  1. China: 55 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_offences_in_China May drop 9 http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/10/28/359553334/china-may-drop-9-crimes-from-list-of-death-penalty-offenses USA: 41 http://deathpenalty.procon.org/view.resource.php?resourceID=004927 Our list is relating to murder, except for a few. Their list covers everything from treason to surrendering. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  2. (Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT) If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her. Does this give him the right to beat her after marriage? Hell, he already paid the price for raping her. Your God is insane. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  3. I think you left out the part about giving a fat lip to women who offer an opinion on anything, or are slow to produce a sammich. Don Or, a beer. You forgot the beer. That's a real mans drink! Well, that and bourbon. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  4. Weekend challenge. Try waterboarding and report back on your thoughts. You might just change your thought on whether it is torture or not. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  5. Anyone who believes waterboarding is not so bad, should try it. I tried it. Didn't last one minute. I cannot imagine being strapped down and forced to endure hours of such treatment. I agree that some of those in detention deserve what is coming to them. I also believe that many had no connection, other than being an enemy combatant on the wrong side. Much like German or Japanese soldiers. This country prosecuted those who waterboard our own soldiers in WW2 and called it torture. We vowed to never act in such a manner and to conduct ourselves in the manner we wish to be treated if captured. We should never lower ourselves just because they do it. We are far better than our enemy. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  6. Crock of shit. Most were Diest. This country in no way was founded on the delusion of Christianity. You people should get a grip on reality. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  7. And it gets there safely. No need for another pipeline. Frequency of rail testing has gone up, meaning that we test the integrity of the rail in shorter intervals than previous. Good for the railroads. BNSF has the bulk of oil transport. I am currently testing on the Union Pacific and see a lot of oil pass by as I wait on track and time. More support for railroad is needed in way of maintenance in order to keep it safe. More maintenance means more jobs on the railroad. Pipeline creates short term jobs. Rail jobs are long term. The xl pipeline will create, roughly, 40,000 short term jobs and will end in, roughly, two years. What will be left is about fifty long term jobs.

  8. Spent a few months testing the rails in the subway. Did the test at night due to low traffic. You see some crazy ass people at 3am. Seen the people who live down there. And yes, there are rats bigger than cats in those tunnels. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  9. The Sunset Limited deals with the issue of suicide. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a98W-vW0sh4 "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  10. Since you claim to be amongst Iowa's smartest, got a score of 100% on some stupid quiz that any ten year old could pass (if he/she watched the news,) how is it that you cannot spell? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  11. I've seen seagulls here in Minnesota! Why does Obama not do something about this potential carrier! If I get sick, it will be his fault. Time to deploy the anti-gull guns. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  12. Way up there on Sugarloaf Mountian????? All 312ft???? How in the hell do you breath so high in the sky???? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  13. I'm 54yo, I own property and have expensive habits (skydiving, Harleys and, classic cars/trucks. I make just under $70,000.00 before taxes. There is no way that I could take a minimum wage job. If by chance that I had to take a low wage position, I would have to also apply for government assistance. This is the case with so many working for next to nothing. I live in a county where the high wage is near $30k. The vast majority in the county collect food stamps and other types of government assistance. It is a republican stronghold. Never mind that these people have been living on government assistance for years, long before the current POTUS, they still blame Obama and the unions for their lack of a living wage and benifits. Glad I am a rail tester. Can't send my job to another country. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  14. I was at the Nashville airport Marriott two years ago for a company meeting. My MiFi was jammed. $20.00 per day if you wished to use their connection. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  15. The ACA is working, unemployment is at 6.1, the economy is growing. Obama is doing a fine job. So, will there be a going away party before you move to another country? "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  16. And, how shocked they all would be to learn that it is actually a socialist pledge written by Francis Bellamy and that the god reference was added in 1954. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  17. Why would you want to? You can get shot for doing what a police officer is telling you to do. On top of that, many seem to think that is ok. I would think, more so on the conservative side. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  18. Both arms and tattoos on all of my fingers. Wonder how a company would handle that. Luckily I work on the railroad. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  19. Widespread Panic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vJGDspxlnY "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  20. Obvious, his ability to instruct was sub par in that he thought it was a good idea to hand a full auto weapon to a child. Any instructor with the mind set that doing such is a good idea needs to re-examine their ability to teach. So you would suggest some kind of self-assessment as to whether you have the ability to teach firearm use. Perhaps we should do that for AFF too. Let anyone be an AFF instructor who examines their own ability to instruct and concludes that they can do it. To an extent, yes. I re-assess my ability to perform my job on a daily basis. The day that I can no longer perform my job, I'll quit. Lives and millions of dollars depend on me performing at a high level. I do know what you are saying, however and, yes, more than self assessment is needed in any critical function as we often miss the faults in ourselves.

  21. Obvious, his ability to instruct was sub par in that he thought it was a good idea to hand a full auto weapon to a child. Any instructor with the mind set that doing such is a good idea needs to re-examine their ability to teach. I had an Uzi in the early 1980's. Even a semi auto, when slamming out rounds, can be a bear to handle as it wants to fly upwards. Not the type of gun any child should handle.

  22. I clipped the rear end of a stopped car on HWY 70 in St. Louis, shortly after dropping of Tamara Koyn. The guy stopped in the outside lane thinking he was on the shoulder. He was drunk. By the time I realized that a car was stopped in the my lane (no lights on and car turned off,) I barely had time to make a move to the other lane. Shit happens fast at 65mph. Fucked up the bumper and grille on my 1980 El camino SS. They blamed me for the rear end hit. His insurance refused to fix my car. This guy is just as much at fault for the death of his children. How sad. It's a case of 'just didn't see it coming'. Always think ahead and envision what may happen. It could save a life. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  23. I grew up in Ferguson, MO. The police are assholes, nothing less. Doesn't matter what color your skin is to them. They have equal disdain for all races. Fuck the Ferguson police. They'll get what they deserve. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  24. Show me the proof you have. Had Bush never invaded Iraq, this shit would not be going on right now. That's your proof. I bet the people of Iraq wish that Saddam was still in power, considering the huge mess that the US created. Hell, BushCo gave the terrorist a training ground to hone their skills. I can imagine how much they love him. "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
  25. Oh...Yeah...Ok....It actually does now....... Kindly pass it over to me... I'm still confused.Quote "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black." Neil Young
