to do if you can. Give you kid a leg up. BTW he works too so he can have spending money so it isn't like he has no commitment to this thing. If I lost my job in the next few months it probably would make little difference because they use last years tax return to decide what you are eligble for in federal help. My point is that this is a way more complicated subject than people with no kids in college realize. "Truth is tough.

  25. Was listening to a local radio show last Friday (17th) and a whisky expert from Scotland was on. He was passing out a few sips of 62 year old scotch. Something like USD$42,000 a bottle.
