  1. Why would you come on a public forum that your nephew can access and post your disappointment of him? This could be some of the greatest times in his life and he could grow in maturity and find out what he wants to do with the rest of it. I know the military gave me time to figure out what I wanted to do with my life.

  2. An elderly couple were at home watching TV.

    Phil had the remote and was switching back and forth between a fishing channel and the porn channel.


    Mary became more and more annoyed and finally said, "For God's sake, Phil... leave it on the porn channel you know how to fish!"

    Well, I don't even think "Christianity" is mentioned in the bible either.



    Acts 11:26 "...first called Christians in Antioch..."
    See also Acts 26:28 and 1Peter 4:16

    Pfffft, that was written like 1000 years ago! We were talking about the bible - how dare you quote scripture!

    LOL. My apologies....

    Hi BV,

    When I was in middle school, there were three sets of twins in my grade alone.



    My high school graduating class had 302 people & five sets of twins.

    My twin grandkids are seniors in a small school that has 434 total enrollment. There are six sets of twins in the senior class.

    "The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said a survey using new technology has revealed Denali is 100 feet shorter than previously thought. The last accepted elevation was 20,320 feet, but the actual figure is 20,310 feet."

    Looks like some journalist should have taken a math class.

  7. I caught four mice in five days with trap baited with peanut butter. My grandson shot a rat in the barn with my 410. Close enough that it blew the rat in half.

    >Its true that some would be exported, but about a million barrels of import per
    >day will be eliminated and stay in the US. NET bonus for our oil dependence.

    No, not really. The Keystone already extends through North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and into Iowa and Illinois. The extensions they are arguing about now would add capacity from Canada to Nebraska and into the Houston port for export. Overall a net MINUS for our oil independence; with more foreigners using our oil, we will drain American oil sooner and be more reliant on imports for the rest of the US.

    (Now, if the Keystone extensions had been proposed to Nevada and Pennsylvania, that would indeed have reduced our dependence on foreign oil. But as it stands, the only ones to benefit will be the big oil companies.)




    How is that Canada's natural resources belong to the USA?

    You can enlist at 17 in the US with parental permission. I enlisted at 17 and retired at 37. But that's a little off topic.:)



    I knew that, but essentially the parent is allowing the "child" to do what they want to do whereas and 18 year old is allowed to make an "adult" decision.

    My father-in-law got in at 14 doing WWII.

  10. "Which is fairly irrelevant to the topic. That 85% are fairly clearly on or near the adult side of the line - from my personal experience Germany would sell beer to nearly all of them. If you trust them with alcohol, clearly you view them as having a level of maturity. Note that we do not and have a drinking age of 21."

    But we send 18 year olds to war to die, so are you saying we are sending children to war?

    And I see that in Germany a 17 year old can enlist.
