  1. Money that can't be spent on goods and services, you mean. If the summary report of 9.5mpg gained was real, then overall it is successful. But when it's used to subsidize the purchases of Hummers and Cadillacs - iow, people who can afford to pay full fare for their gas guzzlers - it's beyond a waste. 10mpg should have been the floor for a handout, not the ceiling. You mean goods and services like cars and gas and oil and car washes? Money spent on registration fees and taxes is money that cannot be spent on oil changes and car washes, both of which can (with some consequences) be done less often if money isn't available. So WTF was your point? uh...do you KNOW how the economy works? Money spent on taxes goes back into the tax coffers which negates part of the debt incurred by the program in the first place. Money spent on registration takes federal money and makes it state money. If you havent gotten the point by now you havent been paying attention. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  2. But...but...but the original doesnt come with talking points and buzzwords! How are they supposed to know what opinion to have if someone doesnt give them one? ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  3. Well he has attempted to break the law twice within the first 6 months of his presidency. well hell since you put it in bold it MUST be true! ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  4. Its a special phone for people with a cleft palate. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  5. Id say 5+ or 4 if the ratio is off (4 girls and a guy) ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  6. Being a language freak, that's occurred to me, too. I'm the last of the generation to see dial phones as an adult. I'd expect the term will eventually die off as my generation ages, and passes on to blue skies. Or more likely we will be explaining to our grandchildren why its called a dial when there's no dial. Bits of language like that tend to hold on. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

  8. Well put. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  9. Christianity (and basically all organized religion), is by almost definition, a concentrated effort to ignore the inconvenient scripture while touting the benefit of the advantageous scripture. If the bible is divine and Beyond all question, the either all of it must be true, or none of it. How would you explain things like: John 3:13 No man hath ascended up to heaven. 2 Kings 2:11 And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. Hrm. Get your story straight, god. Leviticus 25:17 Thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. This "god" guy sure does like to send mixed signals. I'm not even going to get into the patently ridiculous "miracles" like Isaiah reversing the rotation of the earth or Elisha's bones bringing the dead back to life. Because the religious argument is to shrug and just rattle off "god works in mysterious ways". God may work in mysterious ways, but basic physics do not. I can test and repeat physics, the only proof of god is a 200 year old book that was written over 2 centuries by 40+ people and translated from 4 dead languages. The bible DOES have some good advice, the ten commandments were a decent start (though to be fair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkRYaMiP4K8). But the bible as a whole is a collection of ancient superstitions. Same with all the other religious texts. Rules, laws and outright lies made to control a superstitious and uneducated population. Almost all religious study is primarily not the study of religion, but a course in how to rationalize away the parts that no longer fit. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  10. You're missing the economic benefits of getting cash flow moving. would you rather that money just get sent to failing banks who still give out billions in bonuses? Plus new car sales = new tax/registration income. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  11. Like it? You don't even understand it. I'm not limiting anything. Just ridiculing your "free speech". P.S. The first amendment has to do with congressional laws, not forums. But good try. Really, it was. I have a cookie for you. Icing on it and everything. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  12. I don't think it just has to be for god. yet in the context it was being used, it was most certainly definition number one. I dont think they necessarily had headaches either. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  13. ....so piss in the shower. Problem solved. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  14. wut? ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  15. A present day illustration of martyrdom for Christ. Once a person experiences a relationship with Jesus he understands that death is not an important enough reason to renounce that relationship. the religious LOVE to bandy about the word "martyr" without really knowing what it means. A martyr is someone of any religion that willingly sacrifices their life in order to further their religious beliefs. Getting chopped up by jack booted thugs doesnt make someone a martyr in my opinion. Tragic, sure. Anger inciting, certainly. But they didnt exactly carry their own cross up the mount. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  16. well that and the whole making sure everyone can go to the doctor when they get injured or sick... ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  17. Holy cow, which nerve did he hit? Warpedskydiver is a very sensitive guy. IM SORRY WARPED, ILL SEND A FRUIT BASKET OK? JUST FOR FUCKS SAKES STOP CRYING ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  18. Its obviously a muslim-kenyan conspiracy perpetuated by the NWO and the CIA. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  19. There aren't any confusing messages in this thread - killing innocent people is terrorism for everyone and we do the most of it unless you wear glasses of Western exceptionalism. Wow, talk about an outright LIE. If you had any idea how much planning and effort goes into minimizing civilian casualties, youd be gobsmacked. The difference between the US military and terrorists is that terrorists TARGET the civilian population to incite fear. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  20. If you cant get the video to play, just jack off with the American Flag while watching Full metal jacket and Flags of our Fathers. Same basic experience. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  21. Means nothing in context. Explanation please? "LiveJournal (often abbreviated LJ) is a virtual community where Internet users can keep a blog, journal or diary." Meaning a forum is a place to start discussion, not just randomly post articles. Simply posting a news clipping that is presumably supposed to incite nothing more than anger, without even talking points or a question is called trolling. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~

  23. Are you for free speech, unless you disagree? If it means nothing, what are you afraid of? The truth perhaps? No the video is a bunch of pseudo-patriotic-propaganda garbage. Set to music. ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  24. http://www.pnhp.org/ ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
  25. Didn't you say several months ago that some big news(the truth) about 9/11 was going to be release around 9/11 of this year? Loose Change IV: It Turns Out Obama did it!!!! ~Bones Knit, blood clots, glory is forever, and chicks dig scars.~
