  1. Check the box...... Derek V Sure, but there's no incentive to do so right now. Discount the dues for people who don't want the mag, and i'll check the box. cavete terrae.
  2. If they were a bit more efficient with the magazine, it'd probably help. We don't need two copies every month at our house, for example. Frankly, we don't even need one… . cavete terrae.
  3. Hey kids, Just dropped a message to Bonehead since they're too cool to answer the phones when an asshole calls right before they close , but hoping someone might happen to know the specs on the bolts, washers, and/or anything else needed to reattach a Mamba visor. The lady of the house wants to get back in the sky and lost her attachment hardware . Hopefully it's commodity stuff I can get at Home Despot or whatever… cavete terrae.
  4. Shit, not out here it ain't. 100 hours might start approaching that, if you're paying retail for the time… cavete terrae.

    Pets?

    Stormy the Alaskan Klee Kai (1y old) and Samba the Bengal (6yo) cavete terrae.
  6. Skydive Adventures, in Luverne, MN. Great group of people, can't recommend them enough. cavete terrae.
  7. Nobody should ever host another olympics, until the olympics stop being a waste of taxpayer money. cavete terrae.
  8. I've got a nice long stay at ORD next Wednesday night and figured I might as well see if I can get some flying in during that. Anyone have a recommended coach? cavete terrae.
  9. What!! Just like it says. I'm not willing to have my life ruined by the government for something I didn't do, and it'd be hypocritical of me to expect others to be subjected to the same cavete terrae.
  10. I don't know if he was guilty or not, but I do know that I think there was a lot of dirty shit being pulled by the cops and prosecution, enough so that I'd rather see him walk. Based on what I saw on the show, and what I've read rebutting the show's viewpoint, I still think there was enough reasonable doubt to let him go. The fact that the nephew was convicted is a SERIOUS miscarriage of justice, and the fact that his first lawyer has cancer is nowhere near enough punishment for that sleazy piece of garbage. I'd rather have a hundred murderers walking free than one innocent person in prison. Why? Because I don't want to be the innocent person in prison. cavete terrae.
  11. Tyler should have followed his lead. cavete terrae.
  12. The best president we've ever had was William Henry Harrison, who had the good grace to fuck off and die before he screwed anything up. More should follow his example. cavete terrae.
  13. To be fair, our fucking around in that part of the world is why we had limited-time-only nonstop flights to the WTC in the first place. For decades The World has expected the US to secure the Gulf shipping, escort the tankers, and protect the NATO friendly countries. I had a coworker years ago who served in the Navy in the early 80s and could tell you all about being at general quarters for 18 hours on a destroyer doing tanker escort. Not fun. But everything that happened was our fault. OK, fine. You Sir, are entitled to your opinion. This is still a free country. Escorting tankers doesn't involve overthrowing governments and supporting tyrants. cavete terrae.

  15. Much like I feel about most of our government, I don't want to see religion killed by others. I want to see those politicians and religion die natural deaths and then celebrate them. cavete terrae.
  16. http://listverse.com/2010/06/05/10-people-who-give-atheism-a-bad-name/ But what's a couple million anyway? What difference, at this point, does it really make now anyway? Of those, Stalin's actions against the churchies are the only ones that even remotely quality for what Kallend is talking about. The rest are just people being cunts that would have been cunts no matter what their person belief was. Yet you didn't apply that marginalization until it was atheism that was being criticized - nice double standard. I'm not sure if you guys are in denial or just trolling... I'm not sure if you're naive or dumb. Nobody is out there going "I am killing you because atheism" but atrocities overtly in the name of some retarded fairy tale have been happening for thousands of years. cavete terrae.

  18. The fact that otherwise intelligent, rational people can and too-often do cling to religion amazes and saddens me. I wouldn't seek to take it away from them (and I would ask that they not attempt to force it on me), but I'm long past the point where I will "respect" their decision. cavete terrae.
  19. Well, since they feel unloved, they have resorted to the kind of charm that is sure to win over those who were skeptical. Who would have thought that they could be so endearing? "I'll fuck you 'til you love me!" cavete terrae.
  20. Religion bringing more peace and harmony to the world… cavete terrae.
  21. Excuse my trimming there, but I don't see a compelling reason these should be mandatory. Lights, horns and brakes are for the safety of others as much as anything. If you want to make a choice involving your own body and you're an adult, so be it. No helmet on a bike, no seatbelt in the car, etc should not be concerns of the government. cavete terrae.
  22. Signing laws, vetoing laws and meeting with leaders of other countries have consequences, sometimes very serious consequences. Invading other countries is pretty serious, specially when you end up spending a couple of trillion on it. Guess you label those as not of consequence? Not really following you here. In my mind, invading other countries shouldn't be something the president is ordering, that should be for congress. Consider, though, that my favorite president is william henry harrison, who remains the only president who had the good grace to die before he fucked anything up. cavete terrae.
  23. Seriously? I would think Iraq would look significantly different right now if Bush had not been president. If you think that the leader of a country has absolutely no impact on that country, you may want to lay of the mind altering substances and read a history book. I'll correct myself: The individual president SHOULDN'T matter, in theory. In practice, William Henry Harrison remains the only president I admire. Pretty funny that you just accused someone who has never had alcohol or recreational drugs of being drunk or high, though. There are non-recreational mind altering substances. Quite a few of them. It was either that, utterly naïve, or incredibly dumb. And the individual President should matter. It should matter a lot. Why you would think that the leader of a country shouldn't matter? Do you think all leaders should have no influence over those they lead? His job, in my mind, should be to either sign laws or veto them, and represent the nation when meeting with other people who represent their nation. Certainly he's going to have involvement with economic matters, military and so forth, but most of the things of consequence should be handled by other branches. In my opinion, of course. cavete terrae.
